Can't beat the view . The food ain't to shabby either. Try the fried snapper with an imperial beer , kick back and enjoy some of the most impressive views Costa Rica has to offer.

Dione Moxley

The seafood plater for Two includes all the local seafood catch of the day. 2 lobsters ,red snapper . mahi mahi , large and small shrimp , calamari , clams on a bed of lettuce with roasted red Peppers ! Omg

Good bar , with decent food, and an actual C-123 from the Iran-Contra scandal built in. Check out the history in the link. Good view of the Pacific. Read more

Amazing sunset ! The prices are reasonable. The service there is nice and kind. I would recommend it ! Nice idea with plane , it makes place much more interesting.

Elisabeth LaMotte

I really enjoyed the chicken and rice . The restaurant has the most views to look at while you're dining. We even saw a sloth hanging in a nearby tree .

Derek Watson

Fantastic venue, the plane is brilliant and food is excellent with many vegan options . Try the Amber IPA or the Pineapple Daquiri

Make sure you try the blackened chicken fingers to start. Great price on Flor de Cana rum . Went here 2 nights in a row because the food was so great!

Bethanie Cundy

Was so amazing! Had grey mint frozen lemonade and the view is something else! And we were joined by a couple sloths

Adnan Manjal

Great food. Always go with local seafood . Coconut shrimp is fantastic. Teriyaki mango sauce is lovely. Vino is barely decent. Recommended.

Nicky Zintchenko

Great food at really affordable prices ! The view and the theme is worth the trip on it's own

The best restaurant we've seen in CR so far! These guys know what service is about, unlike most other costa ricans. Great ambiance as well . Loved it and highly recommend it! They made our evening!

See if the corner table is available. They save it for special guests, but they don't define what that is, so you could just get lucky.

We went straight to the beach because we had done a tour in Monteverde a day earlier. The monkeys and racoons were good fun to watch. The views are stunning and the atmosphere is relaxed. - Jeroen van Diesen
