- MMarkPhiladelphia County •58 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat place to eat. Bit pricey but the salmon and lobster soup were superb. Highly recommend this restaurant. I was a little apprehensive after reading some reviews but it was quickly dispelled when I got here. We sat outside and watched the sunset. Our waiter, Felix, was one of the best servers I have encountered in my travel - very cordial, knowledgeable about the menu items and very interesting to talk to about the restaurant and San Juan. For dessert, get the crème brûlée. It’s tremendous how all the items mesh. We really enjoyed Cana.More infoCAÑA - Fairmont El San Juan HotelPrice: Expensive• Puerto Rican• Isla Verde / Carolina•4.1

- KKathyVIPMinneapolis - St. Paul •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe had a great dinner! During the reservation process I mentioned a birthday in our party and ask for greeting upon arrival that didn’t happen. And was surprised that there wasn’t a complimentary dessert. That said the food was fabulous! Beautiful setting. Love the red wine glasses! Love the orange and green bathrooms!More infoSantaellaPrice: Expensive• Puerto Rican• San Juan•4.8

- GGordonCaribbean •6 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 20, 2024I’ve tried the rest, and this is by far the best and only authentic sushi and sashimi available anywhere in San Juan. You can taste the freshness in every bite. Sushi moriawase had Japanese conger eel, snow crab, scallops from Hokkaido, king salmon, Japanese sea bass, bluefin tuna, and more. The chef was very generous with bonuses as well. The service was exceptional.More infoToyosu Omakase & Sushi BarPrice: Very Expensive• Sushi• San Juan•4.6
