About the restaurant

True to its name, the Chef’s Table feels gloriously indulgent, inviting lucky diners on a hedonistic journey encapsulating Antonio Pérez’s life in Puerto Rico and his culinary career across South America, Europe, and Asia. The setting feels intimate and wildly special, with just 12 seats surrounding the open kitchen, complemented by a lounge area for a welcome cava before dinner or a post-tasting menu digestif. The themed-driven five-course menu changes monthly along with its wine pairing.
This is not merely another dining experience; it’s an intimate journey through the heart and soul of a Puerto Rican cook and his global culinary influences. Do not reserve a number of diners higher than desired, in our kitchen everything is prepared for all confirmed reservations, as such, we will regard it as a no show who has failed to comply with the reservation. If you wish to cancel your reservation, please give us at least three day’s notice. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

Dining at the chef’s table at Epicuro is nothing short of extraordinary. From Sarah’s first greeting to the final bite, every moment is designed to make you feel at home. (That is, if you happen to live in a Michelin grade restaurant…) Watching Chef Antonio work just feet away was a privilege — each dish was a stunning expression of technique, creativity and art. Specially since this month’s menu and experience is inspired by the life and work of Pablo Picasso. Should you find an open reservation slot, grab it first and ask questions later.

It was raining really hard, a bit difficult to get in without getting wet, but not really much the restaurant could do. Once inside everything was excellent. The newly added ribs to the menu were outstanding. Not our first visit, but definitely the best experience so far. Rainstorm was creating havoc, but staff stayed on point and provided excellent service and dinner. Highly recommend!

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor of the tapas. Thanks to Chef Joseph, it’s rare to find a speakeasy that offers this kind of cuisine. The cocktail selection is excellent, and the atmosphere is very inviting. However, what we truly loved was the service provided by Nina. She was attentive, always wore a smile, and made great recommendations.
