The service in this restaurant was absolutely fabulous. They waiter helped us find gluten-free and dairyfree dishes and offered us several alterations to make it work. Everything we ordered was really good. Excellent wine, too. We’ll be back when in Arenal area.

Absolutely amazing. After spending the day at the termales I was hungry and needed some food! I see this place. I got up to the guy and ask if they have gluten and dairy free options. They did!! And they have quite a few actually. Ricardo suggested I get the chicken with bacon and veggies. I asked for a side of platanos too! Absolutely DELICIOUS and healthy too!!! Then I wanted a fruity drink with a little alcohol so he suggested watermelon with rum (I actually don’t remember but I wish I did). It was one of the best drinks ever! Please come here! The food and service is incredible! My friends enjoyed their food and drinks too! Thanks Don Rufino!
