Charming

Nestled on the fourth floor of the Hotel Puerto Valdés, Carnes Steakhouse offers an unforgettable dining experience with breathtaking views of the San Juan Bay. Delight in a culinary journey like no other, where every dish is crafted using the ancient Kamado method of cooking. This age-old technique infuses meats, poultry, and seafood with rich, unique flavors and melt-in-your-mouth textures that will leave you craving more.

As our Executive Chef, Edwin Garcia, puts it, “Cooking meat in Kamado is an art.” The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, inviting you to unwind as you savor each bite. On our terrace, enjoy stunning vistas of the bay, and on days when cruise ships dock, the view becomes even more captivating.

Join us at Carnes Steakhouse, where every detail, flavor, ambiance, and view creates a dining experience you won’t want to miss. Make your reservation today for a taste of culinary mastery!

Full flavor punch in the face. It is like the flavors from the smoke and spices are having a UFC fight for your attention. Your mouth is the arena and your tounge is the mat. It's a bit pricey, but the steaks are high!

Although the steak was very good, the fact that we waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for the food was absurd considering that restaurant was not overly crowded . To make matters worse, the waitress never offered an explanation or an apology for the delay in service.The wait for our food overshadowed anything else positive about the restaurant. We were there to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and it definitely dampened the mood.

Nos encantó la experiencia. La comida estuvo espectacular, con una sazón perfecto, y cada plato preparado al detalle. El ambiente es elegante, acogedor y perfecto para una ocasión especial. Queremos destacar el servicio excepcional de Natalia, quien nos hizo sentir atendidos de principio a fin. También felicitamos a los chefs por la calidad y ejecución de cada plato. Sin duda, una experiencia memorable a la que volveríamos y que recomendamos con total confianza. 🥩🍷✨

Holy greatness. From the rooftop view to the open kitchen to the service to the food — 10/10 experience. We were even able to split a ribeye because it was so big. Everything was amazing from start to finish. I will recommend this place to anyone visiting San Juan.

Lamentablemente tuve una mala experiencia en este lugar. Hice 2 semanas antes la reservacion indicando q lq cena era motivo celebracion cumpleaños de mi pareja. Llegamos a lugar el mesero muy amable nos llevo a la mesa. Cuando le comienzo a ordenar mia tragos me indica q la barra es limitada a lo q yo le dije, q trago me recomendaba q fuera dulce, el me miro y me dijo q no tenia nada q fuera asi, pero me dijo q me podia hacer un trago con pasoa a lo q le dije que si. Mi pareja pidio un trago Old Fashioned cuando se lo trajeron me indico q no podian hacerme mi trago pq los jugos se le habian dañado yo le dije ok, pues hasme un mojito a lo que me indico que no tenian tampoco. Todo lo de tomar q pedia no lo tenian, el mesero avergonzado me trajo una copa con sabia a Champaña q por cierto tenia buen sabor. El me dijo q iba por la casa por lo el mal rato q habia pasado con los tragoa. Ordenamos unas empanadas argentinas q que dejaban comer y unas salchichas con un chimichurri q tenian buen sabor. Luego pedimos la cuenta y nos fuimos. A lo que quiero llegar con esta experiencia es, q sali a celebrar el cumpleaños de mi pareja y de tantos restaurantes los eleji a ellos y me arepiento. Un consejo tiene q tener mas variedad de cokteles pq no todos tomamos solamente vino. Y obviamente le deje buena propina al mesero q no tenia la culpa de nada. Este lugar no lo recomiendo.

Staff was very nice, food was really good. We might have picked an off time b/c not many people were there but still an enjoyable experience.
