   An amazing tasting experience. New flavors exploding in your mouth. Ingredients coming from local markets and entrepreneurs. I also liked the explanation and history around each plate.

   Fuimos al restaurante pero por llegar a la hora del cierre de la tarde no se podía hacer el menú degustación, pero la mesera nos ofreció platillos extraordinarios de la región y con un sazón maravilloso.

   This is a lovely old restaurant where the staff are attentive without being over bearing. The lamb was cooked to perfection.

   Todo estuvo excelente, una velada acorde para la ocasión que celebramos 30 años de casados Dos comentarios que se indicaron el momento y fueron bien recibidos. Estuvieron relacionados con uno de los platos y el vino (maridaje del Chef) del menu de degustación; otro punto a favor fue que en ningún momento hubo excusas sino aceptación del comentario tomándolo para mejorar y esmerándose para brindar un excelente servicio. Definitivamente volveremos por una nueva experiencia!

   Todo super bien, desde el trato hasta el cambio de preparación en platillos para ajustarlos a la dieta personal. Sólo dos puntos particulares: - El uso de chocolate blanco en los postres los desluce montones, ya que no aporta textura/sabor realmente agradables. Fuera de eso, excelentes. - En la reservación me consultaron si se celebraba alguna ocasión especial, (un cumpleaños de hecho) pero no usaron el dato para nada, ni cuando llamé a hacer algún par de consultas. Para qué necesitaban el dato entonces? La cena fue increíble, pero no hubo ningún detalle distinto referente a la ocasión, cosa que si sucedió en la mesa de la par. Necesitaba ser más específico? De ahí en fuera, una experiencia buenísima.

    I wasn’t going to indulge in the 8 course dining menu, but I’m so glad I did. This was a lovely meal full of interesting flavors and wonderful Costa Rican history as told by my server, Palmiina. The restaurant was very accommodating to my pescatarian diet and shrimp allergy. The basic wine pairing added to the meal was very good with perfect pairings. I especially enjoyed the sea bass with the Tempranillo. Delicious. It was a slow pace so plan accordingly (3.5 hours). It was a very enjoyable experience and an outstanding value for a wine pairing dinner. Thank you, Restaurant Silvestre, for a great evening!

    The ambiance was good, there was a great room that apparently is only for large groups which is where I would have preferred. The good was very good, service was good. The location is on the fringe of the city center, it was within walking distance for me, about 10 minutes, and although I did walk there, it was early, about 5:30pm or so, but I did not feel safe walking back and the restaurant confirmed that I should get a cab, which was fine, it was $8.

    Excellence. Simple and brilliant excellence. We all had the tasting menu with the classic pairing option. All 8 courses were creative and superb, the pairings were perfectly chosen. Service was attentive and helpful at all times. The only observation is that the music in our dining room was a bit loud. Otherwise, an unforgettable experience.

    La comida muy creativa, es definitivamente toda una experiencia culinaria. Los sabores la mayoría de nuestro gusto, hubo algunas combinaciones (la rana dorada) que no a todos gustó. Sobresaliente la boca da camarón, el pescado en salsa de palmito y el cordero Terrible el sonido dentro del restaurante, le resta confort, deberían trabajar en generar un poco más de control sónico.

    This was not exactly an enjoyable experience. I brought my significant other for his special birthday dinner. The waitstaff was very inattentive. When we finally were able to order our food, it took over an hour to be brought at. After at least an hour had passed someone decided to come and inform us that the lamb was not of good quality. The food was mediocre at best. Initially I wanted to try the tasting menu but due to it be later in the evening when we had dinner, I was told this was unavailable. I was overall pretty disappointed.

    A special experience. The tasting menu with paired wines is a relaxing journey through quality ingredients and flavors I haven't encountered before. Some dishes' presentations are a little gimmicky but the cooking itself is sophisticated and eye-opening. Truly fine cuisine. The wine pairings kind of lost the theme ... Tasted good but would have preferred more local/regional offerings. Expensive but no regrets.

    Pagamos por los 8 tiempos de comida y los primeros 3 platos tenían un sabor muy similar además de llevar la misma crema de camote por lo que se sintió poca variedad de sabores, el plato de lomo la carne estaba dura y fría( se supone que en un restaurante de este nivel la comida debería ser entregada a la temperatura ideal). El postre estaba muy pesado. Los refrescos naturales no estaban tan buenos.

    Una muy buena experiencia. Antes de entrar en detalle de los platos quiero decir que se nota que el equipo de silvestre lleva buen tiempo investigando, probando y saliendo en busca de ingredientes y productos realmente autoctonos. Se podría decir que es la cuna de la cocina Neo-costarricense y pensaría que el origen de un movimiento que pueda llevar la gastronomía de Costa Rica a dar un paso al frente. En lineas generales todos los platillos fueron super interesantes, con sabores y texturas que hacían mucho sentido. Es una propuesta arriesgada pero muy bien ejectudada. Mi único pero, y esto es por que no soy muy dulcero, es que el segundo postre (la esfera de osa) estaba muy empalagosa. Dicho esto, el primer postre que es tipo un waffer con heleado ha sido de lo mejor en postres que he probado últimamente. Por momentos sabía a postre de alta cocina y después daba un golpe de nostalgia a la merienda del cole (digamos que es una galleta Festival de la Pozuelo pero en esteroides). No es para ir todos los días, sin embargo siempre que reciba a algún amigo extranjero está será mi primera opción, confiado de que es única en el mundo.
