Chef José Santaella refined his culinary expertise with top chefs like Ferrán Adrià, Eric Ripert, and Gary Danko. His years of apprenticeships and a thriving catering career led to opening *Santaella* in Santurce’s La Placita Marketplace. The restaurant offers a rustic yet elegant atmosphere, with exposed brick walls, Edison lights, an indoor garden, and a stylish bar. Chef Santaella creatively combines local and international ingredients, crafting Puerto Rican nouvelle cuisine. The tapas-focused menu features favorites like ahi tuna skewers, goat cheese quesadillas, crab-topped ‘alcapurrias,’ and foie gras terrine with fruit jelly. Known for its vibrant ambiance, *Santaella* also boasts one of the island’s best cocktail bars, with expertly crafted drinks by its skilled mixologists. Praised as a culinary treasure in San Juan, *Santaella* impresses with "amazing food," "exceptional service," and "top-tier cocktails." Ideal for special events or memorable evenings, it’s a must-visit.

Overall this place did not disappoint in terms of meat/seafood based dishes. The pork belly was a burst of well balanced flavor and cooked to perfection. Where it was lacking is in the inattention to detail. A member of our party is vegetarian and despite the claims for veg friendly on their website this is not the case. Unfortunately, the only dish on their online menu besides a salad that was vegetarian was unavailable. Also, not one but two of the dishes we ordered which should have been vegetarian came out incorrect. They were able to rectify on of the mistakes and get a vegetarian version of the alcapurrias with guac. Overall this place received 3 stars for the overall experience and would have been 5 stars if a little more attention was paid to the details for all members of our party.

We’re glad our meat and seafood dishes did not disappoint. 🍽️🥩 We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience your vegetarian guest experienced. While we strive to offer vegetarian-friendly options, it’s clear we fell short in delivering on that promise for your party. 🌱 We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’ll be working closely with our culinary team to ensure our vegetarian dishes are readily available and accurately prepared. 🤝 We value your feedback and hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back, so we can provide a more inclusive dining experience for everyone at your table. 🙏

Reservation made for this restaurant was actually a bait and switch and made for their rooftop section since the real restaurant is closed on Sundays. No mention of this in the reservation confirmation or anything. The menu is completely different. We had diners with dietary restrictions and I specifically chose Santaella based on their menu options, to arrive and be handed a menu that’s completely different. They also didn’t know how they could accommodate anything. They asked if we wanted water and we said yes. Obviously. They come back with bottled still water and don’t leave the bottle. Then we asked for sparkling water. Again they come back and pour but don’t leave the bottle. We got charged $7 and $9 for these waters without being able to even pour them ourselves. So stingy and such a tourist trap move that’s sketchy. They also had NO restrooms and were making guests use portable potties outside. Yes you read that right. I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it. We ordered 2 appetizers and left immediately. Water and 2 apps was $84. Probably one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had.

Oh wow, what a *shocking* experience—truly a **travesty** in the history of dining. A different menu on a Sunday? The *horror!* And the **water scandal**—$7 and $9 for premium bottled water? Outrageous! Almost like… you could’ve asked the price first. But no, much better to act *scandalized* after the fact. And portable restrooms? Yes, because clearly, we *live* to inconvenience you personally. Ordering two appetizers, leaving in dramatic fashion, and then whining about the bill? Classic. But don’t worry, we won’t miss a **bad tipper** who expects VIP treatment on a budget. Safe travels! 😊

La experiencia estuvo bien. Los meseros muy atentos y un muy buen servicio, incluyendo los host y valet parking. La comida le faltaba algo más de cariño con el sabor, pero el plateado es toda una obra

I dined here when I was on vacation 6 years ago and loved it, but this time was even better. Every dish was delicious! We wish we had room to try it all. This is a can't miss meal in Puerto Rico. And the service was outstanding. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations. Can't wait to come back!
