This is a four star quaint and intimate establishment. Great Food, Fantastic Service and Fine Wine. We enjoyed a blues band while dining called Mustang65. Great place to meet your fellow expats, friendly bunch:)

Food here was delicious and fresh. great live music and friendly staff. I would go back here for sure. we had the bacon/cheese crustinis, then the tuna tower and steak nachos. I was stuffed! the margarita with a splash of tabasco was yummy.

Decent wine selection, music was a nice change of pace from the 24/7 reggaeton. On the pricier side but the quality and value it there. I don't care if you're a vegetarian or not - get the tenderloin!!!!

Tried one of the specials. It was overcooked, not lived up to expectations. Service was very nice. I will go back to give it another try.

On our recent honeymoon to Costa Rica we were staying at Zephyr Palace and wanted to venture out of our resort to dinner in Jaco since it was my birthday. Because of a review that I read on TripAdvisor about this restaurant we decided to come eat here, and we were so happy about this decision! It was absolutely the... More

Overall, in Costa Rica, I found the food average. This place had the best food that I encountered. The tuna tartare was out of this world and probably the best item I ate in Costa Rica. I also had the beef house special that everyone raved about. It was good but did not live up to hype. I have heard... More

This is one of my new favorite restaurants in the world. Those comments below that mention this being Americanized and not authentic should stick to the Sodas and out of a fine dining establishment. They have obviously never enjoyed a meal at a fine dining establishment. We started the meal with the tuna tar tar tower. We could have had... More

We ate at Graffiti based on the reviews on TripAdvisor and I guess I had my hopes too high. All of the waitresses spoke English but I got better service at restaurants where they primarily spoke Spanish. Slow service is to be expected in Costa Rica but with the very American feel we expected a little bit quicker service. I... More

We at Graffiti try to stand out as being different, our flavors are from the world of fine cuisine not from any one geographic location. Cleanliness and orderly does not mean we are from the US or are "Americanized". Our servers spoke to you in English because you are American. If you would have preferred for them to speak in... More

I hate to say this place was more American than other Costa Rican restaurants but I loved it. It was Costa Rica fusion maybe? In any case, huge selection of wine and very good apps and atmosphere.. Even had a great life band as well. This is a tiny spot so reservations on a Friday night or weekend and you're... More

This place is unreal!! We were in jaco for 5 days and went to grafitti three times. The staff is amazing and we all had by far some of the best fish dishes we've ever had. If you go to jaco this place is a must!!!! Thank you guys for having us :)
