Fodor's Review:

Seafood is an unexpected treat up here in the mountains, and it's fresh: the owner gets shipments up from Puntarenas several times weekly. The place is nothing fancy; expect plastic tables and chairs, with lots of local flavor. Portions are big, but prices aren't. You could have trouble finishing the generous mixed seafood platter with shrimp, crab, and octopus in a white-wine sauce, or the jumbo shrimp with a sauce of mushrooms and hearts of palm.

Tasty fish dinners, plus pleasant & informal atmosphere. Food travels from basement kitchen via dumbwaiter. Busy! Fun!
