This is by far my favorite place in San Juan! The view is spectacular and the food is amazing! We almost overlooked this place because it is a little hard to find nestled in a Courtyard Marriott. Even when we called we got a little bit of a run around because you get routed through the main number. Even that said I would still highly recommended this restaurant. The wait staff works as a team and they tell you upfront. Everyone was really nice and their recommendations were excellent! Great place to get seafood.
I went here for New Years Eve. I loved this place! The atmosphere is casual/fun. Our waiter was soo nice and great too! This place is probably more of a lunch/small bites place. I am not super roasted whole pork person so this probably wasn't the best choice. But I did have the root vegetable soup which was exceptional and the pigeon pea rice is delish. I would also recommend getting the green plantains instead of mash potatoes of a Puerto Rican spin.
So this came as a recommendation from one of the bartenders at the Hotel/Casino I was staying at. He said this as authentic Puerto Rican cuisine.
I would say that atmosphere is fantastic! Both inside and out is great for people watching. The service here is outstanding and the wait staff is very accommodating. We got a mix of the appetizers which was great for a group. We also had the monfongo which I thought was pretty authentic.
Tip: Get a reservation in early.. the wait could be 1-2 hours minimum on a weekend.

Loving this place for the location! It is right in the heart of old San Juan. Great place to grab a drink and hang out at the bar. The staff is really friendly and helpful. Plus the drinks are yummy and strong. Definitely of the caipirinha and mojitos. Add croquettes and you have a great little afternoon or evening.
Cannot beat the view! I would given this place a 4 purely based on the view. But add in the slow service and the fact that their menus drastically changes depending on what time of day you come. I rated this place a 3. I got there maybe 5 or 10 minutes after the lunch menu. So got the snack menu which was OK but there was not sandwich or salad. I was also disappointed by the wine/champagne menu. We had ordered a bottle and it was not in stock.
Tip: Figure out when lunch or dinner is served. Pass on the snack menu!

This is by far my favorite place in Hoboken! I'm a huge fan of the decor and atmosphere. It is so clean and modern. There are also small hidden TVs for people who want to watch sports games.
I love just hanging out at the bar trying samples. Food is excellent!!!!! Tip: If you are going on the weekend definitely make a reservation

Cute place to grab a drink and have a convo. There is a cute fireplace with candles in it in the back. If they happen to have your football game on the big screen you are in luck.
Cons: Food service was slow. I ordered the dumpling appetizer and it took over 20 minutes to get. At some point on Sunday night they turn off the football game sound and put on music.

Neighborhood: Theater District
I am giving this place two stars because the staff was nice and the garlic bread as unbelievable.
The seafood however was a different story. I was completely disappointed that there wasn't a raw bar. Like the one displayed in the window. I got Manhattan chowder soup which was under seasoned. Also tried the New Zealand mussels which ended up being really dry and tasteless. Also got the clams casino and mussels which were mediocre.

Love it! Best time of the year to go is summer. The outdoor bar is amazing..... A tad bit crowded outside but since it is outside and covered who cares.

If you are going for good Thai food probably not your best bet. I would say if you are going for a drink and some people watching. This is the place to be.
