Exemplary experience & culinary delights at San Lucas: A Romantic Gem! My partner and I had the opportunity to dine at San Lucas- it was one of our top foodie experiences and the repute for romantic settings is well justified. Our waiter Erick went above and beyond to share the historical and cultural influences underpinning the menu, as well as ensuring that we had a truly delightful evening. The layout works superbly well and ensures an intimate dining experience. The service was fantastic, and really added to our enjoyment of our meal. Particular highlights were the ceviche and the Caribbean lobster. It's not a cheap dinner, but considering the caliber of the tasting menu, we are both very glad that we had the opportunity to give this a go!

Great experience What a great experience. Such a lovely setting. The view was amazing especially since we were there for the 5pm seating...the sunset was glorious! What a unique way to celebrate cuisine from around Costa Rica. All of it was amazing!!! The even brought us a special dessert since we were celebrating our 30th anniversary. Thanks for a lovely evening!

Amazing experience! This place was one of the highlights of my trip. Absolutely amazing views, food, etc. Our server (guide, connoisseur) was named Lucas. He was so knowledgeable and fun! Made our experience that much more wonderful. Everything comes out at the perfect time. We learned a lot - and left so satisfied! It’s pricy yes - but I think it’s worth it. It stood out to anything we did in Costa Rica so I would 100% recommend.

Yes expensive, but should not be missed! This is a unique dining experience. Not only the private dining pod, excellent, attentive service, beautifully crafted food. One tip, go for the early sitting at 5 when still some warmth, though blankets are thoughtfully provided, and the most beautiful sunset views just before 6.

Great food & spectacular views! We really enjoyed our dinner at San Lucas! The views are simply unreal! From the mountains to the Pacific and the islands. Make sure you choose the early dinner time slot to see the views before and during sunset. The food was excellent and inventive. We really enjoyed the passport concept and getting to try dishes that celebrated each individual province across the diverse geography of Costa Rica. Highlights for us were the tuna ceviche, steak, and all the desserts! The native cocktails and wine pairings were both great and highly recommend adding either on. Dining here is a great way to cap off your trip or celebrate a special occasion!

Must do in Monteverde! Amazing experience definitely worth the money! We went at 8:30 and we could see all the lights from the town beneath. Everything was delicious and well thought out. They even provided blankets since it was a little chilly.

San Lucas Lunch is a culinary treasure We are chefs, so we were looking for an outstanding culinary experience and San Lucas did not disappoint. From the welcome at the beginning to walking to our table to the treats at the end, every moment was special. The view was amazing, but the dining experience paralleled it. Every course was a delight for the senses and we took time to savor all the thought that had gone into planning this menu. We also had a drink pairing with it and I would highly recommend that, as well, as the drinks are creative and pair well with each course. This is not an inexpensive meal, but it is culinary art at it's finest and this will be a culinary adventure that we will always treasure.
