    "Ceaser Salad"
    Francis M.

    Ordered from here and I couldn't believe that my salmon was extremely undercooked and the "ceaser salad" i spent $7 was literally a bowl of lettuce. Not sure about those eating there but if your pocking up or ordering they don't care about your food quality.

    Went for brunch and bar bites on Sunday. The$10 burger was filling and tasty. The lobster tacos tasted good.

    Hard and tasteless meat

    Quality is far from a steakhouse, very disappointed with the service and the meat!!! They offered me 4 types of meat and a chicken that was burnt, I've never seen anything worse than that, what a disappointment!!!

    writing to share my disappointment with a recent experience at one of your locations during a birthday reservation while on vacation. We chose the full churrasco rodizio based on recommendations and our past positive experiences at Fogo de Chão, but unfortunately this visit fell far short of expectations. After being seated, we had to wait quite a while even after visiting the market table and receiving rice and beans. Once service began, the variety and quality of meats were very limited. Not once were we offered chicken, and the majority of options brought to our table were pork -- which we do not eat. The beef selections we did receive were either overcooked or lacked flavor, which was surprising given the high standards we have come to expect from your restaurants. This was especially disappointing because it was a birthday celebration for my mother-in-law. Despite noting this in our reservation, no acknowledgment was made -- no greeting, no dessert, not even a "happy birthday." It made what should have been a special evening into an embarrassing and frustrating experience. Considering the cost of the full churrasco experience and the reputation of Fogo de Chão, this was deeply underwhelming and upsetting. I kindly request that something be done to address this poor service, as this visit did not reflect the quality or hospitality associated with your brand.

    Made a reservation to have dinner with my wife and son. Just click on the link and you'll be taken to the reservation page. Convenient and easy. We chose to go early, at around 5:30. Good thing we chose that time because it wasn't very busy; however, about an hour, hour and a half later it really started to get busy. Service was great on all levels. Can't complain there. Really, I have no complaints. We sat inside but we're to close enough to the window to enjoy the nice view. The Market Table and Feijoada Bar had a vast selection of pretty much everything. It was hard to decide what to get, there was so much to choose from. And everything was fresh and tasty. The meats were off the hook. Juicy and flavorful. Our son had a blast picking the meat the servers cut. We really had a wonderful experience. Even though I ate plenty, I didn't leave feeling stuffed. My wife and I said afterwards that we should come here more often. Next on the to do list is go on a Sunday to try the brunch.

    This is easily one of the best steakhouses on the island and I don't say that just because I'm Brazilian. Each time we come here we have the same experience, excellent food and service. You also won't find a better deal. Add to that children under 6 eat for free. It was the first time our 5 year old son ate here and he loved it. His favorite thing was obviously when the servers would come to the table with the meat. He would eagerly wait for them with the tongs. The servers were very polite and friendly with him. We got there at 5:30pm and it was pretty empty, but it soon filled up. Even though the restaurant was busy there was always somebody checking up on us. The only issue I had was that they didn't have farofa. I was looking forward to it. Aside from that everything was perfect.

    This was my first time to this Brazilian steakhouse. The sides were very plentiful although most all are cold. They did have rice and soup for the warm sides. The amount of meat was plentiful but we had to ask for other meats as they were only rotating maybe five meats? We ordered a dry aged tomahawk steak which was supposed to come out on a salt platter and finish cooking at the table but it was sent out on a wood platter very rare so we had to ask for it to be cooked at tad longer (we ordered medium rare). Our server was amazing as well as everyone else we encountered.

    We only went for happy hour at the bar. It wasn't crowded at all. The bartender seemed to be stretched too thin making drinks for everyone. He messed up on a couple of tables drinks and forgot to put in our order for the sliders. The drinks were mediocre. I've definitely had better at other locations.

    No tenderloin during lunch today. Meat service was slow to come around. Friendly servers. A little bland for my taste. There's room for improvement.

    If you are into medium rare meat, this place may be a good experience for you. As for me, I like my meat practically burnt to a crisp and well done. So, I struggle with these types of places. They had a guava martini on their menu, so I had to stop by and give it a try. They also had tres leches and key lime pie. I tried both along with a pineapple mint lemonade. The keylime pie tasted more like a lemon pudding pie inside of a Graham cracker crust. It was a powerful flavor that I could only handle a few tastes of. The tres leches was a bit better. But they put marshmallow icing on top of the cake, which looked great but gave it a more sugary taste. I eventually scraped the marshmallow topping off the cake and ate the entire cake. I thought they had warm sides made to order, but all of their sides are kept on ice at a salad bar where you gain access to once you order "the experience"...which I decided to pass on. Other than the limited side options, the ambiance is nice. It's a very clean and elegant setup. They give you this complimentary dish that's a gummy breadlike substance and tastes both sour and salty. It did not suit my pallet, and no one told me what it was, so it remains a mystery. The lady who greeted us was very friendly. But the lady who serviced the table wasn't very friendly. She seemed a bit annoyed at having to explain what "the experience" was. She refused to make eye contact with me as she passed by me, too, so it took a while to get her attention for the check. She must have been having a bad day. We all have them. I just hope she finds what makes her happy sooner rather than later.

    Kept seeing a bunch of reviews on how amazing this place was and honestly it's up there…read more To start off, I'm not really a sweets guy so my take is going to be a little off from the general public. We were able to snag a reservation but for a late time which was about an hour and a half before close. The service was super great but one thing I wished they mentioned that the bottled water was going to be a $40 charge lol. Makes sense for any upscale restaurant though. Should've mentioned we wanted tap so fair warning, ask cause you WILL get charged haha. We had a group of 10 and for how big the group was, the food came out pretty fast. I don't think we ever had a time between drinks to entrees where we were waiting for food to come out. We got the watermelons mojito for drinks since it was the most raved about. It was good but personally nothing crazy for me. 8/10 score on that. We also curry popcorn chicken, the ahi tuna lollipops, the empanadillas and the goat cheese quesadillas for apps and honestly overall 9/10. This is where I don't like the sweetness part of this meal. The empanadillas were what I was most excited for but it was more sweet then savory which sort of lose my appetite a little. I think if you like that kind of taste then it's going to be good. It wasn't a bad taste at all. Just too sweet for my liking. The curry popcorn chicken was good and the lollipops were great. Again, nothing crazy. The goat cheese quesadillas was good as well but again, too sweet for my liking. Now on to the entree, they didn't have the porkchop since we came late so I ended up getting the porkchop belly dish. When it came out, it looked amazing but then I got a whiff of it and smelled cinnamon. That's when I was sort of disappointed. It was like eating pork but tasting Cinnamon Toast Crunch and as said before, it tasted great but too sweet for me. This one was way too sweet to where it seemed like a dessert item. I just had poor luck and got one of the one items that were sweet. This doesn't tank the rating down whatsoever because I also should've read it had cinnamon. It would've been great if they made a dipping sauce or something to pair it with and not have it on the pork belly itself. I got to try other dishes my friends got which were good as well but I wish I got to try something else. If I came back I would try the sold out item which was the pork shank or the sea bass. I know for a fact the sea bass was amazing. Had a bite of it and thought "I'll come back for that" Overall, 10/10 experience and nothing bad about the place but gotta try different items when I go next time. I understand the hype now

    This restaurant was a must-try after seeing everyone rage about it online, and it definitely lived…read moreup to the hype. Out of all the restaurants I visited in Puerto Rico, my friends and I came to the agreement that this was definitely the best one, and I can't believe we almost didn't come! To start off, the staff is super nice and made us feel welcome. I may be biased because one of them complimented my "gracias" (lol) but they were accommodating and patient as we had a hard time deciding what we wanted to order, since everything looked so good! The pinchos de atun was a must-try since everyone online was talking about that dish in particular, and it was AMAZING. The tuna is so fresh and complimented so well by the sauce and the rice cracker. The ceasar salad was flavorful and a great addition, since we didn't have much veggies at that point in our trip. And the sea bass!! SO tender and delicious. We also got the perfect lady cocktail and the guava & cheese bread pudding, and both were perfectly sweet and balanced out the rest of the meal. Everything about this place was amazing. The inside of the restaurant is very pretty and it's located near La Placita, so easily accessible to the nightlife if you want to party afterward. I will definitely be recommending Santaella to all my friends and coming back if I visit San Juan again.

My…read moreboyfriend and I arrived around 7:30pm on a busy Saturday night and were lucky enough to grab the 2 open seats at the bar because there was a wait for a table. This meant the bartender David was our server who was SO incredible. He was professional, incredibly efficient, kind, patient, gave us tips about the area, and made great dinner recommendations. He never let our water get below halfway full which I truly value too. Now onto the food - we shared the caesar salad, vodka pasta with chicken, and guavanoli. What a treat!!!! The caesar was large and fresh. The vodka sauce was more tomato based rather than loaded with heavy cream, which made it fresh and flavorful rather than super heavy which we enjoyed. Now the star of the show - the Guavanoli - a chicken stuffed crepe topped with mozzarella and guava sauce. David said tourists usually stay away from this because it sounds so different but it's the locals favorite. I can attest this has been one of our favorite meals of the entire trip, and we agreed the guavanoli was one of the most delicious yet unique entrees we've ever had. We're here for 2 more days and want to come back to get it again. The crepe wrapping essentially tastes like an enchilada, and the guava sauce is NOT too sweet. It's mixed with a red wine reduction so it has a slightly sweet edge to it, but is 1000% perfect with the dish and delicious. The prices are on the higher size but the portions are large and totally justify it. With the 2 of us, we ended up having a very decent amount of the vodka pasta as leftovers to take back to the hotel. We didn't order drinks, but David was whipping up incredible looking cocktails!
