High in the mountain and secluded from the hustle n bustle of San Jose and Heredia. It's not easy to get to as you navigate through a winding Mountain Road going through several villages. This adds to normal Speakeasy Fields has arrived at the location with its parking often overflowing with vehicles.Unfortunately unlike most of the other Mountain restaurants in the surrounding Countryside they are not blessed with a beautiful view from their location, however they make it up with tasteful decor and fine dining at reasonable prices and excellent live music. You can pat yourself on the back just for getting here, though navigational GPS will get you there easily,, if you just trust it! The service was good and the food a finer typical variety. Seating is a little cumbersome, but your better off with reservations or you will be out of eyesight of the stage. The bar is in the middle and blocks alot of the view. The performances are Jazz, classical, and Folkloric with many popular Latin bands singers and poets. There is also a added surcharge after 9PM some nights depending on the venue. All an all it is an excellent choice for a date or with friends. Your night should be " PURA VIDA!"

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 coursesâ 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 âEpicurican Theatreâ, 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 Buddhaâs, 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

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.

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.
