Reviews
Restaurante Ariel provided an unforgettable dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.
We started with the house salad, which was fresh and beautifully presented, followed by the Escargots à la Bourguignonne. Both dishes were delicious and set the tone for the rest of the meal.
For the main course, we enjoyed the potato-crusted salmon, ribeye, and beef Wellington. Each dish was cooked to perfection, with exquisite flavors that truly stood out. The beef Wellington, in particular, was a highlight, with its tender, juicy beef encased in a perfectly crispy pastry.
The entire experience was a perfect blend of fine dining and warm hospitality. I highly recommend Restaurante Ariel for anyone looking to indulge in exceptional cuisine and top-notch service!
The hostess had no interest in greeting me nor walking me to the table my party was sitting. With only a handful of tables to serve, the waiter and the maitre d had no merriment whatsoever. They seemed to bear the sentiments of the hostess; all of them were having a bad night, didn’t want to be there, or both. The atmosphere of the restaurant is neutral. Very white. Very bland.
The bread and butter were excellent. However, at this level of dining, with white linens and all, a table crumber is compulsory between courses. The food was below standards. Ham croquettes were cold on the inside and very oily. Mixed fish croquettes had huge pieces of shell in the mixture. Couldn’t finish either of them. The server who removed my plate full of half eaten croquettes asked twice if I was done [before removing my plate] but didn’t bother to ask if there was any dissatisfaction. No interest whatsoever. Ordered the potato crusted salmon, the potato crust was not available. No substitute available. Did not bring extra vegetables on the side. It was paid at full price, of course. Disappointing to say the least. Desserts were ok. Wine list is overpriced. We had to remind the server for our drinks on three separate occasions; that ended up in our bill with three extra $22 drinks. Our friend who paid the bill wasn’t keeping track of our drinks by any means. And had he not made a comment about it the next day, we would have never figured out we were cheated and he was overcharged.
This was just a well rounded culinary disappointment, not a high-value dinner experience. AT ALL.
Exceptional restaurants are remembered because of their attention to details. The service was awful and the amateur mistakes in the food further evidence this establishment has lots of learning to do before calling themselves legendary.
They barely refilled our water or acknowledged us the entire time we were there but everyone else around us seemed to be taken care of very well. When our entrees finally came out he forgot the side and I had to remind the waiter about it. It arrived after we were done our entrees.they quickest part of the experience was getting our desert in under 10 minutes.
From aesthetic perspective the artificial lighting used with the mixture of bone white walls and white table clothes, plates, etc it feels like an anesthetized hospital room more than one of San Juan’s best restaurants. Over all it makes you feel drained and anxious after spending an hour in there let alone the over two it took to complete our meal there. The food may be good but it certainly isn’t worth the terrible service.
