Restaurante El Tigre Vestido — Restaurant in Jesús

If you have plans to go there, just don’t.

Place is nice, however the service is bad (we heard all the conversations between the waitress talking about other customers).

About the food, overpriced, really. For insipid and still frozen (cold) food, it has very high prices.

We ordered the Rondon (seafood soup) which was like a chicken soup with blended potatoes, and horrible calamari and a sad shrimp. It has some side small cassava or potato balls, still frozen, and also, insipid. This was the most expensive dish (40 usd) a a total waste of money. Cold food, insipid, all bad.

Then we also had the Gnoquis made of Pejibaye and they were frozen as well, with a tomato sauce and some raw chayote. Everything was bad about this dish, bad flavor, bad temperature, all bad.

Last, my kid had the chicken fingers and the fries, fries soaked in oil, hard chicken (overcooked), again, another terrible dish, but between all of them, trust me, this was the “less bad”.

Drinks, dont ask for the lemonade with spearmint, bad…

Anyway, please reconsider if you are planning to go there, maybe try the desserts, I was already too disappointed...

It was very convenient to eat at the Finca Rosa Blanca's restaurant, and has a great view of San Jose. We would have breakfast, lunch, and dinner for each day we stayed. The menu has some unique items so you can get a feel for the Costa Rican foods, but it's done up in a fancier presentation of the food. My husband and I tried everything from the steak, to the octopus, to the chicken and rice. It was all very good and different from what we'd normally get in the States. The breakfast was also great and highly recommend the French toast if you've got a sweet tooth. Even better is that there is complimentary coffee that is made on their farm, along with a fruit platter and slices of toast with jam/butter. Each time we went, we had Lizza as our waitress, who was fantastic with offering recommendations and was just overall a great person...

A very atmospheric restaurant with a beautiful view, El Tigre Vestido will delight the eyes more than the palate. The decor is very tastefully done in classic Costa Rican style with contemporary touches and pleasingly subdued lighting. Service is impeccable. The food offerings are okay, but unmemorable. Our Fish Tigre was unexciting; our vegetarian dishes - Gnocchi and Vegetable Rondon were somewhat more interesting. Portions are moderate. Some reviewers note that the offerings are pricey - true, but bear in mind that you're dining in a luxury restaurant/hotel in a country where prices generally match those in the U.S. Costa Rica is definitely not a bargain basement country. At El Tigre, you get the lovely atmosphere you pay for. I would recommend dining here as a one-time experience for...
