The restaurant was outside in the sand on the beach. Aatmosphere good. Food not bad. Owners and servers pleasant. What I liked most was the crabs crawling around under foot up from the beach...... Awesome experience.

My husband and I were recently married at La Laguna. We had been to Tamarindo and visited several other venues scoping out a site for our wedding. We did not get the chance to see La Laguna our first time there. We booked the restaurant and venue site unseen, hoping for the best. It totally worked out. Alicia, the owner... More

Cerviche was out of this world, tuna was perfect, Red snapper a dream!! Me on the other hand had a Tbone steak and it was fine, nothing to complain about,... More

Outdoor atmosphere was pretty. Food was mediocre and overpriced. People were nice, but the service was slow and inconsistent. Seems kind of like it was run by a group of teenagers. We had a large group, and literally had to wait for another large table to finish so they could wash their plates (hopefully) and serve our dinners. They also... More

Thanks for your review. First we want to clarify with you and our readers that we have enough glassware and plates to serve 100 people in our restaurant. You waited because first: you were late on your reservation which we nicely kept for 40 minutos, and second: your party number was more than for what the reservation was made for,... More

The fish, tuna, snapper, seabass or ceviche, was really good. Same for the margaritas. Not so for the service. Pleasant people but they might be under-staffed.

Great location, poor food quality and drinks for such a high price ! Went here because the reviews were good & I'd never been. Needless to say, I will never return. Place was empty, but waitress/(co-owner?) made comment that not to worry b/c it was empty, sometimes it scares people off, but she had a big reservation for 9pm. I... More

Dear Customer thanks for your review, it give us the opportunity to clarify to our customers some very important points. First the yucca sticks serve on the ceviche are not made for put on top the food that is why the size is not the size of a craker, a lot of people and places serve ceviche with crakers but... More
