    ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! This was my first time dining here, as I usually visit Cocina Abierta when I’m in San Juan. When I found out my go-to spot was closed for the day, I was disappointed—but they recommended their sister restaurant, and I’m so glad they did! To be completely honest, I wasn’t expecting much, but I was blown away. The food was simply outstanding—bursting with flavor in every bite. Since I was dining alone, I let my server choose my dishes, and every single one was a delightful surprise. Beyond the incredible food, the service was truly exceptional. The staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. Their passion for hospitality and attention to detail elevated the entire experience. The whole evening felt like dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant, and I can’t wait to return. This place is an absolute MUST-TRY!

    We had a great evening, not only was the food very good but also the service, Emanuel, our server was super simpático. The place is small which makes it very cozy, look forward to going back.

    Creative farm to table food with a southeast flair; delicious and easy to share. Wonderful warm service. Delicious cocktails. Very small so it feels like a neighborhood place. A new favorite.

    This was a highlight of our time in San Juan. We loved how inventive, health conscious and absolutely delicious the chef's tasting menu was. The drinks and desserts were also divine. Don't hesitate to make a reservation here (you will need one as the space is intimate, ensuring that you will be well cared for by the lovely staff.)

    Leave Juan Camilo to select your plates, guide your meal and set the mood. The staff is amazing and definitely should start it off with some cocktails; Their Negroni and Paper Plane renditions with their own infused liquors are to die for. First appetizer, Asopao with Bonnaire Champagne BTG that went perfect to open up the palate. Then order a bottle of wine to try the whole menu! You need 3 to 4 people to do this.Portions are great, flavors are delightful and the presentations are outstanding. Thank you Chef Massa and Chef Luazo! New favorite spot.
