Funny how one place gets viewed diff.
So true so might as well throw in my impression. Have always found the restaurant clean including the bathroom which is also well stocked., The food adequate nothing to get excited about. Price use to be one of the great bargains in San Jose now is on par with the quality of the food. Service is not very good most of the time. The biggest problem I find is the place reminds me a military mess hall. There is absolutely no ambiance and nothing to absorb sound so it can be very very noisy at times.
Boy, that's a fact, 'D
The place as I remember it - we went for the lobster - small, spiney, not close to Maine - was OK - in fact, for Costa Rica, I'd even bump it to pretty good.
ID is correct in the total lack of ambiance, and because its basically a large, open room, it can get noisy - I don't recall a specific issue with the service, either particularly slow, or the waiters having the "DelRey syndrome"
- then again, I tend to judge places in CR by the friendliness of the server(s) vs their efficiency - come to think of it, I do the same thing in the USA too.Its worth a visit, I think, especially if you have not been to many places outside the gulch.
