The last mention of La Patagonia Restaurant being in '04, I thought I'd update it a bit with this: http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant ... _Jose.html
contact info at bottom of reviews
Here's another listing of it (note: old-style ph.#): http://www.strayreality.com/dir_restaurants3.htm

Agree, very happy with the local stuff. Another is a Colombian restaurant, down from the Presidente on the left. Although, living here, it is always nice to find a nicer restaurant for a change. Many good one mentioned here. Have been going to Cafe Mundo for years, Taj Mahal, Machu Pichu and many more...

Hey DR, are you going to review the place we had dinner on Thursday night - Mi Sala? The Chicken Alfredo was very tasty.

Okay Bro - Here goes but MH - chime in here with your opinions as well. Wingy and I extended our trip one day so we could party with The Miamiheller and Jamrock. A business associate of mine in CR recommended a restaurant called Mi Sala - My associate said it had some of the best "views" in Costa Rica. I clarified that by views he meant chicas and he responded in the affirmative. Mi Sala is an elegant place in Escazu known for high end cocktails, a very chic atmosphere, and always full of top shelf chicas.

We arrived around 9:00 PM and found the place to be as advertised - It was actually a great place to kick off the evening because MH had reserved a table at Prive for us and our chicas later that night. After a few rounds of cocktails - we ordered - I wasn't hungry so I just had a tomato soup (excellent) and my chica ordered the fried Calamari (also very good). everyone seemed to enjoy the place and as MH mentions above he really enjoyed his Chicken Alfredo.

This place is more about atmosphere than food - a constant mix of house music, electronica, latin, and gringo music plays in the background (or just slightly louder than the background), the tables were elegant - I remember lots of crystal chandeliers etc... If you want to impress a chica with a great total evening - start at Misala and finish at Prive. You and your chica will be very happy - total bill for 7 was probably $350.00 (note my part of the tab was a soup and alot limes that went with my cocktails!!!!).

I would definitely repeat the experience but for sure this one is better with a group that is in the mood to party as opposed to a romantic evening with your girl!!!

Peace, Love, and Happiness for all,

Don Rico

Huge shout-out to Brother MH for this mention. They had me hooked at "Live Jazz Monday Nights" but gotta believe the comida's excellent too (Brother MH don't play no mess). Click on that BLUE right now--full contact info on the site.

Thanks brother JazzBo for the shoutout.

Agree 100% with DR's review. Nice upscale place. The food was good and the view was EXCELLENT.. no HDR colombianas here! (NTTAWWT) We noticed part of the "view" migrated to Prive later on that night.

BTW, Mi Sala turns into a club after dinner -- the music gets pumped up and part of the dining area gets cleared for dancing after 10 PM. Lots of comfy sofas and loveseats (hence, "Mi Sala") inside. Outdoor, cafe-style seating is also available if you're not in the mood for hubbub.

No direct knowledge but it was mentioned favorably here as long ago as '06 as an upscale restaurant (the name is a play on words--it's a Dante-themed venue). Here's a review Website with contact info and location, in case the venue's Website doesn't respond:

The Dante theme is enough for me to justify trying it! Never heard of such a place.

Peace,

DR

Definitely on my list for next trip.

I hazard to guess that besides a limited understanding of written English, you are making a prohibited commercial post?

Oh yes> Brother TB, check out his tagline--it's a disguised commercial message for a place neither of us will frequent--or even occasional. Nice places though nowhere near CR. Weren't CR restaurants the point of this Thread?
