Took forever to get our entrees, everything else came out way too fast, guessing nuked, very expensive. My entree was nothing that the menu described, I asked if it was what I actually ordered and she said yes, canned sliced green olives were in my pasta which made the whole thing taste like that and incredibly salty. So I left starving. $400 later. We had 2 apps, 2 bottles of wine and 3 entrees. Won't go back, I am happy to pay that for decent ambiance and better food. Highly disappointed as it was recommended and we drove 40 minutes.

They've only taken over for two months so disregard any reviews from before then! We were walked through the ingredients of the items on the menu and given spot on recommendations. We had the Thai cucumber salad, pork mango tacos, cheese balls, Thai chicken wings, and brownie dessert. Let me tell you, I FOODGASMED. The pork tacos stole the show. Succulent pulled pork, house sauce, fresh cilantro, chopped mango, pickled onion, and a super soft warm tortilla to wrap up all the goodness. Spoiler alert: we ordered another round. The Thai cucumber salad was zesty, saucy, added spice for heat. It was refreshing unami flavor, and perfectly simple yet always pulled us back in. Umami means "essence of deliciousness" in Japanese and that's what this salad was. Spoiler alert: we ordered another round! The Thai wings, were fireeeee. We ordered this in the second round of appetizers, and they were perfect. The skin was super crispy and fried in a light way, the chicken was juicy, the Thai sauce was perfectly balanced and slathered. Best wings I've had. If you've ever been to Chubby Noodle in San Francisco, they are almost identical. The cheese balls were cheddar, crispy on the outside and gooey center. Yum. The dessert, which I did not need and was stuffed by the time I ordered it, was delicious. A brownie, ice cream, whipped cream combo. All housemade of course, the brownie was more of a Blondie, in that it wasn't overly sweet, the vanilla ice cream was shaved ice style, and the whole thing was topped with fresh crushed peanuts. We loved the appetizers so much that we didn't move on to the main entrees that looked incredible. All farm to table, perfectly balanced. Ambiance note: the music is good vibes and the lighting is soft for those selfies Bartender is a wizard with cocktails, can make anything... you know it's going to be craft when he has jalapeño simple syrup. RUN don't walk here. They've only been open for two months and will THRIVE as a top rated bar and restaurant mark my words.

Singular was the first place my friends and I tried during our trip to PR…read more I'm not sure if it's called Singular because there is only one person serving as the waiter, bartender...(and potentially chef), but there was only one person running the whole business when we were there. Drinks wise, this place has pretty decent and fun drunks! We had their spin of a pina colado and the traditional mojito. My friends and I ordered their carne frites and fried chicken. The carne fritas were good, but it was an overwhelming amount of fried food when paired with the plantains. The portions were generous, but you really don't need to eat that amount of fried pork or chicken. My friends and I all felt a little unwell after feasting out I'm skeptical to give this place a higher review, just because they had questionable menu items, like pasta Alfredo . There were a few unhappy tables that complained about their dishes, so I would just read more before choosing this place.

Overall, the food was very nice and as we continue to expereince, service was slow and lacked engagement.

The food is absolutely delicious (each of our family members had something different, and everyone was completely satisfied!

If not, I can't comment where to park. Maybe uber in here directly. All in all a delicious and delightful experience for our first time here.

Perfect stop for a drink while touring Old San Juan!…read more My husband and I stopped in here while biking through Old San Juan. We were thirsty for any good drink, and the vibes seemed to be good at Marilyn's Place, so we decided to try it out. The bar is small, with just a few seats inside and a very cool atmosphere with Marilyn Monroe photos lining the walls and a tiny cave-like bathroom. The bartender was amazing - super quick and his drinks were delish. We ordered a special pina colada and a beer and we were sooo satisfied with both as we sipped them on the patio. Good times at Marilyn's!

It showcases old coffee-making machinery and offers a glimpse into the history of coffee roasting, making the experience both enjoyable and educational.
