Had dinner at Sama my first night in Luquillo. It did not disappoint. While the menu is somewhat limited, my friends and I all found something that appealed to us. My husband loved the vegetarian Aloo Gobi. I loved the halibut with potatoes, peas and mushrooms. Friends got veal schnitzel and some Italian dish. Service was great. Got to meet Sama's resident cat. I can't wait to return. Oh and try the Smokey Waves for a cocktail. It was phenomenal. read more

As a solo diner, I typically sit at the bar. Unfortunately, the first bar stool felt like it was going to fall apart. I moved over. The bartenders were friendly, and I was expecting the prices, and the reviews were great. However, I was not expecting a 4oz pour on a $12 glass of wine. I would recommend a measure and 6 or 9 oz options and different price points. In anticipation of the cost of a meal, I was not willing to order an entree after feeling cheated w/beverage so I ordered the $24 clam appetizer. They were gracious enough to prepare w/out pork. The clams were larger than my normal American experience. The broth was amazing! The bread, however was soft and not dip worthy. It had a great flavor for a meal, but the broth w/clams requires a more substantial consistency and crunch. Overall, $50 for 4oz of wine and 6 clams was quite a disappointment. I couldn't eat the 7th one. It was very large and not quite cooked enough. Overall, great atmosphere. Happy Eating! read more

Overall a pleasant dinner experience in a nice Caribbean open air restaurant. Great location, tastefully decorated space with an elegant ambiance. The food was tasty, but a little inconsistent. Some of the dishes needed salt, some acid, some were fine dining quality, some were just ok. Presentation was beautiful, though. Our main course, the grouper, was absolutely excellent, and it was our fav course. There were a few hiccups along the way and our waitress was new, so service was a little rocky, but I am sure that will get ironed out. Giving 5 stars, because it's much better than anything else in the area. read more

Sama Bistro - Aguachile and Caesar salad - Bars Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

The food was amazing I ordered the cauliflower special and it had so much flavor the only thing I would have wanted was for it to be bigger it was pretty small and it won't get you full so be aware. The tenderloin beef was amazing 10/10 with the potatoes It was easy to bite into. The aguachiles had a great presentation and fresh but it was pretty small. The steak and frites was good the fries were so good I finish them all the steak was alright when I bit into it I had struggled and it was pretty fatty. Lastly the elote ribs were delicious I wish I would've gotten a second order because it had to much flavor I do recommend getting it. Service was great the lady who accommodate us made us feel welcomed and kept checking on how our food was and if we needed anything else. Ambiance was amazing it's a rooftop bar and you can see the ocean right in front of you. I love how it gives tulum vibes. read more

Sama is the restaurant Luquillo needed!! I have lived here for almost 3 years and I was so excited when I first heard that they were opening. I went here for the first time opening week and was so impressed. Atmosphere: relaxed, inviting, and romantic ambiance; you're surrounded by the ocean view and breeze, warm lighting, and tropical music; the staff is so sweet and accommodating, you automatically feel at ease and welcome to stay a while. Chef Erika personally comes out to greet everyone and check how guests are enjoying the dishes. Table seating and bar seating make it great if you wish to dine alone, in a pair, or a larger group. Food: I will go out of usual order, but it's a must...BREAD PUDDING, get it. Thank me later. All of the dishes are so fresh, creative with textures and flavors, and delicious. Ask your server for the specials, I'm never disappointed when I do. It's fun to get a few appetizers and mains for the table to share. That way you get to try more dishes. If you're going for lunch, try the caesar salad and a pizza or the burger (my mouth is already watering thinking about this one). Drinks: I'm a tequila gal so I love this blue spicy margarita I had one night that was just a special but I hope they still have it...the tequila was infused and I can tell you that it was the best spicy margarita i've had on the island so far. Trust the expert. The smokey waves is also a great choice if you like the smokiness of mezcal and it has a foam made of chickpeas on top. I don't usually like Chardonnay but the Bread and Butter one they have really hits the spot for me. The other cocktails I haven't tried but they all look super fun in tropical drink-ware. If you're in town for vacation, Sama is a must. Make a reservation and come at 6 o'clock so you can catch the sunset. Experience: 10/10 read more

Everything was superb! Delicious appetizers and entrees, excellent service and beautiful ambiance!! Definitely would recommend

Hands Down the BEST restaurant in Luquillo! The food is so fresh, seasoned and full of flavor. I am not a fish eater but my husband ordered the Branzino and we went back the next night so I could order it. We also had the ribeye - so juicy and flavorful. The truffle fries -OMG!!! Even the vegetables were good with texture and flavor. I am shamed to say, BUT we went a third day for lunch so we could try their smash burger! Sooooo good - you know the huicy burgers with the cruspy edges on the bun! And lets not even talk about the service - its better than the food. Emmanuel is awesome and so is their manager Mike! If you are anywhere near Luquillo Puerto Rico - its a must for dinner. Great ambience as well - right across the street from the beach ! ENJOY! read more

The tomato salad and tuna dish were good. The rest of the food we ordered was way over priced for what it was. My spaghetti was something I could make at home easily with nothing that really elevated it enough to justify the steep price. The calamari was rubbery, although I liked the chickpeas in it and the sauce, the bread was stale and dry and so not worth what they charged when there are so many good bakeries in the area. I am willing to pay good money for food that blows me away, but this wasn't it. That said, the ambiance and view is really nice, the staff was attentive and friendly, and the cocktails were worth it. I would possibly give them one more try, but was overall underwhelmed for how much it cost. read more
