I am more than happy to report that my visit to this restaurant on my actual 50th birthday was far beyond exceptional. From the moment we stepped out of our car to be created by the valets who were more than helpful, guiding us into the venue because it had rained and also because of the gravel already set the scene. As we ventured in the beautiful hostess, acknowledged our reservation and sat us immediately. There was a engagement party going on which basically was the overall patrons of the restaurant. In addition to myself and my friend. Are server, Daniela was absolutely providing the upmost of top-tier service. She knew that menu like no Other! She knew what menu options with cater to my taste, without even knowing me. Once the staff was aware that it was my birthday I can tell you that they made me feel like a queen. Even the other Patrone next to us were so complementary to myself and my friend. I enjoyed every bit of my meal and my most amazing French 75 that was prepared perfectly. The food was like a slice of heaven and then some. I highly recommend if you are traveling through Puerto Rico to make a stop in Condado at c’est la vie.

This was my second time dining here. I absolutely love their fettuccine Alfredo and the ribeye. Their sauce is the perfect balance of cream and cheese. The steak was cooked to perfection and really well seasoned. Everything was very flavorful. And the service was outstanding. Luis waited on us. He was very attentive, providing great recommendations and amazing service!

What a beautiful experience we had last night celebrating my mother’s 90 th bday. The attention from the manager Fabio was outstanding. Fabio went out of his way to ensure my mother and all of us were comfortable and having fun! América Quesada and her band was a class act’ They had us dancing all night! And celebrating my mom too. Last night was more than going to a bar , it was a memorable experience for all of us. Thank you
