1919 Restaurant

Normally, we visit this restaurant because have proven great services and food consistency, which is what most customers expect for what they pay. However, this time the service was too slow, could be because of the COVID-19 situation and the security measures adopted by the restaurant. Nonetheless, the overall seating at the table was 3-1/2, which I considered excessively for a couple. The place was busy, but they had enough employees working to provide outstanding services. Personally, I think that there are no excuses for a high-end restaurant that is competing with others in terms of prices, food, and location (i.e., walking distance), as well. We will give them another shot in a few months to try to see if the situation was solve. Until then, no recommendations. :-(

An excellent choice to fine dining in San Juan. It is majestic and the food is glorious!!!

Amazing !!!! One of the best dinnig experiences in the town ! ready to be back

The experience was amazing, the atmosphere was exceptional, but the food was very mundane. Everything was extremely salty. If they would have let some of the natural flavors speak for themselves, the entire experience would have been 5’s across the board.

Es uno de los lugares más elegantes y de cocina de buen gusto. Lo recomiendo visitar para una velada romántica, especial o simplemente una escapada de vacaciones

Went for my 10 year anniversary. Stellar price, menu, and service. One of the best places I’ve ever been to.

Outstanding! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Best fine dining experience ever!!!

As always. One of my favorite places in Puerto Rico. The old Vanderbilt Estate turned to good use.

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. Would come back there again.

Always one of my TOP choices! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The ocean view is amazing. The service incredible. The food spectacular. They did an amazing job with the Covid-19 protocol. We felt safe and very much at easy with the way the ran things. I recommend going eating there 110%

Great and delicious food. Excellent service. Raul and the whole crew were outstanding.

We visited 1919 few times before - this time service wasn't great as usual. Had to raise our hands a few time in order to get someones attention.

Food is delicious, but very small portions. Not for the big appetite. Very high end. Even if you went with the 4 course menu you won't be full if you are hungry, that said the food is delicious. Service is very attentive.

Great atmosphere in a classic hotel. Prix fix menu that not cheap but the food is great and as is the service. I always come a day early for a cruise out of San Juan, and I always look forward to dinner at 1919.

Fantastic food and service.

Birthday dinner was delicious, the service was lovely but wish I only ordered an entree and dessert! Chocolate Mousse was the BEST!

The service was excellent and the food was wonderful. I definitely would come back and highly recommend dining here!

The entire experience was amazing and top notch. From the beautiful view, to the amazing service, nothing was left out. We will definitely return!

Delicious dinner!

My husband and I made reservations based on the reviews and we were not disappointed! The greeting was warm, the view was spectacular (we booked early to catch sunset), and the service impeccable. We were treated like special guests! But the food! Every bite seemed more delicious than the last, I wish we could have tried more dishes. The stand out was the beef short rib with fois, just perfection. We also learned there is such a thing as pre-dessert! If you find yourself seeking a truly inspired meal in gorgeous setting, look no further than 1919.

Absolutely exquisite!

First time here - fine dining at its best - 4 course dining with amazing local sourced island foods! Fish preparations were outstanding! Wine list extensive if a bit overpriced - Best hotel dining on the island

Exquisite food, superior service, and an ocean view. All-around “worth it” experience.

Portions were extremely small in this tasting menu and some items were good but others were average. The main entree barely had any accompaniments. That said service and atmosphere was exceptional and 5 stars. Not a good value for the food and portions at $95 pp.

Service was warm yet super professional.
The setting felt plush without being pretentious.
The food was delicious and surprising. Even the cocktails had a good deal of creativity.
Even though it was expensive, I would go back there in a heartbeat.
As many times as I have been to Puerto Rico (my mother lives there), I had never been to the restaurant- now I will go whenever I am in PR

Perfect place and perfect food , love the ambience and the decoration !!

Outstanding food and presentation. The server, William provides an excellent service and help you with the selection of the dishes. Excellent for special occasions

So glad we had the opportunity to dine at 1919. The food was awesome and the service is impeccable. The four course fixed price menu gave us the opportunity to sample a little bit of a number of different items. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great experience! Attention to detail is their greatest attribute. The bread was so good! Never waited for anything to be filled. One of the top restaurant experiences I've ever had. Thanks!

Layers of flavour

.had we've we best the food ,service,servie d a staff superb ,venue beautiful

We absolute love doing the chef’s tasting with the prestige wine pairing. We have been here at least 6 times and it never disappoints!!!

Fabulous restaurant. Unique eating experience. Luis, the sommelier, is a treasure. This is not a jeans/shorts/flipflops restaurant. Dress appropriately.

A stellar experience... service was excellent and food was both interesting and extremely well executed. One vegetarian in the group was well accommodated and loved her dishes. Strongly recommend

We were visiting Puerto Rico from NYC and wanted to try a few different of the highly rated restaurants in San Juan. We went to 1919 on our 2nd night and had a wonderful time. Great food and service. The room was beautiful. Shout out to our waiters Raol (SP?) and Jeffery for doing a great job. We will definitely go back next time we are in PR.

I recommend the 2 raw crudo dishes to start!

Unbelievable meal - expensive but worth the cost. Service was impeccable, food was delicious and imaginative, sommelier was generous and wonderful.

This restaurant was fantastic. We were there for the Valentines Day tasting menu and everything was delicious and the service was impeccable.
