About
A Quepos crowd-pleaser where the filet mignon and surf and turf headline, alongside a jumbo shrimp and portobello plate and a big arroz con pollo. Order the guac and chips, keep an eye out for macaws overhead, and expect warm staff, fast service, and fair prices. The menu covers familiar ground, but people keep calling it the best meal of their trip.

We stopped here for dinner a few nights ago. The filet mignon was delicious. My wife had the Casado, and I had the filet mignon. The boys had a casadilla. All the food was good, and the service was great.
Earthy meets exquisite... Jumbo shrimp and portobello: Culinary artistry on a plate. The dish is a triumph of culinary artistry, balancing the delicate snap of jumbo shrimp against the robust, savory umami of the portobello. The Chef has achieved a sublime harmony here, using the meaty texture of the mushroom to ground the brightness of the seafood.
Best dining experience I've had in all my life. Came with friends and was warmly greeted by the staff and chef. Ordered the surf and turf and el ranchito cocktail. 10/10. So yes, come eat here. Hurry up actually.
