Amazing place to enjoy a nice meal with wonderful service and very friendly people. I would highly recommend this place in a heartbeat. It was our first time there, and our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful; she even recommended some drinks and amazing desserts. We will definitely come back. Thank you!!!

We started the night at the bar where Diego the bartender suggested and explained the cocktails and signature drinks, decided for the Pink Lady and it was no mistake, delicious, not strong but frutie taste, perfect for our girls night out. Also ordered the mamposteao croquettes and the 3 beans hummus which was the star of the night! The taste was exquisite, cooked to perfection. Our waiter Luis was very profesional and helpful throughout the evening, we never felt rushed, and he took the time to explain every option from the menu. The girls ordered the souffles for dessert and it was out of this world! Is a must! We highly reccomend La Cava for an outstanding dinner in Ponce! Don't miss out!

Don’t fall for this place… food looks great but it’s simply not good. The foie gras was frozen in the middle. The tuna tare tare tasted like it had been dumped with salt. The beef carpaccio was drowned in fake truffle and served with a brown avocado. The risotto was greasy and not well prepared. The fish was so overcooked it was more like jerky. The bottled water was good though.

We are happy holiday goers from the Netherlands with a good appetite and really good experiences in the Caribbean. We love Puerto Rico and its food. So with high expectations we entered the restaurant, which has just reopened after the 2020 quake. It became a disappointment. We saw our neighbors getting 3 courses before we received ours (only mains). When we addressed this after a while, we got a nice appetizer eh oh was appreciated but the 15 minutes we had to give it an extra wait, became 25 and all and all it took them 85 minutes to serve our food after we ordered it. However, this was not the worst issue; that was the quality of the food. The ravioli was decent. The duck, ordered Medium, came grey from the overcooking and the potatoes were gravely undercooked, just away from raw, which can cause serious health issues so we did not eat them and sent almost everything back. The waitress kept eternally smiling when we told her, but did not seem to understand the severity of the situation - regardless the high standards the regulator in US sets for food safety. We were offered something extra but declined as and therefore had to pay the full bill. What a deception.

This restaurant is the most upscale restaurant of the Ponce Hilton Resort where we were spending our wedding anniversary. The special day was Sunday. Prior to the date we investigated, as suggested, by using the QR code the restaurant and the menu and all was good. There was no mention of the venue being closed for half a week every week. That included the weekend Sunday. So - our sadness and disappointment. I can’t imagine how an upscale restaurant can be closed on Sunday. The attendant stated they would reopen on Wednesday.

The service was friendly and welcoming. As an appetizer I had some exquisite “bellies”. Then I ate the steak mignon. The tender meat, made to the point and to finish a chocolate sweet. This is a restaurant to sit calmly and enjoy. The atmosphere is calm and pleasant.

The restaurant La Cava is within the Hilton Ponce hotel and looks quite inviting once you are inside the dining room. We had shrimp Tempura as an appetizer which was nice and crispy, then pork belly and “bifongo” which both was good and appealing flavor. The wine list features some very good bottles from Spain. Only small drawbacks: freezing cold air con and quite some waiting time for the mains on this Saturday evening. But apart from that its a pleasant place.

Excellent food. Had the Salmon fillet with mashed potatoes/vegetables and mushroom risotto. Would give it 5 stars for food, but we had to wear coats because the AC was set so cold, and they were never able to adjust it. Be sure to order an appetizer since it takes quite a while to cook the meals. The accordion player was very talented.

One of the best restaurants in Puerto Rico. The food was awsome. The food is so delicious and the personal always looking to give you the best service. Try the Hummus and the Risotto, the PorkBelly… wao! Nice place for a date with your couple or to do some bussiness. If you go to the South or Southwest part of PR, got to give yourself this experience. I’ll give La Cava a perfect ten!

The environment is great! One of the few restaurants that is actually cold and I’m not dying of heat. On another note the pork belly is to die for.
