    Fantastic service and beautiful venue. However, we were not allowed to sit outside, even though there weren’t any clouds or wind - it was perfectly clear. Not sure why

    Luis is an amazing server. Enjoyed the Asian seasoned ceviche. Flavors in the octopus became a bit muddied, enjoyed the preparation at Chao Pescao much more. The Pollo in curry sauce was much better. Chocolate sorbet perfect finish.

    Very attentive service, exceptional food- loved the Perla (sushi) experience. The spicy mango sushi was my favorite, and never tired of the Kakigori :)

    We thought the ambience and service were lovely . The food was very average . My husband ordered a New York strip steak and while cooked correctly at medium rare the steak itself was a very poor quality piece of meat. He had ordered steak several times throughout our ten days in Costa Rica. This one did not match up to previous steaks. I had a seafood pasta with nice plump shrimp and some other seafood in that was nice but it served over a mushy heavily sauced short pasta I initially mistook for rice---not a fan .

    The service was very good. The drinks and appetizers were tasty. However, my entree was not good. I could not eat it. The grouper was hard and dry. The black rice was bland and too oily. The main dish was simply unpleasant and not at all tasty. Because of that, I will not return. Also, there were too many insects ((open side dining).

    Excellent restaurant! We had a great breakfast with many options, but dinner was outstanding! We met Chef Bruno who whipped up the best ceviche we’ve ever had! This chef is a rock star! All the other dishes were also amazing! The service which is just as important as the food was great as well. Xavier. Joao and the manager Luis who we had a great conversation with were super attentive and helped make it a wonderful experience. We will be returning a few more time before we depart. I highly recommend this restaurant.
