The Blue Dolphin Bar and Sonny's Restaurant

[Missybud]

These are located at The Empress Beach Hotel and advertise the largest outdoor bar deck over the water in Isla Verde. If anyone has been, would appreciate info on scenery, type of cuisine, prices, ok for a Saturday night happy Hour?

I went to Sonnys last year for lunch. Excellent place.

Right on the water overlooking the beach line and the

El San Juan Hotel. Prices were very reasonable. They

serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Menu is varied,

serving Pasta, Seafood, Chicken, Sandwiches, Ribs (very

good), Burgers, Salads. Saturday nites should really be

a busy time. They have live latin music and dancing on

weekends.

I will go again next week for sure when Iam in PR prior

to AOS cruise.

FrankM, Thanks for your quick reply! We don't hear anything about this place and I really felt it was a secret gem. Missy

FRANKM,

 

Sorry your cruise is over. You need to book another to avoid PCD! Were you able to dine at Sonny's again? I wrote to them regarding accomodating reservations for 19 but have not received a reply.

 

Your recent impressions appreciated.

Hi Missy

 

Just saw your post. Yes, PCD has set in quite severely.

Our cruise on AOS was terrific. Couldnt ask for more.

 

Unfortunately, try as I did, I couldnt get to Sonny's. Spent alot of time outside of San Juan. I did get to the ESJ one nite and saw the Blue Dolphin all lit up down the beach so its' still around. They should not have a problem accomodating 19 people. Most of the tables are for 4 so they will just join them. They are set up to handle parties and banquets. There are really two places here. Sonny's and the Blue Dolphin joined together.

 

Suggest you call them with any questions. The number is

787-791-3083.

FRANKM,

 

Again, thankyou so much! Yes, work on that next cruise. I try to have one thought out and ready to book before I cruise the current one.
