    The service is super and the atmosphere can't be beat. We ordered sushi which was mostly very good except one spicy tuna roll which didn't seem to be great quality fish.

    Since we went to The Lobby to dance we didn't have dinner there, just some French Fries later which were OK but not worth the $14 price. The drinks were good but way too expensive, although understandably so to help pay for the live music. The El San Juan Hotel's lobby is beautiful and the ambience is great. The music bands were very good although we would have preferred that the Latin music had started before midnight. After the danceable music began, we had a lot of fun!

    An evening at the San Juan is always memorable and euphoric, filled with laughter, the sounds of great music, and sightings of luxury and opulence. The ultimate in people watching. We ate at Caña, where we were served by Felix, a consummate professional and then sat at the bar accross from the sushi bar where Keith and Charlene treated us like royalty. El San Juan and all its professional staff will keep you coming back for more!

    I always tip 20% even if the service is below average , if it’s good I tip more However some of the staff here especially on the pool and the breakfast area are rude and ask for tips or bring up the tips, when they do that I leave a smaller tip or no tip - Guess what they did ? THEY EDITED THE TIP ON MY BILL

    Some other reviews suggested food can be slow to arrive but we had no issues. They were out of a couple of menu items but what we got was tasty. Our server, Lupe, was great. There was an event happening/being set up so that was fun to watch. It's a hotel bar at the Fairmont no less, so not cheap, but definitely convenient at the end of a big vacation day.

    The ambiance, music and decor is beautiful. The drinks were great as well but the food was not up to par. Plus they didn't mention they didn't have one item and just replaced those with more of others. I would have appreciated a heads up.

    The food was great except there were not that many options. If you love sushi it’s a great place. They will not make rolls for you unless it’s on the menu which was disappointing. The service was pretty bad our waiter was not the nicest and did not clear the table when our desert came and was annoyed when we ask him to clear the table.

    The open table menu shows half bottles of different spirits including Johnnie Walker Black Label 375ml for $50.00, I ordered it and the waiter Giovanni very nicely told me that he had to consult with the manager Shaquille Pagan, the manager Shaquille Pagan came to my table and instead of helping me started to harass me telling me that he won't do anything and treating me very disrespectful. I go there frequently and all I want is to have a good time. He ruined my date and my night.
