We were extremely disappointed by our breakfast experience here. As hotel guests, we believed…read morebreakfast was complimentary on Saturdays and Sundays based on the information we received during our stay. Unfortunately, we later discovered a charge of approximately $90 on our final bill. Our breakfast was very modest: scrambled eggs, yogurt, and oatmeal. Seeing such a large charge at checkout was both surprising and frustrating. There are many excellent local restaurants and cafés in the surrounding area that offer better value and a more authentic experience. If you are staying at the DoubleTree, I would strongly recommend exploring those options instead. Unless you have confirmed the pricing and exactly what is included, be very careful about dining here. Unexpected charges can quickly turn a simple breakfast into a very expensive surprise at checkout.

They offer full breakfast menu as well as the option to choose the buffet. Seeing as I'm not a fan of buffets, I elected to order food off of the menu. I wasn't feeling very adventurous and only ordered the breakfast sliders, although they tasted great! The three sliders come paired with breakfast potatoes, but PR style. Lots of flavor with onions and peppers This restaurant is kept very clean and the ambiance is that of a normal hotel restaurant. The servers were wonderful and ready to help with whatever we needed. Of course the prices are going to be a bit steep as in one of the touristy parts of San Juan, so it was expected. Overall, two thumbs and two toes up for Cafe Pierre. Happy eating, my foodies! Bien Dia!

Novio and I are still in Puerto Rico visiting family and he had been wanting to take me to this…read morequaint little place right behind his family home in Río Piedras. He and Momager have been going there since its opening so she gets special treatment, free dessert included. Unfortunately Momager was out of town for business and we went on a special date. We went on a Wednesday around 7pm. NOTE: the place is BYOB (bring your own beer) they serve absoluteli NO ALCOHOL, but you are allowed to bring as much as you want and they keep it cold for you and serve it whenever you desire. The place appears small and parking is limited, but is is minimalistic, clean, and classy (the place not the parking). We ordered pimientos stuffed with manchego cheese and chorizo as an appetizer and it was absolutely divine it took me all the way to Barcelona! Note: that was the special of the day and I don't know if its a set menu item, I'll have to ask Novio about that. Now for the entrees; novio being a vivacious carnivore ordered beef short ribs and I ordered half an avocado stuffed with king crab with a side salad and an arañita on the side (arañitas are a food item most common in latin america where shredded plantain bits are put together and fried, they are crunchy bites of pure joy). My entree was in the appetizer option but it was big enough to be a meal on its own. We ordered a side of mampostiao' rice but by that time we were so full we took the whole thing to go. And finally... DESSERT! I love dessert and unfortunately novio has advanced hypoglycemia and can't partake (its unfortunate for him, i truly don't mind at all). We ordered the barriguitas de abuela ( grandma bellies) which are similar to donut holes except stuffed with dulce de leche (condensed milk candy) with berries on the side. It was sooooo good and I ate all six of them as Novio watched in horror. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. If you don't drink the entire bottle of wine they cork it back up and bag it for you to take home. It's a must visit place for latin food with s twist when in Puerto Rico.

Every single appetizer was a 10/10, I would highly recommend the shrimp tempura, it was amazing! The risotto was also incredible, the texture was great and the flavor was on point. We also ordered an assortment of cocktails, my favorite was the Wild Berry mojito. The restaurant itself was busy and full of people but we had plenty of space and privacy. I will definitely be back, I can't recommend this place enough.

When I politely asked about the status of her food, the staff brought out an entirely different dish instead of the meal she had ordered. To make matters worse, they later charged us for the incorrect dish that they brought by mistake. Rather than resolving the issue professionally, the manager was called over and began yelling at employees in front of customers. This created an uncomfortable atmosphere and was extremely unprofessional. Mistakes happen, but how a restaurant handles them matters. Unfortunately, the lack of communication, poor customer service, and unprofessional management left a very negative impression. I hope they improve their customer service and staff training in the future.
