About the restaurant

True to its name, the Chef’s Table feels gloriously indulgent, inviting lucky diners on a hedonistic journey encapsulating Antonio Pérez’s life in Puerto Rico and his culinary career across South America, Europe, and Asia. The setting feels intimate and wildly special, with just 12 seats surrounding the open kitchen, complemented by a lounge area for a welcome cava before dinner or a post-tasting menu digestif. The themed-driven five-course menu changes monthly along with its wine pairing.
This is not merely another dining experience; it’s an intimate journey through the heart and soul of a Puerto Rican cook and his global culinary influences. Do not reserve a number of diners higher than desired, in our kitchen everything is prepared for all confirmed reservations, as such, we will regard it as a no show who has failed to comply with the reservation. If you wish to cancel your reservation, please give us at least three day’s notice. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

We are big sushi lovers and discovered Piñangó, a hidden gem that we will certainly visit again. It is very small sushi bistro in Caguas, but it is BIG in flavors! We were seated in front of the chef who was very sweet and explained to us all of our questions and informed us of the specials. All of our appetizers looked so good that we tried four of them: dumplings, fried chicken bao buns, fried eggplant, and the hamachi special. Not only did they look great, they tasted spectacular! We also ordered three different sushi rolls (can't remember the names) which were all wonderful. The sushi rolls were very fresh and the chef very creative. My husband and I will definitely be back and we surely inform our friends of this wonderful sushi bistro. Your palate will not be disappointed.

St Thomas

About the restaurant

Overlooking the aqua colors of the Caribbean Sea, our restaurant is regarded as the island’s most iconic location for dining. We feature a fully open-air dining room. Most tables offer unobstructed views of the Baye de GriGri, spectacular breathtaking sunsets, dramatic full moons rising, passing sailboats and landing seaplanes.

Unsurprisingly, seafood dominates our menu. Whenever possible we source fresh, local seafood caught off the shores of the Virgin Islands.

We hope our passion for sustainability is evident in the highest quality and freshest ingredients we use, including seasonal produce from local farmers.

Our extensive wine list was chosen to balance refinement with versatility and intended to pair well with every item on our menu.

Our Bistro offers a fun, lively atmosphere designed with a come-as-you-are feeling.

We combine culinary excellence with superb service and an exquisite setting, creating experiences and

What an unexpected treat! Hidden behind a wooden gate lies a beautiful oasis, peaceful and inviting. We enjoyed the Gourmet Experience of 5 courses, paired with wine. Each dish was presented under a glass cloche for maximum drama and excitement. Exquisitely presented and carefully balanced, each bite was exciting. What drew us to this restaurant was their both commitment to fresh, seasonal and local product and their willingness to accommodate food restrictions. As a foodie with a long list of allergies, this was important. At no point did I feel I was missing out on anything. I would include this in my top 3 dining experiences along side Bar Mut in Barcelona and Jose Andres in Miami. 10\10 would recommend.

First, Maria and the entire team were fantastic and the view for a sunset dinner is tough to beat. Everything we had was delicious and perfectly prepared, especially the Branzino for two. It’s the best Branzino I’ve ever had and I’ve had a few. Don’t miss the rum Negroni or the wahoo ceviche too. Cheers!
