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.

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!!

The food was so good that we went twice to try additional dishes, and to get one more chance to eat their astounding french fries. I would suggest, regardless of whether the are appropriate to your meal, that you order at least one order because they are that good. The food was great. We had the salad, the soup special (which was a beautiful, flavorful, potato leak), the steak frittes (enjoyed slightly more without the peppercorn sauce), the special trout (if there is a trout special, just order it), the salmon (one of the best things I have eaten in five years), and the chocolate cake. I would gladly eat each one again, and pare it with the small but excellently curated wine list. The service was amazing, and we enjoyed talking to our servers and learning about the restaurant, the neighborhood, and San Juan. We can't wait to go back.
