The best branzino I've ever had in my life. I went here for a friend's birthday and it did not disappoint. The service was great, the restaurant was cozy and elegant and the food was phenomenal. For an appetizer we had the grilled octopus and it was delicious but the show stopper was the branzino. It was so amazing, buttery, and flavorful. I've ordered branzino all over the world in the states and this hands down was the absolute best I've ever had. The ribeye was also very good. read more

This was a great spot for a quiet romantic dinner. The place was small, the lights were dim, and the soft music played to set the mood. Our waitress was very good with making recommendations and refilling our drinks. She visited our table frequently to make sure all was well and would engage in small talk about where we were from and what we should consider doing on our visit to Puerto Rico. The menu was a bit different than what we were accustomed too but after sharing what we liked the waitress made recommendations that did not disappoint. We started with the lamb meat ball in Alfredo sauce which were amazing and had a pasta dish and filet for dinner. We ended the meal with a chocolate dessert that was really good. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a quiet dinner with someone you love. read more

Great spot for dinner in San Juan. A bit out of the way but has a great view of the water. I got the melodrama and the Cecilia, and both were terrific cocktails. For food, we got the burrata which was the best dish of the night--we also got the NY steak strip which was cooked perfectly. Brussels sprouts were a good side dish. Overall very good experience. Limited seats on the rooftop. read more

My main meal was the lamb burger and it was absolutely great. I had some of my parters meals as well which included an Angus slider, and Mafaldine Pasta. Another great meal in PR. All the food I had, had that fresh taste to it like all the other food I had in PR. If you want a fancy spot to eat with a beautiful view of the sea with an awesome decor and great service, then this spot will not let you down. read more

We showed up for a 730 reservation made two weeks in advance. There was an open table but we were told we couldn't sit there because there was a 9:15 reservation who requested that table. If we wanted to eat that night we either had to eat on patio lounge furniture or had to leave after an hour. All we got was a "too bad, so sad" on the way out because that was "the best they could do." This used to be a regular stop for us in San Juan but it's off the list. read more

Never typically write reviews, but wanted to mention how amazing this place was. It was our last big dinner in Puerto Rico for our honeymoon and this placed helped make it so memorable. Rosie (sorry if I misspelled) was our waitress and was so kind. She gave detailed information over all the food and helped us make our choices for the meals. Which were all so good. The ambiance of the place was perfect for a date night. I was even given a scarf by the staff because of a cold breeze near our table. Overall me and my husband had an amazing experience here, for sure recommend for those who want a nice romantic dinner. read more

Hands down the best meal I had in Puerto Rico. I had a pasta dish, split a bottle of wine for the table, and had an after dinner drink of an espresso martini. This is a very high end restaurant but it is definitely worth the price. Dinner was a great pace, they did not try to rush us out. read more

Absolutely fabulous steak house in a very quaint charming little boutique hotel in Condado. The Olive. We started our meal with a small salad, courtesy of the manager Jose. Tomatoes with papaya under arugula and what I thought was lightly cooked fine onions with a light vinaigrette. Good and refreshing way to start. For starter we had the mahi lollipops. Really cute lollipop shaped raw mahi with sweet crab inside. This was excellent. Main dish the tomahawk steak for two with the spinach gratin and the blue cheese Mac n cheese which I thought was too overpowering to eat with this protein. The steak on the other hand was superb. Easily one of the very best I've ever had. And let me state this. I'm not a steak person. This was expertly seasoned and cooked exactly as ordered. For dessert really good and well executed creme brûlée Service is on point. It's expensive, and a good steak house is. It's a small place so recommend reservations and then make sure you go. You will not be disappointed. read more

Great upscale restaurant experience with fantastic service. Valet parking is $22, but there's an hourly self-park lot around the corner behind the restaurant that's easy enough. I would have liked to see the main courses paired with a side - as of now, they're served a la carte with sides extra. read more

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Ruined My Wedding Day! I write this review with absolute regrets in my heart. The service and lack of compassion at Olive Boutique Hotel & Sage Restaurant Condado,PR is despicable. My wedding memories are ruined. Worst Service EVER! Accommodations that should have been made never were. My entire wedding night was spent arguing with staff and being told there is no one hire up who can help me. No manager on staff NOTHING. I'm in a beautiful gown with tears running down my face and the event coordinator Kamil couldn't careless. Wedding photos with my family weren't taken due to the constant back and forth with staff. I was stressed beyond belief. The Price is luxury and the service is like fast food. NEVER HAVE AN EVENT WITH THEM. read more

Great vibe and food on the rooftop. Would recommend. Seating is more for cocktails and apps instead of dinner.

First and foremost, I appreciate the hospitality of everyone in this country for asking about allergies. That being said, this place asked if I had allergies, and then made doubly sure not to give us any dish that had pork. Unbeknownst to us, they proceeded to give us a salad which had pork pieces (bits of prosciutto) even though they mentioned between 2 waiters that they would remove any pork in the salad. Only 3/4ths of the way through the salad did we notice because of how small the pieces were were (the size of grains of rice). They did apologize and offer to get me allergy medication, but at the end of dinner, they charged us for the salad (fixed after we mentioned it..) and the manager didn't speak with us. The waiters were apologetic, but this could have killed me. We were on high alert the rest of the night after taking emergency medication for the allergy. Disappointing and as a doctor myself, dangerous / life threatening. read more

View was pretty!!! Service was so painfully slow, a little rude . Won't be back and I didn't stay for dinner just had a drink

Staff went above and beyond anything we've ever experienced. Hector was our waiter and made the experience top notch. We stayed at the hotel as well and everything was amazing. I got the New York strip and would gladly go back for seconds and thirds of we could get a table before we leave. read more

I will start with the service: it's very good (all of them) including the rest. Manager Josue. Upon our arrival our table was ready and following COVID 19 protocols. Our opening for the dinner was with a cup of Taittinger - the product was good but the most important for champagne is that they were stored and served at good temperature which for us they were. As appetizer we ordered "duck confit agnolotti -dumplings and angus sliders both of them spectacular. For main dish we had the filet and mafaldine pasta. Filet was cooked to the point we ordered (medium), pasta al dente and great taste, adequate serving temperature and great presentation. Our wine pairing with main dish was Marques de Murrieta 2015 bottle - served at adequate temperature and conservation was good since we know about this particular wine house. As dessert we got the chocolate hazelnut mouse - simply 5/5. Again- all perfect from service to food and wine. Also acknowledge the service given by parking staff and front desk. read more

Sage Steak Loft - Marques de Murrieta 2015, not many left in PR. - Puerto Rican Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

One word - AMAZING. We don't give 5 stars easily but there was no disputing that this place deserves it. The service was also amazing. Extremely nice and made great recommendations. I would definitely recommend the lamb meatballs, tomahawk steak, spinach, vegetables, and crème brulé. Our concierge at the Marriott recommended this place when I asked for a record for steakhouses. read more

I will be as unbiased and as fair as possible. My experience was lacking in a lot of areas. The place is beautiful but it felt like an expensive luxury tourist trap. Upon arrival, the waiter asked for any allergies. I gave her mine and then an inappropriate line of questioning started about why I don't eat this or that. The wine list was terrible in variety- 2 pages of US wines with approximately 8 choices total of Argentina, Spain, etc. My red wine was served ice cold. Ordered drinks-terrible. One with pisco tasted like soap and the smoked Old Fashioned tasted like charcoal(smoked should not equal burned) How can you ruin an Old Fashioned? I have no clue. There are much better drinks at bars in Santurce, Miramar, next door in Condado. The prices were exorbitant for the portion size, type of food served. I am not cheap-I gladly spend $300+ on a dinner for 2 if its worth it. An appetizer runs near $20. A side dish costs $10 and is about an 6oz cup serving. Tuna pops and croquettes were good but not worth the price-spent around $30 for those two apps. The bread they give is really good. The menu is limited for such a specialty place-The waiter was rude and passive aggressive when I indicated I could not find food options in the menu. I ordered a wagyu burger with fries and it was good but I found that the cut of meat maybe shouldn't be made into a burger or maybe the place made it to be greasy. By greasy I mean, plate dripping, my hands covered and shining. We skipped dessert and rushed out to pay the 15$ valet parking and find a better place to spend the night. If you're looking for similar place but without these faults would recommend another nearby restaurant in Miramar (rare125, as Kate the other reviewer also commented). This will be my first and last time in sage and I will spread the word around. read more

My fiancé and I loooooved this place. We had dinner here our first night in San Juan. The decor is beautiful and romantic looking over the laguna. The food was excellent. My fiancé is still raving about the lamb burger. He also mentioned that his steak was near perfect and better than a lot steakhouses we've been to in NYC. Highly recommend. read more

Meal was excellent! Right down to the bread! The meatballs and Cesar salad are must try.

Spectacular setting in a very charming Boutique Hotel. The staff was very attentive and courteous. We started out with a Cosmo and a Kiwi Collins, and the The Ahi Tuna appetizer was stuffed with real crab, delicious! A very subtle touch of Sriracha mixed with the Tuna and Crab is just perfect. The Tomahawk Steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, one of the best I've had anywhere. After dinner, stop by the rooftop bar at the Olive Boutique Hotel for a nightcap or two, stunning view of the Condado Lagoon and a very nice decor and atmosphere! read more

Absolutely delicious! Came here for our anniversary dinner and nothing disappointed. We ordered the burrata, salmon pops, risotto, steaks and fries. Make sure to order the peppercorn sauce with the steak! read more

Another jewel by Chef Mario Pagan: amazing steakhouse and restaurant located now within Olive Boutique. We were quite cautious to visit the new proposal by Olive as we loved the prior restaurant so much. But it was great. Started with the special house made Cesar Salad .

Sage Steak Loft - Puerto Rican Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

My mother always taught me that if I had nothing nice to say, to keep my mouth shut... And, while I've not always heeded that advice, it isn't necessary when speaking (or writing) about Sage Steak Loft. OMG, this place is amazing! It's a tiny, 20-ish table restaurant inside the O:live Boutique Hotel. It's almost like stepping into the pages of a Restoration Hardware catalog. Their use of reclaimed wood everywhere along side the stucco created a warm and inviting environment that I wouldn't necessarily think of as Puerto Rican. Their staff was equally inviting, gracious, and courteous. Ok... Enough about the decor. Let's talk about the food! (I've included pictures of everything we ate.) How do you make ahi tuna more perfect? Wrap it around king crab. Delicious! I'm a huge fan of burrata. I love it's creaminess. The caprese was kicked up a level with different colored heirloom tomatoes and compressed watermelon. The pop of the tomatoes matched with the creaminess of the burrata, the tangibles of the balsamic and the sweetness of the watermelon was pure and utter perfection. Rib eye is my absolute favorite cut of meat and the Sage Steak Loft chose the perfect cut and cooked it perfectly. The sear on the outside gave it a nice crunch while the inside was a perfect medium and so soft you could almost cut it with a butter knife. The branzino special was perfectly seared and served on top of a bed of spinach grits. I'm not much of a fish eater but the grits were creamy and crunchy at the same time. I finished the meal with the spicy chocolate cake. Meh. I've had much better, I've had worse. At the end of the day it didn't ruin my meal. As a matter of fact I almost forgot I even had it. The party next to us was three generations of a family - mother, daughter, grand-daughter. We immediately started a conversation almost from the moment we sat down and the waiter brought them their pop-overs (that's right! Amazing pop-overs (or Yorkshire pudding) to start your meal instead of bread. Ummmmm.... Hello! I would have recommended them just for those! Anyway, we enjoyed the company of these lovely ladies and sweet little girl and joins the, on the roof op deck of O:live for a cocktail. Another RH looking space with friendly staff and great cocktails. We will definitely be back! read more

I didn't love this spot but I almost loved it. The vibe is almost a 5, the views are almost a 5 and the food was almost a 5. Mine was a bit salty. I noticed that Puerto Rican restaurants don't have salt shakers and that typically the food is under salted, my preference. One dish was too salty and the other was meh. My partner loved his meal here. read more

Ok. We stayed in this hotel (O:live) and ate at this steakhouse last night. What an incredible meal! Plenty of flavor, variety and portion. Highly recommend if in San Jaun. The sister hotel OLV 55 is spectacular. read more

Restaurant was empty on a Saturday which Was strange. Staff was but food was just ok. Restroom was out of order and the only bathroom was on the fourth floor and oh by the way the elevator was broken. Walked 4 flights to use the bathroom and the toilet didn't even flush. read more

I have dined at Sage three times. It is located on a side street off of Ashford Ave in front of Condado Vanderbilt Hotel. Intimate surroundings and seats under 40 patrons. I have had the Tomahawk Steak all three times. It is delicious but suggest you order your steak under cooked because they have a tendency to overcook the meat. Appetizers are inventive and unique. Wine list is adequate. read more

Yes - just yes... Start off - warm popover with fig sea salt butter House cab - really really smooth Appetizers- crab cakes, sliders, wedge salad - all superb Steak for two - cooked perfectly and removed from the bone and served with the bone - simply fantastic. Veggies ordered off menu were also amazing. Decor beautiful and waitstaff attentive and extremely well trained. I can't wait to go back!!! read more

This was an amazing meal two nights in row. The rooftop has a wondrous outdoor space. The views can be nice if you catch the right seats. We tried the lamb burger and their signature pasta dish. We ordered the same the next night. The staff was impeccable. Try the drinks, you might just say wow... read more

This is a fantastic steakhouse in Condado that is cozy and quaint with Sinatra playing in the background. The Ahi Tuna pops for an appetizer were really good with a great flavor. The prime filets we're perfect and perfectly cooked. The sides of Brie Mac n Cheese plus a bacon onion risotto were both great compliments and soooo flavorful!! read more

Overpriced and rude. Steak overcooked and full of fat veins. You're better off going to Rare 125 in Miramar.

The food in this restaurant is outstanding. Portions are a little on the small side but the quality of the food is just amazing. I loved every single dish. The Tuna crab lolly pops are amazing. Beef tartare is ridiculous and need sliders are out of this world. Serving from all was fantastic. Enez (sorry if I spelt it wrong) was great and Joe made great cocktails. Try it. You will not be disappointed. read more

Extremely expensive for service and miniature portions. $15 valet was not included for 2 hours. Watery Drinks. Great atmosphere and relax. Restroom in the lobby do not match for luxury intention. read more

Ambiance is romantic, quaint. Service was attentive. We corked a bottle of wine per a recommendation we read from a fellow yelper. I ordered a Bloody Mary which I sent back Bec it was sweet. It came back sweeter. Filet & truffle Mac and cheese was very good. Mashed potatoes were dry- do not recommend. Stuffed shrimp & chopped salad was good. Shrimp cocktail is not shrimp cocktail. More like a shrimp salad made w some type of creamy base. It's not light. We were happier with our dining experience at BLT when it came to a steak place. read more

Sage Steak Loft - Puerto Rican Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

This was a highly anticipated and special experience that was mixed with sheer disappointment. We were excited about the meal we would have based on the beauty and fine detail of the hotel, especially the exemplary service by Wanda. Sadly, Sage did not compare. Our waiter lacked the necessary skills for the high price tag of the menu. His inexperience was even more obvious when we needed to return our $40 ribeyes because they were over cooked...and not just a little. (Ordered rare, received well done!) Although this was corrected, our other sides were left to "warm" which caused our green beans to wilt and burn. ( the mac and cheese was outstanding though) The manager ( who was present) did not even attempt to come to our table or apologize to us for the error. Spending this type of money deserves more attention to detail.... a free dessert? No thank you! read more

SAGE Steak Loft, Just Good, not Very Good and definitely NOT Great! I went to Sage Steakhouse for a celebratory dinner with my wife. I had high expectations but was underwhelmed by the overall experience. We had the "Black Truffle Burrata" as an appetizer and it was actually good, the Basilico oil, Balsamico was a good start to the palate. My wife ordered the "Prime Filet Mignon" and I had the "Grass Fed Angus Ribeye", both were good but definitely not great, the "Bearnaise" and "Rioja Reduction" sauces were not even offered, our sides included the "Pesto Gnocchi" and the "Trottole Porcini Mac" which had good taste but were not memorable in any way. The only parts I would describe as Very Good was the service which was well timed with humor and a welcomed attitude towards our questions or comments and the "Tiramisu" desserts. A few things that bothered us a bit. The dining area was limited and dark, seated next to some unpleasant smelling ropes, and the option of dining on the terrace was denied when they informed us it was for "drinks and appetizers", so all the nice views you see on the pictures of the terrace were not available to us. The Valet parking was $15 plus tip, and in essence they just parked my car on the street (STK Steakhouse was $10 using the Vanderbilt hotel Parking lot). My last grievance is that the suggested tip percentages are based on the total price after taxes, inappropriately inflating the tips, something that always annoys me and consider unwarranted. read more

Just ate at this newly opened restaurant "Sage" in the Olive boutique hotel. The food was excellent, as was the service. Our table of four had the filet mignon, churrasco steak, and several appetizers. The churrasco was the best entree, but the filet mignon was very good as well. Great rolls to start that were popovers with little pieces of crispy pork baked on top. For appetizers, both the "cut" shrimp cocktail and the steak tartare were delicious. Great sides as well. The bar was also excellent - I recommend trying a rum old fashioned with Zaccapa. Many in our party had cosmos, and they were perfect. The web site of the hotel needs to be updated, as this new restaurant replaces the now closed Oliva. But if you're in Condado, check this one out. Also, the rooftop bar is a great hangout spot after dinner with beautiful views of the lagoon and surrounding area. read more

The Olive Hotel's restaurant - really nice decor, good service and ambiance. It doesn't seem like it has a lot of seating and probably gets crowded, though. The food is pretty good - we had the crab and ahi tuna pops (a little salty, but good flavor) and the yucca gnocchi (really tasty). read more
