We had the pleasure of being taken care of by Angelita and she made our delight her mission!! We began our meal with a bottle of The Fableist Cabernet Sauvignon, a beautiful full-bodied, but seemingly light, wine with vibrant, fruity notes of black currant and a hint of smoky oak. We then ordered the Crab Cassava Cake and the Vegan Ceviche appetizers The Vegan Ceviche was a refreshing medley of bright and fresh vegetables in a light lemon broth with a super tasty Breadfruit Fritter. The Crab Cassava Cake was an absolute SHOW STOPPER!!! The crab stew was bursting with true Puerto Rican "Criolla" flavor and was exquisitely complimented by a luscious and light cassava cake infused with tart, creamy goat cheese As a person who has never had a traditional crab cake due to a serious aversion to mayo, I was so stoked to try this version and it was absolutely worth the wait!! For our entrees, we selected the Grilled Salmon and the Chulekan. The salmon was perfectly cooked and served with asparagus and a hearty and delicious mashed Malanga (taro). The Chulekan is a traditional grilled pork chop preparation and Costa Azul has it perfected!!! The generous portion was incredibly flavorful and moist and topped amazing "mamposteo" style rice and beans. Both of our delectable meals were devoured with gusto! Overall, Costa Azul delivers on flavor, vibes and innovation and is a definite DO NOT MISS if you are in the Isla Verde/Carolina area!!!

Frankie was our waiter - very friendly and attentive. We got straight to ordering which included a couple of things including Truffled Mushroom Pizza ($24), Truffle Fries ($14), Shrimp + Grits ($32), and a few others. These were the most notable. The pizza was great, but could've used slightly more mushrooms at that price point. Service was excellent all throughout, and they have a very attentive team.

The wedge salad was fresh, but could have used more bacon and blue-cheese crumbles. The salt and pepper calamari was also tasty and cooked perfectly; it was served with a lemon aioli. The smash-burger had two patties, and standard fixings - lettuce, tomato, and a sauce. The plate came with season fries. We also ordered dessert. We ordered the pineapple upside down cake, which was amazing. The cake was super moist and buttery. We also ordered pistachio ice-cream, which was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. They also split everything and brought extra plates. Reservations are encouraged because this place can get busy. There is a take-away window so you can still enjoy the food! Enjoy!

I mean I have never seen food and drinks come so seamlessly while plates and silverware were cleared by the invisible man. The ceviche was an abundant pile of gloriously fresh fish. I asked for more bread to finish it off. I also had the Lobster Thermidor. It was as big as my head and delicious down to the last bite. My margaretes were strong and tasty. Treat yourself to this adorable, authentic place.

My wish that night was to find a place offering fried whole snapper and it was on their menu - and I even called ahead to be sure it was available that night. So I was hyped to try their snapper version, and it didn't disappoint. The vibe of the restaurant was that of a friendly neighborhood joint, possibly a bit retro time-wise. Service was prompt and informative. We both had cocktails, and Paige said it was one of the best whisky sours she's had. With the snapper - which was HUGE - I had an order of mamposeao, a rice and bean stew that was amazing. My wife's chicken parm also got a great review from her. We parked in the small lot directly in front of the restaurant, and there was an attendant to help with parking.

There are…read moremultiple restaurants and a coffee shop but my review will focus on Mar Y Rosa, the rooftop restaurant. Reservations are highly recommended especially with cruise ships and tourists galore. We were lucky to snag reservations at 5pm. We were seated by the bar which was great. We didn't want to be in direct sunlight and it was a little windy. The wall and roof helped with the wind. Part of the hotel has glass floors. A little trippy and cool at the same time. We started off with cocktails. The hibiscus guava margarita was beautiful and delicious. Overall, all the cocktails were great. For starters, we got the crab donuts. Literally, the best of both worlds. Who doesn't love a sweet donut with savory crab. That was one of my favorites. The tuna starter was so good too. So fresh with nice size pieces of tuna, watermelon, red onion, and jalapeño. The tuna came with a corn chip and smashed avocado too. For my entree, I ordered the trio of taquitos. Most of the menu is tapas style so I wasn't sure how hungry I was. The taquitos were so good and fresh. They were small so I ordered more! I forgot to take a picture of the shrimp lettuce wraps but my stomach was so happy. My husband ordered the crab fried rice. You have to work for it, but they make it easy. The flavors were delicious. Our friends ordered the crab fried rice and the catch of the day, which was grouper. It was a little pricey so this restaurant isn't your every day place, but it was wonderful for our last night out in Puerto Rico! Cheers.

We waited over an hour for our food, only for the manager to come over laughing and tell us it would take another 30 minutes. He showed no concern or empathy for the fact that we'd already been waiting so long, especially with hungry kids at our table. Sadly, this experience completely changed our perception of Puerto Rico's customer service. A restaurant in such a popular tourist area should value its customers and treat them with respect. Based on our experience, this place should not be representing Puerto Rico's hospitality.

The gem salad was outstanding, and the pepperoni pizza, too. Service was polite and attentive. Two stars for breakfast: very slow and disorganized two days in a row. The hostesses were polite but overwhelmed and disorganized. It appears they were using a combination of paper receipts and a smart pad to add people in the very long line to the waiting list. It seemed like there were two waiting lists. People who were behind me in line were seated before me although I stated no preference regarding an inside or outside table, just first available. I had a more than 30 minute wait despite there being nearly a dozen empty tables. About half of these tables were set and the rest waiting to be bused. People were told they would receive a telephone call when their name came to the top of this list. It appeared that some tables were held for a very long time before the people showed up. It's not an efficient system. Service was courteous but very slow. It was another half-hour after being seated before my food arrived. So, it was more than an hour after I got into line before I came begin eating. My order the first morning was also gotten wrong. I asked for eggs over-easy. They arrived scrambled and my toast order was completely forgotten.
