1919 Restaurant

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.

Celebrar San Valentín con mi esposo ❤️

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

Marvelous Valentine's menu with wine pairing. Comparable to many Michelin Stars' restaurants. Excellent service and ambiance. Gorgeous sea view. An evening to remember. Thanks to Chef Juan José Cuevas and his marvelous staff!

I visited the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel over Valentine’s Day weekend. I went to the restaurants on Valentine’s Day. The restaurant had a wonderful price fixed menu for the holiday that had a wine pairing option. It is a beautiful restaurant. The restaurant gave me a wonderful table. The service was excellent. The food was interesting and delicious.
Expensive? Yes!

We ordered a bar table and were seated in the lobby of the hotel. The food was subpar and oversalted. Definitely not worth $500 - would recommend elsewhere

Great experience

Spectacular experience for a special Valentines Day date.
Everything was over the top. The only one tiny minus is after my husband and I were offer table for at least 10 minute no one come over to give us menu, offer water or drink.We had to approach server ourselves but right after that from the beginning till the dessert we were offered an over the top service. Outstanding pre-fixed menu. Wagyu beef was to die for. So were: carrot salad, scallops, risotto and every little other thing on the tasting menu- we opted for both options (one with wine paring - excellent selection by the way).

We felt very special and extremely satisfied with the whole evening. Well done, 1919!!!

Outstanding ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful 4 course meal. Outstanding attentive service across the board, especially waiters Ivan and Jeffry. Duck breast and filet perfect medium rare. Gnochetti was a great choice for second course.

We had a great time. The food was ok for the price. The service was fantastic.

What a wonderful experience! Overall, we very much enjoyed this special dinner. The service was phenomenal, the best I've ever had. What wonderful waitstaff they have! Overall, I recommend this restaurant for its excellent service, delicious first and second courses, and beautiful setting.

A few issues we had: the third course (main entree), I ordered duck and requested medium rare, it came out very overcooked, it looked like a side of beef thinly sliced that had been sitting under a heatlamp for an hour. The taste wasn't very good either. I told our server and he immediately worked to fix the situation, sending me out another entree course (salmon), which was very good. However, this was after a bit of a wait for our entree after a rushed first two courses (I think the restaurant got busy after we arrived), so the meal was winding down and I was mostly ready to be done by then.

I think we ran into a small kitchen hiccup which made the night a bit less than perfect, but I'd recommend to others who are willing to spend for an amazing service dinner.

Anniversary

Beautiful space, nice people, smelled amazing and the lighting was perfect. Food was sadly not that impressive, some things were really good but for 300 a head you expect all aces in the deck. Wine pairings were excellent but not well described. Perhaps no som that night. A couple dishes were flat out disappointing and generally under seasoned or lacking sauce. Feels bad to write all this but...well it’s true. Go here but don’t get the big fancy tasting menu is all.

The food and the place were fabulous. Unfortunately the service was slow.
