Food was fresh and the flavors were on point. Service stayed attentive but not hovering. Live music gave the place a nice vibe without being too loud. Solid stop if you&#39;re in the area.

The pistachio gelato here is legit. Creamy, rich, not too sweet. Mint chocolate chip was solid too, real mint not that fake toothpaste taste. Best ice cream I&#39;ve had in town, hands down. Wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price though.

The ceviche was spot on&mdash;fresh fish, lime just right, not overdressed. Sat by the window around sunset, that view alone is worth stopping for. Staff left me alone until I needed them, which I appreciate. Place got a bit noisy later, but that&rsquo;s on me for staying so long. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area.

Stopped by for a late bite after walking around the park. The Pollo Al Bosque was solid, though I wish they&#39;d given me a bit more sauce on the side. Had a glass of their house red instead of the usual beer&mdash;it paired better with the grilled chicken than I expected. Pineapple smoothie was a nice way to finish.

Falafel platter was fresh, salad bar had good options. Mango ginger slushy was a nice touch. Pricey but portions are decent.

Solid food, fair price. Tuna ceviche was the best I had in CR. Chocolate souffl&eacute; with vanilla ice cream, damn good. Two beers, two wines, a bunch of dishes, $54 total. Not bad for the neighborhood. Place was busy but we got a table quick.

Stopped by for lunch and the guy running the place actually came over to chat for a bit. Told us what was good on the menu and even pointed out a couple spots nearby worth checking out. Food was solid, nothing crazy, but the service made it feel more personal than your usual spot.

We sat outside and the view really is something else. Food was good, no complaints there. Our waiter Harley was super attentive, honestly made the whole thing easier. Saw a couple monkeys in the trees while we were eating, that was a nice touch. Bill came out a bit higher than I expected for what we got, but the experience itself was solid.

The view really is the main reason to stop here. I had an omelette that came out a bit dry, but honestly the banana bread was solid and I couldn&#39;t stop staring at the scenery. Sat by the window and just took my time. Would come back for that view alone, maybe skip the eggs next time.

The seafood soup was really good&mdash;fresh and full of flavor. Probably one of the best meals I had in Costa Rica. Waiter knew what he was talking about.

Split a casado here with my wife &mdash; plenty for two, about $2.50 each. The fried plantains were the best I&#39;ve had in months. I had a cold beer with mine, which hit the spot. Nothing fancy, but for the price, it&#39;s hard to beat.

Brought our own catch and they turned it into tartare, ceviche, and grilled steaks. Tasty, no doubt. Bill ran higher than I figured though, even with our fish.

The whole fried fish was so good, perfect for sharing with friends. Grilled octopus was solid too. Open-air spot right by the beach, super chill vibe. Service was quick and friendly. Would come back for sure.

The fish with passion fruit sauce was really good, and the portion felt fair for what we paid. Staff even helped us figure out the bus situation, which was nice. Tropical chicken salad was fine too, though I wish the portion had been a bit bigger. Place gets busy around noon, so go early if you can.

Been coming here for a while now, and the grilled squid over coals is still the dish I keep thinking about. Portions are solid, you won&rsquo;t leave hungry. Yeah, it&rsquo;s a bit pricey, but you&rsquo;re paying for the quality and that open kitchen vibe. I&rsquo;ve had better service elsewhere, but the food keeps me coming back.

Stopped here after Manuel Antonio. Got the tenderloin, cooked right. Not gonna lie, the view is the real star. Kids liked checking out the cockpit. Quick stop, easy in and out. Solid spot if you&#39;re hungry and in the area.

The carbonara was spot on, handmade pasta done right. Gorgonzola bruschetta stole the show though. Service moves at a chill pace, so don&#39;t rush.

The casado was solid &mdash; rice, beans, plantain, all fresh. That spicy salsa on the side made it better. Service was quick, no complaints. Place gets busy around noon but worth it.
