The food wasn't bad at all. However, the service was a 3 out of 10 at most. Sat at the table for so long without anyone asking or offering water at least. The bartender became our waiter, as the actual waiter was lost. My rating would be lower if it wasn't thanks to the bartender. Place tries to be low key cool, but it's just plain and empty. Place would improve with more staff and attention to detail and service. read more

I ordered burger and rice and beans. Both were below average in taste. I was here when they opened and we were first customers. Food was slow to come out. Rice and beans were not hot. BURGER was served well done. I requested medium.. Server was not warm and absent and dismissive. She threw plates setting half assed. It has been long time since I was this disappointed in a meal. read more

Staying at their accompanying hotel to chill a bit before heading and this is our second time here. Not for lack of options but because we actually like it! Popped in last night for happy hour and stayed for a couple hours and enjoyed the sangria and the most delicious caramel iced coffee (shout on to Jean!) Came back the following day for some breakfast which was fantastic. On deck we had: Chicken and waffles for three, croquette monsieur and the french toast. Lots of mimosas and more delicious delish coffee. A standout was also the ginger lemonade was top tier! Our waitress Tamara was a gem! So sweet and with it being only her second day, the service she provided was excellent. read more

Service was very slow (took over an hour) with no one else in the restaurant. Food was decent but not a good experience.

I was a bit worried as the last review was from 2 years ago, but we were pleasantly shocked. We decided to end our PR trip with a stop at Emigrante Gastrobar and decided to have a Tapas shared dinner. We had a nice variety of Tapas plates; Charcuterie platter, Fish tacos, Sear steak crostini, Tuna tartar, Chicken wings, and Corn beef empanadas. We really enjoyed these and were surprised by the Sear Steak Crostini and Tuna Tartar which were very good! Surprisingly the one dish in our opinion that was lacking a little was the Corn Beef Empanadas. They just felt like they were missing a little spiced flavor. We enjoyed some local beers, Sangria, and a really awesome custom cocktail made by the bartender. We had an amazing wait staff named Ninoshka. She was super friendly and helpful and spent some time answering questions. I would definitely eat there again! read more

Solid food. Very nice staff. Fun live music and chill romantic atmosphere. Has a view of the street.

First timer. For dinner I had the Jibaro: pork, fired cheese, potatoes, rice, sweet plantain. I thought it was al separate but it was not. It was ok but somehow the flavors did not complemented each other. The rice and cheese was unexpected and it was good. The sweet plantain added its sweetness which was good. Diss appointed by the very limited amount of pork. I think the "issue" was the disproportion of the ingredients. Each bite was different. White Sangria: very good!! 4.5 stars. My overall rating is b/c of lack of pork and disproportion of ingredients. read more

Very nice place to eat. The Food was great! Genesis was our waitress and she took great care of us. She was pleasant and new the menu very well. She also recommended a great local beer by Ocean Lab Brewing Co. it was great. The ambiance and decor was very cool. I had the chicken Pad Thai and it was amazing. Definitely recommend the place for anyone looking for good food. Oh wait, they have a great lunch menu. read more

The steak crostini was great! Fairly quiet for a Friday night and our servers were very nice. No cocktail menu so be ready to order something! read more

Very good spot to eat or just relax within the hotel. The bar service is attentive and extremely personable. The breakfast experience was satisfying. The passion fruit mimosas and the Ginger lemonade are a must. The wait staff for breakfast was just as attentive and friendly as experienced by the bar staff. if you need something satisfying and quick, this is a good spot to check out. read more

We had breakfast here because it is right in our hotel. Salmon Benedict is my choice. Good read more

We decided to try out the hotel restaurant and weren't disappointed. It was brunch and there was a special that included for mimosas. I opted for the steak and egg dish (I can't remember the exact name but the brunch menu is very short) and it was delicious. The steak was huge and I'm still not sure how I ate all of it. It also came with ceviche that added additional delicious flavor. If in Puerto Rico or staying in the TRYP Wyndham definitely give emigrante a chance. The staff is very kind and food delicious. read more

This is hidden gem in Isla Verde. The drinks are great! Margaritas and Mojitos. Awesome service

How on Earth does this place get good reviews?! The salad had plastic pieces and the pasta was made from readymade sauces rather authentic flavors. I am not sure this place has a chef.. Don't waste ur time and money at this place. Total junk food. read more

Amazing..... This little gem continues to provide the best fixing for your appetite. My hotel guidance did not know, but will tell you...try your best to experience this restaurant. You will be thankful. We enjoyed a few appetizers and each are great. Tip...order the side Rice's, they will complete any choice. read more

The brunch is fantastic. Twice I've been. First time I got the chilaquiles, it was fantastic! If you order extra chips they will gladly bring them to you. The second time I got the pork chop with potato purée. It was amazing! Both times the service was spectacular and they made sure to keep our mimosa flutes full. Bottomless is where it's at! Love bringing friends here, and they love it as well. read more

I ate here 2 days in a row as I was staying at the Tryp hotel. They had an abundance of food both days but they charge $16.95 for a buffet. Also: the second day the skinny waitress started talking about me in Spanish to the other waitress. They also conveniently forgot to get me anything to drink but every person that ordered in Spanish got his or her drink. I would stay away from this place if you are a tourist that doesn't speak Spanish. Even speaking Spanish I would recommend going somewhere else. You can get better food for a lower price right down the street at many different restaurants! read more

We stayed in the adjoining hotel and stopped in for brunch one day during our stay. I ordered an omelet and seasoned potatoes. It was super greasy, but better than nothing. I'd recommend heading to one of the many local nearby cafes instead. The staff is very friendly. read more

We ordered a whole mess of tapas. Our waitress Maria was really down to earth and funny. Great food and service overall. My personal favorite was the croquetas, but the table preferred the pork belly montaditos. The octopus, pork tacos and fig flatbread also deserve a mention. My least favorite were the cigars (I don't like fried stuff); my parents loved them. The way they bring them out is unique though. Avoid the chuleria drink unless you enjoy really sweet cruise like drinks. The margarita was the best drink on the table, but all the other drinks were good (mule, whiskey cocktail) The only thing I'd say is that the tapas were a little on the pricey side, but compared with surrounding restaurants it falls on the average range. Overall really good vibe, food and service! Thanks Maria! read more

Food: Very good and unique dishes. We really enjoyed the short rib dumplings, tartare and the fresh fried sweet plantains. The sirloin was cooked perfectly. Service: Ruby was great and took amazing care of us. She also brought over a Christmas shot for us on the house. Environment: Part of the boutique hotel, Tryp. Very chic with mid century furniture. We got there around 7:45 and it was really quiet. More people came as the night went on, but it wasn't crowded. read more

Great service and the food was great. Waitress was awesome. Stayed until closing. Got to use my coupon as well from checking in. read more

Was a little skeptical since it's in a hotel lobby...but this place was excellent! We tried the cigarros, the tuna tartare (BEST I have ever had!), and short rib dumplings. Everything was excellent! We sat right at the bar, the staff was extremely helpful with ideas. Don't forget to get your free sangria! read more

Went in for lunch...place seemed deserted, but eventually someone presented themselves and directed us to a table. We had the pork mini-tacos (amazing!) the Morrocan meatballs (solidly good) and the fig flatbread (omg delicious). It was a little cold inside, and we had mismatched silverware (maybe that was intentional?) and my napkin was stained...but the food made that so worth it. Seriously good food. And the service was solid. read more

Excellent food! Gourmet, creative, savory, great flavor and taste. The longaniza risotto was amazing, flavorful, and creamy. The cigarro taquitos were great too. The white sangria out of this world. They take pride hat everything is homemade, and I have to be honest, everything taste like homemade. I'll be coming here more often. Great service! read more

First, the staff was friendly immediately. We asked the waitress for recommendations and she was ready with a short list of excellent choices. We ordered three tapas to share: the Cigarros-so good and the presentation was fun. Also, the Gambas Con Chorizo (garlic grilled shrimp with chorizo)- excellent. The grilled asparagus was very nice as well. We will be back. Very glad to have a new, good restaurant in the area. read more

My brother told me that this place was great. In my opinion, something or someone was not the same from his visit to mine. We order scramble eggs with ham and bacon. They were also offering a buffet for guess. Our scramble eggs, ham and bacon were serve from the buffet as a la carte item. The ham was stone cold, the bacon was bad and the eggs was cold and uninspiring. $40 bucks in the trash. read more

Guest staying at the hotel and tried this restaurant on a spur of the moment. Ruby was our waitress and she was beyond amazing! I tried mofongo for the first time during our visit and i fell in love with it. So as i was looking at the menu, I asked if they had any mofongo and she told me no. Came back a minute later and said the chef could make my mofongo!! I was sooo excited. The mofongo was the best that i had since being in san juan. Not only was the service great but so was the food! I highly recommend this place! read more

Truly impressive. The tapas were top notch (garlic shrimp & sausage, short rib dumplings especially stood out as great blends of flavor and texture). Burgers were exquisite - garlic truffle fries & buttery bun. Ambiance was newly remodeled w darker hues. No crowd - hopefully they can get more people in there. We will be back next time we are in PR. Server Joseb was very friendly and helpful. read more

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed this AMAZING restaurant !!!! The food/presentation was outstanding. We pretty much ate here every night during our stay bc it was that good!!! What made our experience the best was the staff. Ruby and Maria went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of . We have never experienced the quality of service like these two ladies gave us . We will be back and will tell everyone what a great place it is ! A++++++++++ read more

We were staying at the hotel and came for dinner. We weren't expecting much but we're blown away with how good the food was. My son and I ordered burgers and they were delicious. The fries were some of the best I've had. My husband ordered steak with some type of cheesy pea and risotto dish. For dessert I had Nutella creme brûlée. All were excellent. I would highly recommend this place! read more

I'm giving a solid 2 and would not recommend this place. Took awhile to get noticed and a menu, there was only me and a friend and another couple in the restaurant/bar. The older couple got amazing service and attention meanwhile we were with empty glasses and thirsty. So we got ourself water We look young are in beachy clothes not dressed up so our service was poor compared to the fancy couple. Sad thing is im pretty sure she didn't expect this little lady to be a millionaire who expects good service for high priced places I've written this while still waiting for the right check When my husband and I came 5 months ago the service was amazing but then again I was dressed nicer gave a 2 because food was amazing otherwise would rate a solid 0 read more

This little gem is located in the TRYP Wyndham hotel. I've eaten here three times during my stay, and not just for convenience sake. The friendly staff and wonderful food is ultimately what brought me back. Their menu features an assortment of Puerto Rican/Spanish/American fusion dishes that won't disappoint. Highly recommended if you're in the area. read more

Great tapas, codfish filet was excellent and great selection of wine, beers and drinks.

Wow! What happened to this place!? We were here several times previously- once when this restaurant was Salt, and the other several years ago when it became Emigrante. Sadly, it was so disappointing. Although the service is still great, the food is mediocre at best. We had soup and several tapas. Absolutely nothing positively to say about any of it. I feel badly giving such a negative review, but it is was it is. I would suggest Alambique or El Nuevo Acuario as much better options! read more

Staying at the Wyndham for a week and decided to try this place out for lunch. We were not dissapointed by any means. I had the croquetas and ordered a side of white rice with tostones and it was delicious. My son who tends to be selective with his menu options had their grilled chicken and platanos maduros. His words were "this is the best chicken i've had." Whether you are staying at this hotel or not you must give it a try. You will not be dissapointed. read more
