Best Pina Colada I’ve had in Costa Rica! Excellent fish sandwich that was large enough to share so a great value. Great music, staff was pleasant and an amazing view!

We were in Uvita and saw a sign for this restaurant while driving back from the beach at lunchtime. Since it said ‘waterfront’, we decided to give it a try. What a find! The food is amazing, the views wonderful, the service excellent. It was...cicada season and they were pretty darn loud, but the whole experience was a colorful treat.More

First, the location of this restaurant is amazing. If you want a beautiful view of the ocean, this is the place. The service however was really poor. We ordered our drinks which came relatively quickly. We then ordered our food and we literally did not...see our waiter for another hour and a half. We were not asked if we wanted another drink, we had no water refills. It may have been a particularly busy night This is completely understandable and if a waiter would have apologized once or even come by our table to ask if we wanted another drink or explain why our food was taking so long we would have being more understanding. After about an hour and a half our appetizer arrived and our mains after about an hour and 45. The food was good though!More

So many reviews were glowing and we’ve been very disappointed. We stayed here and ate a number of meals, including breakfast, lunch & dinner. The best part are the staff who are hard working, friendly and gracious and the views are spectacular, especially at sunset!...The breakfasts are plentiful with fresh fruit and options including a very good granola, & eggs with Pico de gallo. For dinner or appetizers, the calimari was inedible,& the fries were soggy. The fish fingers were fresh and tasty.. A fish special of mahi mahi was very good and served beautifully with nicely prepared mashed potatoes and vegetables. All this is to say the food is inconsistent and food is only fair with minimal seasoning. All are plated attractively.More

The view is breathtaking! Spend some time sitting in the rockers overlooking the ocean while you enjoy a delicious cocktail. Then move down to the restaurant (still great views) and enjoy a yummy meal and great service! They also have some great hiking trails that...we didn't have time to go on, but next time we will make the time!More

I had the Mahi Mahi special the second time I ate here. The first time I had the tuna. Usually I don't order Mahi Mahi in the U.S. because it never tastes good. This place did an amazing job with the flavory, how well it...was cooked, and they also have quite a bit of style in the preparation. I can't believe there is hardly anybody ever at this restaurant with it's million dollar views. I have spent twice the price at other restaurants and it wasn't nearly as good. The grounds surrounding the restaurant are very beautiful.More

We visited this place twice in our stay. Cocktails in the bar to watch the sunset over the Whales Tail, followed by excellent and reasonably priced food in the restaurant, also with great views over the ocean. The menu is varied and has something for...everyone. The staff are attentive without being fussy. Not much car parking space if you are not a hotel guest, but that’s no reason not to go.More

This is a resort restaurant so expect that in pricing! We had lunch there with two mojitos, two beers, their version of fish and chips (Mahi). I had the beef fajitas, which portion-wise I’m glad we got the fish strips 😉. My wife had the...mahi-mahi with Costa Rican sweet potatoes as it was delicious. The view was great; the cool breeze made it perfect for lunch. Worth wild if in the area, easy to get to, and credit cards are accepted.More
