My husband and I attended a Pharma Industry Seminar at Isla Verde Courtyard Marriott and on the second day ended up enjoying a wonderful romantic dinner ar Sirena Restaurant in front of the most beautiful beach in Isla Verde. I had a wonderful Tuna Tartare on a crispy risotto. My husyhad had watermelon Shrimp ceviche, both were amazing! As a main dish I had a Seafood pasta with shrimp and other seafood with Alfredo sauce, that was out of this world! My husband had Sea bass on a bed of mashed root and asparagus that he said was one of the best heâs had. Andres Mora, our server was great! The reataurant, service and environment really surpasses our expectations!!

All day dining with outdoor seating available.
Reviewed By NinaW2000
Very unusual for me to find a restaurant at the Ritz Carlton not in pristine condition. The server had us sit at a table outside that was full of hardened bird feces both on the chairs and the table. She did not even offer to clean it and it was pretty evident. We had to ask her to have the chairs and table cleaned before sitting. This is not what I have ever experienced at Ritz Carlton so I am sure they will get it addressed. The outdoors seating area was not well kept overall. I have stayed in this property before and plan to return since it is a great facility but I would like to see that improved if I am ever eating out there again. The inside part of the restaurant was fine and the food, of course, was very good. Dear "NinaW2000",I am very sorry that your restaurant experience was not what you came to expect. I already addressed your concerns with the Mares team to ensure the terrace of the restaurant is in pristine conditions. Thank you for your positive comment about the breakfast food.We look forward to welcome you back to the Enchanted Island of Rhythms and Flavors.Warm regards,Jackie VolkartGeneral Manager

Our visit to Caña was outstanding. The decor, the ambience, the food, the drinks, the service- all impeccable. We ordered the Mofongo with Pork belly in duck broth - Excellent, the Pulpo en Escabeche, the Codfish fritters & the Arroz Mamposteao de Gandules y Lechon - I canât wait to go back to PR to eat here again! Alberto provided the BEST service and many, many recommendations of places to see and things to do on the island. By the end of our meal I wanted Alberto to be my cousin, with whom I could take to the streets of Puerto Rico & party the night away - We miss you Alberto! With Love, the Negra with Blonde locs & the Troublesome Compañera Dear Guest, We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave such a glowing review.

The Reincarnation of Zest Grill room is simply delicious. They recently closed and came back as a steak house of sorts. The decor is still simple and relaxing. The music choices streaming were eclectic and had me singing in my seat as I swayed back and forth making involuntary sounds as I tasted each course. I know that the Raul and Juan can be trusted, so I put my evening in their hands and was not disappointed. Ended up with a seven course meal that was simply astounding. My favorite was the fish appetizer that the chef explained and finished tableside for me - gentle and spicy at the same time. I recommend that you upgrade your steak to be accompanied with the Foie Gras. Sinful food done right. My steak was tender, perfectly seared and sliced to reveal a medium rare luciousness. The Red wine reduction was simply fabulous.We AGREE, trust Chef Raul and Chef Juan! I will be sure to pass your words along to them and we look forward to serving you another amazing meal soon!

1. Pescao del Dia
Pesca'o del Dia Restaurant located at El Mercado de Paseo Caribe. Caribbean seafood, mixology, and the best ambience in San Juan.
Reviewed By ChefFresh
This may look like your typical neighborhood eatery, however, it is anything but! We were staying at the Vanderbilt Hotel and tried all of their restaurants, and none of them compare to the food at Pescao del dia. Chef Ernesto is a true master and every dish was exceptional. I followed the recommendations of our server, Francine, and she was spot on! The Halibut was cooked to perfection and delicately seasoned with garlic and butter, the fried Chapin was a first for me and was absolutely delicious with a texture and flavor of both fish and rabbit. If available be sure to try it as an appetizer. Before the meal was finished we were already planning our return and next meal.
