We ate here as part of a tour luncheon and the food was excellent and they did a great job serving us. The guacamole they served first was terrific and the roasted vegetables and sliders were both excellent. And we loved the atmosphere!

Isolina is modern gastronomy in a place with history. We have a constantly evolving menu. We also have a wine cellar that has a wide variety, and our Deli, where we offer takeaway products.

So my gf and I wanted to go for a nicer dinner while visiting San Jose, and selected here. Nicely appointed restaurant with a nice garden patio out back (we asked if we could sit here when originally seated in the restaurant, and they accommodated us). They also have a very cool wine room up front you can ask to go see - do so. The food was presented very nicely, and was good - but not great IMO. The servers were very diligent and clearly they are trying to ensure their service is top notch. If anything, we felt a little rushed as they were a touch overly diligent. We came for a night out and wanted to take our time. The waiter got my entree wrong, which worked fine for us waiting 10 minutes for another pork belly. Actually was ideal as we were splitting both entrees. Had this not been the case, they should have offered to take my gf’s lamb back to deliver both meals at the same time. Worth a visit, but may want to clearly advise the wait staff you want to take your time with the meal at the onset if that is your goal.Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate the time you took to tell us with details about your experience. At Isolina we work very hard everyday to achieve guest satisfaction and provide them the ideal experience.We are sorry we did not meet all your expectations regarding the experience, be certain that we will continue working to improve.

We so enjoyed our meal on our first night in Costa Rica that we returned when we were back in San Jose. The rump steak was excellent - really flavorful - and prices were reasonable. There were a variety of size steaks which is perfect if you don't have a huge appetite. The service was fast and friendly.

Very good local food and service. I recommend the Ceviche and Plancha fish. I was there alone but I think this a good place for groups too.

The menu has a big alert along the bottom warning you of the 27% service charge for the restaurant. Do your math beforehand so you don't end up shocked, even if you did see it coming (raising my hand here).The service was friendly and attentive but the food took my attention here. What our group had to say about it:Veggie causa: Mushrooms, carrots, peppers, and broccoli on the mashed potato heaven. Very good.Pasta with shrimp: Sauce was unique and super creamy. Shrimp cooked well. Tasty.Chicken with ham: Essentially a cordon blue. Cooked well with good ham. Cabbage salad was tasty.Was it worth the 27% service charge? Depends. If you have access to great Peruvian food elsewhere, no. If you don't, yes. But after a review of our receipt we saw they had taken several hundred colones of the prices of our meal, dropping it lower than what we should have paid. Thank you!If you are not on a budget and want a fancy night out with great Peruvian food, this is the ticket.

We had a lovely meal here during our stay in San Jose. The steaks were excellent and cooked to perfection, as were the accompaniments. We also had an excellent Argentinian Malbec, and 2 different desserts which were really tasty too. The service was very friendly and the decor and ambience were spot on. An excellent experience overall.

Having lived in Argentina I have to say this place is one of the most authentic Argentinian places I have been to. Of course they serve a whole lot of non-typical things too but everything that you might expect from a real parilla is available. And tastes amazingExtra points for an amazing ambience.

I visited the restaurant with mum and some dear friends.The restaurant is located inside Grano de Oro's Hotel.The atmosphere of this place is exquisite and absolutely unique in San Jose because the architecture of this hotel, despite is a recent work (modern) evokes the beautiful charm of Victorian architecture. There's a refined work of interior architecture and details which well worth a visit and which will make you feel you into another era.But not just the atmosphere counts, food is wonderful, tasty, refined and prepared with love and care.In the menu you can choose a wide variety of delicious dishes made with local ingredients and french cooking techniques, as well.I strongly encourage people to visit the place. It worth it!Luis Manuel Espinoza R.
