    i've never waited this long for food while being completely ignored by a server. we waited over an…read morehour and the only time our table was acknowledged was when our bread was brought out. meanwhile, we watched larger parties get served before us and even saw people who arrived after us finish their meals. after waiting an hour and 45 minutes, we finally gave up and asked to pay for what little we had -- bottled water, soda, and bread. i understand places can be short staffed, but that should be communicated upfront so customers can decide if they want to stay. as soon as we were paying for what little we got, our food suddenly came out, and it felt like they just expected us to accept it and be happy after all that waiting. when we brought everything up, there was no real effort to make it right, which made the whole experience even more frustrating. overall, it just felt like our time was completely wasted. nunca había esperado tanto por comida mientras el mesero nos ignoraba. esperamos más de una hora y la única vez que se acercaron a nuestra mesa fue para traer el pan. mientras tanto, vimos cómo atendían a mesas más grandes antes que a nosotros e incluso vimos a personas que llegaron después terminar sus comidas. después de esperar una hora y 45 minutos, decidimos rendirnos y pedir la cuenta por lo poco que habíamos recibido: agua embotellada, refresco y pan. entiendo que pueden estar cortos de personal, pero eso debería comunicarse desde el principio para que los clientes decidan si quieren quedarse. justo cuando estábamos pagando por lo poco que recibimos, salió nuestra comida, y parecía que simplemente esperaban que la aceptáramos y estuviéramos contentos después de tanta espera. cuando expresamos nuestra molestia, no hubo ningún esfuerzo real por solucionar la situación, lo que hizo la experiencia aún más frustrante. en general, sentimos que nuestro tiempo fue completamente desperdiciado.

    This beautiful restaurant ended up being one of my favorite places to visit with my crew while in…read morePR. The drinks were epic and the food was unforgettable! Service was absolutely excellent!

    The Island - Chicken stew with fried plantain. Chicken had a weird (fish? Raw?) taste and I really had a hard time swallow it...

    We had a harder time finding restaurants that are open when we drove away from San Juan, as the…read more2017 hurricanes hurt local economy and tourism. Luckily, this small shop called "The Island" was still in operation and offers semi-good Puerto Rican food. After a long wait of one hour (there was another table with 12 people that needed to be served first) we got our food as:(1) Red Snapper with rice and beans (2) Ribs with fried Plantains (3) Mahi-Mahi fillet with baked potato (4) Chicken stew with fried plantain. Baked potato was rated good among all of us, but the chicken in my chicken stew had a strange raw taste that I barely ate any of them ... on the plus side, the view was gorgeous!

    Can you say $1 mojitos???? After hours of driving, getting…read moreour car stuck, being lost and stressed out, we were trying to find a beach to sit and enjoy. We got turned around, and ended up across from this restaurant, sowe decided to stop. $1 mojitos. Sold. Instantly made the day better. Our waitress was fantastic, I wish I could remember her name. She was helpful in choosing our meals, our drinks, etc.. We had 2 small children, that were bored and needed to run around. They allowed the girls to be in another area to run and eat so they would not bother other patrons. Food came, was good, the view fantastic. There was 90's, early 2000's music playing, at a volume appropriate for an outdoor bar. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. Would definitely come back!

    The Island - Ensalada de camarones. A bed of canned 3 bean salad w/a handful of lettuce. Shrimp is a good size, fresh, but needed more lettuce.
