If you're eating at the restaurant, make sure to let them know so that they give you a real glass (which has more drink). Plastic cups are for if you are going to the pool or beach. You can also order food to go, or sit at one of the tables and wait for a friendly waitress, they are always playing amazing music, and the customer service is second to none!

It was conveniently Happy Hour so took advantage of the $3 mojitos. I also ordered a calzone. The drinks were great food was also above average. Service was also good.

I ordered the tenderloin filete mofongo mixto (tenderloin steak, mushrooms, onions, red peppers and green peas over mofongo in a brown gravy). Truly delicious!!

Finished up with a tres leches and cortado and could not be happier to have come to La Casa del Chef for our meal! The wait staff was also lovely answering all the questions we had.

We had an assortment of appetizers (all fried but hey, it's Puerto Rico and we fry a lot of things) The temperature of the restaurant was a little too warm for my liking. I think the amount of people there is what made it warm. Food was not elevated cuisine but it was a decent price and good quality. I'd say close to homemade Puerto Rican food. I'd go again. Many plates to choose from with a great variety. Happy that we went:

My wife had the rice bowl with churrasco and loved it. When they brought the appetizers they didn't-bring plates so we ate them from the actual serve dish. Refill of my soda took forever, other than the staff sings happy birthday nothing else is really done which makes the experience boring, not sure if the waiter was new but multiple times he said let me ask. Two star rating was giving because ny wife did like her rice bowl. $70 dinner was not worth the experience.

We were starving and tired after the drive with kids and had noticed Asao on the way to the falls - it was on a short list of places we drove by to go to for lunch after our short waterfall hike. We were the only patrons there the entire time we were there. They were starting to set up Christmas lights as we arrived. Our waitress was very nice - she didn't know English too well so called over another waitress or bartender to help communicate the menu better for us. We ended up ordering chicken tenders for the kids, and a combo order of pork, ribs, and chicken. Everything tasted incredibly fresh; however, I will be honest - I didn't particularly like the smoky flavor of the meat. Not at any fault of the restaurant- it just wasn't my particular taste. It's a bit too game-y in taste for me. The service was excellent. The setup and open air feel of the restaurant was great as well.

We ordered a few bottles of wine off of their extensive wine list, before finding one they actually had. I was so excited they had escargot on the menu, but it was extremely salty. Wouldn't order again. The Caesar salad was very good. I had the duck breast, which was excellent and my husband the red snapper, which he loved. We would go back if staying here again.

Enjoy some beers immersed in history. The staff will gladly explain more about the house and its owner. By the way, the staff was awesome. Very friendly and attentive. The brewery is relatively new. I believe they opened their doors in early 2020. They have an outdoor patio in the back, as well as a single table on the front porch. So far they have released three beers, a lager, a blonde ale, and a hazy IPA. Unfortunately, when we visited they only had the lager available. It was good, don't get me wrong. I just would have liked to sample all of them. They had several guest brews on tap and in cans. One of the was Sanamuerto, an IPA from a brand new brewery in Orocovis called Cacique Brewing Co. they don't have a taproom so the only place to try their beer is on tap a certain spots. It was very good. Glad I got to try it here. All in all, this was a cool stop in our day trip to Ponce. I will visit again next time I am in the area. There is street parking available and a lot across the street. We arrived at 4p and it was closed but when we left it was open. So I would assume they only open in the evenings. Check their IG page for up to date info and their website for their beer and food menu. They also have cocktails in case you are mad and don't want or like beer.

We came because of good food reviews, but never got the chance to try it. Unfortunately, the service alone was a huge turn-off. No food is worth that kind of treatment. We do not recommend this place. A hard pass.
