    This was a great dining experience with introductions to each dish by the chef himself . Very personal in a private dining room. Each course start to finish was delicious . You will leave very full! Highly recommend the coursed tasting menu. Wine recommendations were excellent as well. You will not regret it!

    We were on vacation/ I made reservations at the one in Canada by accident! Thankfully they had full service and a spot open at the bar. Our bartender was excellent and the food was delicious! Definitely recommend!

    Easily the best dining “experience” in Fajardo.. and maybe one of the best I’ve ever had period. This should be booked solid at all times but it’s still a secret. If you like tasting dinners, it’s criminal to pass this up.

    My husband and I visited the place for the first time. Food was outstanding!! We chose the 5 course menu at the wine cellar. Chef Rafael explained every dish in detail. His bakground as chef is remarkable. My only recommendation is to lower the salt level of the short ribs course. Service was awesome!. Overall it was a great experience! Will definitely return to this restaurant.

    WorkshopResponded on November 13, 2022Thank you so much for this wonderful review!! We will relay the message about the salt to our Chef. We appreciate you guys taking the time to mention the highlights of your experience and look forward to seeing you soon!!!

    We had the 7 course tasting menu , we asked to use the wine cellar room .. but we were only 2. They obliged and we had a great time. The wine paring only works if you have 4 people .. but we had the sommelier help choose our wine and the chef introduced each dish. The room is quiet , can be completely isolated with blinds. The restaurant is in their market and it sits within a gated marina. Great experience , local PR food but elevated. This was a gourmet meal. Expect to spend 3 hours for dinner which was fine for us since we were celebrating our 35th anniversary. 5 stars. Luda the manager served us and Rafi was the chef.

    Workshop at Alacena Bistro and Market is a continental fine dining experience within an upscale Marina Market. My wife and I went for my birthday and had Chef Rafael Alamo’s seven (7) course tasting menu: he offers the choice of three (3), five (5) and 7 courses. The dinner included an amuse bouche of Iberico and Manchego Fritters followed by Yellowtail Yuzu Citrus Sashimi; Compressed Watermelon and Fruit Salad with His interpretation of Green Goddess Dressing; Vegan Roasted Tomato Soup with a Spinach and House-made Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli; House-made Pumpkin Gnocchi with Grilled Lobster bites in a lobster/seafood sauce, topped with shaved Bottarga; Mahi Mahi with thin sliced Potato, Grilled Petite Bok Choy and Green Onion; Grilled Filet of Tenderloin and Miataki Mushroom served atop au jus and a purée of a unique Puerto Rican Celery Root they called Apio; dessert was a Carmel Bread Pudding made with caramelized Ron del Barrilito Puerto Rican Rum. Each course was presented by Chef Rafael with a description of the ingredients and a personal story of his inspiration for the dish. The staff includes a creative mixologist behind the bar and a General Manager who is an experienced sommelier. For groups of six they offer wine pairings with the meal. In addition to being a fabulous tasting dinner the Chef’s Table tasting menu is a very unique experience.

    We ate Alencena and it was pretty but windy since it is right off the marina . Make sure and bring a sweater . They had live music which was nice but also a bit loud . The food was good. Easy place for having kids at dinner too

    Although the servers were extremely kind and fun, their service (drink orders) was slow. The service from the kitchen was on time and the food was delicious. There's a good variety of wine and craft beers.
