Expensive for Costa Rica, but well worth the price. My stepson had a 1 pound burger and it was HUGE. I had a burrito that was the best I had ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Heard about this from others. Great big burgers were awesome. The view can't be missed! Your hotel should know where they are for take-out.

Great casual environment. Even had TexMex on the menu. Biggest burger ever! We liked that we could walk to it. It had a great view with friendly staff.

We came in for supper with our 18 month-old and absolutely loved the service. The food was good (we had the burgers), but the real great thing about this place is the open and friendly atmosphere.

Most of the local cab drivers recommended this place and we were glad they did. The food was very good. We tried tuna and snapper and then had a banana dessert, which we would highly recommend. The atmosphere is so cool since you're up a bit higher and it's open-air. It's a little pricey but most places were in Manuel... More

Best man at a wedding and this is where I ate lunch on the big day with the groom and some others. We knew it had a big reputation - and it lived up to it. Difficult not to have a great view in Manuel Antonio, but this is an especially nice spot. Nice relaxed atmosphere (maybe not the speediest... More

The wait was a bit long. It was a bit cramped, they piled in as many tables as the space could possibly take. The food was amazing, truly it was. My boyfriend and I got the same dish (it was the special) and we were both in love with the taste. Unfortunately, my dish came with a surprise when I... More

Everyone we asked for recommendations for places to eat said to go to Agua Azul for dinner. It is a cozy upstairs place with open walls. If you catch and early dinner you can see the sunset too. We didn't have high hopes the food would live up to the hype, but we were very impressed with what we ordered.... More
