About
A newer seafood restaurant that quickly earned a following — the whole fried red snapper comes crispy and well-seasoned, the sea bass in seafood sauce and the tuna draw raves, and there's a seafood stew and sushi rolls for range. The chocolate lava cake is a repeat winner, and the papaya smoothie gets its own praise. Diners keep marveling at how much you get for the price.

Super cheap for what you get! The first time we went here the service and food felt like we were in a Michelin star restaurant. Our waiter was Christ, he was just excellent. We hat the black & white tuna and the sea bass in seafood sauce with fruit smoothies. The papaya smoothie was awesome. We came here again for breakfast the next day (menu in my pics). It was also really good and worth the money. In the afternoon we came here again for the dessert. We had the lava cake and the fried ice cream. They were good but not as excellent as the rest of the food and compared to the other food rather expensive. Finally we also came here for our last dinner in la Fortuna. This time I had the pork ribs and I must say I was a little bit disappointed but that was probably because my expectation were so high. It still tasted good :) I hope this restaurant gets more visitors and will be more well known soon.
The food was amazing! The restaurant was just next door to our hotel, and we had our breakfast there for three mornings. At the last night, we decided to try its dinner. I ordered shrimp and sea bass, and my husband had quesadilla. They were both surprisingly delicious and the price was very reasonable. I would have had more meals there if I had known the food was amazing. The service was also great. Highly recommend.
We wanted to eat seafood and decided to try this place. Apparently it's a fairly new restaurant, but has some good reviews. We thought the food was great! Since we were coming up on the end of our trip I decided it was my last chance for rice with shrimp, so that was my choice. My wife ordered a whole fried red snapper. Both entrees were great and for dessert it seemed appropriate to have chocolate lava cake. Which was truly fantastic! Along with the great food, I'm the service was excellent and the atmosphere very relaxing. It's definitely worth a visit if you're up for seafood, although there are some non-seafood items on the menu.
