This place was awesome, we went for a bachelor party and the service was fantastic. The porterhouse and the tomahawk steaks were delicious. Would recommend this place for a fun night out in San Juan!

We went on Vday not knowing the menu was a fixed menu. Honestly felt like that should’ve been mentioned or advertised. When we arrived and was seated we were not acknowledge for over 10 mins! No water, or drinks was offered. They brought our appetizers and still no drinks were giving. I had to ask about it for them to acknowledge the facts that we had no drinks. Our last straw was when our waiter brought our steak and told us “ we have no steak knifes” and walked off. Another 10 mins passed so we decided to ask another waiter for knifes and he brought it with no hesitation! Our steak was cold tasted horrible sorry to say so we told them we’re leaving.

We went for San Valentine. There was a prix fixed menu. Chose the steak hoping that it would be good being a steakhouse but meat quality was poor. It was a big piece of meat but hard and chewy, not tender as expected. Would have preferred a smaller portion of a high quality steak cut and without any sauce or sauce served on the side in case you don’t like it. Service lacked attention. Too expensive for the quality of food and service received. Probably won’t come back.

We arrived for our reservation at 7:30. Upon arriving we were told to wait a second as the host/server felt with a complaining customer. (That should of been our cue to just leave) we proceeded to take our table.
View and ambiance was nice. This place has potential. Our server came over and took our drink and appetizer order then basically disappeared. We noticed him sitting at table just texting on his phone. We had to stand up and walk over to tell him we wanted to order food. The food was OK, not gonna lie.
But the service was terrible. Maybe we got the bad crew. There were only three other tables occupied so it wasn’t as if they couldn’t provide better service. My bill was over $200 (two steaks and two beers and an appetizer) would definitely NEVER return.

Speaking of the food, everything looked of good quality and tasted good. There was a little confusion about the rice that had chorizo and I'm allergic to pork. We simply notified the waiter without demanding anything in return and the only thing that was heard from the kitchen was "seriously he is saying it now”. I personally understand that on future occasions comments and attitudes should be reserved or made at some point where the customer does not listen, specially when anything else was requested at any time, the only thing that was asked, was to remove the plate from the table.
