    The noise level was only rated higher because we were there on a live music night. Service was great, the small plates were more medium sized and all were delicious. staff gave great recommendations. All in a wonderful Costa Rican night at the beautiful Andaz.

    Outstanding service and a beautiful, fun setting. Unfortunately the cocktails tasted very watered down and the food wasn't as good as at the other restaurants at the Andaz. Wish I had come by for just a beer and an appetizer, rather than a full meal.

    Great cocktails, great service and good food. Definitely the best of the restaurants at the Andaz. Love the small plates so you can try multiple dishes without getting stuffed. The service was the best we have had in Costa Rica. Highly recommend.
