    The server wine recommendation was perfect with the skirt steak combination. Malbec pair with “Churrasco” it’s just a pairing made from heaven. We also ordered Sorrentinos, made from Lamb and creamy pesto they were super delicious. For the last dish we ordered, fettuccine had a good taste. however, they were overcooked. Overall, great experience.

    Food was good, not outstanding, I find it overpriced. If food is outstanding the price would of made sense. La comida me pareció bien pero no sobresaliente para los precios. Hubiese la comida sido sobresaliente los precios se hubiesen justificado.

    La experiencia en general no fue igual de buena que en la localidad de Calle Loiza y Guaynabo. El Rest de Viejo San Juan queda en una zona muy concurrida por turistas. Los platos no tenían una presentación agradable como acostumbraba a ver en otras localidades.

    Very good food. I was charged for something I did not order. Waiter said it was included in the price of the main meal. It was not. The manager fixed the bill. Waiter did not come back. We suspect waiter added it on purpose and did not think we would look at the details. Very disappointed. How many clients were overcharged like this?

    I had seen this restaurant while in San Juan several weeks ago and the ambiance drew me in. Very nice decorated. the staff is very nice and caring. The quality of the food was great. They just need to organize staff a little more efficiently. I would return if I were back there. I was on the 2nd floor, perhaps the 1st floor may be better. Only one bathroom per person and per floor, so the line can form.

    The restaurant was lovely and our food was delicious. However, we arrive there at 6 o’clock were given menus and no one returned even with water until we asked a half hour later. Our waiter told us that they were slammed because of the festival going on in old San Juan. However, there were only 10 to 12 tables in the restaurant,so iIt seems to me that they should know how to staff the restaurant for the size of their establishment. When we complained, we were finally given service. Our food did arrive in a timely manner once our order was taken 50 minutes after arrivall. At the end of the meal, my husband asked for a cappuccino which was never brought. The waiter offered to make amends by giving us some shots or a glass of champagne which we were not interested in. I thought if he wanted to do something to amend, he could’ve offered to take off the price of our single dessert. We were there for my husband’s 70th birthday and didn’t appreciate the poor service in what seems to be a very upscale restaurant.

    Very nice atmosphere, great food and a broad menu, very nice staff. Overall 7/10 Unfortunately the restaurant could improve on some small details. For example, changing cutlery with each course, staff forgot one of our appetisers and drinks menu (but still were very nice) plate presentation was ok. If they want to be a fine restaurant, there are just a few small things worth improving but overall recommend.

    My friend and I were in San Juan for a long weekend and found El Viejo Almacén after extensive research to pick dinner restaurants, and we were most pleased with this venue. The service and ambiance was impeccable and the food was fantastic. There was a protest going on outside, by no fault of the restaurant, but the staff was attentive and alert to make sure there were no disruptions in service or experience. It truly was a wonderful place to dine, and we will be back.
