   Muy amables, servicio rápido . La comida (aunque menú limitado por las Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián ) estuvo deliciosa.

   1/5 Stars - Extremely Disappointing Birthday Experience I'm extremely disappointed to share my disastrous birthday dinner experience at [THE CAVE]. Despite booking a reservation and explicitly mentioning it was my 28th birthday, the staff seemed completely uninterested in providing a memorable experience. From the start, our reservation seemed to hold no value. We waited 30 minutes before I had to take the initiative to inform the waiter that we were ready to be seated. Another 30 minutes passed before our order was finally taken. The food was a catastrophe. I ordered a "well-done" steak, but what I got was a bloody, undercooked disaster. The rice and beans were clearly reheated, lacking any freshness or flavor. The only redeeming quality was our friendly and attentive waiter, who seemed to be the only staff member who cared about our experience. To add insult to injury, despite mentioning my birthday in the reservation, we received no acknowledgement, no cake, no song, and no special treatment whatsoever. Overall, my birthday dinner at [THE CAVE] was a complete disaster. With poor service, subpar food, and a lack of attention to detail, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

   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 !!
