Setting is lovely, service is exceptional and food is exquisite. It is an ideal taste experience to try dishes from many different Central and South.American countries. The only problem is deciding what to eat. Plan on repeat visits to try them all!

Service and vibes were good but some dishes were just alright. Depends on what you get. Sizes were decent and bigger than typical tapas.

The noise level was only rated higher because we were there on a live music night. Service was great, the small plates were more medium sized and all were delicious. staff gave great recommendations. All in a wonderful Costa Rican night at the beautiful Andaz.
