Perfect for a celebration We chose this restaurant to celebrate our wedding the previous week. The whole experience was delightful. Erick who looked after us explained each course perfectly. We found the food to be off the highest quality and the matching cocktails were very tasty. When Erick found out that it was our honeymoon he arranged for an appropriate celebration. We had been looking forward to seeing the sunset, but it was very cloudy on the evening we went, but that did not spoil anything for us. We would highly recommend.

A highlight of Costa Rica This was one of the highlights of our trip. The food was sublime and the service was amazing. I would definitely recommend the 5pm sitting as it will give you an amazing sunset view while you dine.

Most amazing dinning experience in Costa Rica Went with my girlfriend to celebrate our engagement. The most unique, special and amazing dinning experience in Costa Rica, by far. The location, service, the whole scenery they create with the food, a story behind the experience its imposible to describe.

The location is beautiful,the ambience and music is great,the food is gorgeous and the way the food is presented to us by describing the various provinces in Costa Rica is very interesting.Carlos, who served us everything,was polite,patient and friendly.He was kind to answer all our questions. We had a wonderful and memorable time as a family!!

An Experience of a Lifetime My family had one of the best dining experiences in our lives. The location is magical. We had a great sunset, the sky was filled with color then the lights of town came up. All this while sitting at a table in a glass cube perched high in the canopy of the forest. Within this setting we had the most amazing dining experience. The dinner courses represented the different regions and people of Costa Rica. Carlos our experience guide wove a wonderful explanation of the people, regions and foods. The actual courses were elegantly presented and incredibly delicious. We savored every bite. I would highly recommend.

A Taste-Menu Splurge We enjoyed every course of the delicious taste menu, appreciating the consummate skill and care that went into all of the preparation. And the setting is simply spectacular. The service was good, but a bit inattentive, which was surprising, but not a problem. The overall presentation of the meal as a trip throughout Costa Rica seemed a bit gimmicky to one of us, but a nice framing to the other. How do you judge if a meal of $180/person is a good value? It is a splurge and a unique dining experience!

Excellence from the treetops! This was our best overall dining experience to date. The ambiance was unique, romantic and had you awestruck on arrival. The dining experience was truly exceptional , tasty and of high quality. Our server Carlos was excellent in explaining each course and its relation to different aspects of the culture of Costa Rica. Just excellent!

Beyond exceptional This was the most amazing dining experience I’ve ever had (moderately well travelled middle aged woman), and it made the day truly one of the best of my entire life, vacationing with my elder daughter who is now away at university. She felt the same. The food was exquisite, the service immaculate and gently theatric between history telling and serving (Brian was masterful), the atmosphere simply stunning (the 5pm sitting is a must for the sunset). They accommodated a vegetarian and pescatarian without any sense of want by either of us through our meal. While we aren’t drinkers and didn’t partake in the wine pairings, we found their selection of teas to be a lovely accompaniment to the meal (we made our way through a couple of pots each as the evening cooled down). Cosy plush blankets and a sloth hanging out in the tree next to us added to the wonderful atmosphere. This was a beyond exceptional experience we would recommend to anyone. Thank you for making this trip with my daughter extra amazing!
