The title says it all. The fresh snapper was absolutely delicious. It was served whole and the presentation was quite beautiful. The service is very friendly and attentive. The prices are lower than most restaurants and yet the food is much better than most restaurants. Lastly, the views are great.

Whether you're looking for great appetizers and drinks for happy hour or a great meal, this is the place. We first went there on a suggestion from fellow travelers for their ceviche and drinks which were excellent. We returned the next day for dinner which was equally as impressive - good variety and delicious! In addition, the views are incredible... More

Had the whole fried fish; amazing. My girl had the seafood pasta which she liked but later got sick. She cannot confirm it was the pasta so we are not giving it a bad review. The view is awesome and romantic.

Food tasted ok but my daughter and I were very sick the next day and this was the only place we both had the same thing at. Husband was nauseous after his meal . Pricey .

If you're looking for dining with a great view, this is the place! They have really good food and great drinks too! You may want to go back twice!

Pretty sure I got sick from this place. The fish tacos were bland, dry and seemed old. The view is nice, but it was nicer from our hotel. The smoothies were good, but there are good smoothies in other places. Don't bother with this place. Also, it was the most expensive place we went in MA.

Gorgeous pearl of a restaurant, perched above the waves of the Pacific in Manuel Antonio, is a wonderful find. Fabulously fresh fish, prepared perfectly, reasonably priced, beautifully presented. We loved our whole red snapper, fried perfectly, and our fresh seared Ahi and large Dorado fillets. Dishes were served with salads and sides of patacones and fresh vegetables. If you go,... More

This place was recommended by a couple we met on a tour. We enjoyed the Mahi Mahi and the tuna steak dishes, as well as the 2 for 1 happy hour. The fish was cooked nicely. My boyfriend devoured his tuna steak, i barely got a bite to try. We had a great view of the ocean at sunset, it... More
