PlaeMar

Reviewed By KenL60089

We had been out fishing that morning and Pleamar was located on the beach close to the marina. There isn't much to the place... the building with the bar and kitchen, some tables with palapas and the great view. We ordered some Casado con piscado and pollo and it was delicious. A few Pilsen cervesas to wash it down while you're looking out at the water and boats bobbing up & down and you have a great lunch spot. Thanks for lunch, Pleamar!

We walked up and had their "all day happy hour" (2 for 1 drinks) and dinner while watching the sunset on the beach. The staff was wonderful and food and drinks, delicious. They had live music as well. Highly recommend.

Located on the turn before Flamingo, right in the sea shore of Potrero beach, this place offers great views of Flamingo and the future Marina. Sea food dishes are very good. Service is great.

Father Rooster Beachfront Bar & Grill

Father Rooster is the premier beachfront bar & restaurant on the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The location and scenery combined with top quality (yet very simple) food and our famous frozen drinks makes Father Rooster a must see on your next visi

Reviewed By Birdguy

Our family of six had a fun time finding this place, and were glad we did. It's a great place to relax by the beach, have some tropical drinks and good food. We stayed around to watch the sun set on a huge rock between two islands off shore. The team of servers was very attentive. Our only complaint would be the constant battle to keep pesky flies off of our drinks and food.Hello Birdguy: Thank you for your review and for your business! I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. I have watched many sunsets between the mountain and island in front of Father Rooster. It is quite a display. Glad you enjoyed the food and drinks. I wish that we had a better solution for the flies. They come on occasion and cover the entire region--generally when the winds are pushing out from the farmland over the ocean. It is pretty tough to keep them at bay. In any case, thanks again for your business and please come back again soon!

Ander's Restaurant

Reviewed By JohnD-eng-esp

During a visit to Playa Conchal, arose the desire to feel connected to the surrounding neighborhood, so why experience the area through one of its restaurants?After deciding to arrive at Ander's Restaurant, it was immediately clear that excellent service would definitely be the standard for the rest of the night. Javier, our very attentive host, provided a warm and sincere welcome, and proceeded to inquire about any food restrictions and preferences, as well as consulted with Chef Ander regarding some options (not on the menu) to cater to a vegetarian's regimen. By surprise, both were happy to offer a few different plates that delivered on every detail.In relatively short order, arrived the most delicious, well prepared and nicely presented meals one could find in Brasilito. Nice texture, fresh ingredients, savory taste - perfect way to end the day.Add to that the authentic beach vibe, clean and orderly tables (glasses, tableware and tablecloths) and more than accesible price - for me that's an EASY five out of five "Excellent rating"!

Bar & Restaurant Las Brisas

Reviewed By Jenny W

We ate here twice, the second time because of proximity to our rental, and while the food is pretty good, the service is really slow. Even on vacation time, the service is slow! However, the music and drinks are great, so I’d only go back for that.

If you’d like an average hamburger for a lot of $$, this is your place. Server was the same lady from Ponciana the night before. She was very pleasant but the level of service was similar to Ponciana the night before. This was not her fault, I just think the property and management foster this level of service as acceptable. The burgers were mostly flavorless and very well done when we asked for medium or medium well across our group. We waited for 45 min before receiving our order. For lunch that is too long. We just wanted to eat and get out of there. I suggest buying your own ingredients cooking in your room!

This place has excellent local cuisine and a selection of local fruit drinks. The price is reasonable and the quality of the food was good. You will feel like you are parking in someone's front yard but don't be afraid to stop in and give it a try.

Soda Y Restaurante El Estero Azul

Restaurant Estero Azul is located near Flamingo on your way to Potrero. Before you turn right at the beach at Restaurant Plemar keep on going straight all way to the back of the road (about 100m). You'll find a fisherman's house with a small eating place

Ate here twice with family. Food is very good and exceptionally well priced. Service is at a good pace and allows to watch the world go by via the beach or sun go down over a few drinks etc. The patacones and the cassada with fish are exceptionally good.
