Helen was such an amazing waitress, she took our photos and was very attentive. The restaurant itself was a 10/10 the food was cooked to perfection, we got the sea seafood platter. I will definitely be coming back!
Amazing atmosphere, delicious food with huge proportions, and an amazing service team! I highly recommend choosing this restaurant for a fine dining experience!
We came here for dinner because of the ambiance, and it did not disappoint. Our server, Christian, was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend coming here instead of some of the crowded tourist restaurants in town. The flavor is here, the seasoning is here, and coming from an African-American household where good seasoning matters, I can honestly say the food was full of flavor and well-prepared. The atmosphere is beautiful, inviting, and has a very classy, romantic feel. Overall, the environment was warm, friendly, and welcoming. We will definitely be back! -sade & naz
This restaurant is incredible! I loved the experience as the food and service were clearly high quality. Our waitress was a lovely young lady from Argentina that fell in love with the country (can't blame her). Here you will find delicious seafood, meats, and assortments of rice.
I went here for a quick dinner with my friends. After doing some researching, we found that this is one of the more touristy places in Costa Rica. So we looked over the menu and decided that we would order a platter that would feed up to 5 people. Although it was only three of us it was. It made the most sense. The platter came with a salad, a side of rice, side of potatoes, salad, mixed vegetables and four different proteins. In my opinion, everything on the platter was good except for the filet mignon and the other beef. The platter also had a side of halibut which to me was overcooked. It had the texture of chicken which I didn't like. It was very chewy. The service was very good and I wish was a very nice. She gave us recommendations and suggestions for drinks on the menu. She was really nice. Aesthetically the restaurant is very nice. I can imagine what it would be at night. But it before you go there, I would recommend bringing some mosquito spray with you.
