First 2 dishes were just wow - magnificent. We tried a variery of dishes. They were amazing to divine with a nice twist and all dishes were beautifully composed with a lot of depth, sweet acidity balance, etc.. We will need to go back to try the rest of the great menu and repeat a few e.g. the incredible pork belly and the fresh catch starter. Also a lovely mixologist with very interesting refined drinks. Go and treat yourself with a special meal in foodie town Santa Teresa. Thank you to the whole OS Team. Maybe the only minor improvement would have been a different order of the dishes reflecting more a menu like journey as these dishes deserve being enjoyed in the right order. See you soon we can't wait to be back!!!Thank you so much for your kind word and feedback as we always love hearing osn ways that we can continue exceeding our guests' expectations. We look forward to welcoming you again.Pura Vida!

A recent startup beach club at the northern part of Santa Teresa. Nice and casual seating with surfing activity in front of you. Friendly staff but still learning. Had an enjoyable midday lunch and mind cash only. One disturbing fact is that they do not offer the local beers but only the expensive imported.

Reviewed By robbowan

This was quite frankly a great little restaurant. Great service, but unfortunately they managed to mix up my dish and another guys dish (I had the leg of lamb and he the shoulder - big difference) which we sorted out ourselves.Also a bit confusing when the bills come out in USD and they don't inform you of their exchange rate and you pay in CRC and it doesn't match up as you have another rate than the restaurant.Still... Tasty food, good service, nice ambience and the best served wine I had all two weeks.Hello! Thank you for your review. We are very sorry about the confusion with the dishes, we recently opened and we are still learning, trying to improve every day. About the exchange rate, we offer the prices in dollars to make it a little easy for the visitors, but we exchange the currency at the same price as the bank. We are glad you have a pleasant experience despite the mixing up! Hope to see you again another time!

One of the great pleasures of Santa Teresa is outdoor dining, and it's even better when the beautiful restaurant is on the beach. Delicious and attractively presented cocktails, and more interesting wine list (than others in Santa Teresa), and creative Latin inspired dinners -- together with a palate-cleansing shot of cucumber gazpacho and a tamarind-infused shot to round out the meal. Highly recommended for a more "special" night.Dear RedSabreThank you for taking the time to write such a positive review. We are very happy that you really enjoyed our place.

They have an amazing Natural fruit parlor; not sherbert- its the most delicious alternative for people who need to avoid diary products. The texture, quality and taste is beyond what your palate has experienced. All you folks coming to Santa Teresa for the outrageous Surfing and Yoga mind relaxation therapy,,,, please check-in. This will soothe your senses. Oh yeah, and the Tacos are yummy too!

This place isn't bad, just a bit unattentive at times.Both the tuna and mahi-mahi mains were good, although, personally, the tuna cold have gone a slightly shorter time on the grill. Also a great little salad on the side.Ok cover bands on Thursdays.

They have a great selection on the menu, and some of the best casadas you're going to find. They had a couple different shrimp specials that were excellent. The avocado salad was huge and very good. Fun place to watch a game with some locals! I would go back.

Reviewed By 761jeffreyz

I've stayed at Casa MarBella four years in a row now and this was the first time we walked up the short path to Brisas. I can't even explain why we hadn't before but I'm glad we finally did. We ended up going twice. Once for pizza night on Friday and then once again for the regular menu. My entire family enjoyed the grilled pizza and we hung around until we were stuffed and had to waddle down the hill. I think this would be a weekly event for us if we lived in ST. The regular menu is spot on as well. I highly recommend the seafood tapas and the calamari tacos. For dinner I had the crispy tuna which was a real treat. This whole place has a really cool vibe with a great deck, some very laid back tables with couches, a funky bar and good music. I also thought the prices were very reasonable for the food served. One thing I did notice, it did not appear that they had included the 10% service charge on the bill that is customary in most CR restaurants. So tip accordingly.

This place is an absolute gem. I had the tropical ceviche with mahi mahi. Every culinary element covered. The sweet from the mango and passion fruit, the sour from the lime, the crunch from the peppers and onions, the spicy from the ginger and jalapeno. The owner was running the show and was incredibly friendly and hospitable.You simply won't find a tastier and refreshing meal after an afternoon on the beach.Thank you for your kind words my friend it was a pleasure to have you in for a bite.
