    The food was very good. Very good. The service was good also. But you’re assuredly there for the views. The view of the bay is spectacular from almost every table inside and outside. The patio is heated. And the drinks and food are beautiful. It’s instagram worthy for sure

    Expected much more from their fajitas. More Asian than Mexican, only two tortillas, and limited protein. Calamari is a hit though.

    We were a group of 7 women for lunch. The food was excellent beginning with the guacamole and salsa. Both tasted fresh and the chips were to die for, crisp and light. Most of us had the shrimp salad with figs and pears. It was delicious. Another person had the Ahi tuna tostada, it was pricey, but the Ahi tuna just about melted in your mouth. We also ordered the flautas, crisp, light and delicious. The macha salsa on the perimeter of the plate was perfect for the flautas. What can I say about the Blood orange margaritas? Also very tasty. Overall the service by Melita was outstanding. Everyone walked away very happy and satisfied with the choice we made of having lunch at Costa.
