    First time in Costa Rica and this is the place you need to go if you like fine dinning! Ordered their tasting menu with 8 courses which each course came with a story and a small experience! You can tell the details and efforts the chef added to this menu and was cultured at the same time! Tried different Costa Rican flavors and plates executed at a very high level! Definitely will be back for their new menu and definitely recommend! Their service was on point and the place is perfect for date night or to impress.
