Upon exploring the road from Dominical to San Isidro we stumbled across this bar and restaurant. It was very reasonably priced with good food and a spectacular view!! We tried the Pescado Casado and a seafood rice dish. The Garlic Pescado Casado was delicious. Make sure to visit when the sky is clear. The clouds can roll in quickly and obstruct the spectacular view.

We stopped for lunch following our tour of the Wildlife Sanctuary. It has a spectacular view and the food was very tasty too. Staff were friendly....a bit more expensive than other places we had eaten but it was worth it!!! Be sure to check it out!

I recently stayed for a second time here and again loved every minute of it. The place is very lively, comfortable, affordable and the staff is exceptional. Being in close walking range to the beach and surfing made the experience that much more memorable. I will definitely be back soon! :)

We have been there 3 or 4 times. All the times the food and service was decent, nothing espectacular, but we liked mostly because of the location. The first time we were served by an adult guy, who looked and act like the owner. He acted very nice, but at the end, when we got the bill, we just received a handwritten paper with the total amount. We mentally calculated and it seemed wrong, so we went to the cashier and ask for the details. On other handwritten bill (the one that the server/owner writes himself and give to the cashier) it was written down some items that we didn't order at all. We clarified the misunderstanding (which sometimes can happen, you know), and the owner dissapeared, not apologies, but that's fine, it was 50% chance that it was a mistake. So we decided to go back a 2nd time, asking again for the bill at the end, little "mistakes" again, like changing the prices from the menu. The third and LAST time we were also charged like 4 times for the drink that only 1 person ordered. Every drink had added extra colones on the price (more than showed in the menu). The cashier (a mature lady who didn't act very nicely) quickly calculated the new total and gave us the total, but we calculated ourselves and the total was wrong again, of course over charging. This time we definetely left with the feeling of being ripped off. I hate dishonest people, and no matter if you food or service is good, if you are trying to rip your customers off, that is NOT CORRECT. Also, not giving proper invoices is illegal. I didn't mind that the food was overall, or even if the server didn't check on us. What really matter for me is the HONESTY, for locals, for tourists, just be fair and honest on your bussiness and you will have success. Otherwise, keep stealing from your customers who TRUST YOU, when you give them the total amount handwritten. Every dollar or colon you are stealing from your customers, actually you are stealing to yourself. And this is for all, for the owner (s), cashier and servers, because they were all involved on these dodgy/tricky transactions during all the 3 times we went there. Hoping you get honest, starting paying your taxes, giving receipts to your customers, so they can check that everything is correct, and RESPECT THE BUSSINESS. For people like you, the customers start to be distrustful. Ps. I can see that this restaurant also have very bad reviews from last year regarding the same issue (overcharging), and I'm not surprised.Buenas Noches! Gracias por su opinión! Queremos comentarte que ya tomamos cartas al asunto, ya que entramos al sistema de factura electrónica, con respecto al dueño, que soy yo quiero decirte que no estuve presente, y no tuve el placer de conocerla, pero si gustas me das tu correo electrónico, para poder proceder y hacer devolución del dinero cobrado de más. Mi correo es [email protected], si tienes la factura a mano agradezco que le tomes una foto y me la envÃes.

De nuevo mil disculpas, y si vuelves garantizo como dueño que esto no volverá a suceder! Buenas Noches!

The best ambience in Uvita, in the Southern Pacific Costa Rica. It's a ranch style restaurant, no doors, spacious, ideal for groups, families and tourist alike. International couisine and typical Costa Rica food.

We randomly picked Marino Ballena Restaurant because we were hungry and tired after several hours on the beach and in the ocean and it was near. We had no expectations. We were greeted by the very lovely and gracious Jessica who instantly made us feel as though she had been eagerly waiting for us to arrive. Not only were there 7 of us and a very vocal baby but we arrived when they were just about finished serving lunch. No matter. Jessica happily took all our orders, quirks and all, and remembered where each exception to the menu was to be delivered. The food was delicious and Jessica never lost her charm.

We visited Tortilla Flats on our second day. I literally fell in love with the atmosphere, the view, and the PASSION FRUIT BASIL MARGARITA. I am not a fruity or sweet drink person, but this was amazing! So amazing I returned nearly daily for another, haha. We tried a couple of the appetizers and one lunch while there as well and really liked the food. We prefer to sit at the bar and banter with the friendly bartenders. The seats are also higher for a better view of Dominical Beach. There are local vendors set up close by and tourists passing. It's a great place for people watching and just relaxing for a bit.

We were volunteering at the nearby Reserva Playa Tortuga and were having a wander in the local area when we saw the signs for the Bamboo Rooms. As we were walking the 'only 500m to go' signs made us keep going when otherwise we might have given up, not knowing if it was open or not. Quite a lot of ups and downs later and we finally made it, hot and sweaty, to the Bamboo Room where the owner came and chatted to us.We had wonderful cool drinks and ice creams and sat in the bar overlooking the most amazing views over the tops of the trees in the valley below and out to the sea where our volunteering sea turtle patrols took place.A wonderful find and one that we hope other volunteers to the reserve will also make the trek to now that they have the fliers we took back :)
