Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Rio Grande / Loiza

Fabulous first night of vacation dinner. Delicious Puerto Rican flavors in a casual, tropical atmosphere served by an unobtrusive but helpful team. The crab salad and the lobster soup were the standouts.

excellent experience from start to finish. our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations for appetizers, main plates and desserts. we had pinchos de atún and alcapurrias for appetizers. they were amazing. everything tasted so fresh and delicious. for our main plate, we had camarones con trifongo. the trifongo was delicious a little sweet and savory and then the camarones were huge in a delicious creamy garlic sauce. NO REGRETS! for dessert, I had the salted caramel pot. similar to a creme brulee but with salted caramel. it was to die for! the drink we had was delicious! we ordered the spicy paloma. you absolutely won't regret dining here!

wonderful ambiance for a date and were seated at a beautiful and comfy booth table. waiter and staff were all very attentive and courteous. food was delish... we had the pesto gnocchi and chicken carbonara 😋 also great location for taking an after dinner walk or sitting in the little plaza across the street for a chat

I had the best food of my life! My girlfriend and I went here to celebrate her birthday. Our server Melanie is very professional, knowledgeable and attentive, we are her biggest fans! They sat us at the corner of the restaurant which has a big couch with many cushions (ideal for taking photos for special occasion!) overlooking the restaurant. My girlfriend is vegetarian whereas I'm not, Melanie gave us the time to look at their menu, took the time to explain the menu, and recommended vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes to us. We did not feel rushed at all, it's nice to take the time to decide on what dishes we want to try, and enjoy the ambience of the restaurant. We chose the standard 5-course menu with wine pairing. I ordered the tuna tartare for my first course, as someone who grew up in Asia and have had Tuna in Japan, I'd say this is the best tuna I've ever had in my life, I still think about it sometimes... The raw tuna is very fresh and pairs really well with the chickpea sauce and cucumber yogurt. For the second course I tried the very popular truffle soup, it is made with pork fat so my girlfriend cannot try it. The soup is very good, the truffle smell and flavor is strong, but in my opinion I feel that the truffle is overpowered by the bacon dust and saltiness of the soup. For the third course I had the Japanese Cauliflower which is one of my favorites dishes here, the Cauliflower is cooked with miso, ginger and edamame. I love the rich miso taste and the amazingly seasoned kale chip on top of the dish. The chef Pete came over and said he prepared vegetarian surprises for us... we each had an extra course!! This is insane, we got the complimentary truffle risotto which is HEAVEN with extremely rich truffle taste in every bite. I got the halibut for the fourth course which was ok, and the chocolate dessert with 8 layers is out of this world for choco lovers like us! Towards the end Melanie even gave my girlfriend a beautiful handwritten bday card!

The food was expectacular!!! Personnel treatment was awesome!! It is a quiet place to have a good conversation with nice ocean view. I recommend this place to everybody. 10/10.
