We were very satisfied with our experience! The food was full of flavor, the staff were friendly, and the prices were reasonable. We enjoyed it so much that we came back again the next day. To our surprise, the owner even treated us to a complimentary appetizer —such a warm and generous gesture. Highly recommended! Must order the fish and shrimp soup. WOW! My fiancé mentioned he really enjoyed his chicken sandwich. Lovely service and affordable prices. Restaurant atmosphere was very nice. It’s a small place and parking is restricted, however. The food was delicious. We ordered the ceviche, tropical chicken, the beef tenderloin (twice, it was that good!), and the passionfruit cheesecake. The ceviche was fresh-tasting and had lemon flavors. The tropical chicken was a blend of tender, savory chicken with grilled pineapple. The beef tenderloin was the highlight of the night. We ordered medium-rare and the meat was very tender. The flavors of the steak used coffee which was unlike anything I tasted before. So creamy and sweet with such a unique blend! Finally, the passionfruit cheesecake was the perfect way to end the night.

This was BY FAR the best food we had during our stay in La Fortuna. We had the Corvina Fortuna and the Tropical Chicken, and both were so amazing. Their drinks so yummy too. They brought the food out super fast! We ate dinner here on our last day in La Fortuna, and I wish we could go back!!

Amazing food and drinks! Best civiche I have ever had! Very good service and they did not skimp on the alcohol in mixed drinks. Definitely recommend!
