David Bethiel: This is one of the best fine dining restaurants you will find in San Jose. The cost is commensurate with that level of quality, but frankly, it was reasonable for the experience. The food was excellent... loved the lamb shank. Reservations definitely recommended. This place will easily become a favorite for you to return to whenever you visit San Jose.
Hector Willars: Excellent dinner and reasonably priced for a gourmet restaurant and exceptional service. Enjoyed dinner in the elegant dining room overlooking the open air courtyard. It happened to be lightly raining during dinner, making for a truly unique experience. Highly recommend.
Q L: We are the guest of the hotel and we decided to have dinner here as well, the atmosphere is amazing, they had decorated for the Christmas holiday, we had a pretty significant misunderstanding with the waiter (12/7th) luckily the manager stepped in and handled everything with one of the most professional customer centric approaches we have ever seen. We’d lovely to come back again and highly recommended.
Paul Jones: This place was amazing! We stumbled into it by chance, and now we want to stay here at the hotel on our next trip (this time was just dinner).
Nicolas Steegmann: Great service, presentation and vibe. We really enjoyed the environment but the food was flavorless. It’s not acceptable for a high-end restaurant that charges these prices to not have tasty delicious food
Nick Halverson VSB: Absolutely wonderful restaurant. High quality and delicious food. Professional wait staff. Great ambiance (my group and I sat outside in the courtyard). I will definitely return.
you tub (gomarlins): Will not go back meal was ok over priced nothing out of this world. Dessert was ok

Zak Harmon: Such an exquisite place. The 8 course dinner experience and wine pairing is worthy of a Michelin star. The creativity of the food concepts and the presentation of the plates ties together perfectly with the ambience and atmosphere of the restaurant. This is my favorite fine dining experience in San Jose so far!
Arman Barbuco: I was searching for a local restaurant to eat and after reading the comments we decided to go. That’s a good choice. The place is nice, it reminds me of those old houses back in our country Philippines. We asked the staff to tell us about the menu. They recommended the 8 course menu. But there are also the regular ones. We decided for the 8 course and it was perfect. All are great tastes on their own. So if you decide to visit to this place the 8 course is a must try, you will not regret it.
Andreea Giurgea: Nice restaurant quite close to where we were staying in San Jose. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing. Some dishes were very nice while some were not so good. Very creative menu, inspired by Costa Rican regions. The service was good but the explanations of the dishes could have been better. Other guests got more in depth explanations in Spanish, while we felt a bit left out. The food presentation was super creative.
Evangelia Margariti: We had the 8 course menu that Silverstre offers and it was mythical. A wide variation of flavours. The service was exceptional and with each course was a detailed explanation of the dish. Perfect atmosphere! Highly recommended for a fine dining experience in Costa Rica!
Jordan Maughan: Such a good tasting menu. Felt like I was eating some of the authentic dishes of Costa Rica prepared in unique ways with the best ingredients. If you’re in the SJO area, you should definitely go here!
Sunny Argan: Fantastic restaurant with amazing service. Great menu and wine list. I would suggest the inventive tasting menu with the chef’s wine pairing. You will be taken on a journey full of flavorful dishes with depth and meaning.
Gilbert Corrales: Amazing gem right on the edge of the capital. Their 3 course lunch menu is an amazing way to enjoy quality food and be surprised by the creative of the chef. Wine pairing with the meal was a nice surprise and amplified the amazing flavours of the meals prepared. This is a place deserving of a Michelin star.
Melody Desrochers: Amazing food and ambiance. A Costa Rican gem! The chef prepares dishes to represent the different areas in the country. A must try
Teo Trenkov: Great experience, pleasantly surprised by the stories that go with each dish. Mind blown by the 3* Michelin worthy honey dessert.

Sarah Harkness: The experience we had with Sergio aka Billy and sous chef Mariana was an incredible journey through the flavors of an equally delightful country. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to gain an elevated and intimate experience of Costa Rican cooking. Sergio is knowledgeable, passionate, and excited to share his love of food and country with his guests. As someone who has eaten at many of the top restaurants in the world, this was still by far one of my favorite dining experiences ever.
Andrew Morris: The intimate experience I had @ El Taller with Billy was one of the most best meal experiences that I have ever had. The six course meal was paired with a different glass of wine each time. Being able to see and speak directly with Billy as he was preparing the meal and listening to what his inspiration for the food was what made this such a wonderful experience. The meal was amazing and well thought out.

Nicole Chaves: It was ok. The service and staff are very friendly and they have a wine cellar where you can choose or buy different types of vines. Really nice to go for dinner.
Howard Blum: I love going to this restaurant.Delightful surroundings, linen tablecloths & napkins, great food and fantastic service.
Laurie Duffau: If you are looking to impress a guest this is the place to go. Service is awesome and most servers are bilingual (Spanish and English), the presentation of the main dish is memorable. The food absolutely amazing. MUST TRY
Francesca Cesari: Not great food, at leat for an Italian. Had pizzq (seemed like the safest thing to order abroad) and it seemed rolled with a rolling pin as the base was like bread, not pizza. Taste was not that great - in sum, not a pizza. But service was good.
DCS: Great place and good attention! The menu and the quality are excellent!
Matthew Smith: We stopped here on our first night in San Jose. The wait staff was welcoming and able to understand our broken Spanish (and help us in English). I have a gluten allergy and our server helped me find options on the menu. We ordered multiple courses and I found the pacing to be relaxed, but not slow. Perfect to savor the food and atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend Limoncello for great Italian style food in San José. Especially for those looking for gluten free options.
David McCurley: Classy place. Excellent service. Food was good. Medium price range.
Richard Blaser: Limoncello is spot on for food/price/service. They also have private dining rooms upstairs for meetings and such. The staff is extremely attentive and the food is delicious. They also offer gluten free options and will be very accommodating if you wish to change things about your meal.
Álvaro Justen: One of the best restaurants in town. Well served dishes, amazing waiter, very interesting wine machine. There very good vegetarian options.

Rahul Kurup: Nice ambiance. Not too pricey and friendly staff. Love the Lebanese food and I was craving for it after meeting few folks from Lebanon and taking about food. Read about this place in a book. Ordered Muhammara (love it ), hummus, baba ganoush. Falafel. We had a live belly dance performance as well.
Deborah Staab: The atmosphere, food, and service was excellent! My husband and I ordered the combination meal for two so we could have a taste of many dishes. Wow! What a meal! The price was very affordable, too!

R. L.: Absolutely phenomenal. Super authentic Lebanese vibe. The food is superb! The lamb ribs were phenomenal. So was the meal my girlfriend ordered(stuffed cabbage rolls). Music and dancing for entertainment during dinner hour on a Thursday. Busy inside but amazing service and quick to get our food. Only downfall was being charged 1550 colones for a small cheap bottle of water. 10/10 would recommend this place. Prolly even go back tomorrow for a Kebbab
Johan Böhlin: Great food! Very fresh and plenty of options. Clearly marked dishes for what is vegan and vegetarian. Also many many meat dishes. Service is friendly, fast and with good English skills. Five out of five falafels, would eat again.
Adityaa SNU: Awesome place to have Lebanese food. Must try number 30 on the menu. It has all the dishes in small quantities for ur taste buds. The staff is courteous and really hats off to chefs.

Andre: I really enjoyed having an afternoon lunch here. There was a wide variety of tapas dishes to choose from. They also have daily meal specials which includes an choice of appetizers, choice of entree, drink, dessert, and coffee for 7,000 colones or about $10. I did the lunch meal special and it was great. The service was excellent and very attentive. I was given the option to sit inside or outside. Small thing such as 2 sets of silverware were a nice surprise, one for the appetizer and one for the entree. The bill was promptly brought when asked. I would absolutely return.
Sandi: Nice relaxing wine bar/restaurant outside the mall. Amazing Happy Hour aka After Office wine, sangria and tapas. Also a super selection of wines in the wine store located inside.
Jorge Antillon: Great price for value, wine included could always be better,
Augusto Granados: The best Mediterranean Restaurant in the area, the food is great, in this case the slow-cooked short rib was juicy, full of flavor and tender, exceptionally tender, the shrimp, rice and vegetables in soy sauce were fresh and so easy on your stomach they were just a pleasure to eat. I also had the Estrella Galicia beer to accompany the meal, it was quite refreshing however still full of taste and hoppy notes. I am quite glad to be able to enjoy again this restaurant, it is one of the few I can visit over and over again in the area.

Moa Munoz: I never write reviews but this was seriously the best restaurant I have ever been to. The flavor combinations were amazing and the service outstanding - If Misaels boss reads this: he deserves a raise
Drew Byrne: Myself and two friends ate at Isolina yesterday evening, the food was was fantastic and the waiter Mizael was very attentive and welcoming. We shared the lamb shoulder with puree between the three of us which was delicious - the portion was also good. Menu selection was great and nice ambience, would highly recommend.
Santiago Moreno Cristopulos: Overall: They put too much effort on the dishes, overdoing them… We were a party of 5. We had the corvina tiradito, which was a really small portion and the steak tartare, which was awesome. The Shrimp w/hollandaise and the Corvina fillet were nothing special. The octopus was good though. Desserts were overdone, perhaps it is true that simple is better. Nice place and ambience to enjoy.’very good service.
Laurent Grimm: It is all about pleasure and take it easy.Thank you guys for the Morgon we finished on a mousse liver and steak tartare !Please, improve your natural wine list, i live a block or so from your wine cellar, only and want to come often !!!
Tanitiã Munroe: Went to Isolina on my birthday trip to San Jose, Costa Rica. The ambience, food and staff made the dining experience so memoriable. The food was delectable and each plate I was served, left an explosion of flavour in my mouth. The Chef tactfully arranged each ingredients to curate flavor and textural complexity that stimulated my eyes before the first bite. I kept on going over to the kitchen area and blowing kisses (loved the open concept of the kitchen ..it makes for a better engagement with the chefs) One thing I admire about this place is the fact they are true to their word with using seasonal and local products. Definately a place to find if ever in San Jose!
Paula Ureta Vergara: No cocktails menu they can prepare anything you like but for us is kind of complicated that way. We drink ice tea like a soft lemonade no bad but no good either. Other chapter is the food not a big menu but the dishes we try were great! The pic is for ñoquis and pig ribs. We will come back with our list of cocktails to try.

Kimberly Beck: An eclectic Argentinian grill with imported and local cuts of meat. Seafood, pasta, salads, appetizers, desserts also available. Exceptional bottled wine choices and decent by-the-glass options as well. Bi-lingual staff, good service. Table staff are very attentive. Upscale clientele. Decent price for what you get. Off-street guarded parking. My friend and I both had local lomito with baked potato and salad. I took enough home for the next day. Big portions. Bread basket served first in case you come in really hungry.
Response: Thanks Kimberly for your comment. We are very grateful and honored by your visit.
Vinicius Damaceno: With the 50% off promotion that BAC runs every now and then this place deserves 99 stars! We got a Burrata as an entrance, followed by a Tomahawk with grilled veggies and a house potato with a bottle of red for $70 bucks!!!! On top, their attention was exceptional was well. Will surely come back!
Response: Thanks Vinicius for your comment. We are very grateful and honored by your visit.

Response: ThanksSusan for your comment. We are very grateful and honored by your visit.

Response: Thanks Bruno for your comment. We are very grateful and honored by your visit.
Nat Real: The Best grilled flavorful and tender octopus I have ever had. The Flan was the best too with smooth creamy carnal on the side. Cool interior decorating too.
Steve: Sushi and deserts were excellent. Party of 6 on a Monday night, but service was slow. We asked for the check twice before getting it. We plan to go again, but will lower our service expectations. There is a lot of DoorDash activity, so I recommend setting away from the door.
Response: We believe that your opinion is not about our restaurant, we do not have sushi, we are a steakhouse.
Jason Goldsberry: A bit of a frustrating experience, honestly. The service is poor for this class of restaurant. Dónde Carlos across town is light years ahead in terms of service. The food was outstanding, everything made to perfect. Steaks were cooked perfectly and were tender. The potatoes and beans were spot-on. Two plates and drinks came just short of $79 — the food quality does support the price. However, the service and the details you expect from a higher end restaurant don’t. Simple stuff like the men’s bathroom being out of soap shouldn’t happen. Will most likely go again, but it won’t be frequently.
Hershy Silver: Everything was Nice. But it was not like a fine dining place in the US. It was also expensive. Costing more than $100 for two people. That being said, I would go back. I also recommend this place if you want good quality food and a nice environment.Food: 4/5 | Service: 4/5 | Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

Jay Frank: Went here for dinner because a colleague recommended this place.....and now I fully understand why. The dining room was fully booked so we sat at the bar. Jorge and Jerry at the bar to excellent care of us. Gave good menu and drink recommendations. Both great ambassadors for the restaurant! It is not a cheap place but absolutely quality food and drinks! Highly recommend this place.
Steven: Fine dining as best in the world as I’ve experienced House bread, beef carpaccio, ribeye charred and cooked to a perfect medium, duck confit, pesto mash, Gorgonzola mash Everything executed beautifully. It was a true dining experience and a pleasure. Thank you what a birthday meal Shoutout to the pineapple basil smash, excellent cocktail
Nicholas Alexander: Top three restaurants in the country. Truly everything was amazing. The drinks were amazing. Must try the foie, and as many apps as possible
Irene Urena: I’ve been coming to this place since they open and it is a wonderful surprise that they’re still as good and keep the menu interesting. Beautiful restaurant and location it is my number one recommendation for friends visiting San Jose. Today a table was getting little rowdy and the manager decided not to sell more alcohol to them, I’ll give them extra points for keeping it classy. Their Goat Milk and Passionfruit Panna Cotta is my all time favorite but food here is very consistent and service is also wonderful.
Serena Bendycki: Prepare yourself for an amazing culinary adventure. From the instance you sit down you’re graced with a welcoming ambiance and friendly staff. Their cocktail presentation is second to none, and the quality of drink and food is no different. Can not recommend enough if you’re in the San Jose area. Oh, did I mention they have their own herb garden? See photos for pepper plant!
Nick Halverson VSB: Furca is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to, anywhere in the world. The food is amazing - I ordered the prime rib and portobello mushroom sandwich. I love sandwiches - but this is in a different all together. You can taste the quality of ingredients is unparalleled. Every detail has been thought out and planned. From the way the bread is served (along with 3 different spreads) to the way the presentation of the food is done. Exquisite. We discovered it and went there three times in a matter of 2.5 days…and we will be back. Wonderful staff. Reservations are encouraged if dining after 7 pm. Get there earlier without a reservation.
Mike Marshall: Great food, refined atmosphere but not pretentious... servers were informed and polite. Not inexpensive but a welcomed and accommodating evening..
Marcus Petteway: Absolutely delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. The seafood was so fresh and the cocktails were a hit! Definitely a must try when you are in Costa Rica!
Katie Sanderson: Dinner at 📍 @furcacr Rating: 🤩🤩 Must visit if your in the area Thoughts 💭 Wow, what a delight. A beautiful restaurant in Rohrmoser, Costa Rica. The complimentary range of breads were all delicious. Our mains were both outstanding. We got Picanha and my favourite of the night duck and caramelised onions confit. The really nailed the meat here. We ordered the foie potatoes as a side which weren’t too great but the Gorgonzola mash potato was very nice. Reviews by @thefoodiestraveldiary

Bahareh Gharaei: After we wait for 20 minutes they gave us a table, and the manager took our order because he knew English, we asked him to recommend to us which food is popular and delicious. They had a not-good attitude, poor-quality food and were expensive. The drink was good and the star is for that.
L R: We went to Sapore Trattoria on our last night in San Jose and it was a treat. The food was delicious, the desert was divine and the staff amazing. It made for a memorable evening for the four of us before we said farewell to San Jose and each other. Thank you for a great evening!
Kimberly Martin: Excellent Italian! Had great service from Jimmy! Alex and Belki also!!Had linguini with mushroom sauce and sausage(champignon), eggplant parm, Cesar salad, and flat bread(excellent-they must use for the pizza) and tiramasu. They treated us fantastic!! Live music on a Tuesday at 7. Great Italian, French guitar music that you just seem to know. Great for date night! Or w/other a group-just not a big party atmosphere. Relaxed, enjoyable Italian dinner. Will be back. Highly recommend.
Dianna Fontanez: I’d give them 10 stars! Excellent service, meal and dessert!! I went for my birthday and the food was sooo good! Tasted so fresh with that home made taste! They sang happy birthday to me in italian. They sure went the extra mile to make my night a very happy one! I totally recommend it!!!

Thank you for letting us in despite full house. We sat at the bar for dinner, desserts and drinks. The bar tenders were AWESOME. Thank you again for a great time.
Wendy Schweikert: Warm ambience, interesting decor, extensive menu and wine selection. Excellent service. We had reservations for lunch and everything met our high expectations. Our group shared mussels, empanadas, ensalada primavera, sopa pumpkin, Lomita en Bernese sauce, blood sausage. Chocolate mousse with walnuts for dessert. Be certain to request whipped cream with the mousse. All delicious! Highly recommend.
Efi Karra: I visited this restaurant twice and the food was amazing both times. The decor and atmosphere is great. The service was excellent. I will absolutely come back to this restaurant when I visit CR again!
Steven: Believe the hype and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise Everything here is curated and executed with an immense accuracy The tenderloin steak was a perfect medium and juicy beyond my wildest dreams; potatoes seasoned beautifully Mozzarella empanadas; spinach croquettes, and polenta were appetizers and were all executed beautifully ..empanadas were light fluffy and crispy, croquettes were soft and flavorful while maintaining a crispy exterior We finished with flan, which had lovely dollops of caramel and was fragrant My hat goes off to the chef who brought Argentinian and Costa Rican palettes together at this beautiful spot, highly recommend The waiter was extra amazing and cut and plated everything in half so my wife and I could share everything, thank you <3
Francisco Javier Urra: This is probably the best restaurant in Costa Rica. Everything is perfect. Food is amazing. Atmosphere is unbeatable. Service is top notch , with professional waiters that do their work flawless and rapidly, without any exaggeration (old style great waiters). Quality of the products are top. Decoration is like truly being in an old Buenos Aires restaurant. Wine list is amazing. And final bonus, it is located in a true building: that may sound awkward , so let me explain. Most restaurants in Costa Rica are located in shopping plazas, overseeing parking lots. Being myself European, that kills the experience a lot. La Esquina de Buenos Aires is not the case, you walk in , and it’s in an urban environment. So may say downtown San Jose is not the most appealing environment, but for me, not feeling in a US-style shopping “plaza” , it makes definitely a difference.
Mehreen Chaudry: Amazing food and amazing service. Our waiter Jeison was incredible. Would recommend and hope to return.

Winnie Huang: Ceviche was very tasty, and the egg over fried rice was pretty good too (but very salty). Cocktails were just okay, nice ambience though! However when they first served the octopus, it was chewy like a rubber. Server was kind enough to send it back and made a new one, which was pretty good. But then on the bill, they wrongfully charged us ~$30USD more, and those were the bottled water and cocktail from the table next to us…
Gonzalo Contreras del Solar: This is a Peruvian restaurant, as all in my visit to Costa Rica, on the Escazú street. I sat inside, the seats were very comportable. While I waited for my guests to arrive, I was able to speak with the owner as well the waiter who gave me the recommendations of what to eat. The menus never give this type of advise. By the time my guests arrive, I knew what we would eat, they all followed his recommendation. In addition to the Ceviches and Tiraditos that are typical Peruvian, I normally have as a second dish the Lomo Salteado. This time I went with the waiters recommendation of grilled salmon with a crust of Quinoa. The Argentinean Malbec was the perfect companion for the food and conversation. Prices were very reasonable for the quality.
Response: Gonzalo thank you very much for your comments 🙏🙏 We look forward to seeing you again soon. Greetings; Mark Antony

Adrian Hunt: The service was really good, the folks were very attentive and very knowledgeable of the full menu. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!! We ordered the octopus as a starter YUM!! Then shared the Tacu Tacu and let me just say it was SO GOOD!! Totally recommend this place!! No pictures posted, didn’t have time because the food was so good!!
Troy Simmons: Incredible dinner and atmosphere in open air dinning room. Portions are Texas sized, so pace yourself. Ceviche, salads, were our favorites, truly talented chef! 10 out of 10. Vegetarian options: Many options were avalable. Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps abound. We actually had someone next to our table and it was very accesible. I think the owners/management take higher attention to this area of service.

Ceri Williams: What an absolute gem of a place. Food outstanding we had mixed grill, flan and a bottle of house Malbec. Food was amazing, the atmosphere was both cozy and cool. The service was personable and informative. Considering our Spanish is very poor we were made to feel so welcome. Pity we are leaving as we would definitely go back. Not too be missed
Laura Brazan: We thoroughly enjoyed this Argentinian restaurant for lunch while we were in San Jose. Excellent service. A variety of fresh fish and excellent cuts of meat. The specials are delicious. The atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable in a fine dining type atmosphere. Nice drink and wine menu as well. Thoroughly recommend.
Tania DeMelo: The restaurant has a nice vibe, well decorated and the food is good. The portions were okay, prompt service and prices were fair. Even though I had requested a super well-done steak, I ended up getting a not-so-well done steak which kinda turned me off. Other than that, I would go back there.
Paulo Costa: Nice Argentinean inspired place. Good service and food but its a pitty its not open for dinner.
Milan Hoffmann: The pizza was tiny and greasy and in comparison to the price not worth it.nice location though.
Samay Alvarez: Place is very cozy and clean. Service was great and so was their food. We ordered Trout with a coffee dressing that sounded weird but it was actually delicious. Another guest order Vasio and this was better that the churrasco. Drinks where very good as well. Our waiter gave
Jorge Antillon: Five star rating that never was. Aquí es is a cosie little corner where I had one glass of wine, quick and easy, yet however I feel they need to work on having real napkins, serving some bread when wine is ordered, details that set apart a mediocre lunch from a fine dining experience, I will not deny the smell was great, however I did not dare.

René Schütte-Bruns: Outstanding food and quality. This restaurant was a random find since it was close to my accommodation, yet I absolutely did not regret to go here. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and the love the chefs put into the preparation of their food. I have been eating at many places throughout my travels, but this one is certainly playing in the league of the best restaurants I have been to. Highly recommended and totally worth the slightly upscale prices.
Response: Thank you very much for your comments. Much appreciated 🙏
Bartosz Brozek: French cafe and restaurant decorated in typical Parisienne style. We only had few cakes and a coffee, both were really good. Food menu looks interesting and I would love to try it next time when in town

juan carlos Borbon: The service was awful, they forgot to provide us with water, napkins, cutlery... We ordered a sirloin steak that was cheap and poor quality. Fries coming with it, were re-fried and made 4 hours ago, burnt and salty. Unexistent choice of sauces. Waiters seemed to be amateurs not professionals as we had to remind them repeatedly we did not have water. Worst of it all, it was expensive as hell.

Bella Birgau: We came to Costa Rica for spring break and we were starving!! We went grocery shopping next door and we passed the French restaurant, when we came back to our hotel the hotel staff also recommended we go there and we did! The food was amazing, both me and my mom had the ribeye steak with the French fries and the salad (salad was just as delicious as the entrees). While waiting for our food we browsed the display of beautiful desserts. We got some to go as well, I couldn’t tell you what they are called but we ate every bite and still wanted more. Fabian was our server and being a bartender myself I was thoroughly impressed with how clean and organized everything was. I ordered a Sol beer that he squeezed lime on the bottom of the glass and made it even more delicious. He did a great job and we HAVE to go back one more time before we leave. 100/10 definitely recommend!!!
Response: Thank you so much for your comments 🙏
Jessica Mylan: Beautiful place for DELICIOUS French food! I had coffee and french onion soup- and it was spot on with strong flavors of cognac and rich melted cheese! Beautiful, clean atmosphere off the bustling Paseo Colon. Their pastries and main dishes also looked fabulous! Classically hospitable Tico service as well. Highly recommend for a nice meal or a cafe and pastry stop!
