There is a main central area with tables and then pockets of enclaves along both sides. We were seated in one of those enclaves that had four tables for four and unfortunately a large round table in the center. I don't think it was because I'm getting old. I know I get easily annoyed by bad acoustics but this was another level of noise. There was a group of women celebrating a bride for her bachelorette. She made sure we all knew how special she was by screaming and screeching to get her friends' attention the entire night. A couple who were seated after us immediately moved. Yes we had a chance to do the same but we decided to stick it through because we thought they were almost done. Well they stayed until we were at our dessert course. So why 5 stars?? Because the service (and attention and acknowledgement) and the food were outstanding. Easily the best choice to celebrate our friend's birthday. Everything was delicious but what the chef does with white beans was especially incredible! Ending with the passion fruit trilogy was perfection!

Its a fine dining restaurant so the restaurant is really upscale but they also made the restaurant a bit cozy at the same time. The service was amazing as well. Im sorry I forgot his name but he paid really good attention and constantly checked on us especially for my allergies. The food was some of the most delicious food ive ever tasted, especially the risotto (10/10). There was one dish that my girlfriend didnt like but they went immediately to get her something new. Im only giving a 4 star because the dessert i had did have something I was allergic to despite reassurance which cause swollen lips and throwing up outside. Im not sure if the dessert was pre-made but having the allergens directly on the menu may help. Otherwise I completely recommend trying here.

He was very nice, but not very attentive. Would definitely come again for the food and their amazing drinks.

You have to try her soups... out of this world! We had a sweet corn chowder that was a wonderful exploration of the freshest vegetables in San Juan. Her french tapas have the Spanish and Puertorrican influence of chorizo, and she serves The Best croquetas and pastelillos (turnovers), absolutely tasty and very local. Her restaurant is clean and spacious, for now as she is a very well-kept secret. She is trained in NY, and her stature shows in her dishes and she is as sweet as her desserts, of which you have to try her rendition of apple pie (instead of apple she uses mango) and her guava crumble, mmmmm. She has a small list of wines that are priced cheaper than if you had bought them yourselves, yet really excellent wine taste, both whites and reds. Although in Guaynabo, this place is only a 15 min Uber from all hotels in Condado and the ride is true Puerto Rico. Well worth it, and a wonderful experience! Amazing!!
