    FANTASTIC! From the valet who parked our car to the bar tender sharing an exit cocktail with us. The staff didn't miss a beat. The food had so many levels of flavor and the Rum Fashioned cocktail was delightful. We throughly enjoyed our Mario Pagan dining experience.

    We arrived 15 minutes early as we decided to have a drink at their bar. The bartender was awesome. He recommended some drinks and also recommended some of the dishes that are popular. We had 2 outstanding drinks and dinner from start to finish one better than the next. Service was on-point. I would highly recommend Mario Pagan. You will need to make reservations ahead of time though. When we return to Puerto Rico we will be eating here again.

    Probably the best culinary experience in Puerto Rico! We were not aware of this chef until this visit...our fault. It is a little hidden though in a unassuming grey building. Heard he will be opening a new restaurant in La Placita de Santurce.... that will be amazing! The spring rolls were crazy good! The lubina and colirrubia were superb, as were the wines, malbec and rioja. We will be back!! Thanks team for the experience!

    We enjoyed our dinner for four last night. Although the decor is sparse and something, I’m not used to, everything was clean, and the food was the main focus. We shared several of the small bites, which consisted of four pieces each. They were all delicious. We also shared a salad and the Seabass, which is one of the restaurants’ specialties. It was so tender and light. A very nice portion for us to each have a couple of bites each. We had planned on ordering dessert, but just couldn’t. We were too full after a few drinks, the bread, and the items we ordered. Very memorable experience for us all. Our server, Mar, was attentive, energetic, and slightly sassy in a good way. She made our evening even more special.
