    This is no doubt our favorite restaurant in old San Juan. Their lobster risotto is simply incredible, we shared it along with a Caesar salad and that was plenty. Our service was fantastic, and we love the atmosphere!

    The Cave is a beautiful restaurant that has a lot of room for each table, it seems every table has a room of its own making it super comfortable and feeling like you almost have the restaurant for your group. Music and food was wonderful and served in a timely manner. The chairs are super comfortable and the tables are beautiful made of nice carved wood, the black and white checkered floors are very Old San Juan vibe. Two thumbs up !!
