    Visiting tonight on my birthday and it was amazing! Food was delicious, our server, Sasha was charming and delivered excellently and the ambiance was perfect for date night. We will absolutely come here again! Ten stars!

    Whoa. I didn't expect a lot from the food in PR at Dorado Beach but I should have. COA checks all the boxes with fabulous food - seafood that is off the chain good, excellent but not intrusive service, and a nice atmosphere. I could not have been happier with dinner here. Started with the butternut squash soup with coconut emulsion that was so good. The bread basket includes 3 types of breads and butters. You will want to eat it all but have to save room. We moved on to the king crab - perfectly cracked and flavorful w/their own house made sauces. It was the best crab I've had outside of Alaska and we live in Seattle where it's plentiful. Next we had the halibut with an amazing crust of hazelnuts and truffles. It may have been even better than the crab, but it was close. The fish came with a taro mash with truffle - and we didn't realize that so we also ordered the potatoes with Burrata and truffle. You can't have enough truffle. Finished with cappuccinos and molten cake. Really excellent experience all around. Don't miss it if you are in the area. I want to go back and try more on the menu. It was that good.

    Such an experience and what a view! We went to COA on our last night in PR and were sooo happy with the results. The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal! We got the taste of COA menu, marinated tofu, butternut cream, roasted pumpkin, broccolini, cauliflower, and the farm salad! They truly make the food into art and we loved every bit of it! They were very accommodating to my vegan boyfriend and I loved all the personal touches to the meal. They gave us a little snack at the beginning that was a truffle sandwich and we got a free dessert for my bf's graduation! Everything was so fresh and so filling. I'd definitely recommend the tasting menu so you can get a bit of everything. Trust me, you will be sooooo full. My dad couldn't even finish the last course (6 oz wagyu flat iron). My favorite part of it was the crudo at the beginning! It was so fresh and simple. I also really enjoyed the coconut desert. I felt like the roast pork raviolio fell a bit flat and was way too rich for me but everything else was nice!

    Nilda took great care of us this morning for breakfast. We ordered the French toast it was topped with berries it was a 7/10. Also ordered a omelette also was cooked nicely. I enjoyed the ginger & apricot hot tea was very tasty, and aromatic. The view is amazing 10/10 we chose to sit inside since it was a little stormy out.

    Breakfast was GREAT. Standard hotel fare, but not phoned in at all. LOVED the drinks, Benedict, pastry basket (you choose 3) and little touches. Try the powder sugar dusted "Mallorca" - the whole family loved it. Little touches included a homemade piquillo sauce, and divine homemade banana jam one day. The under-advertised, under-the-radar Puerto Rican traditional lunch was great too - lots of options, we split the pork (delicious with pickled onion), dirty rice and yuca mofungo. I think the seafood would have been delicious as well, in the afternoon when the focus is on traditional cuisine, not steak. To that point.... Dinner was alas a miss with MOST of us (explanation to follow). I gave three stars due to breakfast and lunch being 5, and dinner more like...2. Because, well, most of us ordered fish in a steakhouse so to be fair I am not rating the steak which well may be excellent. But we tried two different fish at COA dinner - one was super dry, and the other had ingredients that just didn't come together like truffle pecan crust (no need!). A simple grilled fish with lemon and herb would have been far more satisfying. The wahoo crudo was a little fishy - it's that kind of fish that carries more of a punchy flavor, and was nicely prepared, but be warned that it is not the kind of hamachi that is practically transparent and carries no fish flavor. Here's the kicker - our daughter ordered the steak offering from the kids menu and said it was her best meal of the trip. Soooo.... An enthusiastic YES for the breakfast and PR lunch, a no for a non-steak dinner. Felt fancy tho, which our girls liked! Also had the music going on the weekend, and people seemed to be having fun. I guess moral of the story is... In a steakhouse, have steak :)

    This is the nicest of the Dorado Ritz Reserve restaurants. It has a farm to table theme. The restaurant is beautiful and one of the more formal. Its the only one at the resort where you can't wear shorts or flip flops, however jeans are still allowed, so its still semi-casual. They have indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice if its too humid out. Our waitor was fabulous and very knowledgeable. He made some great recommendations. The menu was a bit limited, like most farm to table style places, but still had a good selection. We were excited for the special, which was a Trio Waygu Steak Tasting. We were able to try 3 different Wagyu steaks, one from Japan and two from Australia. Although it was expensive, we split it between three people and it was more than enough food. It was the most fabulous steak I've ever had. I've never tried Wagyu before, but this was worth every single penny. I'm in trouble now, because I am going to want this anytime it is on the menu. This is what dreams are made of! The experience here was first class. I highly recommend!

    New all-time favorite brunch restaurant! Coa offers the most bright and relaxed environment with outdoor and under-roof seating with a beautiful view overlooking the blue ocean. The servers were terrific and even accommodated our seating after my dad got hot under the sun. My family and I ate from their Mother's Day Brunch, and it was the best breakfast I have ever had. They set out a menu for us and their incredible Buffett offering; eggs your style, handmade sushi, mini pastries, crepe making station, a salad bar, and an entire set for mini gourmet desserts. I ate many minis from the buffet and ordered the Organic Açaí Bowl, made fresh from the kitchen. All the food was delicious; I couldn't stop eating!! My family ordered the Quiche and Eggs Benedict, which were also very tasty. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely mouthwatering breakfast/brunch.

    Raspberry/Mocha desert.

    Peter & Nestor were exceptional. Service, food & ambiance was immaculate. My boyfriend & I stayed at the Ritz over a five day period of time (August 4th-9th, 2023) & we loved every moment of it celebrating my birthday (August 16th)! Our servers were perfect, they made us feel welcome and everything about COA gave luxury. Thank you for your great service & our two servers. They deserve a promotion for their over the top hospitality. Thank you.

    With each sip, the meal was elevated as the wine complemented the Wagyu perfectly.

    The best food I had in PR! Sooooooo delicious and so much variety!…read more The staff were extremely friendly and even made a custom meal for my bf who is vegan. We even met the chef who was so kind! We got the yuca fries, bone marrow, fava bean tacos, oxtail cannelloni, duck, mahi mahi, black cod, vegan special, chocolate cake, and coconut sorbet! Everything was to die for except the bone marrow which had a super small portion size. The free bread was also amazing! Probably one of the top 3 free restaurant breads I've had. Will 1000000% be back next time I visit PR!

I liked the jovial yet professional service but the food is what made it great. Started with a tuna tartare daily special recommended by the waiter, it was great. Many layers of flavors and the tuna and avocado was fantastic. I then had the ribeye (the smaller one, at only 20 oz :-)) and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. For those who haven't seen my other reviews, I've been to hundreds of the best steakhouses, from NY to Chicago to Las Vegas to London, and while this wasn't a steakhouse it was fantastic. A nice think ribeye, perfect marbling but they also got the medium rare exactly as it should be, with an incredible char on the outside. I would fly back to Puerto Rico just to have this steak again. I also liked the crispy brussel sprouts and the asparagus were excellent, larger portion than you get elsewhere and nice thick asparagus. Finished with the I think 7 layer coconut cake, which I thought was the nicest dessert (split it with my wife's key lime pie, also good, and daughter's carrot cake donuts). Can't wait to go again.

Wonderful fried grouper and a good tater sauce. The masonry rice was a first and it is fantastic. I got the empanado en plantano, grouper breaded with plantain and served with rum and coconut sauce. The grouper by itself is delicious. So if you get this order the sauce on the side, it's cake frosting sweet, you only need a little layer, then this dish is amazing. You can eat the rest of the sauce like a dessert. We order a Terraza Sunrise to share, good thing case there is a stiff pour of rum and liquor, good to share or pour into a sprite!? Only issue is the Diet Coke was mixed wrong so we switched to sprite. It's an open air dining space that is covered, music from the bar/club next door is in the background. I order rice and beans for my side, very yummy and different from the masonary rice, they look nearly identical but they taste different.

Todo era un dolor de cabeza; incluso tuvimos que levantarnos varias veces de la mesa para solicitar cosas básicas. Si le pudiera dar menos de una estrella lo haría. Para comenzar, se ordenaron unas tiritas de pollo con arroz y habichuelas para los niños, las cuales tardaron aproximadamente una hora en llegar. Durante ese tiempo preguntamos en múltiples ocasiones por el estado de la comida y no recibimos respuestas claras. Luego pedimos aperitivos: 2 tuna tartar, 2 pulpos y 1 chorizo al vino. Estos tardaron alrededor de 1 hora y 45 minutos en llegar, algo totalmente inaceptable para platos relativamente sencillos. Además, trajeron dos platos que nunca fueron ordenados. La situación empeoró con los platos principales. Se ordenó un rib eye término medium rare y llegó "well done". El acompañante, un supuesto arroz mamposteao, era simplemente arroz con color y habichuelas, sin ninguna preparación adecuada. El chillo fresco llegó seco y frío. En otras palabras, no tenía sabor. Los dos mofongos (uno de camarones y otro de pollo) también llegaron completamente fríos. El risotto de langosta fue lo único aceptable, aunque el sabor no destacaba y la porción de langosta no llegaba ni a 6 oz. Las carnes fritas con tostones estaban completamente quemadas. Todo esto tardó más de una hora adicional, sin ninguna justificación, y aun así la comida llegó en malas condiciones. En ningún momento se nos informó sobre el retraso ni recibimos disculpas. Estábamos ubicados en el segundo piso y tuve que bajar personalmente a solicitar hablar con un gerente. La única excusa que nos dio fue que había mucho volumen de clientes y poco personal, lo cual no es cierto, ya que cuando llegamos solo había entre 3 y 4 mesas ocupadas; el restaurante estaba prácticamente vacío. Lamentablemente, la experiencia no mejoró con el segundo intento de los platos. El rib eye llegó en el término correcto, pero extremadamente duro, como si no hubiera sido preparado adecuadamente. El mofongo de la cumpleañera estaba duro y sin sabor, y el resto de los platos continuaban con los mismos problemas. Para colmo, en la mesa no había servilletas, los cubiertos eran escasos y, al final, nos entregaron cubiertos plásticos para comer churrasco. Es muy triste, porque el lugar es bonito, pero el servicio y la calidad de la comida no están a la altura en lo absoluto. Lo que se supone que fuera una celebración terminó siendo un completo fiasco. Da hasta coraje
