    Visited Carnes Steakhouse this past Thursday and had an outstanding dining experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was attentive and professional without being intrusive. The ambiance was elegant yet comfortable, perfect for a special night out. The highlight, of course, was the steak—cooked to perfection, flavorful, and tender. The sides and wine selection complemented the meal beautifully. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches in the presentation and timing. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a top-tier steakhouse in San Juan. Will definitely be back.

    Exceptional steakhouse experience. The cuts were perfectly cooked, tender, and rich in flavor. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the ambiance struck a great balance between upscale and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone serious about good steak.

    Such a great place! The food was incredible — the skirt steak and the ribeye were on another level. Service was great; the server even gave us some advice on great places in Old San Juan. I would 100% recommend this place and will definitely come back when I visit Puerto Rico again.

    My husband's cowboy steak was inedible. My grilled shrimp was very good. No one but my husband and I were in the restaurant. I would not return.

    Immediately when you walk into the place there is so much smoke. I get it, it’s a steakhouse. However, the smoke was so much that my eyes were stinging and we all smelled like meat when we left. The vibe seemed nothing like the pictures. The furniture was low quality, the plates were basic, and the food was okay. However, for the price we paid, it was not worth it at all. The steak didn’t have much flavor, the caesar salad tasted more like a vinaigrette, and the rice was mushy. The appetizers were delicious though. I do think the place has potential! But for what a customer is getting, the prices need to be readjusted, and there must be some better smoke extraction. The servers were very kind and the chef was also very amicable. I feel bad having to write this review but the reality is that our experience wasn’t the best. We did mention this to the staff and they kindly gave us 3 lemon pound cakes (which they didn’t have to, but did out of kindness). To conclude, the place has potential but some tweaks are necessary.

    Review of Carnes Steakhouse If you’re a meat lover, Carnes Steakhouse does not disappoint. The steaks are flavorful, cooked to perfection, and served sizzling hot. The quality of the cuts stands out, especially the ribeye and tomahawk. Sides are generous, with the truffle mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus being standouts. The ambiance is elegant yet comfortable—perfect for a date night or a special family dinner. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings. Prices a Ok, but worth it for the quality and overall experience. Rating: 4.8/5
