Caña by José Enrique

Located inside the Fairmont ESJ hotel. This restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner; it is the go to place for hotel guests for meals. We have stayed here for 6 nights and ate breakfast here daily. So I will just comment on my breakfast experience of this restaurant. Service was great, especially the egg station chefs and the waiters/waitresses. They were courteous and responsive to our requests. Food variety was a okay. The hot section had 5 items: scrambled egg, potatoe, sausage, bacon and waffle. Pastry section had a variety of breads, from French braguet to whole wheat to rye and etc. Cold section had ham, turkey, salami and a variety of vegetables and fruits. There was also a cereal station with 3 selections. The food remained unchanged during our stay; I became a little bored with it. But it was okay, I never had expectation for fancy breakfast in the US anyway. There were plenty of tables, both in and outdoors; but do plan on waiting around 5-15 minutes if come during peak breakfast time from 9:30-10:00.

Breakfast at Caña was included during my stay at the Hotel El San Juan. Prices for the main platters are at $25, juice $12, drip coffee $6. The bagel with smoked salmon was my favorite and the crispy capers were a nice touch. The Mallorca sandwich and the eggs Benedict were decent but the accompanying potatoes had an overly sweet glaze. The tres leches French toast was a novel concept but the tres leches flavor didn’t quite come through especially after the maple syrup was poured.

The restaurant looks beautiful, but unfortunately that’s where the positives end. We visited as a family for a birthday celebration, and the service was disorganized from the start. Staff couldn’t remember who ordered what and kept circling the table asking. My chicken paillard turned out to be a salad, even though it wasn’t listed under salads, and they still wanted to charge $35 for a cold, dry chicken salad that was worse than what you’d get at a fast-food place. Drink refills were offered but never delivered, and when we wanted dessert, only some people were given menus while others were ignored. We tried to explain at the beginning how the bill needed to be split, but the staff told us they’d handle it later. At the end, they refused to split the $1,000 check as requested. Meals that were supposed to be comped because they were sent back were still on the bill, even after they told us they’d been removed. For the amount of money you spend here, the service and food quality are extremely disappointing. You can’t rely on the staff to handle the check accurately, and you’ll need to double-check everything yourself. I do not recommend this restaurant.

The food here is good but nothing special. I don’t think it’s worth the very high prices. Their hot sauce is good, you have to ask for it. It was good vibes, music and scenery is good. Staff is very friendly and attentive.

Cana breakfast buffet $45 per person. Beautiful setup and display of food. Plenty of fruit, proteins and omelet Station.

Compared to other restaurants at the same price level, the food here is far below standard — honestly, not even close!!! If you set your prices like a high-end restaurant, you should hire a competent chef. The salad was nothing but plain leaves, with no dressing at all and a very minimal set of ingredients that didn’t even work well together. The “crab salad” turned out to be just a basic crab cake, which felt misleading. The swordfish was extremely underwhelming. Ruined evening and money wasted. I would not recommend this place.

Hyped up just because it’s inside the Fairmont. Fancy names for ordinary dishes. Wobbly tables where one has to literally maneuver feet to hold the table in place. Enough said……..

This was the ABSOLUTE worse dining experience that we have ever had as a family. We paid over $1000 for a horrible, practically inedible dinner for NYE. I want a refund. We left dissatisfied and hungry. The food was not fresh, the oysters were swimming in water, the fish was clearly frozen past its due date and the snow crab was fishy and dry. The charcuterie board was dried out and the cheese selection was poor. The best item was the salad. I felt so badly for my husband and children as no one could really eat and we left hungry. I left in disbelief that the food was that bad and yet so expensive. It was shameful. I’ll never go back and I would run not walk away. Read the other reviews. It was awful.

Definitely visit this place if you have kids. We just decided to go here without reading much into reviews and were surprised that they had kids festival (for Christmas) going on with complimentary face painting, tattoo, popsicles, arts and crafts and lots of games. Service was amazing. Ambiance was perfect by the pool-side and we enjoyed our food - chicken tenders and fries for my toddler was great, my fish tacos we delicious with tender fish and my husband enjoyed his burger. I loved my cocktails too. Overall a great restaurant to eat at.

Beautiful ambiance, food is mediocre at best. Breakfast buffet was a disaster as the guests in front of us were each ordering 4-6 omelets a piece to bring for their families! So unacceptable! This should never be allowed and management was not monitoring the situation. We stood inline for 45 minutes to get an omelet. They run the omelet stations with gas canisters that need to be changed out every few minutes. Most inefficient way of operating a restaurant for an entire hotel. Then the kicker, brunch was $46 per person!! Awful food. Completely not worth it

Fantastic restaurant, very high-quality and excellent service located inside the Fairmont hotel. Everything was great and the presentation was wonderful and the setting was beautiful overlooking the pool. Compared to several of the other local restaurants, this one was by far one of the best

Ate here at Caña for lunch this afternoon. Ordered at Grilled Churrasco (10oz steak, chinichurrii with tostones and ESJ Burger (8oz Angus Beef, bacon and fries). For dessert, we had house Rum Cake with 2 macarons - a must to try. Best way to end the meal too! Service is up to par and love the restaurant ambiance and great ocean view from the beach club. Staffs are friendly and helpful, specially Orlando.

The absolute worst food for the money. Pork chop was cooked like a brick. No flavor, prepared with broccolini and a marinara. Do not order. Family ordered salmon, beef tenderloin and snapper. All, very plain and underwhelming. Save your time, money and go elsewhere. Server made bad recommendations and knew it. He was average. Avoid at all cost!!

My wife had the steak and got food poisoning. Other than that, service, food and ambiance was fine.

Multiple Visits during our stay - Cana did not disappoint. Lunch visit choice was the ESJ Burger prepared medium rare - a wonderful burger. With bacon, red onion, tomato, chedder cheese, pickles, and fries this item solved our mid day hunger. Dinner visit choice was the incredible Beef Tenderloin. Tender and tasteful it was. An excellent dish. Also ordered - The "Chillo Frito" or pan fried snapper which was enjoyed as well. Service can be relaxed here as well.

I think this restaurant has the best service, our server, Alex seems to be very passionate about great food and service. He recommended the seafood salad and the baccalaito (cod fish fritters). It was refreshing and delicious. The restaurant is by the pool and has a relaxing vibe.

Made a reservation here for Christmas Eve dinner. The restaurant itself was fine in terms of service and the hardworking waitstaff who were doing their best at their jobs. The issue we had was the fact that we were not guests of the ESJ Fairmont hotel and they do not offer complimentary parking for people dining here, which is absolutely ridiculous, especially since we ended up spending over $350 dollars for a subpar buffet meal for 3 people, to which inexplicable "food" taxes were lobbed on to the bill. The most offensive aspect was being told the parking would be validated by the hostess and then finding out (later at the pay gate) that there is only a $5.00 discount taken off for the first hour of parking. After trying to contact someone on the phone, we were hung up on so we had to repark our vehicle and physically go back to the restaurant to be told "whoops, it's not "validated" parking, but a $5.00 off discount"the restaurant referred us to the hotel front desk to check to see if they could remediate the situation. Long story short, after spending almost an hour trying to get the parking validated, being told since it was Christmas Eve, they would fix the situation, the restaurant manager, Vivian, completely dropped the ball. Instead of salvaging a bad experience, with professionalism, she chose to be lazy, and simply did nothing to help improve the situation. The most annoying part of it was the smirk from Vivian and acting like it was normal to react this way to a customer.

I was here twice for breakfast while staying at the Fairmont hotel. It's a beautiful area with very nice bar , outdoor and indoor seating. Service by the staff here is definitely 5 stars, they're so friendly. But the food is what counts, it's probably one of the best breakfast buffets I've ever been to. The omelette station had a variety of delicious additional ingredients along with local cheese, these are a very healthy portion. Of course there is a variety of pastries, fruit, bagels, fresh bread, yogurt and toppings, pancakes,sausage, bacon and juices. I ate way too much but would definitely go back, it was wonderful!

We stayed at the Fairmont Hotel in Puerto Rico and visited this charming breakfast restaurant every morning. I tried the avocado toast and the smoked salmon bagel, while my fiancé enjoyed the two eggs breakfast. The highlight for me was the breakfast potatoes--they were the best I've ever had. If you're in the area, I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Beautiful setting at the Fairmont hotel. Valet was only $16 with the validation. We had my mom's 1/2 birthday dinner and they made her feel super special. I had the snapper. Lots of sauce, they seem to like the coconut sweet sauces here. Everyone enjoyed their meals! I had an espresso martini - it was too sugary.

The service and server was freaking amazing. I cannot say more about everyone who works here. For dinner and breakfast, each of them are amazing. I prefer Caña for breakfast, specifically the buffet. You can get a made to order omelette, coffee, fruits, meats, cheeses, cereal, pressed juice, etc. All pretty good. I'd skip dinner. It's expensive and not particularly good. My snapper was dry and over cooked but well seasoned. So go for breakfast, tip your servers if they are making an omelette as well as waiting on you, and skip the dinner.

We stayed at the Fairmont El San Juan and utilized Cana for their morning breakfast buffet, but little did I know that their dinner options would be the real star! We did not have their dinner options until our last night in Puerto Rico - but what a sweet way to end our trip! My goodness, Cana is beautiful. The AC is lovely inside but the real view is outside. You get to see the gorgeous layout that is the hotel pools and gardening. Our servers were always so kind and took amazing care of us. Service was superb! We ordered the mofongo, the pork chop, the blue crab rice, and the sweet potato creme brulee. My partner and I were a HUGE fan of the rice. It was flavorful, packed with delicious crab flavor, and found the prawns to be beautifully cooked. Our favorite dish was dessert. We have never heard of a sweet potato creme brulee before, but it was truly delicious! Overall, Cana is lovely for breakfast, but even more stunning for dinner. Highly recommend this place!

This place is beautiful. The hotel is exquisite and the entire layout is smart. I wish I could say the same about the dining experience at Caña. It was our first night in Puerto Rico, so we were looking for something authentic and upscale. I was excited when we sat down in the beautiful space and awaited our dining experience. Our waiter was a nice guy. We ordered two appetizers (grilled octopus and goat cheese croquettes) and it took him about 10 minutes to get our drinks to the table. No big deal, sometimes the bar can be a little slow. Then we waited for appetizers. He took our main order and we continued to wait for our appetizers. 30 minutes later, our mains came out. No appetizers. We told the waiter, he didn't believe we ordered appetizers until he looked at his notepad and saw that he wrote it down. We started eating our mains. My pork tenderloin was over $40 and was a portion size for a 5 year old. It was supposed to be sous vide which one would assume means the pork would be amazingly tender, but it was slightly overcooked. The flavor was good, but it was gone in about 3 bites because there was so little of it. My wife's snapper was fine. Nothing too special, and for $60 we were expecting something more impressive. The real kick to the face was the "kid's meals" and drinks. I didn't ask about prices when he rattled of items--they're kids meals, how much could they be? I figured it'd be a little silly, but boy was I wrong. It wasn't silly, it was criminal. Robbery. 1 lemonade--$12. 2 cans of sprite--$12. Hotdog with fries--$18. Chicken quesadilla with fries-$28. Chicken breast with side of rice/beans--$28. Finally when we finished our mains, they returned with appetizers...but both of them were wrong. Then the things we ordered came out. The octopus was very overcooked and I only ate it because it was $20. The croquettes were amazing. I would eat them every day. The waiter apologized and offered to take care of dessert, so we all ordered. Tiramisu, chocolate lava cake, sweet corn beignets with Rum sauce, and ice cream. The tiramisu was an attempt at deconstructing in a tall glass, so it was difficult to eat and unbalanced because of how it has to be layered in the glass. The lava cake was, you guessed it, not what was actually delivered to the table but the service was so slow (it was well over 2 hours at that point) that we weren't sending it back. The sweet corn beignets were completely inedible. The exterior crust was fine, but the insides were mush and it was like putting a big spoonful of beach sand in my mouth. It was basically the uncooked beignet batter encased in a crusty shell. We like to try new places and have no qualms with spending good money for good food and service. Sadly, our waiter was off his game, the food was beyond disappointing, and I would have felt less violated if I just got mugged at the local corner store instead of paying those prices for the experience that was delivered. 2 1/2 hours later we were happy to be leaving, certain that they'd have to pay me a significant amount of money to ever consider stepping foot in that restaurant again. It's a shame because the potential is huge. But hey, if you like being disappointed with everything and then getting shived by a bill that you stare at for 10 minutes because you're certain something is wrong (sorry, those are the actual hidden prices)--this is your spot! As for me and my family, no gracias.

Incredibly slow service. Main dish left after taste I can't get rid of, partly given we've had to serve our own water, over and over...

I'm giving this place 3 stars, for the sub par food and poor service. We had a large party with reservations, we were told we would all be seated together, when we arrive that was not the case, and all the tables had to be moved to accommodate us sitting together as informed earlier. So we then we're split between two servers, half the table had one server, half the table had another. So the left half of the table was done eating before the right side of the table even got a plate of food. Server on the one side of the table was rude and short the entire time, the female on the left was very kind an accommodating. Food was ok, not very good for the price. The tartar was good, the octopus was good, we had food come out incorrectly after waiting so long to wait again, the swordfish was dry. Drinks 10/10 very yummy Overall, not a great experience. Pretty place.

Let's start with breakfast... During my vacation trip here in Puerto Rico I've been able to eat breakfast here at the Cana every morning. I must say it's been a splendor to do so. I've always gotten their breakfast buffet that runs until 11am. This breakfast buffet includes everything I could ever ask for in a breakfast meal. For the traditional breakfast folks they have a great spread of plump sausages, crispy bacon, baked plantains, and fluffy scrambled eggs. They also have a bread & dessert bar section that is worth checking out especially because they change up the desserts daily. The display of local fruits are a delight to see from dragonfruit, guava, melon, watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, and more. I love their local Greek style yogurt and their granola bowls that they display. But my usual favorite has been their delicious plate of beautifully swirled lox on a plate accompanied by little bowls of capers and diced red onions. Then when you top that with their omelette bar I've been eating in breakfast heaven every day. I get their vegetarian omelette and the secret to this entire breakfast is their house made spicy salsa that they only offer if you ask and if they have made enough for the day. This sauce is divine and makes every bit of the meal as perfect as can be. Now let's go into dinner... I have to say dinner at Cana last night blew every other meal I've had on the island to smidderines. The entire dinner experience was immaculate. We were sold by our passionate acting hostess/manager who greeted us at the front. I believe her name was Shereen who was wearing these pearly white head piece that matched her bubbly yet genuine personality. Without being overbearing she delightfully went down the entire dinner menu section by section passionately explaining her favorite dishes and explaining the rationale to why it was her favorite. She crafted her way quickly through each section of the menu and by the time she was done with explaining the dessert menu we were completely sold in dining at Cana for dinner. We got almost everything she recommended and it sure did not disappoint. For the Para Picar snacks we selected with the Buenuelos de Yautia (white yam fritters, capaez cheese, jalapeño aioli) & for the Para Empezar starters, we got the Salpicon de Polpo (chilled octopus with black olive remoulade, & tostones). This octopus dish was my ultimate favorite. It was so delicious to every bite. I ate the whole thing and did not share. Hahaha. Then for the Platos, we ordered the Chillo a la Plancha (whole red snapper, cilantro,preserved lemon salsa verde, & lemon shout sauce). It comes in a small, medium, & large size option. We tried to order the small but they only had medium available. It was a lot of red snapper but delicious and we ended up taking more than half of it home. We also ordered the Arroz Con Congrejo y Langostino (blue crab rice with prawns). The prawns were so juicy and plump and spectacularly enormous. I lived the prawns. I was a bit saddened to see the blue crab felt drowned out by the rice but still delectable. Then to top off the evening we ended with the Copa de Caramelo (salted chocolate mousse, raspberry chocolate crumble) multiple layered dessert that was to die for. We were so pleased to have tipped off our trip with our evening at Cana. It was a sheer delight to end it on such a high note here at the Fairmont Hotel.

I wish there were more entree-style options on the lunch menu. All they really had were appetizer, 1 salad, tacos and sandwiches. I prefer a piece of meat with some sides, which only the kids menu offered the grilled chicken. The breakfast and the dinner menus looked much better, and they brought back their weekend brunch buffet, which I remember offered a large selection of tasty food. Will be back because the food is still better than what they offer at the pool/beach.

For the price point of this restaurant the food is average at best. The food came out like warm, which says that the kitchen cannot prepare 6 dishes at once... Bery disappointing for the price point

Good brunch but probably not worth the cost if you aren't planning to take advantage of the endless mimosas. Omelette station, lots of baked goods.

We went on Sunday at 12 which ended up being a brunch menu. The menu is prix fix with 3 courses. You pick a dish for the first two courses. I had the sorrento bagel as my first, the fish tacos as my second and we got carrot cake. I also had the mimosas which were good. We sat outside which overlooked the ocean. Great experience. It is a little expensive but I would go again.

The good: I was in and out in 30 minutes on a Friday night, and the waiter was nice enough to validate my valet parking right away. The bad: I ordered two appetizers and an entrée as soon as I sat down (the waiter skipped the usual water/cocktail, then food, check in, etc. ), plus a glass of water and a cocktail. The appetizers arrived in less than five minutes. One appetizer contained white rice, which was undercooked and instantly stuck in my teeth. Then, the entrée arrived, containing the same batch of rice. it wasn't until after that that I received my first glass of water. I finished the entrée, then my cocktail arrived. $81 + tip...

Food and service was good. And the view amazing. I like how the waitress take care of us even we weren't staying at the hotel.

Beautiful place. This is our 4th time here so we know we have really enjoyed it each time. Food is always beautifully presented & tasty. A definite must try

Ambiance and view is amazing. Easily of the best atmosphere in the area and very classy but fun vibes. Service was average but solid. Drinks were amazing. Food was.... Lacking. Both in portion size and flavor. The Aruba Crudo was full and had no flavor. The shrimp main course was 3 shrimp served over rice. You are better off paying $10/shrimp at local raw bar. Seriously, that's a better deal.

We had a big party, with 13 people in all, 1 of which was a toddler. This dinner was supposed to be for my grandparents' anniversary, but it turned out very poorly. We made our reservation several months ahead where they shared the menu that was supposed to be available, as well as offering their accommodations such as one table for us all, being inside, and a kids menu. The restaurant was charging $150 per person, and when we tried saying that the toddler would only eat food that was brought for them, they still said they would charge for them, which was disappointing. When we got there for the reservation there were 2 separate tables, instead of one large table as had been requested, as well as being seated outside next to a noisy and actively used swimming pool. They moved us inside but said they couldn't do 1 table even though they said they would over email. The food itself was disappointing, with cold, unseasoned, and fatty meat, little selection, and overall poor quality especially for what we were paying. ($1,950 excluding drinks, tips, tax etc.) There were also multiple things on the menu that were promised and people were looking forward too that weren't offered such as champagne, morcilla (blood sausage), and a vegetable puree. Overall not a great experience, although the reason this is a 2 star review and not a 1 star, is the service. Our server was very nice, attentive, and understanding, and lowered the price as we expressed our issues and what was promised v what was given. Glad they had some great staff even if our experience wasn't. Very disappointed for my grandparents that this was the quality of what should have been a very nice meal and experience.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere! The food was terrific and the service impeccable! The seafood was outstanding. Highly recommend

Caña is the fancy in-house restaurant at the El San Juan hotel (now owned by Fairmont). It's nicely decorated with a mix of Spanish and general 'stuff I found at HomeGoods' influencers. It's also located by the pool but set back a bit, so it's pretty quiet with both indoor and outdoor tables. They use the same space for all meals however it's effectively 2 restaurants in 1: for breakfast/lunch it's the main restaurant for the resort, and for dinner it becomes the fancy place. Please note this as it wasn't clear the first time we went. Service was stellar across the board, unlike other places at the ESJ (looking at you, pool bar). Typically had Enrique during breakfast/lunch-time and Alberto for dinner. Enrique was a super nice and accommodating guy, while Alberto knew the menu--and every single thing about every dish--like the back of his hand. One of the more professional waiters I've ever had, and without any snottiness. For dinner, the chef was there trying out the next iteration of the menu; they keep no cans/microwaves in the kitchen so everything has to be fresh. In other words, the people working here actually take pride in their food. For dinner, the result of all of this was one of the best meals I had anywhere. Came here 3 times, once with my wife/kid, once for takeout (baby wasn't cooperating), and once by myself. For appetizers we had the buñuelos (white yam fritters), wahoo tartar (their take on a delicate ceviche), and a roasted beet salad (with a local white cheese). All 3 were superb, with the wahoo being the best ceviche I've ever had, the buñuelos being like a savory zeppole, and the roasted beet salad being just an excellent rendition of a classic. For mains, I had the whole grilled red snapper, the arroz con cangrejo y langostino (crab rice with prawns), the camarones al ajillo (garlic shrimp), and tostones (fried mashed green plantains) as a side. The crab rice was excellent although on the heavy side. The snapper is what I got for takeout, and as weird as that was, it was a great piece of fish. My favorite was the camarones al ajillo, which was the best version I've had of this classic anywhere. Perfect for dipping the tostones in the sauce. Had the bread pudding and 1 other item (I forget) for dessert, and these were awesome too; one of the richer bread puddings I've had. Drinks were similarly excellent, both alcoholic and the coffee. Things were a bit simpler for breakfast/lunch. Menu seems to have changed since then but the mallorca egg sandwich and truffled califlower pizza were great, especially when paired with some local hot sauce (just ask). For lunch they share the kitchen with the pool bar so the menu is the same. The burger, reuben, fish tacos, shrimp bowl and chicken caesar were all solid. Again it's served in a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere, unlike the pool bar where they forget orders and then get pissed when you call them on it. They keep the bartenders the same between the casual/fancy meals, so would also recommend drinks here (killer mai thais but reall anything is good). This place almost single-handedly makes up for other shortcomings at the El San Juan. Very happy to see this be the Fairmont's first change to the hotel as it bodes well for the future. Special place for dinner, while being perfectly serviceable for breakfast lunch. Even if you're staying nearby, it's worth the trip.

Customer service amazing. I ordered the fish and it came with a delicious curry sauce! Sat outside by the pool. It was a relaxing and chill atmosphere.

Had a last minute breakfast here and the food was great, the patio overlooking the pool was peaceful, and our server was truly the best. The breakfast buffet is worth the money. My favorite part was the fresh juice and smoothie bar. Thank you for lovely experience.

Caña is yet another reason we love visiting Isla Verde - great restaurants. With knowledgeable, helpful suggestions and excellent service by Alex, we enjoyed returning here after almost two years, delayed by the COVID closures. While the menu is currently reduced as compared to our past visits, some favorites remain and new dishes have been added. The high quality and creativity remain. Several delicious vegetarian options are offered - three of which we wholeheartedly enjoyed; ENSALADA DE TOMATE, SANDIA Y AGUACATE: tomato, watermelon and avocado salad ÑAME: white yam, coconut milk braised shiitake mushrooms, pineapple "pique," celery leaves BERENJENA A LA PARILLAÁ: grilled eggplant, garlic & parsley picada, preserved lemon, cashews, spices, herbs Dishes are generously proportioned and intended for sharing. Our whole fresh broiled yellowtail snapper with a tomato-based sauce was moist, tasty and simply delicious. Caña is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. We look forward to returning.

I wasn't sure about the prices looking over the menu, but I ended up coming twice for breakfast and once for dinner during my stay because all food at a hotel is on the pricier side and it was still really good food + atmosphere. For breakfast, they have some a la cart options, but the breakfast buffet is only a little more (~$29) so worth it to just get the variety. We ended up coming early morning when they just opened, and we got to sit outside near the pool with a nice breeze and no one was in the pool yet making noise. For the food, they had an omlette station, bagels and lox, assorted pastries, a ton of fruit, and breakfast meats. It wasn't a huge spread, but it had a great variety of tasty items. Coffee was included and service was good.5/5 For dinner, we came back and had the ribeye steak, which was a nice large piece of meat cooked perfectly with shallots on top (which I didn't really need but may have added a little soaked in flavor) and the sauce wasn't as steak juicy as I was hoping. The sweet potato dish was great, an interesting combination of the sweet with cheesy that really worked. I just wished that the menu had more options, there were small, medium, and large dishes but not that much per category. You can also bill to the room if that's easier. I enjoyed all the meals and this was the most enjoyable place for me me in the hotel. I was between a 4 and 5 for a couple of issues but I rounded up. Worth a visit!

The food was really good at this restaurant. Smaller portions like a tapas restaurant which I absolutely love. They gave a glass of Cava or Prosecco on the house which was a nice touch. We shared: The beets, shrimp in garlic sauce, the buñuelos, crudo and the mofongo. We finished the night with a coconut creme brûlée. We loved every dish We would definitely dine here again. I had two glasses of wine and my fiancé had a cocktail. The bill wasn't too pricey which we thought would definitely be the case.

Went for breakfast/brunch. Buffet + endless cocktails was pricey, but worth it if you know that's what you're going for. Only downside is the "endless" is only for an hour, however the food, service, and ambiance is otherwise hard to beat.

Do the brunch, it's fantastic BUT they charge $$$ for ALL drinks without telling you - coffee, juice, etc.

Excellent service with pool view if sitting outside. Burger and mahi mahi nachos were very good.

Staff is awesome, very welcoming and attentive. The omelet station was good and the cook was very helpful, friendly and entertaining. But the food was not good, the have a small selection of fruits, breads, eggs, sausage, pancakes and breakfast potatoes, a small soup station and beverage are included for $40-45 per person.

This place is absolutely gorgeous! The ambiance is beautiful from the walk in through The Fairmont hotel until we finally found the restaurant. So many picturesque area and my friends and I absolutely took advantage. We did not make a reservation so we waited about 25-30 mins. It wasn't a long wait. The game was playing at the bar outside the restaurant and it was pretty nice. We were served and the waiter was a little snobbish. I'm not sure why, but we just continued our orders. 4 of my friends ordered the fish and I order the shrimp paella I believe. While we were having a conversation the waiter came back and his mood changed. He asked us if we were celebrating anything and we just said our girls trip from undergrad. He provided his a complimentary glass of cava. It was so thoughtful. Our meals were amazing!! We truly were not disappointed at all. The drinks were ok, nothing amazing, but definitely a big portion and you'll enjoy every bite! If I am back in the area for another trip I would definitely come back. I highly recommend!

The food was so fresh. Everything they make is made from scratch and gathered locally. Our waiter Alberto was a pure delight. The perfect kind of sassy waiter. His company was extremely enjoyable. The building is beautiful, pools surround the restaurant on the ocean. A band was playing great music. Over all worth the money.

This restaurant is part of a beautiful hotel and the atmosphere was great. The service was excessively slow. Some of the main plates were very small portions considering the price. The main course came before the appetizers. I would not come back here.

This restaurant is inside the el san juan hotel. I liked the decor. The service was very good. The food was always good. Had the breakfast buffet as was as the açaí bowl. The açaí was sooo good with fresh fruit and really good granola topped with fresh chocolate shavings! We also had a great lunch here, enjoyed the fish tacos and the tuna poké that was soooo good and fresh!

Arrived with nobody in the restaurant inside or outside without a reservation. I had requested to sit outside, but was told there was a rush coming and all tables will be full, so we had to sit inside. Our waitress greeted us and was truly amazing from the start. She was my favorite part of the entire experience. She was very attentive and helped guide us through the menu. The inside and outside both had a nice cool vibe. Music was just right. We started off with the Ensalada de Tomate, which was nice and refreshing, tomatoes and watermelon in a white vinaigrette with small pieces of avocado. We also had the Ñame, which were Yams, which seemed to be more Yucca, in a coconut milk. The flavor was good, but it was missing something to make it great! For mains we had the blue crab rice and prawns. I was disappointed. It seemed as this was a reheated left over from the night before. The rice was a little stale and the crab meat was lacking. We also had the mofongo with crispy pork. Pork was so dry it was hard to swallow, and the plantains were also dry. I feel like it needed some sort of sauce. The ambiance and waitress we had made this a 3 star review. Otherwise food was meh. I would recommend this if ur staying at the fairmont hotel and want to have a no hassle meal. Otherwise, not my cup of tea.

Great experience, great service! I had a salad and husband had tuna tartare and croquettes; everything was on point. Nice service, beautiful place and decent food and nice views. What else can you want on a January night ( balmy breeze and decent wine and small plates) and then go crazily in the casino! Loved it.

Enrique was amazing, super attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Great service from him. The food was delicious and the endless mimosas sooo good and strong ! Come here, you will not regret it.

OMG I had such a good time at this place! I had dinner here with my boyfriend. It is a beautiful setting. Right on the beach and inside of the hotel that we actually stayed at. I, of course, got the mofongo and he got this crunchy pork dish that was really good as well! If you're going to sit outside make sure you have mosquito repellent cause it's no joke! Lol! Other than that an awesome experience! Great staff and ambiance!!

Great place to sit and have a meal. We had dessert and coffee with friends while in PR. LOVED IT.

We lived nearby and want to have a brunch before we start to explore the island. The service here is bad the receiption desk lady is not patient and quite rude, but the table service is warm and welcomed. We waited almost one hour to have our food. The dish here looks great with multiple colors and plenty of ingredients. You can find a seamless blend with authentic PR food and some new and intresting flovors. It is inside a hotel so the price is expensive though.

Had the breakfast buffet. Eggs - bit runny and hash browns overcooked. Better to order off menu.
