Dominical/Uvita- Restaurant $$/$$$ recommendations- Xmas
 

We will be in Dominical- renting a home- for the holidays and want to have a "special" holiday dinner w our family-xmas eve or day. any recommendations welcome within 1 hr drive of Dominical. also looking for private chef in the area for 2-3 nites

Not sure about the availability of that particular day, Exotica in Ojochal is by far the favorite restaurant in that area. Citrus also in Ojochal, similarly gets good reviews.

Reservations would be mandatory.

Two recommendations I received from Shelter from the Storm for catering (no experience with either).

Sarah Loftus, trained at the cordon bleu, professional chef. 8838-3378 [email protected] Will come to you or make a private dinner at her restaurant for you, The Chef’s Table.
“Made from Scratch” by Diana. Comfort food, lasagna, pastries, and will fix what you want. Frozen food available at the Saturday feria. 8344-4297

Sarah would be a great choice and she's a super woman. I met her last year while staying at Shelter from the Storm and had dinner at her place, Villas de las Aves. The food was fantastic. I'm not sure if the actually restaurant is still open most nights, and it's bumpy road to get to, but if they would set up a holiday dinner for you it's a gorgeous setting.

I'm with Hip and mlbg, Sarah is an astounding cook. Have also tried Exotica in Ojochal-fabulous!

thanks a million- all good info- will check it out and appreciate the tel #s!

made a reservation at Exotica for xmas Eve- prix fixe menu, sounds fabulous- will report back! $49usd for 7 course meal.

I live in Ojochal....Exotica is the best..I don't think you will be disappointed...Lucie, the owner is fabulous and will make you feel special and very welcome....enjoy! look forward to reading your report
