    The tip is if you're in San Juan and don't dine here you've missed out. Get the tasting menu and wine flight (great for vegetarians too as they have substantial delicious veg. fair as well)

    We did the 6 course tasting menu. Each person can choose 6 different dishes so we shared everything and got to try 12 dishes. Let me tell you we live in NYC & eat very well and Marmalade was the best

    Amazing! White bean soup is to die for. Beef tenderloins and lamb tangine are delicious. The owner walks around serving amd greeting you. He is a sweetheart. Definitely a must do in San Juan.

    The place is a perfect combo of trendy and romantic. Yellow tail poke was delicious & the watermelon (which I typically don't enjoyed mixed with my protein) just hit the spot. Dress it up to fit in.

    A restaurant that you will never forget. I recommend the tasting menu. Chef Peter Schintler is a one of our best chefs on the island. It's an experience you need to have in San Juan.

    Don't miss the Jimi Hendrick's cocktail, made with muddled mint and jalapeño, plus cucumber and lime juices and Hendrick's Gin. As good looking as it is tasty!

    Everything from the cocktails to the decor to the food is first-rate at Marmalade. Not showy or molecular, but absolutely satisfying. Inspired combinations and a well-curated menu even for vegetarians

    Get “Gnocchi” or the “white bean soup”. Or the “forbidden fried rice”.Amazing service and attention to detail. You will feel like the king or queen you really are...

    This was truly an amazing culinary delight !!! I can't rave more about the multiple courses, especially the truffle pasta, short ribs and white bean soup!!! A must if you're in old San Juan

    Outstanding food, service and cocktails. Considered by industry leaders one of the best restaurants of the island. Owner will come to your table and talk for a couple mins. Highly recommended.

    Don't leave San Juan without dining here! Exquisite food, impeccable service, beautiful decor, hipster vibe. Sea bass, yellow beet salad white bean soup crime brûlée. Yes. Time to splurge!

    Go with the 5-course and try the white bean soup & their version of popcorn shrimp. Then close out with the banana bread pudding for dessert. Best meal experience during our stay by far!

    Great atmosphere and service. Some of the dishes are oversalted. The tagine's flavor profile is off, despite it being fusion or not. It's also too meaty; they can do without the chorizo.

    yes. 1000x yes. however, know these portions are HUGE. we did the full tasting with the wine pairing. by the 3rd course, i was stuffed. SUPER gluten-free friendly.

    Did a tasting and everything was realllly good. Service is great and the head chef brought out our last course! Very rich flavors though so be mindful of that when choosing your dishes!

    Tasting menu is amazing! Generous portions and won't leave you hungry. White Bean Soup M.U.S.T try! Everything is sooo yummy. Very well worth every penny!

    The hostess is literally the nicest person we met while visiting San Juan. Marmalade was booked solid, but she took time to call another restaurant and see if they had an opening for us. So nice!

    The white bean soup lives up to the praise. Don't leave the building without trying it. The tasting menu is a great way to try a bunch of yummy things and worth it.

    Get the tasting menu for sure, and make sure to try to white bean soup and the foie gras. The "global warming" cocktail is delicious as well

    The food is beautifully presented and with good quality ingredients, but do not expect Michelin quality (it’s not) as reviews make it out to be. Food was yummy, service was exceptional.

    One of the best dining (and service) experiences you'll ever have. Start with the ceviche, end with the bread pudding. You won't be sorry.

    Get the 4 courses. Yellowtail poke, white bean soup, and banana bread pudding were great. Striped bass and red snapper were just ok.

    Food is awesome. Flavors are refreshing and adventurous..!! You must try the passion fruit sangria and the pineapple mojito. Also, it's imperative that you try the white bean soup.

    Red snapper ceviche A+, white bean soup A+ (really not exaggerated, a calorie bomb with the cream and butter bur delicious). Sea bass B-.

    Worth trying. Excellent service. Inventive cuisine. The white bean soup is worthy of all the hype. If I had to do it again I would have just shared apps tapas style.

    Truly a restaurant that cares about their guests' experiences....don't be afraid to speak up if something isn't quite up to your standards. Lobster risotto & tripleta were standouts.

    When making reservation make sure you ask for the bench seats. If you want larger portion (yet less variety), go with 5-courses prefix. Great place!

    Millionaire ice cream: the most truffle I've seen in/on anything in my life. Chef confirmed at our table it's a loss leader. A must have.

    Get the 5 course tasting menu! But order your own wine selections. Don't overlook the heirloom beet salad or swordfish. Subtle winners.

    The tenderloin main course was exquisite, as was the pre-mains mushroom soup. Fine dining doesn't get any finer - quite possibly the best meal I've ever experienced.

    Sister restaurant to Jam (Condado) w/a wonderful vegetarian menu & chef who's willing to go the extra mile to accommodate a vegan in gourmet fashion...as well as a great wine selection. A fave in PR.
