Pay a visit to Carli's and listen to a nice repertoire of piano jazz standards performed by Carli himself. (Bill Evans is well represented). Ambiance is upscale and well designed for a small place. Menu and food, however, is disappointing, to say the least. Not worth having dinner unless all you care is to enjoy an evening regardless of food... More

We went to Carli's our first night in Puerto Rico after a recommendation from a friend. What an awesome experience!!! From the minute we walked in our waiter (and AMAZING bartender) Fausco treated us like family. Our table was ready and waiting in a comfy/cozy/intimate atmosphere. We had wonderful food, drinks and live piano music by Carli. The restaurant was... More

Cafe Carli was one of the stops on the Flavors of Old San Juan Food & Culture Tour (another great experience) where we had a shrimp risotto to die for and the bartender made us the most delicious and fresh Mojitos (non-alcoholic ones for our two 16 year olds!) and after such an awesome experience, we decided to make it...

My boyfriend and I were enjoying our last night in San Juan when we happened upon Carli's Restaurant. We were unaware that we were in the presence of a Jazz legend but we enjoyed the music of Carli Munoz and a young cellist. The food was delicious, the server was attentive and they had this salt scrub in the restroom... More

Stopped at this restaurant's outdoor cafe for a rest and a happy hour cocktail after a pleasant and tiring walk. Service was exemplary and when we found ourselves near to it the following day, we paid another visit. We enjoyed great service, great cocktails and great appetizers ( loved the tuna carpaccio and seafood ceviche ! ). Nice to hear... More

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!

My husband and I recently returned from a week in Puerto Rico to celebrate my birthday. After reading great reviews on Trip Advisor, we made a reservation at this restaurant. The service was excellent and our waitress could not be more acomodating. The atmosphere was really nice as well, very romantic and calming. Carli arrived and his music was beautiful.... More

My boyfriend and I had heard that the music was good at Carli's so decided to go for dinner one evening. It was raining and we got lost walking around the streets of San Juan. We called the restaurant and without any hesitation the head waiter came out with an umbrella to look for us! When we finally got there,... More
