Setset is to die for, don't miss it. Should be a special occasion. The food is ok, but the place is spectacular.

On top of the world, the flocks of scarlet macaws fly to roost 100 feet below you. A waterfall from an adjoining mountain rushes to the pacific ocean. Here, you are in carefully manicured tropical rain forest. You can have all that, and a fine meal at Adventure Dining. Do it!

My wife and I visited CR with some very good friends that wanted to make sure we saw the best the Jaco/mid Pacific coast area had to offer. In 6 days we did it all. We visited parks, took a monkey boat ride, saw great sunsets from multiple elevations, ate great food, rode both horses and ATV's seeing the beautiful... More

If you go back you can read my review from Novermber when my wife and I and 4 friends tried Adventure Dining for the first time. That review was extensive because I was so blown away by the whole experience, so as to not repeat myself this one will be much shorter. First off let me say that ADVENTURE DINING... More

Was a unique evening, but pricey. Guests need to be picked up much earlier to enable them to explore the gardens ($20 admittance included in cost but no time to peruse them). Also no time to visit the gift shop. Really disappointed in the beautiful brown mug I purchased as a momento - better to look at than use. All... More

Let's begin with the "botanical garden," which frankly is much like every other jungle throughout the country. The view is pretty increidble, the flowers are exotic, but if you've had a chance to indulge in any other adventure in Costa Rica, this won't be a unique experience. The ride up to the restaurant is long and bumpy, the driver is... More

My husband and I just returned from Costa Rica. We stayed at the Los Suenos Marriott golf and beach resort (which we loved). We had heard about "Adventure Dining" from a friend and emailed the owner, Jack, before we left. We arrived on Sat. April 14th, Jack called us Monday morning to tell us he'd have us picked up at...

We had a great time at Adventure Dining with family, established and new friends! Other than getting more time to explore the Gardens, we couldn't ask for anything more! Thank you Jack for a wonderful evening in Costa Rica! When we return, we will go again!

The van ride up to the restuarant is nauseating and the whole experience is a bit cheesy (ie. photos with a Parrot, a music video of photos the owner takes with his camera). The food is good for the area and the view at sunset is fantastic, but not worth the money.
