4.7 / 5.0(351 reviews)

This restaurant had a beautiful atmosphere. The jungle encompasses the area without being too strong. The food was phenomenal and you could truly taste the quality. The restaurant was sophisticated due to the resort's atmosphere. Overall a great place for a fancy dinner. Beautiful atmosphere, great service. Food was ok - lomo with the spicy tagliatelle: beef tasted good and was tender in a tangy soy but the pasta wasn’t spicy at all, gallina chicken dish was the very good and unique, shrimp and fish duo were under seasoned and underwhelming, and chicken with balsamic had a nice sweet balsamic reduction sauce but breast was bit dry (would have been better brined or marinaded to made it juicy.) A good option for variety in the area. Smoothies were good price but bit too much water and the glass was shaped so the drink was small and the straw was not long enough and kept sinking into the drink. Okay food, okay service, very bland atmosphere. We came for lunch and the restaurant was quiet with no music. Myself and three others in my party ordered the poke bowl— they all got tuna but I opted for chicken because I have a fish allergy. When they brought out our food I was surprised to see that the chicken was fried (very untypical for poke). I asked our waitress to switch it to grilled, which she did, but when I got my food all of the other people in my party were done with their meals. The meat portion was small— about 2oz, the rice was pretty hard, and the bowl was not very flavorful. The fruit was fresh, but the bowl overall was mediocre compared to other poke across Costa Rica. I would say to skip over this place.

We ate here three times while visiting Costa Rica. Everything is delicious! Especially the tuna tar tar, taco trio, sea duo, tuna pesto risotto and surf and turf. Shout out to Daniella, Monica, and Andre for the great and friendly service!

Very recommend! We were 5 people, we ate few starters, mains, and desserts, with cocktails. Everything thing was between good and extraordinary. Prices are high, but not exaggerated. The best dishes, in our feeling - The Ceaser Salad (with chicken) and the Brownie. All mains were very good, with the exception of the Chicken Pasta Pesto - which was good but not above.
