Saul Bistro Escazu

Reviewed By pau22018

We went there for breakfast and the waiter came back twice to the table to tell us that there were no more beans for a dish we oredered and the that there was no more salmon for another dish we ordered.Incredible that a restaurant runs out of ingredients in the morning.

L'ancora da Ciro & Tony

Reviewed By MitchellZ2222

From the decor to the chef/owner signing for your special occasion, you will really enjoy this landmark. The food is from the old country. Everything at this place is fantastic! Don't miss out on the desserts. All homemade, my favorite is the creme brulee with blueberries. Eat family style, off the menu or make a request & Tony will serve it up. Don't miss this wonderful experience.

Bacchus

¡Do a culinary trip through Italy in a rural late XIX century house! We are specialists in artisanal italian cuisine. We cook with classic and fresh ingredients that give unique flavors to our plates. Inside the restaurant, walls vibrate with art collecti

Beautiful open air patio, excellent service, unusual and traditional dishes that are phenomenal. Parents-in-law said octopus was the best they ever had. My son loved the lasagne. Freshly squeezed juices are always a treat and made from fresh whole fruit, and flan, cotton candy, and chocolate lava cake were hits. Beautifully constructed building with art on the walls. My favorite of the many restaurants we have tried on the biannual visits to this area. Highly recommend.

Sapore Trattoria

An enchanting restaurant in the very hearth of San Jose, with authentic Italian cuisine and spotless service. Everything is hand made. Try the Festa della Pasta, for a fix price you can try 5 different handmade pastas. Enjoy our brick oven long fermentati

Reviewed By family32606

Service was very spotty. Waiter uninspired and not at all helpful to the two gluten free diners at our table. The ravioli and the pizza I shared with my friend we’re ok (ravioli lacked flavor) but the greatest disappointment was that both dishes were barely warm. The pizza had sat for so long that it was soggy. Prices seem high for the quality, presentation and service.

Limoncello

Reviewed By AMajch

Went for a business lunch. Greast surprise. All dishes ordered were made to perfection with large portions and good service. The place is set in an old San José house and it is welcoming. It has private parking on the side. Came here because 2 people of our group have gluten issues. There were plenty of choices for them. We all enjoyed. We will be back.

Restaurante Grano de Oro

Restaurant Grano de Oro merges Costa Rican tropical with European cuisine under the expertise of our French chef Francis Canal. Once a simple cafe, this restaurant has evolved into one of San Jose’s finest dining establishments, frequented by locals and t

Reviewed By luismanesp

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.

Everything about this restaurant was superb: the ambience, the waitstaff and service and especially the amazing food prepared by chef (and co-owner) Richard Neat. And we never anticipated finding one of the best restaurants we ever ate at in Costa Rica! We started our evening with two of their creative cocktails which included a Passion Fruit Martini.For our main dining we chose the Degustation Menu...an experience not to be missed. Five courses— each with two different tapas which were so artfully constructed and presented, I hesitated to try the food before I could first take a photo! It was that unique and creative! And delicious. Each course was accompanied by a small glass of wine which was perfectly paired with the food. Our whole dining experience lasted two hours. It was like being a part of an “Epicurican Theatre”, The intimate restaurant is set within an indoor/outdoor antiques shop displaying a beautiful collection of pieces from mainly Indonesia. It was karma sitting amongst many Buddha’s, wood and stone art, as well as water features and gently swaying paper lanterns. Hats off to international chef, Richard Neat! He and his staff made our anniversary an event to remember.Dear Mimi and Michael. Thank you so much for your company and review, we're so happy that you enjoyed yourselves. Have a great continuation of your trip in CR and congrats on that project. Best wishes, Richard

Reviewed By thomasbolas

Cristian was our waiter and provide us with warm and pleasant set. The food was wonderful. The only request I have is to NOT microwave the bread as they did and to serve real butter in lieu of the artificial butter made with rapeseed oil. Dear Thomas,We´re glad that you enjoyed the food and the service of Pimento. Thanks for sharing your comments, your opinion it´s very important for us. Forward to welcome you soon.Best regards,Ricardo Menendez,General Manager.
