1919 Restaurant

Great service and great food.

Server Ivan was the best detailed and always attractive

well executed service. food was superb.

Excellent food and service. I would definitely come back

This place is outstanding! The service, attention to detail, food quality, decor, ambiance! We all tried the four course prix fixe choice. And your bread plate is never empty!! Will definitely come back when in town!

I feel I did not get my money worth.
1. The buffet did not have all the food i would expect for a $89.00 per person cost. Texas d Brazil and other Buffet high end restaurants serve more for less than $89.00.
2. I had to call the waiter many times to get served.
3. I was imposed a 20% tip or $120.00. (plus see number 2 above).

Mother’s Day

Williams y Jorge fueron muy atentos y simpáticos . El plato principal y el brunch estuvo espectacular, TDF!
Fue nuestra primera visita, de mucha por venir... ¡gracias por tan excelente domingo de madres! Les deseamos mucho éxito.

Wonderful experience, great service, they were attentive to every detail.

Service was outstanding. Remarkable dining experience.

We asked for the price fixed menu . Each of the 4 dishes included was exceptional including the desserts . The wine tasting was also very good as was the service . The amuse bouche and the petit fours were not that good but those are minor things . In general you could say that this is the best restaurant in Puerto Rico . Expensive but worthwhile .

Great service and food. Probably the best chef in PR

Exceptional food, service and ambiance... Superb tasting menu exceeded my expectations, fresh flavors extraordinary presentation and attention to detail.

Tasting menu and wine pairing are the way to go. Top service

The dinning experience was a great one. The service and level of attention by the restaurant staff was outstanding. The waiter suggestions and attention to details, made the meal very enjoyable and pleasant. The plate selection was very tasteful and balance in flavor.

This is a beautiful restaurant with outstanding service and food. They offer a course price fixe selection but you can order ala Carte off the same menu.’the beet salad and lobster salad are delicious. I enjoyed the Dorade.. it was mild and delicious fish.
The service is outstanding... don't miss the bread pudding! Superb...

Great food and ambiance

Best Restaurant in PR! Comparable to NY Best - Eleven Madison. Just perfect. Captain William - exceptional and Eugenio the bartender was excellent- best Cosmo and Martini💪! Will be back!

This restaurant is superb. Our server Wesley, and Luis made it all amazing. The food started a bit slow but once we spoke to Wesley it all changed. Food can at times be adventurous and the wine pairings once this happened were superb.

1919 continues to be one of our favorite places in the world for a dining experience. From helpful staff to a superb chef and a fantastic setting. I usually come once a year while traveling through Puerto Rico and it always delivers a superb evening.

Outstanding service and attention to detail. The ambiance was a beautiful mix of historic charm and elegance. The food was exceptional and I would recommend to anyone that is looking for a unique dining experience in San Juan.

Delicious food, attentive staff and great ambiance!

Great food. Attentive staff. Pricey, but I thought it was worth it.

Went for a birthday dinner. Wait staff was very nice, attentive, and efficient. Food was impeccable. Highly recommend!

Excellent service and attention to detail. Food was exquisite.

Very accommodating to my food allergies. Just a beautiful place! Staff is amazing!

The staff at 1919 succeeded in making the dining experience, in addition to the food, an exquisite adventure.

I highly recommend the restaurant for discerning guests of the Condado Vanderbilt, as well as people in the area looking for the melding of atmosphere, top quality service, and beautiful food.

Delightful setting in the Vanderbilt hotel. Elegant enough to allow for a formal dinner, but not stuffy, and relaxed enough for a family with well behaved young children to dine in jeans and a polo shirt. Service was impeccable with extreme attention to detail and a flow that was seem-less, without any awkward moments of lack of food, service, beverage refill, answers to our questions etc. One of the best meals we had over our week of nightly dining out out very nice restaurants in PR.

The restaurant is beautiful. The food is very good. My husband said his steak was one of the best he's had. The service was really great.

Service was impeccable, the food innovative and beautifully presented. Great wine selection. It was an incredible dining experience.

Excellent! We had a great time!!! The food was delicious and the service was impecable. Will definitely be back!

We have visited this restaurant a couple of times by now. Every time is a unique and great experience. Raul which has been our server a couple of times has remembered us every single time and he always makes our experience an unforgettable one. Thank you Raul!

Overpriced. Mediocre food. Slow service.

Cheerful and polite service at least.

Food could have saved the day but it was nothing special.

Excellent food and wine options. Great environment. Service was a little slow in taking care of our plates after we finish eating.

Service was impeccable, ambiance was awesome, food was fair, portions were minuscule, particularly the appetizers. Also the charge for corkage was a ripoff ($45).

Ivan our waiter was outstanding so was his helping staff so was our food. I would recommend this restaurant and the Vanderbilt hotel to anyone who was great quality service.

I wish there was a way to give 7 stars. 1919 is a special treat, if you want to show someone how much you care for them, this is the place to go. Service impeccable. Food prepared and presented perfectly. An experience you will remember for a lifetime.

An incredible ambience, great service and outstanding food. Must visit if you are within the area.

HIT and MISS

Last night we dined at 1919 for my wife's birthday. It was noted in my reservation. We were on time and promptly shown to our table. the table was in front of the wine cellar which is not really part of the restaurant rather in an alley way. MISS. I did not make a scene cause it was MKs birthday and she hates if I make a fuss. At the restaurant it may be a Puerto Rico thing but I felt like the waiters etc. spoke to me almost at times as if my wife was not with me. MISS. We did the price fix meal at $95 with the wine pairing at $70. Not cheap but worth it. It was not exceptionally busy but it did take a rather long time to get to the food. I will say the we loved the sommelier, he was fantastic. All wine pairings were spot on for the four course meal. HIT

We had the crudo which was awesome, maybe best ever. Hit! Then we had Shrimp risotto and Lobster cavatelli which were absolutely amazing. HIT . BUT we waited nearly 30 minutes between the first course and second HIGE MISS. After asking the waiter what happened it was taken care of. BUT a second glass of wine and the shine on dinner went out the door. Third course was Tuna and duck which were both cooked perfectly and presented well. HIT. Fourth course was chocolate mousse which was really good and presented really well. HUGE HIT with a 20 year tawny port.

All of this was followed by a birthday dish of treats and a fresh glass of champagne. HUGE HIT.

Recommendation: I would go again but I would expect the service to be better. The food and wine were literally a 5 out of 5 . You should try it. It was worth it.

Luis and Ivan were amazing, such a warm welcome and outstanding hospitality. Definitely enjoyed the 4 course tasting menu, will be back again!
