This is a truly excellent restaurant. The service was first class, the food delicious and the location really special. I am something of a collector of restaurant experiences around the world and this certainly gets onto my recommendations list.There is the choice to dine (outside) in the central courtyard or (inside ) in the rooms surrounding the courtyard.

The food was excellent and the wait staff was terrific. Our waiter, Carlos, was very friendly and helped make our one night stay in San Jose even more memorable. Definitely make this restaurant part of your trip itinerary!

The atmosphere is incredible. It is the perfect mix of regal elegance and... More
