Stellar service, try to book during sunset 🌅 We splurged on the sunset dinner and from start to finish San Lucas had such wonderful service. Every employee is incredibly kind, especially our waiter, and the food was presented tastefully. The experience is personalized with a wonderful surprise where you even get a gift at the end. And the views were unbelievably gorgeous!

A wonderful dining experience! This was such a special experience right from the start. We had booked the car to pick us up and it was a very nice car and arrived right on time. There were bottles of cold water in the car for us and the driver was lovely. On arrival they took our picture and then led us to our table. The individual glass pods make you feel like you are the only guests there and the views over the treetops and the sunset are fabulous! The staff were great throughout and the food was exceptional. They had really thought out the presentation and every little detail so well. The friend I went with eats at Michelin star restaurants and said that this was on a par with those! Presenting us with a print of our photo and a little gift bag at the end was a lovely additional treat. Then the car dropping us back to our accommodation meant that we could enjoy a couple of glasses of wine with our food.

A Magical Place After googling best restaurant in Monteverde and finding this place we immediately made a reservation. We were very impressed from the start when they emailed a confirmation asking about each of our dietary preference. As a vegan this is very important to me. The shuttle picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the restaurant. Driver was very kind and friendly. When we arrived they knew who we were and welcomed us and took us to our individual glass cube in the trees. It felt magical. We really loved all the nice touches such as the photo before dinner and the passport detailing all of our courses. Our waitress was very nice and personable. We got dinner with the pairing. My partner had the cocktail pairing and I had the wine pairing. He enjoyed his and for the wine it was perfectly matched with each food course. A perfect harmony. The food itself was exquisite. Everything was bursting with flavor and very visually appealing. It felt like a very special experience to have the opportunity to try food from every region of the country with a full explanation as to what, where and why we were eating each course. Rarely have we ever spent this much money on dinner but it felt special and magical and like a wonderful treat on our vacation. A must visit!

Experience this if you get the chance! What a great concept and experience. We booked a table for 5.30 and got the best of both worlds…..daylight and nighttime views. This was a true dining experience….sat above the trees we had a gastronomic feast which represented each of the regions of Costa Rica. We ate well and learned a lot too about cultures and customs of various regions, ably served by Marion. Whilst perhaps not the Michelin quality that the price suggested, it was a magical experience and one we thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. Each course was beautifully presented and the wine pairing was terrific in the main. My wife also spotted a little toucan sleeping in the tree beside our pod which was pretty cool too!

Worth the Splurge! What an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience! So unique. The glass houses are so beautiful, clean, and peaceful. The food was INCREDIBLE!! Every single course was mouth-watering. Our favorites were the bread at the start and the scallops. Definitely go hungry!! It's a lot. We also added in the cocktail option. Some we liked, some we didn't. We would do the wines text time.

Informative and intimate experience Fun intimate experience with incredible reviews. Carlos, our “gastro guide” was very personable and knowledgeable. We learned so much about Costa Rica and its history. My husband and I visited here on our honeymoon and this was a great romantic evening amongst the tree tops. The views are unbelievable - truly worth every penny. Food and wine pairings are out of this world. A true highlight from our trip to CR.
