Este encantador restaurante de mariscos, ubicado en la pintoresca costa pacífica de Costa Rica, es un auténtico paraíso para los amantes del mar.

    This is by far the number one restaurant in Jaco. The food is delicious and the ambience, especially at the time of sunset, is unparalleled. We are visiting for two months and this is a restaurant we visit often. Don’t miss out on this experience!

    Reservation for Friday at 7 pm no problem. Live music and kitchen staff running at all times moving food. Great drinks and great food. Relaxing spot on the beach, large comfortable chairs and tables, fire pits on the beach and a couple of cats saying hello. Lots of good options on the menu. Prices on the higher side but very good food. There are a few locations.

    Stephen our waiter was rude and I can say more but I reckon he needs his job. The ambience was wonderful, restaurant is on the beach and the sound of the majestic waves is absolutely peaceful. The ceviche and carpaccio was great but the tuna tartare was not the best. However, the passion fruit margarita was drowned with orange juice.

    Beautiful beach front restaurant served on a terrace with live music. First class service. Menu spans seafood, steak and chicken, pasta dishes. Everything was delicious. The perfect dinner to mark the end of our Jaco stay. Salud!

    We enjoyed our meal so much we went back again. They were accommodating to allergies and the food was amazing. Pricy, but worth it. The only problem was I made the reservation through Open Table and I had confirmation for one time and they had a different time in the system. We were able to sit for our reservation time and enjoyed a delicious meal while watching the sun set over the ocean.
