For those discerning gentlemen who seek out Quality if Life and money is not an impediment, you have to try the following restaurant in Escazu:

First, the wine list was off the charts. And I appreciated the waiter bringing me the three most expensive bottles to choose from when i asked for the best Chilean wine: $800, $650, $550. We settled on a very nice $70 bottle (estoy loco, no tonto) and indeed it was drinking very well.

My sweet Nica and I, yes I love to spoil my favorites when I can, started out with a Ceviche Sampler for two. It was off the charts delicious. We finished by sharing the seafood Sampler with a decent size lobster tail. I was very impressed by the service, the presentation, the taste, and wine selection. My Nica was slightly under dressed in jeans and regular shirt. Bring your Chica in heels to this place. And men, business casual is fine. No shorts.

I paid $148 including tip for a fabulous meal that would of easily costs me $400 or more, in my home town of Palo Alto. (the US Dollar is strong in Costa Rica)

I am taking my wingman, who is flying in tonight, for lunch on Thursday. He is into wine and good foods too and he will love this place.

Pura Vida

One of my favorites is Restaurante Machu Picchu in Paseo Colon. Probably not even close with the wine selection.. but probably the best ceviche/mariscos available in San Jose and really good margaritas. And.. Pension Oasis is directly across the street.

In San Pedro (50 meters west of the mall) try Na Praia Seafood snd Raw Bar. Upscale atmosphere decent pricing. My favorite is the squid ink pasta with octopus, jumbo shrimp, New Zealand mussels, and clams. c13,800 ($23).

One thing for sure is that you can get great seafood here at a fraction of the cost than the states. Another is Balcon del Marisco in Curridabat. Biggest shrimp I have seen here.

Do it! And of course we must include Princessa Marina. A number of locations. I like the one in Sabana by the stadium the best. Very professional uniformed waiters, fresh food. All locals. I once asked a mesero where the lobster comes from since many places still import them. He told me from Cahuita and Punta Uva on the Carribean side. A must do if you like seafood.
