On Tuesday nights in Ponce we found most fine dining restaurants were closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. However, we found this gem on a side street in Ponce and it was outstanding! Alexander, our waiter, was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He was also fluent in English. The ambiance was perfect. The menu was varied and the kitchen staff very skilled. The Ceviche was excellent, my wife had the sea bass and I had the swordfish, both expertly prepared. Bravo for a job well done!

As all medium / high class restaurants, Mesa has its fluctuations. But lately it has become more consistent in offering great food and service, placing it among the top Restaurants in Ponce. It is not cheap, but Quality has its price.

We're at Copamarina, Guanaco for about 10 days yearly and dine at Mesa at least twice. Well worth the drive. We're New Yorkers and access excellent food regularly. A couple of our San Juan favorites are Marmalade and Vianda. Mesa is consistently excellent and also does very nice cocktails.

Yesterday we were visiting the Mesa Restaurant and we had to wait 2 hours for them to serve the food ordered in a restaurant that had only few diners, it was not justified. For the price that you paid in that place you deserve to be treated like a king. Very bad service. The food taste does not compensate for the time we had to wait

The food was amazing. Probably one of the best I’ve have in Puerto Rico so far! Do not be fooled by the area; this is a hidden gem. Wait staff was also super friendly and recommended other local restaurants for the remaining of our stay.

This is a great fancy restaurant, allows casual wear. Quality 10/10, taste 10/10, price 10/10 (great price for the quality), quantity 7/10 (a bit small but great taste). The service was excellent and the waitress was Yireh a young lady talented host, made us feel like family. This is my new favorite spot. The drinks are economical and taste great. Overall I rate this place 9/10 possibly 10/10. You have to try the “croquetas de pulpo” delicious!

Fortunate to find this place on the fly during an impromptu visit to Ponce. Service was excellent. High chair available for toddler. Very accommodating. Tuna tartar was delicious with a very generous portion. Lobster Mac and cheese is something we will order again. Paella negra was delicious, especially the rice. The cocktails were fantastic. Smoked old fashioned is a must. The drink with passion fruit also excellent, and spicy margarita wasn’t that spicy but very delicious. We had coquitos to finish the meal which were also delicious. We will definitely be back!

Of the five nights in Ponce, Mesa had that highest quality cuisine. Each dish was delicious. The lobster risotto was creamy and chuck full of lobster. Both the swordfish and tuna were excellent- well prepared and presented. The only drawback was that the kitchen was slow. So, if you're in hurry you might want to try another place. If you're looking for great food, stay with Mesa. It will not disappoint.

This is an excellent restaurant. I don’t know how it is only #14 in Ponce. The menu is extensive with a leaning towards fish and steak. It was difficult to decide what to eat as everything looked amazing. The quality of the food was outstanding. The service was excellent. It is on the pricey side but definitely worth it!

Visiting Ponce after a while, wife and I wanted to catch up over dinner with another couple, dear friends for a long time. It happened to be St Valentine's day, so it was hard to get a reservation, but I'm glad we persisted. The drinks, the wine, the food, the service, the ambiance inside, everything was perfect. Thanks.

What a great place. Went with a group for lunch. I had paella negra, lots of seafood. I was very happy with the meal. Excellent service and server very helpful. Also had charcuterie. Walnuts nice flavor, prosciutto excellent. Lastly, creme brulee. One of my favorite desserts, although not best I've had. Highly recomend but prices are high, but worth it.

This is the best restaurant that we found in Puerto Rico. More money than most restaurants, but we really enjoyed ourselves. Presentation and service was excellent. It is in kind of an industrial/commercial area, and we drove by it a couple of times.
