The first OOF Restaurant - Parrot Club - was established in 1996 by Emilio Figueroa and Gigi Zafero Figueroa - and it quickly became a San Juan favorite.

After having met and worked together at the El Conquistador Resort in Fajardo, they reunited when they found the great Old San Juan building with 20 foot high beamed ceilings and a palm filled brick courtyard. The team designed the entire concept, from the colorful dining room decor and open kitchen plan down to the last menu detail.

They knew that they wanted a place which reflected the warm and sexy Latino-Carribean feeling. A place for friends to gather for authentic tropical cocktails, hot Latino music and the flavors of the island. They called it Nuevo Latino cuisine, evolving more from a combination of Mexican heritage, classic culinary training and Puerto Rican experiences.

The Parrot Club has become a San Juan tradition with the locals; and visitors to Puerto Rico consistently enjoy the Parrot Club experience. Every creation from the kitchen and the bar is done with the tropical Latino concept in mind, from the passion fruit daquiris and the bacalaitos (cod fritters) with spicy crab salad  to the dulce de leche cheesecake.

In 2000, the team opened a new concept, Dragonfly, which features Latin-Asian cuisine, just across the street from the Parrot Club. Once again Emilio and Gigi designed everything from A to Z, and the result is a red hot, intimate lounge feeling room, with wonderful food flavor combinations that are meant to be shared. In 2004, Dragonfly expanded to include Dragonfly Too, a Latin-Asian sushi bar, with another dining area and bar and a sexy Oriental style lounge.

In 2002 came Aguaviva, next door to Dragonfly. Aguaviva specializes in seaside latino cuisine, complete with a fresh oyster and ceviche bar facing the long open kitchen. The water theme reflects in the sparkling turquoise and white decor, and the extraordinary seafood menu.

In 2005, the OOF team opened Fogata in the Old San Juan Sheraton Hotel. A Latino bar and grill, Fogata features steaks, chops and seafood with all the Latino style fixins. The theme is fire and the vibrant colors and glowing red bar are not to be missed.

OOF Inc Restaurants continue to evolve and to be passionate about the culinary future of Puerto Rico. With over 150 dedicated employees, our company strives to continue turning the food and restaurant concepts we dream of into a wonderful story that continues to get better each year.
