    Good flavours, they have a chef that respects ingredients and have a good technique; so you will have a good average culinary experience, but is far from extraordinary, and certainly the prices are some of the highest in Cartagena... Pastry on the other hand is poor we need to be honest a brioche with pastry cream is not a proper dessert and even less not a 18.000 cop one... Bread offered as a starter is good though, warm, crunchy well formed starter dough sour bread; but then make a Café, a restaurant is not just the scenery...

    We absolutely loved Botika (the gorgeous bar) especially our waiter Michael Pardo. He took such excellent care of us and told us the history of hotel/bar. He was approachable, kind and knew the menu very well. All the drinks he recommended to us were excellent. We really enjoyed the “hospital theme” of the place and it is by far the best place to watch the sunset in Cartagena. We will definitely return back to Botika.

    (Translated by Google) Horrible decoration. Slow service. Delicious food but nothing out of the world. Fully hotel restaurant. I do not recommend it. (Original) La decoración horrible. El servicio lento. La comida rica pero nada del otro mundo. Restaurante totalmente de hotel. No lo recomiendo.

    Amazing experience! The rigattoni was spectacular! The tartar salmon was amazing too but could be a little bit bigger. But the best part was Robinson and Jose be our waiters. They are really polite! Amazing experience and beautiful place

    I decided to bring my family to this restaurant during my vacation, because of the reviews, but unfortunately it was not what I expected. The service was not great, I finished my drink and no one ask me if I wanted more. Food took some time, we waited for a while, they offer us some bread on the house which was hard, it was old to me. They forgot giving us napkins and no one offered us any water. They had a lot of waiters, this was poor management. I asked for the check and it took them like 20 mins to bring it to me, and to top it off my mother in law got food poisoning after eating their fish. Not worth the money. What I did like was the architecture the place is nice to look at.

    Gorgeous location. Check out the El Coro bar next door for cocktails first if you have time (go before 5pm for the crypt tour - sadly we missed out). Our food was very good and larger portions than we expected.

    Wonderful food and excellent service! The servers Amada and Ingrid took great care of us. Thank you for all you do.

    I had the best coffee tasting with Dalexandro and Maria this morning - they were so helpful and gave me the best coffees that colombia can offer- thank you guys !

  • 2/5 Adam B. 1 year ago on Google
    Ambience and service is great. Food is meh. Prices are over the top for Cartagena. Ordered the guacamole and it came with just a few chips. When we asked for a few more chips they said that there would be an up charge of $4. Crazy. Really? In a city where you can get a full meal for $4 this just seems offensive. We are already being way overcharged for a meal and you can’t give us a handful of chips to eat the overpriced guacamole? Super disappointed. When you serve average food at exorbitant prices, don’t nickel and dime your customers.

    the best dinning experience so far!! this is a bit late review. i was there few months ago hut promised to give a good feedback as our experience was one of the best we had for a hotel dinning. the service staffs were great dealing. They are perfectly trained in delivering a good service and what hospitality should have. Five star to the kitchen team they were also great. Food taste and atmosphere is super good! i highly recommend. hope to go back here one day

  • 5/5 bob r. 1 year ago on Google
    Had such a amazing time at the hotel the service was immaculate Lady Amanda and Señor Robinson were spectacular service -we will be back. Service throughout our stay was fantastic in all restaurants. Also Gabriel the Concierge took GREAT care of us and our family. The only issue we had was the television in our room. Technician came three times -apparently it's an issue with cable company.

  • 5/5 Todd M. 1 year ago on Google
    I have never experienced a lunch buffet with such a variety of amazing tasting dishes. Sure, I’ve been to plenty of giant buffets, but it tasted like every dish on this buffet was specially prepared. Would recommend.

  • 3/5 Courtney Q. 3 months ago on Google New
    Beautiful garden atmosphere, poor service and food. I would recommend for a drink before going to a better restaurant. We visited on a slow Sunday night. We were seated immediately and brought water. Then we waited 25 minutes and no waiter came to the table. We finally got up and asked to see a waiter. We waited another 5 minutes for the waiter to arrive and had to ask for a drinks menu. We ordered two dishes, both weren’t particularly good. The steak had clearly been sitting - it was barely warm, dry and tough. We weren’t provided steak knives and it was hard to cut through the meat.

  • 4/5 Juan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful setting, but depending on the weather can be very hot (ask for a fan if needed). The food was beautifully presented, but nothing special. The service however was excellent. 3.5 stars

  • 5/5 Steven A. 1 year ago on Google
    Jose Manuel was our server today and he was amazing! Made great recommendations and was very tentative to our needs. 5 stars! Highly recommend this place

  • 5/5 Heidytorr C. 1 year ago on Google
    This gotta be one of the best restaurants in Cartagena together with the next door restaurant (same place) 1821- I visited both and omg! They are to die for. Definitely on my top 7 restaurants around the world. Both of them. From the service to the food! I asked them for the desert I had had two days before at 1821. They tried so hard to get it to me, then when they could not find it, they brought me all available deserts so I was not disappointed. A must try for sure!

  • 5/5 Yvette B. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is wonderful! Not only is it very classy and beautiful, but also comfortable and charming. Our servers, Robinson and Jose were amazing: very friendly, attentive and charismatic. Would definitely recommend Jardin Santa Clara for a date night or a family outing!

  • 5/5 Erika C. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful garden setting to enjoy the air without the heat. Absolutely delicious menu - highly recommend the hummus and the salmon tartare. The best was the service, Jose Manuel was attentive, warm and professional. A gem in Cartagena!

    From the ambiance to the food to the incredible service, Jardín is a hidden gym in the heart of Cartagena at the Sofitel hotel! My server Jorge provided exceptional service and paid attention to even the smallest details. The food and cocktails were EXCELLENT! Looking forward to returning

    Jose was a great waiter with fantastic service! Very attentive and answered all questions with a smile.

  • 5/5 Dmitry D. 7 months ago on Google
    Had a great dinner. Jardin ceviche and salmon tartar were excellent. Brazed beef (pictured below) was great in rich sauce full of flavour. Grilled prawns were perhaps just a tad dryer than ideal. They show all the desserts they have on the plate. All of them looked great. We chose coconut and were very happy with it. Note the space is not air conditioned although the garden does provide a very nice atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Mikhayla M. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was 10/10. Robinson & Jose was very attentive and super helpful. Lovely to talk to as we we’re very enthusiastic about our food. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the Lobster tail with a side of mash potatoes. I had the prawns as an appetizer with fries. Very flavorful very delicious. Robinson & Jose - thank you for an amazing night!

  • 5/5 Greg J. 11 months ago on Google
    A very beautiful setting surrounded by a lush garden, light bulbs strung overhead and the calming serenade of frogs. The food was very good and the service was exceptional. Marcos and Jason were attentive, they knew when to be there and when to be nearby. Their attention to the small details was above and beyond. The night was magical overall.

  • 5/5 Angela V. 1 year ago on Google
    Service is divine. Food is outstanding. Facilities up to par. Decor is natural exotic flora. We sat outside and I was worried about the heat but they have a fan and streams of fresh water all around which cool the entire place. Our server and busser were incredibly welcoming and pleasing but never over bearing. Overall 5 star experience. MUST STAY IN THIS HOTEL NEXT TIME. ❤️

  • 5/5 Laura S. 9 months ago on Google
    We LOVE the Jardín restaurant. The food is outstanding - everything we tried was delicious including the desserts - and the service is unmatched! Ronaldo and Jorge were so attentive and kind!! Jimmy is like family to us at this point, he recognized us after four months and set us up at our same table. The thoughtfulness of the staff here is truly beautiful and so welcoming. Set in the gorgeous garden of the Santa Clara hotel, the ambience is fantastic, at night you can hear the sounds and the lights are magical. A must visit restaurant!!!

    Yuuuuummmmm. I haven’t even paid yet and I’m sitting at the table leaving this review! The guac was delicious with handmade chips (ask for more if you need!) and then the braised BEEF. Y’alllllll don’t let the braised beef get away! Adriana was a wonderful and attentive waitress and a week into my trip, I can say confidently this was my best meal. 🤤🔥 Edit: I jumped the gun. Look at these dessert options!!!!!

  • 4/5 Richard S. 2 months ago on Google New
    Went to have dinner at Restaurante 1621 to find out they only have a 7 or 12 course prix fixed so they recommended their sister restaurant next door in the Sofitel hotel. Jardin Santa Clara is a beautiful out door restaurant serving fresh and sustainable cuisine. I tried the Pargo platero , gray snapper , a grilled filet with cherry tomatoes , nice . My opted for the Ensalada de Vegetales, a salad with golden and red beets, goat cheese and pepitas over lettuce very good.

  • 5/5 Shelley G. 4 years ago on Google
    My family and I came across this place by default. We were supposed to go to a restaurant across the street from this place, but it was under renovations. I am actually happy that happened. This restaurant was one of the best places we ate at in Cartagena. The staff accommodated our large group (11 people) and we were seated in the courtyard. The setting is breathtaking. The white sangria was some of the best sangria I have ever tasted. Because we were a large group, I was able to sample quite a few menu items. The braised beef was heavenly and can be eaten with just a fork. Supoer tender, super delicious!! The seafood soup, Excellent!! The caribe salad, tasty and refreshing! The octopus ceviche, divine! The snapper, delectable! Don't sleep on this spot!!
