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.

Went for dinner with friends and had a pleasant experience. The octopus salad and tuna carpaccio were fresh and outstanding as well as the signature “alcapurrias” with a beautiful presentation. The cod served with rice and the steak with risotto made with seasonal products were cooked to perfection. We finished our dinner with a delicious dessert. The chef greeted us as well as the owner who is very hospitable and knowledgeable about their wine list. Cocktails wow, and the wine selection is great. Our server was very efficient making sure that everything arrived to the table as requested. The place itself is very welcoming and charming, you dont feel rushed at any time. Overall, a great local restaurant, very well priced, excellent food and spirits, great overall experience, definitely a place to visit!

PYP is my favorite restaurant in the island. The food never disappoints and the service is even better. They have a young server that goes above and beyond and makes the experience much better than it already is. The vibes of the restaurant and the open kitchen concept make you feel like you're home. I will keeping coming back.

Then we went with the homey spicy pepperoni pizza also delicious. We ended up with the lava chocolate cake filled with hot chocolate sauce and topped with marshmallows Yummmmmm!!! Overall the service was amazing
