Best Contemporary American Restaurants in San Juan

This had to be one of the top five dining experiences in my life! From the moment you walk into the door, you know that you are entering an intimate environment. Small and cozy, the decor albeit not at all traditional, is very warm and inviting. In the middle of the dining room toward the back is a lovely piano on top of which sits a beautiful large vase of flowers. The special treat is when the piano is played by the owner, Carli, with well known songs with a jazz interpretation - absolutely marvelous. The menu is totally out of this world and it was a most difficult decision on what to order - so many divine choices. We shared escargot served out of the shell in a creamy mushroom sauce, which we dipped the toasty garlic bread in, until it was gone. A unique and delicious twist on traditional escargot. The risotto with filet tips did not disappoint, nor did the Mahi Mahi in a soft curry sauce. Both choices were more than outstanding. The cocktails - oh the cocktails - so many elegant choices and if you enjoy a good wine, take a long look at the fantastic wine list. I don't know when we will be back in Puerto Rico but if and when we do go back, this will be the first restaurant I will make a reservation for. Highly recommend reservations.

For a Bachelorette dinner, it’s the best place to go and enjoy a fun night! I highly recommend it❤️

The Venue was amazing, service was awesome. The Medalla staff made us feel very welcomed. The party planner Ana Suarez did an amazing job accommodate our groups so we could all sit together. Our server Ozuna was on point with the drinks. We would love to come back next year. We came in a large group of over 20. The commercials are a big part of watching the superbowl. But Medalla decided to do raffles and quizzes instead. For the money we paid for premium seats we would like to have the full experience and enjoy the commercials as well.

Outstanding service and good food. Hard to beat the view. Highly recommended.
