"Restaurante clásico de San Juan pueblo que cuenta con múltiples salones así como un patio exterior perfecto para disfrutar en primavera y verano tanto de una buena comida como de una cena. El trato del personal es de 10, intachable. En cuanto a la comida, es bastante buena si bien sus principales destacan muy por encima de los entrantes que, quizás, sean algo más flojos en presentación y calidad… Probamos para empezar las berenjenas rellenas que cumplieron su cometido para abrir boca, su arroz de magro que nos gustó mucho y el solomillo al foie que cumplió con creces por encima de nuestras expectativas! Un restaurante recomendable!"

"Celebramos aquí el bautizo de nuestro hijo y tanto nosotros como los invitados quedamos encantados con todo, tanto el servicio como la comida y el ambiente de 10 y además con precios muy asequibles para todos nada que ver con lo que piden en muchos restaurantes para luego no ofrecerte ni la mitad de calidad que te ofrecen aquí. Además el trato desde el primer día con Yolanda la encargada fue excepcional, me resolvió todas las dudas que me iban surgiendo durante la preparación del evento e hizo todo lo posible por que todo estuviera a nuestro gusto. Fue un día inolvidable para todos y en gran medida fue gracias al restaurante el patio de san Juan, volveríamos a repetir sin duda. Muchas gracias a todos los trabajadores que lo hicisteis posible."

"Comida excelente relación calidad-precio, la atención del personal de10 cercano y paciente aparte de rápidos. Jardín y terraza con ambiente ideal para familias con niños (con juegos), antes de la reforma iba mucho individualmente y ahora es mucho más bonito, hicimos la comida familiar, 38 personas en total, tuvimos un salón individual y por poco precio hasta altavoces para poder bailar después, hay un piano que tocó mi sobrina y bailamos sin parar. Salimos tan contentos que ya hemos hablado de las próximas comidas y por supuesto las haremos allí. Gracias por todo."

"No es la primera vez que vamos y nunca nos defrauda. Es un clásico de la zona que tienes que ir por lo menos una vez, ya que te hacen disfrutar de la calidad de los productos. Además, en ciertas épocas realizan espectáculos en el jardín que tienen, ofreciendo un ambiente único. También hacen eventos, una opción interesante."
