“Tin roof, concrete floor, ocean views, delicious food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

Just the kind of restaurant you would expect in Dominical, Costa Rica! Low key yet very inviting! The 180 degree views of the Pacific are amazing. We enjoyed blackened tuna which was cooked to perfection and served with roasted potatoes and a fresh salad. Friendly waiter and fairly quick service although this was for lunch. Take it slow when you enter as the road is not the best.

“mini 4x4 adventure followed by gourmet lunch”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2013

La Parcela was a highlight on our trip to Dominical, so much so that we visited a couple times.

You'll pay a little more than you would at the tourist traps off the beach in Dominical except at La Parcela you have a much better view and it's so secluded that you need a 4x4 to get to it. - Just my style.

The tuna tartare is excellent and the tuna steak comes out with a little wasabi. Those were our favorites.

“Best restaurant in Dominical!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

This restaurant is amazing!! It sits out on a small peninsula so you have ocean views from both sides of the restaurant. The ocean breeze feels amazing and the food is fantastic!!

“Average Tico food in a great coastal location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

There are few restaurants in this area that are located right on the beach, and this place is found overlooking a rocky bay. You get to it via a mile long very rough track from the main road.

We went for dinner, and as its so dark around here we couldn't really appreciate the location. At night the main dining area is quite badly lit and we had problems reading our menu. The decor is quite basic and the menu for a familiar mix of tico and American dishes. We had bruschetta to start, which were ok, then the blackened tuna which was fine. This is simple home cooking, with no pretensions. Service was prompt and efficient.

The place was reasonably busy for a Saturday evening. My recommendation would be to go for lunch to enjoy the views an sea breeze.

“All about breeze and view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

Food was good... setting the best! We were there at low tide with waves crashing over lava slabs. Beautiful.
