Conversations from table to table and people saying hi along the way. Service was A++++. Never had to ask for a refill. The food was unbelievably good and plentiful. You have to share. There's no other way. From beginning to end... the sautéed octopus, calamari, the crunchy veal chicharrones, carpaccio, presentation and flavors were hard to beat. For the main course we went with prime rib and churrasco. Wow!!! Melt in your mouth deliciousness. Wish I had taken other pictures, but suffice for you to judge based on the dessert pictures. The baked Alaska was melt in your mouth delicious!!!

Al preguntar, confesaron que no usan churrasco, sino carne de guisar. Al recuperar la respiración. opté por la lasaña de carne de res. La carne molida, muy buena si la ponemos en la lista de platos criollos. Luego de forcejear un buen rato con los hilos de queso suizo, realizarás que no estás en Italia. No puedo recomendar un menú que no respeta las tradiciones ni los ingredientes principales. Quizás el error fue no haber tomado suficiente vino...

I also had 2 cold espresso martini which were perfectly crafted! The only thing I would say is that we had to ask for water at least 3 times before actually getting it.

This hidden gem was a 10 minute ride from the resort I stood at while in PR, I only regret not…read morehaving come across it sooner. My boys and I decided to walk the shore with the intentions on trying one of the restaurants alongside the beach for lunch and settled on this spot after seeing their ratings. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which was a huge relief given we were in much need of AC. The place wasn't crowded but it had its share of people- deff looked like a popular spot for the locals. Staff were welcoming and seated us promptly. The menu is extensive with so many options to choose from it made it hard to pick. I decided to leave it in the waitresses hand to suggest an app and entree for myself. She recommended the mini acapurrias that came paired with a guava sauce and the shrimp mofongo made from a mixture of sweet plantains and tosotones-it was mouth watering good. I'll have her to blame for the longing I'll have to endure of such an incredible dish. I have personally never finished any mofongo but this one I damn bear licked the plate. The shrimp was juicy, fresh, the garlic not overbearing. The amount of caldo was just portioned so as kiss the amount of mofongo served. My kiddos loved the mini alcapurrias. They were crisp, hot and paired deliciously with the guava sauce. My eldest had the churrasco which he described as being juicy and tender and my little guy had the chicken tenders and fresh cut fries which were a treat. I would absolutely - more like religiously- would return to this spot.

We even met the chef who was so kind! We got the yuca fries, bone marrow, fava bean tacos, oxtail cannelloni, duck, mahi mahi, black cod, vegan special, chocolate cake, and coconut sorbet! Everything was to die for except the bone marrow which had a super small portion size. The free bread was also amazing! Probably one of the top 3 free restaurant breads I've had. Will 1000000% be back next time I visit PR!

Luckily we saved it for…read morelast so wasn't disappointed by the other restaurants but MELAO was one of the best experiences we ever had anywhere. I liked the jovial yet professional service but the food is what made it great. Started with a tuna tartare daily special recommended by the waiter, it was great. Many layers of flavors and the tuna and avocado was fantastic. I then had the ribeye (the smaller one, at only 20 oz :-)) and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. For those who haven't seen my other reviews, I've been to hundreds of the best steakhouses, from NY to Chicago to Las Vegas to London, and while this wasn't a steakhouse it was fantastic. A nice think ribeye, perfect marbling but they also got the medium rare exactly as it should be, with an incredible char on the outside. I would fly back to Puerto Rico just to have this steak again. I also liked the crispy brussel sprouts and the asparagus were excellent, larger portion than you get elsewhere and nice thick asparagus. Finished with the I think 7 layer coconut cake, which I thought was the nicest dessert (split it with my wife's key lime pie, also good, and daughter's carrot cake donuts). Can't wait to go again.

The couple who ran the space were very attentive and provided amazing service. The menu is small but is filled with great options - pro tip you must try the grouper. It was the best cooked fish I think I've ever had and I was happy to see they had local fish on the menu. We split a main dish, salad, and potato dish and left so full (unfortunately too full for dessert) The seating area is a covered patio space lit up with muted lighting and candles. With it being off the beaten path there weren't many people dining with gave it a more intimate feel. Most people are either staying in the bed and breakfast on the grounds or local to the surrounding neighborhoods. The view looking towards el Yunque made for a fantastic backdrop to watch the sky change colors with sunset. You won't regret a night here, a must stop if you're in the area!

Waited 20 minutes for drink, 40 more minutes for a salad: wilted cucumber salad, another 90 minutes for a raw rack of lamb. That unacceptable rack was replaced with another underdone rack..all gristle, no meat. I also paid for soggy fries -- again, with false visions of crispy frites. Funny enough, I didn't have to wait long for the check that I asked for after the 2nd rack presentation. My lovely Uber driver (returning back to my hotel) offered to take me to dinner-- knowing I must be hungry. No need...I have some leftover pizza.
