Stopped here while wandering around Monteverde and honestly so glad we did. The mint lemonade was super refreshing and portions were big enough to share. Great spot if you&#39;re hanging with friends. 😊

The veggie curry was fresh and tasty, especially with some hot sauce on top. Coconut flan was a nice finish too. Service was solid, and the view didn&#39;t hurt either.

Been coming here for a while now, and honestly the coffee keeps me hooked. Grown right on the property, that&rsquo;s something you don&rsquo;t find often. Had the French toast this morning too, eggs taste like they just came from the farm. Breakfast is the meal I look forward to most when I stay. Place just stays consistent, that&rsquo;s why I keep coming back.

Decent spot with a modern vibe. They even had American football on, which was a nice surprise. Service faded a bit after the food came.

The beef noodles were really good&mdash;we ordered those after they ran out of ramen. Prices are fair for what you get. Just expect a bit of a wait.

The view from the top floor is really something, especially around sunset. Had the Caribbean chicken, pretty solid. Service was a bit slow but nothing crazy.

Good portion of gallo pinto for the price. Had to ask for Salsa Lizano though, would&#39;ve been nice if they just brought it. Solid spot for a quick bite.

Dinner was solid. Had the grilled fish and it came out fresh, cooked right. Waiter Kael handled everything efficiently, no waiting around for refills or the check. Place was busy but we didn&#39;t feel rushed. Fair price for the portion. Would stop by again if I&#39;m in the area.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the veggie plate. Food was filling and had good flavor. Service was friendly, not rushed. Place is pretty big inside, so finding a seat was easy. Only thing is it got a bit busy around noon, but that&#39;s fine. Solid spot if you want a relaxed meal.

Food was decent, and the staff were friendly enough. The beer selection didn&#39;t do much for me&mdash;I&#39;m used to more craft options&mdash;and the price felt a little high for what you get. Still, it was a fine stop for a quick bite. Maybe not my first choice again, but not a bad experience.

Service was the highlight for me. Our waitress kept checking in without hovering, and my water glass never sat empty. She even noticed we were taking photos and offered to take one for us. That kind of attention made the whole meal feel easy. Food was good too, but honestly, the service is what I remember.

The sunset view alone is worth stopping here. We had the veggie pizza&mdash;plenty of toppings but the dough came out a little doughy. Service was slow, though the ingredients did taste fresh.

The fresh pasta really stood out to me &mdash; light and well made. I also tried the churros with leche and chocolate, crispy without being greasy. Nice to see gluten-free and vegetarian options clearly marked on the menu. Presentation was thoughtful too. I&rsquo;d come back just for that pasta again.
