    Here to celebrate my wife’s birthday 1919 did not disappoint. From the ambiance of the Coronado Vanderbilt classic refined look to ocean views from our table. The service was impeccable from the moment we walked in and enjoyed our first bespoke cocktails. The 4 course meal featured fresh mostly local ingredients that were each unique well portioned and flavored perfectly. 10/10 recommend for your best meal in San Juan.

    Amazing experience and terrific wine. Jose, Paola and Yuyi did a wonderful and noteworthy job and made the whole experience even more unforgettable. I was very glad they were our team as they seemed the most personable, and they were all full of knowledge. The food was delicious, of particular note the caviar pie and the main entree of Iberico pork shoulder. The wines!!! Wow! I wish I could drink endlessly but they were ample portions and all very worth exploring. Really excellent pairings too (I only did the classic version). The tomato sorbet mocktail and the banana mocktail that my husband enjoyed were both extraordinary but overall there could be a little more herbal influence (less sweet / sour) in that array. We really were thrilled to enjoy this experience and thank you to the most wonderful team who walked us through it.

    While the food was great and the portions were generous, the Prix fixe Price seemed excessive. >$500 for two without wine pairings and one cocktail and one glass of wine per person. Cocina Abierta better value although not nearly as fancy. Also disappointed that the hostess had not read a seating request made weeks before. The wait staff and Somalier were excellent.

    This is one of my all time favorite restaurants and it’s a must whenever my husband and I vacation in San Juan. The service is impeccable. We always add on the wine pairing with the 5 course pre fixe and it’s an amazing experience. The food is amazing and it’s always a new adventure every time we dine here. The waitstaff is incredible, especially the sommelier who has introduced to so many new wines. I highly recommend 1919!

    An exceptional dining experience last evening. The food was incredible & the perfect portion sizes to fully enjoy every bite. The prix fixed menu offered many options per course and they were more than happy to adjust due to a couple dietary restrictions. William and Joshua made the experience that much more special. They were attentive and beyond gracious. Will definitely be back next time we are in Puerto Rico!

    The true character of an elegant dining establishment is consistency. We enjoyed our first experience so much we returned and it seemed like the service was taken to a whole new level. Angel and William were the epitome of professionalism, kindness and made our second experience even more special. Chef Juan Jose Cuevas cultivated a superior team, an inviting space and an amazing menu from yhe lobster salad, fresh tomato salad, gnocchi that melts in your mouth, to truly special mains. The Pastry Chef created a delectable brioche bread pudding and a pear marscapone cake that makes Tiramisu tasta like a hostess cake. We cannot wait to return. 1919 is an essential experience for PR vacation.

    My husband and I always make it a point to dine at 1919 twice during our trips to San Juan…because once is simply not enough. The room is gorgeous with views of the sea. The wine pairing 4-course meal (plus stellar surprise “gifts from the chef”) are like these delicious flavor and texture explosions in your mouth. And the attentive, professional, fun staff from start to finish (Joshua and team, we’re looking at you!) make the evening complete. Try 1919 and you’ll be in for a five-star treat.

    Fixed price and not worth $199. Two dishes were over salted. Too Many dishes featured black truffle. Many dishes were an up charge like the trio of crudo which had very tiny portions especially for an extra charge. Wine was expensive. A crying toddler made for an unpleasant experience. Our reservation was at 7:30 and the toddler and it’s parents were still there at 9:50! We did get a couple of extra amuse bouches which were just ok. Nice touch was a small loaf of banana bread for breakfast. The service was friendly and warm but we waited too long for our first drink.

    My girlfriend and I had a date night here our first night in PR. It surpassed expectations. William was our server and Yuyi selected our wines. They were both excellent. Yuyi even took the time to write down some bar recommendations in the area, which was amazing. We paired our dinner with wines, and it was well worth it. It was an absolute 10/10 experience. Food, wine, and ambiance were incredible. Worth the price.

    Overpriced and overrated. Had a much much better 5 course tasting menu down the street at Cocina Abierto for half the cost of 1919. Most of the choices on their menu required supplements. It felt expensive just for the sake of being expensive without actually earning it via service and actual quality.
