The chicken was a little overcooked, but everything else was excellent. The “Arroz mamposteao” was the best I have ever tasted and the goat cheese cake was out of this world.

Cana "Canya" is located on property at the fabulous old El San Juan, now operated by Fairmont. The public areas, both indoor and outdoor are absolutely charming. I did not stay at the hotel. The traditional Puerto Rican fare was amazing, the tostones and monfongo were fabulous, as was the tomatoe salad. my only complaint was the organic chicken breast, which was over cooked. I would have sent it back, but there was so much of everything else that we were more than full. The wine list is excellent and reasonably priced.

I ordered the pastel and my husband ordered the steak with a side of green beans. The pastel was tiny, 1/4 of the side of a regular pastel. I complained and waitress told me she would advise the chef. My husband’s green beans were undercooked so he couldn’t eat them. He did not return them because the wait to get the food was too long. Overall food was fine but not outstanding.

Overall, it was a great experience, though more guidance upon arrival would be helpful. If they're looking to enhance the experience, there are some areas for improvement, such as expanding the variety of the brunch. While the location is highly prestigious, Cosecha at the Marriott currently leads in comparison.

For $55 per person, we expected a VERY nice buffet. This was ok, typical brunch food , but nothing amazing. The omelette maker.is very.good as was our server, Gabriel. Coffee was great, served with.foamed up.milk. Some foods that should have been warm ( ie bacon) were cold. Other foods were very dry. Good fruit juices, some nice pastries, but little salad. About an hour afterwards, we both had upset.stomachs....could have been something else, but we will not be returning to this buffet.
