This is a long-standing, popular restaurant in Manuel Antonio, located at an equally popular hotel. The open-air restaurant is about three stories above the parking lot, so be prepared to climb some steps. It's worth it, though.

The broad menu features an enticing mix of international dishes, with an emphasis on Asian fare. The chef uses locally organically grown herbs and veggies. Thai, Indian, and Indonesian dishes are all excellently prepared, and there are always vegetarian options, as well as a nightly special. Lunch is served poolside throughout the high season.
