    Si en Costa Rica existiera la clasificación Michellin , este restaurante tendría 3 estrellas para el Chef y 3 estrellas para el restaurante. El lugar es acogedor y muy bonito con un jardín interno que hace de la velada una especial. El servicio excelente, los meseros se presentaron, el mixólogo nos dio un cóctel de cortesía / bienvenida y explicación, el mesero nos trajo un aperitivo de cortesía con la debida descripción que estaba exquisito. La comida un absoluto WOW , el pulpo , el mero y los ravioles de camarón extraordinarios, diferentes, creativos , porción justa y exquisitos. El postre unas torrijas formidables . Lo mejor, el precio muy razonable , hasta diría que bajo para la calidad que recibimos . Carta de vinos muy buena y con precios razonables. Relación precio calidad sorprendentemente buena! Volveremos todas las veces que podamos FELICIDADES!!!

    El restaurante es magnífico y es una verdadera referencia en el país... sin embargo, el nivel de ruido causado por la música arruina una parte importante de la experiencia. Un restaurante no es un bar (precisamente tienen una zona de bar y una de restaurante), es un lugar donde debería imponerse el silencio y la posibilidad de la conversación relajada. Por lo demás, un lugar de referencia.

    La comida de buen nivel. Mejorable él setas tartar. Calidad en los productos: ostras, queso, jamón.... al finalizar la comida nos dicen que no podemos tomar un gintonic, pero si un licor. Según nos dicen la dirección no les deja servir para no hacer horas extra. Nos dicen al llegar que el bar está abierto hasta las 6, pero ese día cierra a las 4, tampoco podemos tomar allí el gintonic.... en este sentido muy mal que no dejen poner el broche a la comida con un combinado. Lamentable

    Buen servicio y el lugar es ameno. Los cocteles estan muy bien preparados. En cuanto a la comida deja mucho que desear. En lo personal me parece que quieren reinventar la rueda o cambiar platos solo por cambiarlos. Los cambios son buenos cuando mejoras la versión pasada pero el cambio como un fin en si mismo puede estropear un buen producto si no se ejecuta bien. Debo decir que el tartar de carne estuvo excelente con toques diferentes que si mejoran el plato. En cuanto a los scalops, la emulsión de tuetano mata por completo el sabor del marisco. Lo que mas me decepcionó fue el Ribeye que venía bañado en aceite de trufa falso como si quisieran esconder algún sabor. El arroz meloso con cetas estaba ok, pero una vez mas abusan del aceite de trufa falso por lo que se hace muy dificil detectar otros sabores en el paladar. Recomiendo mucho el speak easy del mismo sitio, Tres Perros. Un menú mas honesto y gran ambiente. En ambas secciones el servicio es top para los parametros de Costa Rica.
