Birds & the Bees$19.00
The classic white wine spritzer was invented in Austria as sparkling water came into fashion. Adding a squirt, or gespritzt, of cold bubbles to a glass of wine made for a stylish summer drink. As its popularity spread through the continent and across the pond, the German gespritzt led way to 'spritzer'. This modern spritzer invokes summertime relaxation and terrace living with Grey Goose and honey, a dash of lemon for balance, and an essential spritz of soda. Grey Goose Vodka, Honey, Lemon
Chai Tai$17.00
While the Mai Tai is a classic rum cocktail first served at Trader Vic's in California, the Chai Tai mixes things up with Mount Gay Black Barrel rum and Botanist gin. Pineapple and lime juices provide tropical sweetness, while a dose of chai syrup adds a warm and spicy complexity. Surprising upon first sip, the original recipe is left wondering where chai has been all its life. Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum, Botanist Gin, Chai, Pineapple, Lime, Angostura Bitters
Madame Fleur$23.00
The French 75, designed by Harry MacElhone of Harry's New York Bar in Paris, was named after the French 75mm field gun used in WWI. With that warning in mind, this cocktail begins with a mix of Bombay Sapphire gin and Hennessy VS, lightened up with soothing chamomile and a float of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label. Don't let the innocent lemon twist deceive you, this drink has power. Bombay Sapphire Gin, Hennessy VS Cognac, Chamomile, Lemon, Veuve Clicquot
Orange Trip$17.00
Before written on paper, the Whiskey Sour was created by Vice Admiral Edward Vernon of England to help calm the stomachs of sailors suffering from scurvy and seasickness. The very early version with sugar, lemon juice and whiskey was the inspiration behind this citrusy cocktail. Woodford Reserve bourbon is shaken up with the brightness of acidified orange juice and Angostura bitters, and garnished with an orange wheel. Gentleman Jack Whiskey, Acidified Orange Juice
Old Fashioned, Amigos$19.00
A book published in 1862 by Jerry Thomas, known as the 'father of American mixology', contained the first gin-based Old Fashioned recipe. The Old Fashioned known today was created in Louisville, Kentucky. Casamigos Reposado Tequila, Glenlivet 12 Year, Orange
Nacional Royale$21.00
The Hotel Nacional de Cuba was one of the world's most glamourous hotels in the early 20th century and its namesake cocktail is the inspiration for this drink. Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum, St-Germain, Pineapple, Lime, Veuve Clicquot
Carte Blanche$18.00
In his first novel, author Ian Fleming, writes of his protagonist, James Bond, suavely instructing a bartender to mix him a cocktail of gin, vodka and Kina Lillet. He names it The Vesper, after his love, the beautiful Vesper Lynd. Grey Goose Vodka, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Chardonnay
Soul Reviver$18.00
Based on the Corpse Reviver, a drink whose popularity soared with its appearance in The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930, this version is equally adept at livening up the mood. Botanist Islay, Casamigos Blanco Tequila, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, Blackberry, Lemon, Absinthe Rinse
Derby Bird$17.00
Watching the birds flit about while sitting at the Aviary Bar, Kuala Lumpur was a moment in time, never to be repeated. The Jungle Bird was the bar's signature cocktail & the inspiration behind this drink. Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Campari, Lemon, Orange
Material Girl$17.00
Though the 'Cosmo' started making the rounds in the 80s when Madonna was photographed with one in hand at New York City's the Rainbow Room, its popularity peaked in the 90s with the advent of the television show Sex and the City. Botanist Gin, St-Germain, Lemon, Apple

The ambiance, music and decor is beautiful. The drinks were great as well but the food was not up to par. Plus they didn't mention they didn't have one item and just replaced those with more of others. I would have appreciated a heads up.

The food was great except there were not that many options. If you love sushi it’s a great place. They will not make rolls for you unless it’s on the menu which was disappointing. The service was pretty bad our waiter was not the nicest and did not clear the table when our desert came and was annoyed when we ask him to clear the table.

The open table menu shows half bottles of different spirits including Johnnie Walker Black Label 375ml for $50.00, I ordered it and the waiter Giovanni very nicely told me that he had to consult with the manager Shaquille Pagan, the manager Shaquille Pagan came to my table and instead of helping me started to harass me telling me that he won't do anything and treating me very disrespectful. I go there frequently and all I want is to have a good time. He ruined my date and my night.

The Lobby is a fantastic place for a drink or a full dinner, you can sit at the bar or at one of the lounge tables. the service is outstanding as well as the food. The cocktails are creative and well balanced. The staff is amazing and goes the distance to accomodate any request, overall a great experience.

This is not a restaurant. It is sushi served in the hotel lobby. They were very understaffed and it took 2 hours to get food. We were both sick the next day- not sure if it was related to the sushi. Sushi wasn't bad, but not great.

Went on a Thursday evening. Because of Covid restrictions and curfew, the bar is not as lively as it would have been. No live music either. Sushi was delicious. Well priced. Drinks, were okay! For the $17-21 not all that impressive. Bartenders were friendly and welcoming.

I was on vacation from Ohio. Not a good experience. We went on a week night and started with the waitress who was not nice to us. We wanted sushi and I was afraid to order. We left since this was not a restaurant but instead tables that looked like to see a show but there was not choice. In addition tremendously covid restrictions. Also it took about 2 hours to get our luggage and they never delivered it.

Dinner was a circus. After begging someone to help us get seated it was another 30 minutes before we saw a server to place an order. 2 hours before dinner was served. It was the worst meal I have ever had, hands down. The Fairmont is so over booked and underserved with staff that it was easier to keep the table, have my husband walk down the street and order dinner and bring it back to the table which had the same warm drinks sitting on them and still no sushi’s. The server, when we saw him, was apologetic but it never changed our meal (which was still served 2 hours after ordering) and our service never got better. It was a huge waste of time and money and we should have left immediately. Rice was gummy on the sushi and the roll tasted like a Publix grocery store roll, and it may have been. In general don’t eat at the Fairmont, stay at the Fairmont or even swim at the Fairmont. It’s all gross.

We ate here while on our family vacation. The hotel is very nice but the actual “restaurant” is in the lobby adjacent to the bar area. When we arrived there were no other tables with customers. The music was exceptionally loud (even my two college age daughters commented as to the noise level). When we asked the hostess if they could lower the music she said “I can’t hear you” so we repeated our request. We were told that the manager wouldn’t be happy with that request. After asking several times, the begrudgingly lowered the music. While our waiter was good the entire experience from a service perspective was poor at best. The food was above average except for the fact that it markets itself as a “sushi” restaurant but there were out of tuna, salmon and yellowtail - yes - hard to believe. Another odd policy is that they take your credit card when you place your order - not something I have seen from other restaurants in Puerto Rico. Again, our waiter was very good but the rest of the service left a lot to be desired and made for a pretty unpleasant experience.

We ate at the lobby bar on two occasions. The first night we were desperate to find food after our reservation at Havana Bar and Grill canceled two hours before we were supposed to eat there. After scrambling for several hours we found someone at the hotel (Astrid) who tried to accommodate us as best as she could, and then Annalise and Chef Louis went out of their way to help us as much as possible and give us a delicious meal, even though they were short staffed. We liked it so much that we went back, this time with a reservation. Lupe was an excellent server, and we had a great meal. My biggest complaint about the food at the Fairmont is that it is extremely overpriced.

The person there did not honor my reservation I made despite being there on time, and when we sat in open chairs at the bar, he rudely asked us to get up because those seats were for people who had gotten up to walk around the hotel and he was saving those seats for them. Instead of finding us somewhere else to sit, he kept asking us to get off of anywhere we sat. Incredibly rude and disrespectful.

Una mala experiencia, nunca nos atendieron, pasaron 20 minutos y nunca llegó ningún mesero. El parking cuesta $27 así sean 10 minutos. Mala experiencia, mal servicio.

The sushi was inedible and incredibly overpriced. A waste of money!

We wanted sushi so we have been there a couple of times and we know its always great. As usual everything was awesome except that they didn’t have amaretto to make an amaretto sour. Our server went to all the bars asking to see if they had and nothing…I know for a fact that the hotel makes the BEST amaretto sour but this time I had to drink something else..

The lobby is great very loud and energetic. Drinks are expensive $20 range but good for a night cap.

No food being offered at the time reservation was made for. Apparently the sushi chef decided no more sushi was available since it was not that busy.

Masquerade party in the Lobby at the Fairmont El San Juan hotel started out with a hitch when the hostess refused to seat us despite our reservation for a table at 7:15pm. Even though there were very few guests at the event at the time of arrival we were directed to the bar to order drinks and wait for our hostess to return and find us which she never did. I went to find her but was unsuccessful , until I found another hostess she had spoken to who refused to seat us once again, until I insisted. At that time she sat us at a table adjacent to bar despite many multitudes of empty tables! After our waiter, Jeovani Villafana arrived we informed him of unpleasurable experience to that point and he arranged to seat us at a more favorable table ultimately. From then on our experience became profoundly nicer. He took the initiative to improve our experience with his thoughtfulness, impeccable service and attentiveness. He is management level material without a doubt. I will now continue to frequent the lobby at Fairmont ESJ hotel when I am in town, thanks to him. The dancers were amazing, the band was ok but not fantastic. The singers were weak and brass section was mediocre.
