We came across this restaurant and liked the look of it so we stopped and ate dinner which was very good! Great drinks and great prices!

Amazingly good food right in the middle of La Fortuna. Right on the main street with an incredible view of Arenal Volcano. Funky little open-air place with really good food. Both entrees and desserts are delicious. Specials of the day are great!

The lava lounge is in a really great spot to watch the sun set on Arenal. The owners are also animal lovers and you can see dogs and cats roaming around, which we liked but might not cater to everyone.

We enjoyed... More

We really wanted to like the Lava Lounge, but it just wasn't enough. We loved the atmosphere and the outside seating but it ended there. The menu was bar food and just o.k., but the prices were at or above prices that we are used to in Southern CA. You can also tell that it's prbably a great late night... More

Man, I really wanted to like this place...I spent a lot of time looking online for good restaurants in Fortuna since we were only spending one evening there and we wanted to have a great meal.
