    The experience was wonderful. From the very attentive staff and details, decor, and location to the food offerings and taste. Paloma (the waitress) was amazing and explained everything related to the tasting menu and special Costa Rican traditions in a friendly and welcoming manner. One of our party did the tasting menu while the other ordered a la carte and they timed the delivery impeccably. I would highly recommend the restaurant and overall experience.

    Just a fantastic experience end-to-end. Like to think I’ve been to many nice restaurants and I’d put Sikwa up there with any of them. Outstanding food, great drinks, and most importantly, world class service. Our waiter made our night with perfect recommendations, and on-the-house tastings - such genuine excitement about the food and Costa Rican heritage. A perfect first meal in Costa Rica that will be impossible to top!
