I saw several videos about Christianson's prior to going to the PR. Our waiter was amazing and knowledgeable of the menu. He was attentive to our request. The food was delicious. I got the Guava Strawberry French toast. The front of the restaurant is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The issues were the environment. The restaurant was not very clean. The restroom was dirty. There was not a lot of lighting in the area they sat us in. Overall, I would try again if the made the necessary adjustments.

French Toast Combos

Wouldn't recommend (brunch). Came in for brunch, they don't do reservation unless party of 6 or more, so we came around 12pm and quoted about 45-minute wait but were able to get us a table in 15 minutes. The restaurant is quite sectioned off, when you walk in, they have rooms that go all the way to the back of the restaurant. They had an array of music that was playing, wasn't too loud, lots of tables for larger parties. This was definitely one of the more upbeat brunch restaurants. For their mimosas, they advertise the $35pp but do not advertise the time limit and the restriction for its distribution if not everyone at the table is doing bottomless. The champagne/carafes are not brought if only one person orders which isn't really the issue but the issues lies in the fact that you are only getting your refills at the servers/food runner's discretion and especially in only a one-hour time limit (which bottomless usually runs for 1.5-2 hours). That was definitely the case when we went, I only received 3 refills because our server was very busy and could not tend to get the refills in a timely manner; seemed like a waste in my opinion Either increase the time limit or bring a self-dispensing system to the table; those are the solutions. For the food, we order French Toast Combos and the Good Morning Burrito. The French toasts were very soft & fluffy, rich taste with every bite, no notes, perfect. Came with crispy bacon and soft-medium scrambled eggs (Rating: 8.9/10). For the Good Morning Burrito, I was unaware that it came with guacamole, which I don't really prefer, but it came in chunk so was able to be easily removed. Besides that, I got the burrito with bacon, and it was absolutely amazing. Fries on the side were hot and crispy (Rating: 9.0/10). Pricing also was not bad as well for the food. All in all, the only good part about this restaurant was the food, no complaints with the food but the service wasn't too timely. I don't also appreciate the server putting 18% down for himself on the handheld pay kiosk, seen it happen and it didn't register in my head until after the payment went through due to me thinking it was an automatic gratuity type of situation when it was not. That really should earn this place a 1-star because if I wasn't in a good mood, that would definitely be a grievance I would bring up in that moment. Overall, I would not come back; we really came because we thought they were one of the few places with bottomless mimosas but now looking at how they conduct that, it is not worth it at all.

puerto rican breakfast

Came here one morning with my friends and we had high expectations because of the rating, but our experience did not reflect the good reviews. First of all, the service was meh.. The servers kind of seemed like they had better things to do rather than serve us. At one point we asked someone for extra plates for sharing and he said he would get some, but then we saw him come back two or three times to help other tables without our plates and we had to ask someone else. The flavors of the food were all over the place. We wanted to try the Dominican breakfast but they were out, so we got the Puerto Rican breakfast which came with rice, tater tots, eggs, toast, and spam. The spam was EXTREMELY salty - spam is already quite salty as it is but this spam tasted like they added extra salt. The eggs were super bland. We also got the cinnamon roll pancakes which were extremely sweet, but I'll give that one a pass since it kind of implies that in the name. Maybe we just went on an off day, but my friends and I were quite disappointed with our experience here.

The vibe of the entrance was beautiful! The server was kind and very attentive. The food was good, eggs were a little overcooked but the French toast was delicious. I would've liked for the restaurant to be cleaner.

I went in for breakfast this morning. Upon arrival I was sat at a high top in the front portion of the restaurant. The music was playing super loud but I was by myself so I guess I had noone to talk to otherwise it might have been too much. I initially ordered the passion fruit juice and was super excited about it but informed they did not have it. I got the orange juice instead. I then had the French toast combo that came with eggs and sausage. You could have chosen bacon or ham instead. The food was good. The server was attentive but confused the heck out of me into paying cash because of some way they get paid and he adds checks together. I still don't know what he was explaining but I paid with cash instead of my card that I already had out and ready.

Strawberry guava cream cheese filled French toast
Kerri C.

If you're seeking an amazing brunch, go to Christianson and choose one of their French toast options. Just wow. I got the strawberry and guava cream cheese filled one, and completely failed at finishing it though it was amazing. Probably because I also wanted something savory and got chicken empanadas. I also highly recommend those! My boyfriend also really liked his chicken and waffles. You won't be disappointed starting your day off here!

Guava and strawberry French toast with chicken strips  Dominican breakfast

The food itself is very good, I wouldn't say it's really Puerto Rican food as it's mostly catered towards tourists. The service is quick but not overly friendly, just a get in get out type environment. The French toast is very good however

Domincan breakfast
Sila R.

Wow, wow, WOW! Everything was amazing--and absolutely delicious. I was there for four days and ended up going twice because I couldn't get enough. The first visit, I had the breakfast burrito... perfection. The second time, I tried the Dominican breakfast--OMG! The portions alone could feed three people. Both times, I ordered a latte and a strawberry margarita, and they were just as great as the food. The music was a vibe, and the staff really made the experience unforgettable--friendly, attentive, and super engaging. They were dancing, singing, even doing little tricks--it felt like dinner and a show! The place itself is adorable and perfect for pictures. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting--you won't regret it! My friends had Avacado toast, PR breakfast. and French toast. Never disappointed!

Superstar with Cinnamon Roll French Toast
Erica A.

The Verdict: Delicious Food, Distracted Service Here is the quick breakdown of my experience: * Pros: The food was amazing and incredibly satisfying. You'll definitely leave full. The interior vibe is also really cool. * Cons: The music is way too loud for conversation, and the service is very slow. The staff spent more time on their phones than helping customers. Bottom Line: Come for the food, but expect a long wait and subpar service.

We went here again this morning since our other morning breakfast was good. We got here 5 minutes after they opened at 8am Tuesday morning. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito and they were out of the wraps. He got the American with sausage. I ordered French toast. They were out of ALL French toast and offered pancakes ! I ordered the American with ham. My husband asked for hot sauce - guess what? They were out of that too!! Our bread/ toast had a funny / odd taste today. Different than the other day. I wonder if they ran out of butter and used something else ? Horrible experience and how can a breakfast place open up without certain staples ? Stop at the grocery store before you open.

A popular, trendy brunch spot that absolutely lives up to the hype. We arrived when it was just a tad busy but were still seated fairly quickly, which was a great start. The music was bumping, the vibes were vibing, and the atmosphere felt fun and energetic without being overwhelming. The staff were great--friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. The food and drinks were delicious, and the menu has so many good options I honestly wish I had a bigger appetite to try them all. I started with an espresso martini and loved that they used real espresso (the only way to drink it). For an appetizer, I ordered the chicken empanada, which had great flavor and a nice little kick. For my entrée, I ordered the guava strawberry cheesecake French toast with a side of eggs and turkey--soooo good. So good. I ate every single bite. I finished with their hibiscus magic tea, which was refreshing and delicious. This is exactly the kind of place you want to be at for brunch in San Juan. Highly recommend.

Allison C.

Came here for breakfast because we had heard great things about their French toast. Lots of variety on the menu, but we ultimately decided on the French toast combo because we wanted a little protein before our pool day. The French toast was so thick and very tasty. I loved the whipped cream on top. The yogurt bowl was good. The scrambled eggs left us disappointed though. They tasted like they were egg beaters or pre-made because they were kind of rubbery. Otherwise, it was a super filling breakfast.

Steve M.

Food: the food is amazing. The eggs, waffles, chicken, Dominican breakfast, eggs, and the fruits everything is so fresh and delicious. Service: my goodness the service was epic and personal. Our waiter Jesus is nothing short of amazing. The energy, attention, and personality he brings to our table is natural. He continuously engaged with use and provided his honesty in our ordering. Jesus is highly recommended when you come to this place. Ambiance: the entire place is decor for the holiday season, clean, spacious, and provide a safe space for friends or date night. Overall score 4.9/5.0

The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, and the service was excellent from beginning to end,from the hostess to the servers and bussers. Our server, Jeffery, was amazing! He was energetic, professional, attentive, and you can genuinely tell he takes his position seriously. I loved that! We were greeted with complimentary sopa de plátano and bacalaítos, and I was NOT expecting to love them as much as I did. This was by far the best sopa de plátano I've ever had. I never thought I could fall in love with a soup, but here we are! (I ordered a whole extra regular size bowl )The bacalaítos were another surprise because they're normally not something I order or even particularly like--and I've tried quite a few in my life--but these were absolutely delicious. My S/O and I shared the churrasco with arroz mamposteao, along with a side of avocado salad and majado de viandas. Everything was a straight 10/10. Not one disappointment on the table. They also make an amazing Rojo Pico, which was the perfect addition to the experience. 100% recommend Casita Miramar. Don't overthink JUST GO! Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, and most importantly, genuinely delicious, quality Puerto Rican food. This place absolutely deserves the hype and its spot in my top two!

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.

Highest culinary quality meal of our visit to Puerto Rico in a lowkey atmosphere. 4.75 stars…read more Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: no but Resy Return worthiness: yes Eve award: best shrimp toast Highlights: - Fried chicken: so perfect crispy outside without being greasy and tender and juicy inside which is any fried chicken dream state. Warning: sauce was insanely spicy even trying a dab though. 5 stars - Shrimp toast: perfection. Crispy exterior on top and bits of shrimp naturally fused together. So SO good. 5 stars - Chocolate cake with mousse and ice cream w peanuts. 4.5 stars - Steak: top quality meat. 4.25 stars - Chorizo croquettes crispy balls of goodness packed with flavors. 4.25 stars - Snitzel: well cooked. 4 stars - Waitress: Natalia was excellent. Was willing to put sauces on the side for my son. Bonus for her warning us about spicy habanero sauce on chicken to get it on the side even for the adults. - Stellar cocktails: coconut water ice cube in one was delightful - Wine wonderful quality and unique versions by the glass - Atmosphere: dining room simple and clean approachable with art on the walls Midlights: - Pork belly: significant portions with several slices and a crispy skin layer, but was hoping for more Thai peanut sauce action. 3.25 stars - Mofongo: flavors were fine but was expecting more prominent meat and mofongo separation. Appreciated the greens to cut the richness. 3 stars Lowlights: - Curious with the sauce with the chicken being known to be insanely hot why they might not mellow it out a bit or serve it naturally on the side

If you're staying in Condado, I'd probably just grab an Uber rather than make the walk. The service was exceptional from start to finish, and reservations are definitely recommended. This was honestly one of the calmest, most relaxing restaurant experiences I've had in a very long time. Because of that, I probably wouldn't bring kids unless they're exceptionally well behaved. It's just not that kind of restaurant, and I'd hate to be the one disrupting the atmosphere everyone else came to enjoy. The clarified espresso martini was as visually intriguing (it's completely clear) as it was delicious and smooth. The fried chicken and pork belly were both outstanding, and I'd happily order either one again. Overall, if you're looking to splurge on one memorable meal in San Juan, Vianda would be high on my list.

You get the real deal, real Puerto Rican dishes, with the greatest flavors and fair prices. Unless you prefer playing overpriced, find dining restaurants with average Puerto Rican food, which there are plenty of in the area. I'm not able to emphasize how small this restaurant is, it's located right along the main walking strip in Coronado Beach. Maybe 10 tables or so. No reservations walk up wait in line if you have to eat and leave. Not only will you eat the best tasting food during your trip, but probably also pay the least amount of money. We went here twice!
