About
A polished seafood restaurant tucked in a residential pocket a 20-minute walk from Coco's center — a pool-side patio, easy to book over WhatsApp. Diners rave about the build-your-own seafood trio (mahi, mackerel, shrimp, half grilled and half blackened) with pineapple and chimichurri sauces, a perfectly tender octopus appetizer, and the complimentary soups the kitchen sends out. Manager Diego gets named repeatedly for making the evening. Worth the walk out of the center.

As a vegetarian, I’m always attentive to menu options — and I was genuinely impressed. My pasta was excellent, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. My friends ordered seafood based on recommendations, and they loved every dish. The cocktails clearly reflected quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation — you could truly taste the difference in every detail. The entire experience felt vibrant, refined and memorable. A standout spot in Playas del Coco.
This is my third time going over a 3 year period and the place just gets better each time I go. Easy to book, you can literally WhatsApp them from your their Google profile. Our waiter Diego was fantastic and all of the others really. The drinks amazing and the food, just so well done. The chefs even gave us some different sauces to try on the side that we hadn’t ordered and they brought a delicious starter soup that I wasn’t even expecting. A wonderful experience. Thanks so much to the whole team.
Octopus Appetizer was cooked perfectly! Extremely Tender! Just kind of a small portion for 4 people. Good Fish and a Whole Head on Shrimp! Very good Flavor! Got the Blacked Mahi Mahi and Grouper. Small portion for the price of it. It had some awesome Heat (spice) to it! Salad was very good with the Dragon Fruit Dressing! Sautéed Veggies were cooked perfectly and tender.
