We have been here on 2 occasions now. The service is horrible. It takes 30 plus minutes to get a drink. The food is mediocre at best. I had pizza which was nothing special. 10pies down the street is way better and the service is better. My husband had tuna and he said it was ok but the service made us not want to go back and we wonât. Hello GullickC,We apologize if you didn't enjoy your visits to our restaurant, we will definitely review our processes. There have been some crazy busy days but that is not an excuse to not offer a good service or make our customers wait so long for food or drinks. We will be making some changes to our menu and comments like these help us offer better options. If you do ever visit us again we hope to change your mind about our restaurant. Thank you!

We have gone to El Local a few times. The setting is nice, and the food pretty good and priced OK. But the service can be slow to atrociously slow which at this point will make me think twice about returning. I just don't think the server asking if "everything OK here?" when we've been waiting for 45 minutes for our food added to the experience!

The Black Sheep is unique. It is an original Boutique Inn that is 15 minutes from the beach on one of the highest mountains in Nosara. You will wake up with a mountain view and most likely surrounded by monkeys. Get away from the tourists and bustle of th

It's not just that K Raye is super-friendly accommodating and very interested in her guests that makes this the best pub in Costa Rica. It's the views overlooking the valley in the ocean. Several mush tree canopies with howler monkeys and other species of monkeys hanging from the vines and interacting with guests from afar. It's also that on Sundays you get the taste of live music and folks come up from everywhere Costa Rica together for drinks and music. Biergarten has incredible views under a rustic canopy. K Rae's place has beautifully kept Gardens with coconut trees. If you're lucky and agile she may let you borrow her machete and retrieve your own coconut. This is a great place for a meal and drink, get to know the local area away from the town of nosara.The pub is situated off the beaten path way up the mountain keep going there are signs that will let you know that you still have some distance to go every time you begin to think you've gone too far. Look for those signs it's a little out of the way but it is totally worth it this place is a gem.I stayed at the Buddha hotel in San Juanillo, surfed in mar bella then Guiones and made it a point to come hereHello Monica! I apologize for not responding sooner, I am just now seeing the reviews. Thank you so VERY much for such wonderful words. I am so glad you enjoyed this hidden gem. I appreciate all of your kind words and hope to see you again. have a wonderful day! :-) K-Rae

I ate garlic shrimp. They were a bit overcooked for my taste, but still tasty. It was served with rice and fresh cooked vegetables: a nice assortment. Others ate steak was excellent. Another had a personal size pizza which was still large enough to share. It was thin crust with not a lot of sauce.

We ate at El Manglar last night and positively loved it. The steak was perfectly done and the accompanying mashed potatoes and beans were delicious. The Healthy Pita Wrap was amazing - beyond expectations. And service from Angie was amazing - she knows just how much attention to provide, and she is a lovely warm person. The setting is so cozy - loved it! Can be a bit hard to find, but it is worth the search!Thank you for dining with us! We are so happy that you enjoyed your meals and were comfortable in your surroundings. We'll pass your compliments on to Angie. Please come back to see us again soon!

You can't beat Rosi's for the freshness and the value! Ate here twice on our vacay and both times we all loved our meals. We had the chicken filet with rice and beans and steak sandwich (was really good but heads-up, it's a beef stew on bread...would've had it in a bowl had we known). Service was friendly and pretty quick considering each meal is prepared fresh. We paid $20 for four meals. Best value in Nosara!

We had lunch here and ordered fish tacos (delicious!!!), pizza (Hawaiian and 10 pies) and a quinoa bowl and everyoneâs food was very good. Half way through our lunch some monkeys decided to come out of the trees and run along the power lines which was very exciting for us to see. Service was quick and the prices are super reasonable!
