I took my wife out for dinner on "date night". It was the weekend prior to Valentines so we headed to old San Juan. The restaurant I was going to dine was full and since I had no reservations we had to leave. As we were walking back to our car, we stumbled across Carli's Piano Bar & Restaurant. The... More

My husband and I were in Old San Juan for the San Sebastian Festival...and stumbled across this little gem. The menu looked great, and the staff were all so inviting. They let us know that there would be live jazz piano played by the owner/ex-beach boys member, later that night...so we stayed. The food was fantastic! We had crab cakes,... More

I would have never thought that San Juan would have a world class jazz club/restaurant, but Carli's is just that! Great food, great music, great atmosphere, and awesome location in Old San Juan, and one of the best bartenders you'll find in any city in the world. Highly recommended! More

He plays every night, and is joined by a combo or a variety of guest musicians on weekends. The restaurant is a small intimate setting, with less... More

While in San Juan, dinner at Carlis was a definate highlight. The staff is warm and friendly and try their best to accommodate your every wish. Falsto is an amazing bartender and server. The food and presentation was exceptional. The best mussels and spinach salad ever. A must when in San Juan! More

We happened upon Carli Cafe while trying to actually find the Hard Rock Cafe for a souvenir. We are so glad we stayed. We ate outside on a beautiful night. Not only were they accomadating to the adults but also my 2 year old daughter. They were willing to make her the most impressive fruit bowl for her and she... More
