    So good we went twice in three days. The fish of the day was the some of the best we've had in Costa Rica. Owner did an excellent job making sure our Celiac son was taken care of. We made reservations which make sure we got the beach front table. Highly recommend!

    We visited this restaurant last night to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and while the experience had its highs and lows, the breathtaking views made it a memorable evening. Watching the sunset from our table was truly magical—the most stunning I’ve ever seen. It created the perfect ambiance for a special occasion. The highlight of our evening was definitely the passion fruit margaritas. They were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—a must-try for anyone visiting. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations. While we were hoping for a meal that matched the beauty of the setting, the flavors and presentation fell short. Overall, this is an incredible spot for drinks and taking in the scenery, but if you’re looking for outstanding food, you might leave a bit disappointed. We’d return for the views and cocktails alone!

    We always have a wonderful experience at this place but it was extra special for a birthday celebration. Christian our waiter went out of his way to make sure we had the best time. The ambiance is perfect, the food is delicious as always and we will definitely be back to enjoy it again and again. Thanks for being a wonderful place to celebrate.
