Amazing Infinity Pool and the Food was a plus

We stayed near this Restaurant for 21 days. Went here twice and the food was good but the swim up pool was amazing! It is the best place to watch the sunsets which are mind blowing.

Hello, As a connoisseur of many cultural foods and high end restaurants world wide, this restaurant would rate low. Our reasoning: We tried to book on their website 3x and when we didn’t receive a confirmation I called, no reservation was found. The employee took...our name down 2x with the spelling of our name 2x, he spoke perfect English. When we arrived the host acted as if he found our reservation then asked us to sit at the bar while we waited, said he would seat us soon, 30 minutes later we asked about our table, then we asked another 2x when we realized he wasn’t coming to seat us. He finally came over after 45 minutes and told us he was sorry it would probably be another hour. We chose not to stay and found a very nice restaurant Tarreza Lounge in Protrero., my review for this restaurant was much higher, see my review. Sianora friendsMore

Wonderful experience!

We’ve been there twice in the past month. Start with a swim and drinks - excellent Margaritas - in the gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the sea and then dry off and have dinner. The food is excellent. Highly recommend the bacon wrapped dates app, sea...bass and key lime pie. Best of all, the staff couldn’t be warmer and friendlier. I get the impression the great vibes start with the cool owners who are always on site and empower those around them to spread the joy. Just great.More

Great View Terrible Service and Average Food

The location was awesome! We had a reservation for sunset and it was totally worth it. The tables are located right next to the pool so a bit distracting with the kids running around; however, the view was spectacular. The bar drinks were some of...the best for the end of our week and half in country trip. The tapas were pretty good would recommend order two or three since the portions are based on single serving. The main meals were average at best and took almost an hour from order to table side. We we’re not able to get out of the restaurant for over five hours! (Not intentional). The service was awful and once any type of order was placed it was a minimum of 30 minutes before someone returned. We were trying to celebrate a birthday and had emailed in advance spoke to the waiter and even the manager upon arrival and it was still a struggle. I believe the owner was onsite during our visit and was more interested in engaging a single table vice looking out for the entire restaurant. Sadly the view was awesome but the service was terrible and the food average at best.More

Do not miss this place!

This place is amazing! The view is everything. The drinks are good, food is yummy, prices are reasonable, and staff is friendly. We came twice during our week stay. Our car battery died the first time we visited and the staff went out of their...way to help us find somebody who had jumper cables. The server Luis helped us jump our car and we’re soooo thankful! We can’t wait to come back :) Do not miss this special place!More

Restaurant with Geat Sunset View from the Infinity Pool.

Wow, if you want a fabulous place to visit for supper with an out of this world view, go to Gracie Mar Vista. We went in the afternoon and swam in the infinity pool which is free if you spend $20. We ate 9 tapas...for the 4 of us and they were all delicious!! The bartenders at the swim up bar joked about Dad wearing a Coco Loco hat( another fabulous restaurant in Playa Flamingo) saying he would not be allowed in if he wore that hat. The restaurant is accessible with a golf cart from neighboring Playa Flamingo, Potrero, Brassalito.More

Visited during a beautiful sunset with friends for my 50th birthday. I wish I had a magical phrase that would instantly have anyone reading this go and book a reservation. The view is amazing, the food is even better and the owners are wonderful people....Frankie went so far as to make me a blueberry BBQ pork chop for my birthday cake. Happy happy. Thank you to the entire staff for making my birthday so very special.More

Great view, amazing food!

We went to this restaurant on our last night in Costa Rica . We wished we had discovered it earlier so we could have enjoyed it again. The food was amazing. There were 7 of us so we had quite the variety and each dish...was great. We went for the sunset but it was raining so no sunset but the view was still beautiful .More

Perfect spot for a great dinner with a view

Visited Gracia twice while in Costa Rica. The first time was for appetizers and drinks and a glorious sunset. We returned our last evening for dinner with a view. First, the sunset views are spectacular and hard to beat. The staff could not have been...more welcoming and attentive. We had seven guests and every meal was delicious. The sea bass seemed to be the biggest hit and the pork chop was incredible. Would highly recommend a dinner here for couples or a large group of friends. Didn’t get to try the swim up bar this time but maybe next trip. Hope to return!More
