A truly unforgettable finale to our Costa Rican honeymoon. Every dish was exquisite, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Anderson was absolutely exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely memorable. He elevated an already wonderful evening into something truly magical.

I would not heaitate to recommend 11.47 to anyone in San Jose. We got the 5 course tasting menu with the drink pairing and every detail was sublime. Every ingredient had a story, each flavor complimented the others, the plating was creative and beautiful and we were mesmerized and delighted with each bite! The service was great … felt cared for without overdoing it. The dishes were a perfect blend of celebrating the farm to table and true to Costa Rica experience, while also elevating each dish with innovative takes on traditional flavors. For the final course, the dessert knocked it out of the park. They created a gorgeous coffee ice cream sloth, over a caramelized banana log with some type of crunchy brittle heaven drizzle. My description doesn’t do it justice … just take it from me and GO TO 11.47!

My daughter and I celebrated both of our birthdays at Mystique while staying at the Retreat. From the salad to dessert, we had a lovely, delectable, gluten-free experience there. Wait staff was attentive and impeccable. Next time we're here we'll be reserving the Mystique!
