Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Located on Calle Fortaleza near Plaza Colón at the entrance of Old San Juan, this cool, turquoise-colored restaurant features sometimes as frenetic action as the three large replicas of three aquaviva (jellyfish), quivering with illumination, each painstakingly manufactured from stained glass specifically for this site. Bioluminescent drinks are served at the bar, and the hip raw bar here features sushi and a host of ceviches, including one made with dorado and mango and lemon juices and another with marlin and garlic. The hot and cold appetizer towers are great for small groups (fried oysters, coco-flavored shrimp, fried octopus, and calamari). The best main courses include grilled fresh mahimahi with smoky shrimp, salsa, and coconut-poached yucca; seared medallions of halibut with a fondue of spinach and crabmeat; and a succulent version of paella garnished with seafood and pork sausage.
