About
A longtime Puntarenas seafood spot with a colonial-style veranda catching the ocean breeze near the beach. The fresh fish draws the best reviews — octopus, a large perfectly cooked red snapper, generous ceviche — with options spanning tight budgets up to a $20 whole fish. Some diners find it pricier and more tourist-oriented than nearby spots, so it's the fish and the setting to come for.

The octopus was some of the best I've ever had. The Red snapper was huge and perfectly cooked. Largest dish of ceviche I've ever had. Service was impressive and the views from the veranda were beautiful.
It's in a nice spot. Expensive for what you get. Mashed potatoes reheated and out of piping bag. Food was very plain. Microwave heated basically. Service was good. It's the epitome of a tourist trap. Other restaurants in the area charge much less and food is amazing. Street vendor food in the area is amazing. So much better than this place.
We had two good fish courses of local fresh fish, attentive staff, lovely colonial style verandah where you can eat your meal.
