Got tilapia and crab risotto , the tomato flavor was super tasty with chunks in it. Nice ambience, generous portion , and more pricey than other Costa Rican restaurants .

Pete Roome

Superb restaurant . Great food. The beef rib was a little overdone , a touch dry. The pork and plantain tacos were amazing though - can’t recommend enough.

Elizabeth Quiroz

Great place to sit at the bar looking towards the street. It has a diverse menu but not your best best for authentic Costa Rican food. You can see more tourists eating here than locals.

Eric Bross

Lemon scented Tilapia with crab and red pepper risotto is amazing. And it pairs well with a fresh Caiparinah and the Cevicé starter.

Schenniver

The risotto with squash was great, you should try it! Chicken breast was ok. Next time i would take more Risotto and quit the chicken .

Josh Booth

Quite possibly the best ribeye I've ever had. Tuna tartar was outstanding as well . Order your steak one temp under what you actually want it to be. Best meal we had in Costa Rica.

Roberto Torres

This is a wonderful place to have lunch or dinner ! Don't forget to taste a delucious dessert ! The service was excellent ! You must visit it !

Holy shit. Ordered the chateaubriand here, I almost, ALMOST ate the entire thing. Nearly 20oz of just meat! So fresh too! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Supposed to be the best restaurant in town but we found it only so-so.

Sergey Yavryan

Ordered Rib Eye , it's very poor and doesn't worth trying.

Roberto Asin

Excelente Pasta con camarones con Cajun , la carne preparada en su punto y el risotto con tilapia total enter recommendable. El Servicio es muy bueno y amable. Totalmente recomendado.

Andrea Esquivel

Los patacones y el casado tradicional son los más deliciosos! El casado es un platillo muy completo que es más que suficiente para una persona.

Fabio Usai

Está es un grata sorpresa, todo lo que pedí fue un contraste de sabores acompanados de un buen vino y de un risotto que en la carta parecía la típica gringada....pero al llegar era refinado y sabroso

Meli Araya Sanchez

Perfecto para compartir incluso si no son muy comelones alcanza para más de 3, muy buena atención

El pollo de la abuela espectacular, el risotto tiene mas pollo que camarones y el ceviche también no se lo pierdan !
