    Stayed at an air bnb close by so was a convenient stop. Dinner: husband had seafood monfogo 5/5. I had shrimp elfredo 4/5. Large shrimp but tails on. Pina coladas best we've had on the island. Brunch: husband had "wake up bowl" eggs, sausage, potatoes. Again he said 5/5. I had YUMMY parfait dish. Ate outside in the perfect weather. Service good. Down one star due to construction noise and island time service. Go there! Loud outdoor bat is fun too.

    Great restaurant for cheap eats with a view! My husband and I stopped by while we were headed to the beach and found this little gem. We sat outside by the bar area and was greeted with a smiling waiter who made some great recommendations. Both dishes was well seasoned, tostones were crispy and the rice was perfect. There's even a boat to grab some pictures with and chairs on the beach if you wanted to just grab a drink and mingle. Overall great experience and one of our most enjoyable meals in PR!

    Well ... after 50 minutes we still don't have food but the appetizer finally came out. ‍ A great vibe as far as music. Friendly staff. Too bad it's sooooooo slow and it's not the first time. Kids enjoyed the Santa so that was 1 thing to do. Drinks didn't all come out together either. Had to ask for missing items a couple of times. Overall, come out but don't come too hungry. Enjoy the drinks and music. I've heard the food is good.

    We were looking for a food option that was open late and would offer authentic Puerto Rican food and the reviews made it look like this was the place. The food quality was good, but not the best. They were out of traditional mofongo but gave us the option of mofongo de pana and it was good. The carne frita was nice and crispy for my taste, but overcooked for the others. For me the food did the job, but their service could've been more attentive.

    Food was brought to table in a timely manner and Steak was tender ! Bathrooms were nasty! But the server was very kind and helpful. Heads up : very expensive if stopping by after Crash Boat Beach!

    I had a yucca mofongo here about 5 years ago, and even though I visit the area twice every year, I only returned last month (June 12, 2020). The service and food were not as good as I remember. We both ordered a fish mofongo (daily special) with a side salad, and a coconut mojito. The mojito was watery, and was the worst mojito I had during my 4-month stay, and the mofongo took a very long time to come out, despite being the lunch special. Service was very slow, and I noticed the waitress chatting with other staff and looking at her phone several times, while we waited for our drinks, water, etc. She did not check in with us at all, but did hang around our table while we paid the bill, noting that "tip wasn't included". My aunt and I are native Spanish speakers and are from here, maybe she felt comfortable making such a tacky comment? I would not return.

    This was the restaurant we wanted to try, as it was closest to the beach house we were staying in. When we arrived the host or security guard was NOT pleasant to us. He wouldn't even seat our party of 7, he said there was no room for a party of 7. We looked around.. and didn't understand.. there were space. So we asked again, if we could get our party broken up to eat. A server stepped in and told us that the were backed up and that there was at least 20 ppl ahead of us and were waiting to eat as well and that their kitchen was shutting down in 30 min. It was about 8pm then. So I guess kitchen closes at 830 guys, according to them. We still couldn't find out where all the 20 ppl were that were waiting. There was no one else standing around or anything, but hey... if he don't want to seat us, we'll go somewhere else. At least she told us why. I 'd rather know we wouldn't get to eat before the kitchen closed vs sitting around and waiting. Nope, would not return.

    Rompeolas has been one of my favorite places for many reasons. It's everything in one place. Pictures perfect view, pet and family friendly, amazing night atmosphere and delicious food. If you stay within walking distance, you don't need to go anywhere else.

    Beautiful views and cold drinks. Stick to the fried foods. The rice and beans lacked flavor.

    No one is here inside and you still can't get service.

    Nice little place. Has an elevator. As that's important to me at the moment. I needed that. So…read moredon't be discouraged if you need one. Very nice looking. We came in for an early dinner. A friend who is from here recommended it to us on the fly. Appearance/Ambiance It looks like very nice. Like it would be an amazing night spot go go dancing out. Great looking tables and chairs and island bar display. -Great background music. Service Waitress is very friendly. Glad my wife speaks Spanish as they are more fluent. It was hard to get a refill on our drinks. When we did they were not with ice so they were warm. Had to ask for a cup of ice. Covid precautions -no temp checks on way in. Waitress wore a mask when near us, but not other times. The rest of the staff did not all the time and other times wore it over their mouth only, leaving their nose uncovered. Other staff as they came in and started working did not wear masks. Also the kitchen staff were never wearing a mask, the multiple times the doors opened. For an island very strict you'd think they would enforce that more here. Food Appetizers- fish bites and queso fritas which were both very good fried food. I enjoyed both. Dinner Sirloin steak. Requested well done. Received medium, super chewy steak. Had to send it back to get it finished. Over all the steak was pretty much horrible. Clearly frozen and not fresh. No seasoning. Bolognese pasta. This wasn't horrible. It was solidly OK. The complaint on the food was that the sauce was so very salty. Half as much salt would be perfect. It came with tostones on the side. Dinner Meals came out 10 minutes apart from each other. Means one of use has to have an extremely cold meal or eat alone. Then when steak was uncooked it was 20 minutes apart. How is this ok and normal? I'm not sure they understand that this takes away from the dinner experience. Why not plan appropriately to bring dishes together ? Miscellaneous -Bathrooms were out of toilet paper and paper towels. After informing the waitress, nothing happened and never saw anyone go to change these things. -There's a chirping from a battery operated smoke detector going off in background. -Flies noticeable around the place. Overall I hope it's better other times if the day. We went early for dinner around 5pm. The appetizers were fresh. Maybe I had the wrong things. Appetizers and drinks were the best part.

    Came here on a Tuesday, it wasn't poppin but I'm sure it gets that way on the weekends, still has…read moregood music and hookah with late night kitchen so we appreciated that. Food was all very good, there was only one person working the bar and floor so definitely have patience, he was still very attentive. Drinks were also really good. They use instant coals for hookah. Also FYI the churrasco nachos were good but we were surprised they were $26 since it was a special no price listed, I would say they weren't that amazing for the price
