My husband and I recently hosted a 50 guest wedding for our daughter at Adventure Dining and most of our guests told us it was the funnest, most beautiful, and overall best wedding they had ever been to. Jack was great to work with during the planning process and promised to deliver a first class wedding experience - he came... More

Geteting to adventure dining is an experience in itself. A bit "off-road" but the views on the way up there are spectacular. This is a very unique place, perched on the top of the mountains, looking out over rainforest and the ocean with a waterfall for company. Stunning vista!!! Jack, the owner is a very funny guy, laid back and... More

The location of this restaurant alone makes the beautiful drive up the mountain worth the experience. Adventure Dining sits on the edge of a mountain side with views to the waterfall, jungle canopy and coastline off in the distance. Throw in the sunset and double rainbow we were treated to and there really are few dining experiences like this anywhere.... More

If you go to Costa Rica, you have to eat at this place. This is the best dinner and dessert I have ever had. This place sits at a high elevation surrounded by a massive garden and a nearby waterfall. There is also music to dance. We visited many restaurants in Jaco and this restaurant surpasses the other restaurants in... More

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience (unless you do Adventure Dining more than once). It blew away our highest of expectations. Jack thinks of everything and took such great care of us. The drinks, food, and most importantly, the setting, were just beyond amazing. We went with an extended family of 6 and no one in the group had ever... More

What an amazing night! My husband and I found Adventure Dining on Trip Advisor and we were intrigued by the reviews. We certainly weren't disappointed! The Pura Vida gardens surrounding the mountain top restaurant were beautiful. There was a waterfall view from our dinner table. The owner, Jack, knew we were on honeymoon and really made us feel special. I... More

There was a group of 8 of us who were picked up from our resort in a nice, comfortable van. We had a safe drive up the hill to the garden and were greeted by Jack with beautiful flowers for the women. After a nice stroll around the beautiful grounds we headed down the path to Adventure Dining where an... More

Our family enjoyed the experience we had at Adventure Dining. They picked us up just like the reviews said and we enjoyed the company of the other guests on the ride up. Pura Vida Gardens and the dining area are beautiful. The views are exquisite even though the waterfall was not rushing as much due to the fact that it... More

What a fabulous evening we had. It started when the nice, comfortable Mercedes van picked us up in front of our beach house a Playa Hermosa. Traveling 2000 vertical feet above the coast we disembarked at the beautiful gardens. After touring the surrounding garden area we headed down the gorgeous path to the Adventure Dining cabana. Looking south to the... More
