Reviews
Beautiful setting. Lovely servers. Mediocre food. Dry Mahi Mahi. Was looking forward to the Tuna tar tar but it’s made with teriyaki sauce. 😩
I had an excellent experience at this restaurant. The food was outstanding, with exceptional flavor and presentation. The atmosphere is beautiful, welcoming, and very enjoyable. I would also like to recognize Randall, Abigail, and Carlos for their kindness, professionalism, and attentive service throughout my visit. Their outstanding hospitality made the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.
Excellent food and ambience! We decided to go back second night in a row for dinner! We asked for eggplant parm and mushroom ravioli, which were not on the menu, and chef Carlos made it to perfection! Our waiter Carlos went over and beyond to make our dinner experience wonderful! Thank you so much! The views from the restaurant is phenomenal and added bonus! Would highly recommend!
Amazing last night in Costa Rica. Thank you Carlos for the great service. Happy hour drinks as the sun set followed by a wonderful table service dinner. I had the sea bass with seafood on top. My wife had the chiapeno with a butter sauce. One of my son's had the pesto and my other son had salmon in a vodka sauce. The sea bass was a little bit soft, though tasted great. Everything else was exceptional. The chiapeno was one of the best my wife said she had. My son wanted the terimisu for dessert. I did not have high expectations in costa rica, though it was exceptional, some of the best I had. Carlos said the secret is costa rica Cafe Rica coffee liquor they use with it. Felt at home, sad to have to leave.
We had our best lunch in Costa Rica so far. Our food is well prepared, presented and cooked. The service is also excellent. With their spectacular view, we really had a good time.
