Our favorite meal in San Juan. Boricua Lo Mein, Surf and Turf avocado, and cocktails were all delicious. Entrees were large and we could have easily shared.

We had a great dinner! During the reservation process I mentioned a birthday in our party and ask for greeting upon arrival that didn’t happen. And was surprised that there wasn’t a complimentary dessert. That said the food was fabulous! Beautiful setting. Love the red wine glasses! Love the orange and green bathrooms!

Excelent place with a wonderful ambiance. The service is good, considering that we are in Island Time, where nothing is done “quickly”, but worth the wait, because the food was delicious

We have a blast family day. The food was excellent and get you satisfied. Also the surroundings are breast taking. The tour around the Casona facilities en the golf movie was spectacular and the information giving by the driver during the ride was very informative about the others options of the Casona as the Gazebo, and place to stay over night. That day they was having a performer that was a great singer and play such a variety of rhythms and joyful music from around the world. The environment of In general this is a place that you should you to have the experience of a great quality food and service as well. I got there the best churrasco (skirt Steak) in my life with the of tostones de pana (bread fruit tostones or fritters) as complement plus a fresh salad. If I have to give a rate # it will be from a 1 - 10, have to be the top 10.
