Playa de los Artistas — Restaurant in Cóbano

Went over to hike Montezuma waterfalls and got a perfect swim and hike in. Shortly after headed down to the only restaurant I heard of from my friends and it turned out to be one of the best coursed meals I’ve had in my ENTIRE LIFE.

The chefs are from Italian, from Rome… I knew instantly these people had some tricks up their sleeve. Never have I ever experience sea food so eclectic and executed in a peculiar way that rounded out to taste so good. I haven’t experienced many hole in the walls that actually made my jaw drop but every bite I took I caught my self saying “oh my God” in awe of how delicious everything was. Truly exquisite.

The servers were extremely kind and the wait time was nothing, but then again it is the slow season over here and I assume they’re quite busy.

The menu I’m pretty sure is interpretative based on the season/availability of some things as I read other reviews, which I personally find real and intentional.

Besides that I genuinely had 0 critiques. I’m happy to fly back here for a week again and eat a different...

It was one of the worst experiences ever. One of the many waitresses asked us to wait while she asked the proprietress if we could have a table. She just left us standing in the middle of the place and did not come back. We sat down with some other guests, then it turned out that only the owner could tell us the menue, there was no written menue at all. We waited for more than 40 minutes for her to come, obviously she also was the only one to write the bills and she delivered food and talked to some guests, ignoring us. We asked the waitresses twice if they even served vegetarian food that day, but they couldn't tell. It was very rude behavior and so we left. I have never seen a worse organized restaurant. So just spare yourselves this kind of treatment, there are other restaurants close by with adequate service...

How to ruin a beautiful location with an awkward service. Booked for 7.30pm. We’ve at arrived at 7.25pm and the table was not ready yet (fair enough we thought). We waited up until 8.05pm without been served a drink of any sort. After being seated we’ve being given the drinks only menu and a bit later the food menu (they’ve mentioned they have only 2 menus for the whole restaurant, yes you’ve heard it right, 2 menus for about 20 tables). Food choices were fairly limited as 50% or so of the menu was not available, looked like at at this point already. We eventually went for a tuna tartare which was decent and ceviche which was fairly tasteless. That was our night, hopefully you’ll be luckier than us as the locations deserves...
