   They were busy so there was about 30 min wait to be seated despite having reservations. The staff did explain and apologize. The appetizers were amazing better than the main course. The branzino fish was amazing. The pasta was good. However the rib eye was not cooked as ordered (well done). Some parts were too well done and some were medium well to almost rare. Unfortunately There was a long wait for our main courses, therefore I decided to eat instead of sending the food back. Granted that was my choice. The drinks were good and freshly made natural juices amazing. The waiters were outstanding. In my honest opinion the menu is overpriced for the quality of food we were served. I am lucky enough to have access to outstanding steak house restaurants so I am privy to that experience and even though I was hopeful this was not it.

   Service was excellent. Duck breast was good on flavor, but the kitchen missed the temperature. It was a medium well instead of medium rare-medium

   I recently had the opportunity to visit Lala, often dubbed the Bad Bunny restaurant, during one of my frequent trips to Puerto Rico. Having heard so much buzz about the place, making a reservation was a no-brainer. Unfortunately, my anticipation met with a mixed experience that left me rather disappointed. Let's start with the silver lining: the food and service from our waiter were impeccable. Each dish was crafted with skill, and our server was attentive and warm, which almost salvaged the evening. Unfortunately, the downsides of the visit overshadowed these positive elements. Upon arriving for our 7 PM reservation, we were met with an indifferent reception by the hostesses. Despite our timely arrival and attire, we were made to feel unwelcome. The waiting lounge was not a pleasant space to linger, especially as we noticed people who arrived after us being seated before us. It seemed there were available tables, yet we were inexplicably delayed. When we were finally seated, it was outside facing the bustling parking lot. The clamor of cars and the shrills of nearby birds were our dining soundtrack—not quite the ambiance we had envisioned for a top-rated restaurant. This, coupled with the lackluster hospitality at the door, marred what could have been an enjoyable dining experience. The overall atmosphere exuded a sense of pretentiousness rather than hospitality, as if we should feel honored to dine there rather than being made to feel like valued guests. This unwelcoming vibe, particularly from the hostesses, left a bad taste in our mouths and unfortunately overshadows Lala's culinary strengths. In summary, while the culinary offerings and service from our waiter were splendid, the poor handling by the front of house and dismal seating arrangement turned our experience into a regrettable one. For now, we'll be steering clear of Lala, hoping they fine-tune their approach to better align wit

   Worth trying. Raw bar pretty good. Escargots was the best dish, snapper ceviche pretty good, although leche de Tigre lack power. Service ok, music a little bit too loud. All dishes to share came without spoon.
