Every plate was flavorful and colorful. We had the Smoked Salmon Galette, Mushroom Strata, Burrata Salad and Huevos Rotos; everything was delicious. The combination of flavors and textures was divine. The Mimosas were the best pairing for our food. Service was great.

Simposio always delivers! This time we tried one of the weekly specials: fish filet in "gandules" sauce and "guineito". Delicious. The cheese balls with local jam were a good way to start—great wines and cocktails in a casual ambiance.

High end but easy to get a rez on a Sat night. Seems like a lot of locals go here. Co-owner greeted us and explained his restaurant and was fabulous. Only negatives were that they were out of some things which is expected on an island and air conditioning was a little high. Excellent experience and definitely a hidden gem!!!
