Located just above our villa (literally), we ate here two nights on our stay and it was not out of convenience. The food is delicious and the portions are... how do we say... Americanized. They offered a pork belly that was the size of a piece of lasagna. Insane! And it was really good. The second night we both ordered... More

Fantastic food. Menu changes daily. Everything was delicious and the view from their spot on the mountainside needs to be seen to be believed! Friendly owners and staff.

Great seafood in Santa Teresa. I just wish I had a chance to see the sunset from this hilltop restaurant.

Great food - fresh fish, great steak. It is not as expensive as some reviews suggest considering what you are getting (i.e. - steak, seafood) and how much you get. Terrific place to have breakfast too.

My husband and I recently went to Brisas del Mar at night. While the place probably has a great view around sunset, we did not see it. However, the nighttime setup of lights on the balcony (at least I think balcony as it was dark) was really lovely and created a cozy atmosphere. Everyone around us seemed happy and pleased... More

This place has a great view and really good food. We enjoyed a meal for a decent price and had some great drinks to compliment it. The view of the ocean is tops!

Well worth the trek uphill (we got a cab). The food is good and the view is excellent.

The food, the setting, the service - all amazing. A must visit if you're in Santa Teresa. The fresh fish is always excellent and this visit had the beef tenderloin which was exceptional. Also, not be missed - the electric mint lemonade and the brownie sundae.

Best food in town. Outside dining with an amazing view of the sunset. Higher end menu with variety that changes almost nightly. Eat there on one of your first nights...because you will return...promise. Oh yea, they serve breakfast, too!

Haveing spent two weeks in town, I had the privelage of dinning here numerous times. Every meal was fantastic. One of the only places to get a really great steak dinner. If you are lucky and the beer battered fish and chips are available order it. The desserts are worth the trip alone. The chocolate salted caramel peanut butter tart... More
