About
The Red Door hides a lush, palm-shaded garden behind an ordinary Tamarindo street front — intimate, lightly lit, with live music and knowledgeable servers who steer you toward the right dishes and wine. The ribs fall off the bone, the snapper comes fresh, and the shareable hummus arrives in a portion built for six. It's a romantic, unhurried dinner spot; sit outside and you may spot monkeys, so bring mosquito spray.

I went here for a quick dinner with my friends. After doing some researching, we found that this is one of the more touristy places in Costa Rica. So we looked over the menu and decided that we would order a platter that would feed up to 5 people. Although it was only three of us it was. It made the most sense. The platter came with a salad, a side of rice, side of potatoes, salad, mixed vegetables and four different proteins. In my opinion, everything on the platter was good except for the filet mignon and the other beef. The platter also had a side of halibut which to me was overcooked. It had the texture of chicken which I didn't like. It was very chewy. The service was very good and I wish was a very nice. She gave us recommendations and suggestions for drinks on the menu. She was really nice. Aesthetically the restaurant is very nice. I can imagine what it would be at night. But it before you go there, I would recommend bringing some mosquito spray with you.
My wife and I came here for the first time not knowing what to expect, and we were completely blown away by the food, the flavors, and the hospitality—it’s no exaggeration. Miss Elizabeth was our server, and she was timely, attentive, and incredibly pleasant. Thank you, Elizabeth, for making our first visit such a wonderful experience. If I could give this place six stars instead of five, I would. While dining outside, we even spotted some monkeys in the trees and a lizard nearby, which made the experience even more unique. Just a heads-up: the flies can be a bit relentless outdoors.
We came for our birthday last night and had a wonderful experience. The live music was beautiful and our waitress was phenomenal. I have a dairy allergy and they were very accommodating. The live musician sang happy birthday and so did our waitress and gave us a complimentary dairy free churro plate. They made it very special, the food and drinks were delicious, and the restaurant was beautiful.
