Talk about impeccable. These reviews are insane 3.8 stars for this restaurant is ridiculous. They have the best service the best people, the best food. Eugenio, Alexander, (I'm sorry I can't remember your name) manager was amazing. Best meal I've had in a long time. I've traveled the world and trust me this is a great place. Ps the gazpacho had me!!!!! read more

I haven't been here for about two years and wondered about the new chef. Everything was marvelous! The wonderful view of the ocean is the same. The space is large and comfortable. The chef's tasting menu was stellar. Each course was timed perfectly. Service was excellent. The wine pairings were ideal. Luis did a great job as sommelier. I continue to highly recommend 1919! read more

1919 Restaurant - New American Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Everything about 1919 - the ambiance, the service, the food - was 5 star and artfully executed. Had I known how much of a treat we were truly in for, I'd have skipped the (very small serving of) mfongo I just haaad to try (as soon as I arrived in PR) for Day 2. I didn't completely blow it but as such, we unfortunately bypassed the small bites and aperitifs and just ordered the grilled branzino and halibut confit. The branzino was quite flavorful, the skin being nice and crusty, making the halibut seem bland in comparison. The petit-fours were a nice top off to an already stellar birthday celebration. read more

We went for our anniversary and received impecable service, friendly, fast, knowledgeable and professional. The food was delicious and perfect. We had a small salad and the halibut. Every bite was a beautiful experience. A treat to our taste buds and our eyes. For dessert we received a chocolate mousse and an olive oil cake. Again, both were delicious and an amazing experience. I can only recommend 1919. We had a great time, great food and great service. Thank you to the amazing staff who made this evening a wonderful and memorable experience. read more

1919 Restaurant - Chocolate mousse - New American Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

There should be absolutely no reason why you should be at a restaurant for over two hours, unless you're having an amazing freaking time. Despite how amazing of a time I was having with my wife celebrating my 35th birthday with my wife and some friends in Marea Bar before our reservation, sitting down at 1919 this time (after an amazing experience four years ago) was anything but. In two whole hours, we were served two courses of a four course prefix, with the wine pairings coming 25 minutes before each course was served, there was a lot to be desired. Upon asking what was going on, we were told that the kitchen was backed up out, however, the restaurant wasn't even half full. After another 30 minutes waiting for our third course, beef for her and duck for myself, it finally arrived, and the duck was impossible to cut through while the beef was just above room temperature. Upon talking to the manager, Bryan, we were dismissed as if we were unimportant and were told thank you for stopping by. He smiled slyly as if he knew that this happens often. It's clear that this is not a one night problem, but that this is a regular problem at this restaurant. You can tell by the other reviews that it's not that the kitchen had a bad night --they're having a bad year. So if you're staying at the hotel, the hotel is lovely. But if you're planning on dining at the hotel-- don't do it. With family in the restaurant space (including Michelin star holders) we expected a certain level of service, that was totally unmet by the staff and the fare at 1919. read more

We traveled from Dallas to visit 1919, but we weren't impressed with the prefix menu options. Instead, we chose to order à la carte; however, we found that there were no side dishes available. To make matters worse, there was a very disruptive three-year-old child in the restaurant, which made our dining experience quite disappointing. read more

Best Restaurant hands down. Services was impeccable, food was immaculate, restaurants was gorgeous.

Our family of 8 had an incredible experience. Manager, Brian helped us when another restaurant we had a reservation at over 1.5 months was over booked and could not accommodate us. The day before he had multiple options for an intimate and visually stunning dinner experience. The swordfish ravioli, truffle gnocchi, and duck were perfect. Everything we ate was unique and perfectly prepared. The restaurant was not crowded and there was live music in the lounge area. This is the best fine dining experience in San Juan. Our waiter Alejandro did a great job with us as well! read more

1919 Restaurant - Espresso martini with Ron Barrilito - New American Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

We had been to this restaurant more than 7 times and it was our favorite when we visited PR. This time it was terrible. Food was just ok. We didn't order the 5 course chef tasting like we always do and the portions were still extremely small. We never had our glass of water refilled. We order a cocktail planning to order a bottle of wine with dinner. No one came to offer us another drink. So yes nothing to drink during the whole meal. No-one came to check on us during the whole entire dinner. We sat there waiting for someone to come to pay for the dinner So we left to go for dessert to another restaurant. read more

Wow. Awesome outdoor area to watch waves before and after dinner. Meal was extravagantly delicious, and service beyond attentive and informative. The place made is feel like royalty. Can't say enough about how enjoyable we found it. read more

We stayed in the Condado Vanderbilt, and this is definitely the nicest restaurant in the hotel (tasting menu only). Note that there is a dress code for gentlemen; no shorts. My boyfriend and I both did the four course tasting, along with a few rounds of cocktails. We tried: + Excelsior cocktail + Gold rush cocktail + Rosemary gimlet cocktail + El sonador cocktail + Tuna crudo + Lobster salad + Black truffle ricotta gnocchi + Gnocchetti with lamb ragu + Local dorado (mahi-mahi) + Local tuna + Tarta rocher + Chocolate Maracaibo ganache cake Cocktails were solid. I would rate the food as mostly excellent, but if you're used to NYC tasting menus, you're not going to be terribly impressed. Presentation was lovely and the dishes were certainly thought about - I was just expecting to be wowed, considering the high cost, but I landed at satisfied. Still, it's a great choice for a nicer/special meal. (For more inventive/elevated food in the area, head to Vianda or Paulina Escanes.) There was a bit of a wait between courses, but we were chilling and drinking, so it wasn't bad. Just prepare to be there for a few hours. Friendly service, too. read more

Unfortunately, the poor service took away from the dining experience. They have a number of servers assigned to specialized tasks, one for bread, a sommelier etc. We were only offered our original drink and never had even water refilled. Definitely not a five star experience. And they tried to charge for wine never even provided. read more

I started my Puerto Rico trip with fine dining at 1919 and it did not disappoint! Me and my partner did a 4-course dinner over 2 and a half hours as leisurely as I hoped the pace of Puerto Rico will be. The food for me was a solid 4.5/5 and I would say 3.5-4 / 5 for the drinks (Being a cocktail enthusiast, I was expecting the same level of finesse on the drinks too). The little surprises like the amuse bouche drink and dessert palate cleanser really wow'd me. FOOD: Before the first course we given an amuse bouche which was a Cucumber yogurty drink that was absolutely delicious. For the 1st course we did the Crudo Trio and Lobster Salad. The Crudo was alright (Tuna the best!) and the Lobster Salad was SPECTACULAR - definitely recommend this the most! For the 2nd course we did the Mushroom gnocchi and Pappardelle with truffle. Both these dishes were extremely flavorful and due to the small tasting portions, it made it possible to enjoy the rest of the courses as well - this is a concern I often have with pasta as it really fills me up leaving no space for more food. For the 3rd course (and this is when I start feeling full) we did the Cod and Lamb and both came with some preparation of Freekeh. This course was probably our least favorite. The Cod felt a little bland with a strong fishy essence - and I usually love all seafood. The lamb was tasty, but could have been more seasoned. The freekeh preparation for both dishes was my favorite in this course. I never had it before and absolutely loved it! 4th and final course was dessert. It started with a palate cleanser containing Lemongrass Panna Cotta and Sorbet - this was AMAZING! It was just what we needed after the previous 3 courses. As you can guess we barely had any place for dessert for bring it on. We did the Pear cake with mascarpone and Bread pudding with caramel. Both were good, but we preferred the bread pudding. DRINKS: For drinks, we got the Luchetti Colada - like a pina colada with a spicy touch - very tasty, but you need to like coladas in general. I do not like very sweet drinks, so went with a Lady Rosemary - Gin based martini sour type drink - it sounded more promising than it tasted. The lemon was too much for me - too sour. I ended with a Honeysuckle - the server's recommendation and I definitely liked this drink the most. All in all, if you are on vacation and don't mind lightening your wallet for a fine dining experience with GREAT SERVICE, smiling faces, this place is definitely for you. They even gave us a packaged banana bread on our way out!! If you are looking for value for money, this may not be the right spot. Cheers! :) read more

When the chef has travelled around the world running Michelins especially from San Sebastian Spain to New York and San Francisco, you know you are in for a treat. Did not dine in the big fancy dining room due to attire issue. Your 14 year old teen has been living in shorts since he was 5 and skiing in shorts in Niseko, Japan, why would that change? Thankfully there are other ways to seat us which is in a separate area outside of the main dining hall but in a quiet private bar room. It was actually perfect because this section of the room was much quieter and nicer. We had the 4 course tasting which was a bargain price at $109 per person. True to a Michelin experience, there was the amuse bouche, palette cleanser, desserts that came after the desserts, and oh, the final surprise, super moist banana nut bread in a beautiful box to take home. On top of that, because I had two kids, they gave me three loafs. One for each of the kid and one for the adults. The meal reminded me of the last Michelin meal we had in Vienna, it felt European than American for some reason. Kids loved the meal. Tuna tartare and Beef were the kids favorite. Thought it was well prepared and not too dense. The best part was the desserts. They thoroughly loved every bite. Valet parking was paid by the restaurant. Not too shabby. Skip the endless lines and prepaid tickets to get into SF, Sonama and Napa Michelins. Not worth it. Travel to other places where a much better meal can be had for a lot less hassle. read more

High class ambience and view but the food was not worth it. Everyone is pleasant with assisting you and taking your orders. Temperature checks are done at the door. There are also hand sanitizer stations around. Meal courses are taken down ahead of time but it took so long in between each course. It made no sense knowing those orders were in from beginning. Too much time lag in my opinion. Out of everything that was served, I can only say I enjoyed the champagne and the wild shrimp. It was small but flavorful. Everything else we ate was either too bland, too salty, or too small. I love salmon but I was not impressed by the king salmon dinner, at all. I don't mind paying extra to eat. But usually the price one pays equate to something of great value yet this was not the case here. Save that money for something else. read more

Life is short and my one piece of advice is to go to 1919. Take yourself to another planet with the chefs menu. Thank you to the entire staff and team at 1919. The experience was otherworldly. From the moment we arrived we were immediately seated at a beautiful table by the wine cellar. We were instantly greeted, and given options of menus and wine parinings; All of which were described in detail. We opted for the most extravagant life experience of the chefs menu, with wine pairing for my husband and mock tail pairing for myself. A moktail menu that was explained to us as a drink that will mimic the taste of some of the wines your partner will experience- it felt like a together journey. I've had a very difficult time in the past finding restaurants that understand the importance of mocktails (for pregnancies or otherwise). This really made us feel at home that 1919 just "got it" and this theme was carried out time and time again. Each dish, wine, mocktail was delivered in uniform fashion, with a detailed explanation and by the entire team of staff. The chefs menu was loosely described as 10 courses but between the added bonuses and palette cleanses it could have easily been 13/14. Needless to say we left extremely full but in awe. A few of our "cannot live without" Branzino and mushrooms Carne asada (I think?) dish Truffle homemade linguine Salmon and mussel dish in vegetable broth It was all truly indescribable. We will never ever forget one of the most memorable nights of our lives with some of the best people and service we've ever met. This experience is expensive. Let me make that very clear. I would never question the cost per the service that was delivered. Thank you again to the chef and the sous chef (who did greet us) and the entire team. Special shout out to Josè Carlos, Jonalie and Jorge for an unforgettable night. We cannot wait to indulge in the take home banana bread!! Love to you all read more

Simply exquisite four (4) course fine dinning. The location was warmth and well ambient. Hospitable hosts with knowledgeable and courteous staff. This is the place to wander and be amazed. The experience was a journey shared with family members and it was a night to remember. My soup, croquetas, the veal and the pudding were simply delicious. My wife and relatives were all delighted. Congratulations to the Chef ‍ !!!!! Tip: valet parking is free with validated ticket. read more

My sisters and I wanted a nice Christmas Dinner where none of us had to cook. By the time we found 1919, Christmas Dinner was sold out, so we decided to have our Christmas on the 26th, which was an excellent alternative for us. We were delighted with our experience from start to finish. Yuyi pointed us in the right direction for a bottle of wine we all enjoyed. We all have different tastes in wine, so this wasn't an easy feat. William offered an exquisite description of the options available for our prix fixe menu. We all ordered different items for each course, and the chef executed each dish perfectly. We appreciated the attention to detail from Jorge when it came to serving our meals and ensuring we always had anything we needed. We stayed for a couple of after-dinner drinks, which were also incredible. I highly recommend dinner service at 1919. Next time I'm in town, I'll be making reservations. read more

Okay I LOVED this place and i ALWAYS give 5 stars on Yelp... but the reason it's 4 star is because I was a bit surprised at the total price. It's a beautiful location in San Juan's first luxury hotel, the Vanderbilt. It's $130ish per person for the prix fixe. That sounded reasonable. We got a $125 bottle of wine. Then the total was $700 because there was 11% sales tax and 25% tip included. Besides that, food was good and the flavors were great. The fish was very fresh. It just felt more like a $500-600 meal than a $700 meal. Service was best we've ever had in San Juan (shout out to William!!). He was SO nice and always present and he was so well educated about the dishes. Oh and the dessert wasn't too impressive. Not sure if they have a separate pastry chef. If they did, they didn't say so on the menu read more

This bar is tucked away inside the Condado Vanderbilt, which may just be the most beautiful aesthetic hotel in the world. With its marble floors, winding staircases, chandeliers and arched hallways, this hotel is like a dream. Stop by for a drink at the hotel and you will not be disappointed. While the drinks are a little on the pricey side, they are worth it. The spiced rum old fashioned is a must! They smoke a cinnamon stick into the drink which gives it the perfect smokey smooth taste. read more

I thought 1919 was an okay restaurant; I probably wouldn't go back. Overall service/ambiance was top notch and the cocktails were also good. With that said, the food itself was just alright and there are better steak options in San Juan. For higher end options, I think that Cocina Abierta or Marmalade are superior. read more

For two people we spent $700 including tip. This restaurant is not worth that much money. For $700 you can get a 3-Michelin star restaurant. While the service was top-tier, the food was not and ultimately, were there for the food. This review isn't coming from a random guy. I love food. I love fine dining. I've been to many of the most amazing restaurants in Latin America including Central (Lima), Maido (Lima), Pujol (CDMX), and El Cielo (Medellin). In the US I've been to countless including some of the best like French Laundry and Atelier Cremn. 1919 fell far below all of my expectations by a long shot. For a restaurant that prides itself on being one of the best in San Juan I would have expected culinary excellence. Unfortunately, not only was the food sub par but their options for vegetarians was an abomination. Here what I ordered and how I would rate each out of 10: Prime Beef Tenderloin Tartare - 8/10 Lobster Soup - 7.5/10 Colorado Lamb Duo - 2/10 (I actually sent it back due to the lack of flavor and overall flatness of the dish) Black Forest - 4/10 My girlfriend ordered dishes that were all pretty low in flavor and creativity from the arugula and little gem salad to the cabbage steak that was the only option for vegetarians. However, I will say she got the rigatoni and that was a damn good pasta course 8.5/10. Anyways, please be mindful of the price and type of establishment before booking. Absolutely not worth it in my opinion. read more

Unquestionably, this is a "fine dining" establishment that has its act together. However, with NYC/Nantucket/Boston/Charleston/Berlin "goggles" on (as a barometer of "fine dining" quality), I am not sure the experience "wows" at the price point. None of the dishes in the four course tasting menu disappointed, but several (my tuna entree comes to mind) were merely good, not exceptional. The one thing that is exceptional is the attentive, very professional service. Decor, while again upscale, is stuck in time, reminiscent of 1980/90s steakhouses. Net, net: for the price of a 1-2 star Michelin meal, I expected more. We left satisfied, but not impressed. read more

1919 is an absolutely impeccable dining experience! Puerto Rico has so many fantastic dining options but this is by far my favorite! The service is beyond attentive and next level and each course of this five course tasting menu was sheer perfection! The ambiance is beautiful and every aspect of this restaurant is top notch!! I highly recommend!! read more

The food was great, drinks were overpriced, service was fantastic- everything you expect from a fine dining experience. What irked me was two things: 1. I asked for a table for 4 that I saw was empty near the window overlooking the water but they said no- it was reserved for another party. I'm thinking - well the other party is not here yet and we are here first but whatever. (Low and behold, that table was empty for the entirety of the 3 hours that we were there). and 2. they overcharged us- adding in supplement/surcharges for menu items that do not indicate a surcharge on the menu! I ordered duck breast for my third course and as pictures show- there is no surcharge on the menu but it is on my receipt. ***Check your receipts carefully before you pay!!!*** Like I said, service is good but slow. It took 3 hours from start to finish and there was so much time between courses. They will give you unlimited bread rolls (one by one) if they see your bread dish is empty. They also gave us a complimentary loaf of banana bread at the end as we were walking out to take home and that was a very nice gesture. ***Free valet if you dine here. 1. grain salad - fresh beet and pinch of goat cheese over a bed of grains and quinoa that pop on your mouth- it was interesting and good 2. soft shell - this was ok. it was fried nicely to a good texture but otherwise tasted bland to me. my friend got the parmentier-truffle soup that was so good- I recommend the soup. 3. roasted duck- this was really good. not too gamey over a bed of what appeared to be lo mein with rice noodles 4. chocolate texture - so good! comes with banana ice cream that I thought was fantastic. we all got each of the different. dessert offerings and they were all really good. read more

All very good but it did not live up to my expectations. Good service, well trained staff, good quality food and an interesting selection across the four course menu. But for the price and reputation it left me wanting more. At no time during the meal did anyone in our group of four say anything like - wow, OMG, you must taste this. So in summary I would say it is a good but overrated experience - sorry. read more

Located just off the lobby of Condado Vanderbilt Hotel, 1919 may just be Puerto Rico's most luxurious Restaurant, Chef Juan José Cuevas bringing his Michelin starred resume to a menu that features contemporary continental Cuisine built from locally-sourced Ingredients. Known for seaside views and posh fabrics, plus the sort of service that calls guests by name or professional title rather than "Sir" or "Ma'am," it was at precisely 6:30pm that a table for two was arranged room's length from windows, a slight apologized for in advance and attributed to every seat otherwise taken by Vanderbilt Hotel guests. Prone to seasonal change across a four-course Prix Fixe, $89 plus Supplements a fine deal for complex plates and large portions, it was with a $30 glass of Taittinger Rose that dinner got started, an Amuse of cooling Gazpacho quickly followed by complimentary housemade Rolls and creamy bites of fried Baccala that cost about $3.50 each. Relaxed in terms of pacing, twenty-to-thirty minute intervals between plates filled by conversation, course one consisted of dueling Salads, her Lobster with Pasta and briny Vinaigrette enjoyable but entirely outclassed by Squash, Fruit, Cheese and Pickles brightened by Thai seasonings across a multitude of textures. Suggesting "Smart casual" dress, though jeans and short sleeves are not out-of-place, course two consisted of lightly cooked Shrimp and "Grits" versus Soup poured tableside, Truffle-scented Cheese and Potatoes forming a velvety Potage that led nicely to meaty Entrees of grilled Pork with Vegetables and pan-seared Duck atop Rice Noodles. Undoubtedly a meticulous kitchen, plating reliably photogenic from beginning to end, dinner concluded with Mignardises and Dessert, waiter-recommended "Guava and Lemon" akin to Clafoutis with textural Pineapples while Coconut Rice Pudding found brightness in exotic Fruits. read more

My boyfriend and I had our last vacation dinner at 1919. The entire experience was intimate, romantic, and magical. 1919 is located at the Vanderbilt Condado. They do have a dress code at the restaurant so dress accordingly! The entire back window of the restaurant is a view of the ocean. We tried for a table by the view, but only parties of +4 could sit there. We sat by the right of the restaurant, and still could enjoy the view. How it works: 1919 serves a 4 course dinner priced at $95 per person. The website still says $85. Some plates have a surcharge of $10. They also charge for water so don't be surprised when you see a $7 per person add on to your bill. Gratuity of 20% will automatically be included with your bill. With 2 prefixed dinners, 2 cocktails, water, gratuity, and a surcharge of plates our bill was $300. The 1919 experience! They work as a team at 1919, so expect many faces stopping by. A drink specialist will approach your table to start you off. Unsure of what wine you want? A sommelier will be dedicated at your service to make sure you are completely happy with your drink choice! Afterwards you are presented with the menu and given ample time to pick your perfect plates combination. Our server let us pick 2 plates from the second course's list since nothing stood out to us from the first course. Once drinks and plates are selected, a runner will bring out these 2 cucumber shots to clean your palate. If you're wondering about bread and butter prior to your meal, the answer is yesssssssss. Warm Rosemary bread is served throughout dinner! They never stop coming back with more bread :) Course 1: I started with the truffle soup. It was so creamy, rich, and delicious! This was probably my favorite dish. I read other reviews on Yelp saying that it was quite lovely and I was not disappointed. Course 2: My second plate was the ravioli dish. To be honest, I thought this dish was ordinary and nothing about it stood out to me. Course 3: My third plate was the New York strip. It was an additional $10. Great dish. Very similar to what you would have at other fine steakhouses. Course 4: For dessert, I first ordered the Arroz Coco and was not a fan. It was chalky and almost tasted what I imagined playdough to be like. They let me exchange it to the chocolate texture and it was amazing!!!! Overall, I would highly recommend 1919 to anyone looking for fine dining in San Juan. I was quite pleased with the posh ambiance, classy service and the attention they had to our table. At the end, our server presented us with a parting gift- homemade banana bread! One last note. Prior to going, I read that dinners took like 4 hours. Our reservation was at 6pm and we were out by 8pm! It was super fast for us. read more

An amazing dining experience! Totally agree with the positive reviews. Prior to making a reservation, I checked out the plus and minus reviews. Our experience was worth the $$$$. We ordered strategically to maximize what we were able to try. I will agree that a few dishes were over seasoned. However, the overall experience was awesome. The fresh ingredients and presentation were worthy of a star. The blue fin crudo was spectacular. I could go on about each course. Add that Executive Chef Juan José Cuevas raised funds for restaurant staff and you should go just to support his ethics. Luis the sommelier made our night! He has some bad press.... Sorry you are wrong! He is incredible. Purchased wine and did the pairing. Absolutely brilliant. He spent plenty of time in the cellar selecting a bottle and at the table discussing wine and matching glasses to pair perfectly with each course. Bravo! read more

I went here for my birthday yesterday and everything was perfect. The food was very refreshing and filling, the wine pairings were spot on, and our waiters were very helpful and attentive. This place is pretty expensive but they definitely make sure it's worth the money. The chef served a palette opener that was very light and refreshing. The lobster salad was very good. I'm a big fan of cheese and the cheese that was paired with this lobster was more than magnificent along with the tomato vinaigrette. The seafood Gnochetti was flavorful and filling. The halibut and rice were a beautiful creamy texture. And the paletella was a very nice closing to all of this. I've never had this desert before but I would recommend trying it. They also gave me an extra dessert to celebrate my birthday. This was a mousse cake with raspberry filling topped with fresh strawberries. The raspberry filling perfectly offset the dark chocolate mousse. We also enjoyed champagne or wine with each dish and the waiters continuously came around with bread so you're almost guaranteed to leave with a super full and satisfied belly. On our way out, our waiters also gifted us some zucchini bread which was still moist the next morning. I would highly recommend coming here for a special occasion. They really know how to treat their customers well. read more

My husband and I had our one year wedding anniversary dinner at 1919 and had an amazing time! Located in the Condado Vanderbilt, it's a beautiful restaurant with very romantic decor. We opted for the Chef's Dinner which was an eleven course meal with wine pairings! Each course was a surprise which was super fun. We just told the waiter any dietary restrictions we had and they took it from there! A few different waiters were helping us and they were very kind, knowledgeable and professional. They explained each course and the wine pairing which was very helpful. Our favorite courses were the risotto and the tuna steak. The dessert was also extremely delicious. As if we didn't have enough food, they even sent us home with delicious banana bread which was so nice! The Vanderbilt had a live musician in their lobby after we were finished so it was fun to check that out afterwards. Overall the dinner was fairly pricey (over $600) but it was worth it to splurge for our anniversary! read more

Honestly, I expected a bit more for the price. Some of our meals were excellent while others were a bit lacking in flavor. Portions were very small, as expected. Went out of my way to buy a COVID test prior to visiting, as it was "mandatory" as per the reservation booking. They never asked for it, which was a waste of time and money. There were four of us and dinner took nearly 4 hours. Nearly $900 with tip. read more
