Vibrant and packed with Victorian mansions, Costa Rica's rowdy, bustling capital was built on the profits of the coffee trade and working "golden bean" plantations still surround the city. Try freshly roasted local beans at Mercado Central. For shinier gold, visit the Museo del Oro. Many renovated landmarks now house stylish hotels. Usually viewed as a hub, rather than a destination, nightlife is concentrated in Spanish village-inspired El Pueblo. Don't miss the elegant 1897 National Theater.

Had the set lunch and it was a good value. Service was great and the good was good. Downside is that parking is very inconvinient.

Had a nice experience at this Farm to table restaurant. It is a beautiful place and the service was truly outstanding ... so attentive. The bread that came to the table was absolutely delicious. I am not sure if their food is organic or not, but they do advertise that itâs from the farm. I could not find much of the details of what that means but it certainly is a great place. I ordered some fish and it was just average although the sauce and everything was beautiful (it was a bit rubbery... I probably shouldâve sent it back but I donât usually do that). All in all it is a wonderful environment and I will try it again

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 gfâs 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.

On Avenida Central there are a couple Spoon Bakery & Restaurants. No need to speak Spanish as the laminated menu has photos. We both ordered a salad, mine was a Mediterranean chicken salad with extra avocado and we both had fruit drinks for 5650 colones. Next time weâll go for coffee and cake in the afternoon. There were short intense downpours of rain and a light rain jacket and umbrella worked well. It was windy and chilly in the evening and we both wore light weight fleece jackets. Diesel air pollution was an issue for me after 48 hours in this part of town, so we moved out to the Los Yoses area.
