    I haven't been here for about two years and wondered about the new chef…read more Everything was marvelous! The wonderful view of the ocean is the same. The space is large and comfortable. The chef's tasting menu was stellar. Each course was timed perfectly. Service was excellent. The wine pairings were ideal. Luis did a great job as sommelier. I continue to highly recommend 1919!

    There should be absolutely no reason why you should be at a restaurant for over two hours, unless…read moreyou're having an amazing freaking time. Despite how amazing of a time I was having with my wife celebrating my 35th birthday with my wife and some friends in Marea Bar before our reservation, sitting down at 1919 this time (after an amazing experience four years ago) was anything but. In two whole hours, we were served two courses of a four course prefix, with the wine pairings coming 25 minutes before each course was served, there was a lot to be desired. Upon asking what was going on, we were told that the kitchen was backed up out, however, the restaurant wasn't even half full. After another 30 minutes waiting for our third course, beef for her and duck for myself, it finally arrived, and the duck was impossible to cut through while the beef was just above room temperature. Upon talking to the manager, Bryan, we were dismissed as if we were unimportant and were told thank you for stopping by. He smiled slyly as if he knew that this happens often. It's clear that this is not a one night problem, but that this is a regular problem at this restaurant. You can tell by the other reviews that it's not that the kitchen had a bad night --they're having a bad year. So if you're staying at the hotel, the hotel is lovely. But if you're planning on dining at the hotel-- don't do it. With family in the restaurant space (including Michelin star holders) we expected a certain level of service, that was totally unmet by the staff and the fare at 1919.

There were four of us, and we shared the tomahawk steak along with sides (potatoes, Brussels sprouts) and some oysters. Flavor-wise, everything was solid. That said, I'm big on temperature! Especially at their price point. The steak we ordered medium rare came out very rare and lukewarm, not hot, and the Brussels sprouts weren't hot either. When we mentioned it, the server seemed to anticipate the issue, which made it feel like the food may have been sitting. To their credit, they tried to make it right, bringing out additional dishes (including their arroz con con with an egg on top) and were very apologetic, which I appreciated. Still, the bill was over $400 without extras, and for that level, consistency matters. Not quite a 5-star experience, but it has the potential to be with better quality control in the kitchen.

    Hidden gem meets birthday bliss…read more We stumbled upon this magical little garden of yum during our birthday trip to Puerto Rico, staying right in the heart of Condado. After a long, sandy stroll along the beach, sun-kissed and parched, we wandered the streets in search of a place to sip and snack--and boom! Dulcesalado appeared like a mirage... but real. We grabbed a seat on the leafy patio where the walls are literally alive. Think secret garden meets tropical chic. You half expect a fairy to bring your cocktail. Instead, we got an incredibly sweet waitress who treated us like cousins she actually likes--warm, attentive, and full of great recommendations. Let's talk drinks and bites: * Iced Hibiscus Tea - Floral, chilled, and refreshing. Like a spa day in a glass. * Tamarind Martini - Sweet, tangy, dangerous. I wanted to drink it and bathe in it. * Watermelon Sushi - WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT?! Sweet, savory, crunchy, and completely unexpected. I'd fly back just for this. * Apio Pancakes with Shrimp - These lil' cakes were fluffy, and packed with flavor. I would 100% slap my mama for another bite (sorry, Mom). * Scallops in Cream Sauce - These scallops came to seduce. Tender, buttery, luxurious. Gourmet without being fussy. The vibe? Effortless. The food? Elevated. The drinks? Dangerous. If you're in Condado, run--don't walk--to this verdant oasis. Dulcesalado is that perfect mix of "vacation indulgence" and "why don't we have this back home?!"
