Asparagus

They accommodated our reservation, we were running a little behind schedule. That was nice of them to do. The place is pretty, food was good (minus the lobster bisque) I felt like I had way better. There were no lobster pieces in the soup, and made it feel underwhelming. The calamari was good tasting (but they left out the lemon). Overall good place for a special day to celebrate.

Beef Truffle Mac and Cheese

La primera vez que visitamos Rare 125 y nos encantó. Valeria fue muy amable con nosotros y estuvo pendiente de todo. Recomendado 100%. Mi esposa pidió el Truffle Beef Mac and Cheese de Trufas y yo la chuleta con risotto de gandules. Para culminar un flan de queso manchego.

Calamari

This was a random quick find in the midst of having a fail with another restaurant but if I must say it was a must-visit! Great ambiance and tasty drinks. The service was PERFECT. Our waiter Brian was a delight. He was continuously checking on us and making the best recommendations, everything he suggest did not miss! His vibes made our night unforgettable. Of course, we had to get the calamari which was * MWUAH * MUY DELICIOUS. We both got the mac and cheese, one pork and one shrimp. And let me tell you, the plate was EMPTY, spotless, clean. Nothing was left behind because it was just THAT good. 10/10 recommend.

AMAZING!!! My bf booked a surprise birthday dinner for me and was so happy with our experience. Indoor and outdoor seating, we opted to sit outside as the weather was perfect. So many options for wine and champagne, we decided to get a glass of both and it was super complimentary to our meal. We ordered the filet mignon empanadas and they were tender, flavorful and the pastry was crispy. The chimichuri sauce was drinkable that's how good it was. Let's get into the entrees. We ordered the bone in Ribeye, NY strip, garlic mash and truffle Mac. Steaks were cooked to a perfect medium and were nicely salted. Mac and cheese had a nice crust. My only critic is the mash could have been creamier. So happy my bf found this gem! Great restaurant with very accommodating staff.

El servicio excelente. Nos atendió Kai un joven muy atento, amable y esmerado en dar un servicio de calidad. Nos contestó todas las preguntas sobre el menú y nos dio excelentes recomendaciones . La comida muy bien presentada, a una temperatura correcta y un sabor exquisita. El ambiente acogedor.

Beef Dumplings

Not your typical steakhouse setup, but with nearly all the markings on the menu of what you've come to expect. Rare 125 is a well-founded steakhouse concept with some unique and tasty variations. First off, the Caesar Salad was average, but that's not really what we're here for anyway. Following this was the beef dumplings, which were fantastic. Rich, tender, nearly melt in your mouth flavor. Not like many dishes that I've had elsewhere, these are well worth a try! For mains, the Sesame Tuna was a solid 3.5/5 type dish that blended some Asian flavors into a relatively affordable Tuna dish. The tuna was a bit on the dry side but the overall flavors still made for an acceptable profile. The best of the group was the Export Rib, with the added pastrami rub and their house made steak sauce. This combination of rub and sauce with a solidly cooked steak was a strongly favored dish that I liked quite well. Would I say it's up there with the absolute best I've had anywhere? Maybe not, but it wasn't far off either!

wild salmon with gnocchi. It was good but just tasted a bit fishy and normal. not really fancy restaurant tasting

Food was good. There was no "wow" impression on us. The service was good as well. However, I would say it did take us a little while to be able to take our order so the weight staff was overwhelmed. The price was not worth the food and I would say it was unseasoned. Definitely would say i recommend the ribeye tho

Ribeye

When we called to make reservations we were told nothing was available, but since it was around the corner from our airbnb we decided to pop in on Friday evening and were pleasantly surprised when we were able to be seated immediately. The steak dishes we got were great and I would highly recommend. I was a tad disappointed with the other dishes (Brussel sprouts, fries, etc.) and wish they put a little more effort into those dishes as they did the steak options. I loved the pepper sauce with our steak, it was a great addition!

Located in one of Miramar area corners right in front of the main street with few tables inside but much more in the outside balcony. Attention was as expected for a high category place like this. The specialty is red meat cooked to perfection in its natural juices with no fancy seasoning killing its original taste. We both loved our steaks. Side orders are huge and good for sharing. The dessert was good but not my favorite, it was thick and felt like a knot on my tongue. Tip, don't forget to double check the ticket. Overall based quality and price its a 4

I found out about this place on a TikTok. The food was really good, but the service we received from our server, William, was not the best. William came to our table one time the entire 2 hours we were there so we didn't have water/drinks and one basic needs just were not met. Great food, but we had poor service from William!

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

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! They also have really cool hand-painted large portraits around the room. Beautiful restaurant, amazing staff, and even better food!!

The food was some of the most delicious food ive ever tasted, especially the risotto (10/10). There was one dish that my girlfriend didnt like but they went immediately to get her something new.

Im not sure if the dessert was pre-made but having the allergens directly on the menu may help. Otherwise I completely recommend trying here.
