    This place is THE BEST in Puerto Rico. My family and I went back to this place 3 times on our vacation. The atmosphere is great, the live music, the service is very high quality, the food is some of the best I've ever tried. Thanks,

    Terrible service. They didn’t honour our OpenTable reservation. They “luckily” had a table but it was by the entrance with a speaker blasting music at us. 15 minutes of being completely ignored and so we left. I would not recommend this place.

    I apologize about the music but been Christmas we are extremely busy and have live music , if it was not of your liking you could just contact the manger at that time and we could have see how to accommodate you. And giving a review of this level when you did not even tried our food.

    We waited over 1.5 hours to get drinks and 1 appetizer. We waited so long we didn’t even order an entree. Just paid for the cold appetizer and water down drinks and left. Would not recommend this place. If I could I’d give it a negative star

    The cave was perfect for a Christmas Eve dinner for our family of nine. We were well taken care of, no mistakes on our orders, and the food was delicious. The wait staff was super kind and accommodating. We were the last people in the restaurant and they were so sweet and did not rush us despite it being noche buena… We cannot wait to go back!

    Marcel was an awesome waiter! He was so friendly and helpful. Everything we got was so yummy. Fried cheese appetizer had a wonderful guava salsa that we literally licked clean. Cuban sandwich was like the ones I grew up eating in Miami! The pork mofongo was very flavorful. Arroz con pollo was excellent. All the food was fresh tasting and very good. Would definitely recommend. A little pricey for locals maybe, $100 for dinner for 4 and one person had an alcoholic drink, the rest had water. It was 👍🏻 great overall.

    Great experience overall. Tasty dishes, excellent cocktails (we happened to arrive during happy hour, which is generously from 3-7pm!) and excellent service - shout out to our waiter, Chris!! Definitely a great spot if you’re visiting San Juan!
