Like many of you, for some sorry reason, I like to read the negative reviews first. In this case, I read the negative reviews after we dined. As usual, the one stars are made up of kooks. This is a phenomenal restaurant! Iâm a steak snob, very picky. The filet, one of the best ever. Service was terrific. Donât miss this place. Best in Tamarindo!

Our family had a wonderful evening here! Marco immediately made us feel welcomed and entertained. We ordered 3 pizzas to share and my husband went inside the little shop to select a wine. With guidance from Marco, we enjoyed a spectacular bottle of red. The pizzas were perfect as was the fresh bread with oil. For dessert we shared a Tiramisu, based on seeing the rave reviews in this app. It was truly incredible and I donât usually like tiramisu. Highly recommend this magical place!

We went there 3 times during our two week stay. Unanimous choice for our group of two couples. The staff are very good. The menu is large and sometimes hard to choose which to have. Fresh snapper with leaks and cream, pasta dishes, gnocchi gorgonzola all delicious. Nice red wines. Made it to dessert only once, gelato was very good.Very good, will return. Reservations if larger group for sure.

The Shrimp Hole, casual seafood restaurant with the sunny deck, situated only one block from the beautiful beach of Tamarindo. This tropical 'hole in the wall' style restaurant serves a simple but mouth watering menu. We use sustainably farmed shrimp and

It was a dark and stormy night - on a Sunday evening off peak season that means most restaurants are closed. Not Shrimp Hole (which I had been trying to get to for several days).Fantastic fresh seafood, amazing friendly service and a VERY clean and comfortable air conditioned spot while lightning and thunder went on outside. Ordered a poke bowl, a classic, a beer and a cocktail FOR MYSELF (I was hungry) and nothing disappointed. Never having another poke bowl in NY again.

An unparalleled dining experience, El Pelicano is the culinary jewel of Tamarindo. A dining experience like no other in Tamarindo: an elegant atmosphere with a âchicâ outdoor terrace offering a view to Tamarindo Boulevard

I went through the (easy) hassle of joining TripAdvisor just to rave about this restaurant. We have been in Tamarindo for a week, eating everywhere, and gave El Pelicano a try because (a) it just looked nice, and (b) well, it looked nice, haha! The three of us were very glad we did. My son (15 yrs old) got adventurous and tried Seabass for the first time and loved it. Two of us split a steak and chicken dish and both were delicious!!! Oh, we started with a sushi appetizer that was great too. The sauces were wonderful for the entres.Out waiter was Kevin, who was incredibly nice and attentive. We have found almost everyone in Costa Rica is really enjoyable, and obviously that was the case at El Pelicano. Ironically, we walked by the restaurant a couple days before and told the host, Santos, that we would be back in two days and it was pretty funny that he remembered us when we walked by tonight. Really nice guy too! The restaurant is a little pricier than others in town, but we all thought it was well worth it!!!! I think we'll go back on Sunday before we leave :)

I had a great experience at this restaurant! The employees were very friendly and helpful when answering our questions about the food. I have a gluten-intolerance and my waiter told me about which options are gluten-free and brought out gluten-free soy sauce for me. The food was made with care and was very tasty. The cost was also very reasonable. I was with a big group and we ordered two sets of 35 rolls. It was fun being able to sample different rolls. I highly recommend eating here!

There is so much to say but I will never be able to find enough words to convey how much we LOVED Rip Jack Inn and their restaurant. We ate 85% of our meals here (the other 15% was when we were exploring) and never once had a bad meal. We were able to try almost every dinner option. My favorite was the Mahi Mahi and my boyfriends favorite was the Hot Garlic Shrimp. Everything is SO fresh. So tasty. And the combinations are incredible. It not only has the best food we experienced during our trip but it also has the best waiters. We became very close with Ermesto and Manrique...so much that we were greeted by our first names after the second day of being there. And Ermesto shared his NCAA bracket with us, all chuckling about our choices. We literally wanted to bring Ermesto back to the states with us. He's the best. They both knew what we wanted to drink before we even ordered. It became our home for the week and they all made us feel like family. It will be VERY hard to travel to Costa Rica again and not stay at Rip Jack. We feel like we would never have as good of an experience as we had there. Hats off to all the cooks/bartenders and servers. You were all amazing. But Ermesto and Manrique were definitely very special to us. Eat here. Stay here. Love it here, like we did.Yeah! We will pass this on to Ernesto, Manrique and the rest of the team. Making our guests feel like family is what we're all about!Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience and we are thrilled you loved the food as much as we do!
