We arrived by recommendation of a local. We were greeted and seated at the balcony area which gives you a beautiful view of the ocean. The bartender Rafael was very helpful with cocktail selection(which were amazing) which we enjoyed with a few appetizers. The Jose Taco and the dumplings was one of the favorites. Great place and service, can wait to be back at PR and swing by!!!!!!

Specializing in Tapas and Montaditos, Condal is the ultimate in gourmet small plates. This little piece of Barcelona serves the highest quality cured hams and marinated fish on the island and a handful of lavish main courses like the made to order Paella

I decided to give this restaurant a try based on the reviews and because it was one of the restaurants participating on the Puerto Rico Restaurant week. We ordered the two different codfish dishes and one of them was tasteless. Also, the mashed potatoes tasted like the boxed mashed potatoes. Expensive dinner but not great. Will not return. We're terribly sorry to learn that our famous fresh homemade mashed potatoes and our fine codfish fillet (one of the most requested delicacies from our regular customers) didn't meet your expectations at our place. We prepare the fillets completely fresh, itâs not the salted like other versions, only fresh servings from the finest suppliers in town, ordered two times a week. Also, it would had been our pleasure to helped you with your plates at that moment, if they didnât meet your expectations. The waiter asked if everything was fine, because we are always looking to keep our guests satisfied. Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience, since the rest of our guest looking for the Restaurant Week specials were completely happy, we exhort you to try us.

This is a good place where to eat; it is better known for offering good breakfasts to guest at the La Concha Resort where it is located. I visited for dinner and found their offerings tasty, well presented, and in satisfying portions. The service was OK, and although you cannot call it an inexpensive joint, it is not a pricey locale either.

Food is delicious but was hard to find. My gps kept putting me in front of the governorâs home. Luckily I popped my head in a random building with security and the gentleman there pointed me in the right direction. I donât think I would have found it if it wasnât for his help. So happy I found it, the stuffed avocado was unlike anything I ever had before-the crab and shrimp was perfect. Only critique, the tostones could be a little bigger. My whole trip I had tostones the size of my palm whereas these were the size of the bottom of a small soda can. The kids meals was delicious, my son was over chicken nuggets and order the steak which he devoured! That has never happen before so I know he loved it. Great service and staff, everyone was very friendly and helpful!!
