This is a lovely upscale restaurant that served great mixed drinks and amazing food. The place is packed at night so I highly suggest making reservations if you want to have dinner here. After dinner stroll the neighborhood which is packed with bars and other restaurants.

Perfect date night! We made reservations a few weeks out and looked forward to visiting here during our travels. The craft cocktails were delicious, as was the food. My favorite bite of the night was the camarones in garlic cream sauce with trifongo. I’ll be dreaming of that dish for the rest of my life. The atmosphere is romantic and the staff is so professional and kind.

We were in San Juan for 2 nights and made reservations at Santaella and Marmalade. We went to Santaella first and had a great experience, which left us excited for Marmalade the second night. After eating at both, it became apparent that Santaella knocked it out of the park. The food was incredible from the first bite, each plate we ordered was better than the last with flavors that I have truly never experienced. The Parmesan ice cream was innovative and absolutely impossible to describe. A must try! Both of these restaurants came highly recommended but I am here to tell you to save your money on Marmalade and go splurge at Santaella! A meal we will never forget.

Not a bad enough place. Service was not the best, forgot to bring us a dish. Cocktails are normal, the atmosphere itself is quiet! From the street just do not go in, the door is closed and you have to wait for someone to open!
I was surprised that two of the same servings were different sizes!

GREAT DRINKS, ELEGANT VIBE
I went to Santaella looking for a restaurant with an elevated vibe. They do not disappoint! Unfortunately, because we decided to go to this place right before calling an Uber they were packed! So, I highly suggest that you make reservations at least a day or two before hand if you want to sit at a table. We were still able to be seated, however we had to sit at the bar. It was comfortable and we had access to the full menu, but we kept light. The bartender was very hospitable and kind. I would definitely return… but next time with a reservation.😊
