In a one-of-a-kind oceanfront mansion with a terrace smack bang in front of Condado Beach, this cool and contemporary restaurant-bar serves up just-caught seafood – ginger coconut shrimp, ahi-tuna tartare, red snapper – and perennial favorites like surf 'n' turf. The Nolita, a refreshing mix of gin, cucumber and pineapple juice, makes the perfect sundowner. It does a good brunch too.
