About the restaurant

True to its name, the Chef’s Table feels gloriously indulgent, inviting lucky diners on a hedonistic journey encapsulating Antonio Pérez’s life in Puerto Rico and his culinary career across South America, Europe, and Asia. The setting feels intimate and wildly special, with just 12 seats surrounding the open kitchen, complemented by a lounge area for a welcome cava before dinner or a post-tasting menu digestif. The themed-driven five-course menu changes monthly along with its wine pairing.
This is not merely another dining experience; it’s an intimate journey through the heart and soul of a Puerto Rican cook and his global culinary influences. Do not reserve a number of diners higher than desired, in our kitchen everything is prepared for all confirmed reservations, as such, we will regard it as a no show who has failed to comply with the reservation. If you wish to cancel your reservation, please give us at least three day’s notice. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

About the restaurant

“SUR” is derived from the curiosity of wanting to explore, venture, feel, know, understand and experience the unknown. It comes from the desire to contribute and create awareness; It is the recognition of the differences that unite us; It is the respect we owe to nature that drives this desire to tell stories through sensations. If as a team we manage to bring an experience so extraordinary that you left with a smile, then we have completed our mission.

Incredible meal! We went with the chef’s choice and even my picky husband loved the food. To find the place, there is no sign but a bench out front and a poster of a governor hanging across the street. And they keep the door locked since there is no room for standing inside—don’t be dismayed, they’re quick to see you and open it.

Our rotating, seasonally-inspired plates—from the most simple to the most complex dish—encourage wellbeing: of our bodies, minds, and soul. Nature, art, the lyrical essence of our island, the aromas, and our colorful, intense Caribbean heritage are all imbued into every element of our cuisine. We proffer an escape through a festive, gastronomic journey that reinterprets Puerto Rican cuisine through a bold new narrative of fortitude, tenacity, and, of course, taste.

Unbelievably delicious food. Certainly the best of our trip, and we had many exceptionally good meals. Started with the hen broth—just perfect. Then our entrees were ones we’ll talk about for years. The snapper had a sauce that I cannot describe—maybe chocolate or coffee flavors, but really savory and spectacular. The casserole was one the best dishes ever.
