The NYE "seafood buffet" was not worth the price. The vibe was nice and for the most part the food was decent (other than the seafood). The prime rib was nice with mashed potatoes and the salad was nice. However, the seafood you had to choose what you wanted (mussels, clams, shrimp, crab legs, and lobster tail). Once you chose they cooked it in some unseasoned water. The seafood was bland and my lobster tail was not cooked thoroughly which tasted like sea water. For a price tag of $400 I expected more. Also, the seafood paella was not the best. Not sure how you can mess up paella but it was accomplished. But... Our waitress was nice but the drinks were not impressive.

I understand this was a special occasion so prices will be exorbitant. But the food quality and choices were particularly poor for the price. Many times the dishes were empty so we had to come back. The desserts choices were also mediocre. But charging extra for sodas for. $160/person buffet is just pathetically cheap. Pina coladas were pretty good.

A mio parere il migliore ristorante di San Juan e dintorni. Prezzi ottimi rispetto a molti competitor dove la qualità del cibo è decisamente inferiore.

Ola Ocean Front Bistro Christmas Day Brunch was above expectations. Several stations with Puerto Rico’s favorite dishes. Appetizers, salads, side dishes, carving stations , omelet station, breakfast station with cinnamon waffles and French toast, bacon ect. my wife’s favorite THE DESERT STATION! Roasted pig was melt in your mouth delicious, roasted turkey done perfectly. The sweet plantain coated salmon was incredible, sorry could not eat more. Omelet chef created a delicious pork omelet special. I could not believe the fresh smoked salmon on the appetizer station, the best. Side dishes which included pork rice and beans several Puerto Rico favorites, that I would have loved to try, but there was so much. Did not have room, but the desserts looked to good. Carrot cakes, ginger cake, cheese cakes, a lot of different flavored and covered croissants, mousse and other small desserts. Cannot forget the staff who went above and beyond to make our brunch so special. Being from Massachusetts, had no clue about Ola, but hit a home run with this one.
