Nikkiee CruzAugust 30, 2012the blackened mahi mahi is soO good and big enuff for 2 people!! the best food ive had in CR. the salmon is really good too, wish i had more time to try their other dishes
Koorosh OlyaieJune 19, 2015Can't beat the view. The food ain't to shabby either. Try the fried snapper with an imperial beer, kick back and enjoy some of the most impressive views Costa Rica has to offer.
Dione MoxleyMarch 10, 2013The seafood plater for Two includes all the local seafood catch of the day. 2 lobsters,red snapper. mahi mahi, large and small shrimp, calamari, clams on a bed of lettuce with roasted red Peppers! Omg- Brad HagerOctober 12, 2015Really neat and unique place. Seafood is good here as well as the coconut shrimp. Cold beer, great views and good people, lively fun crowd. Highly Recommend this place if you're in the area.
Anna SzypkowskaJanuary 7, 2020Perfect place for sunsets! Nice vibes, good cocktails and delish food. What else to wish for..
- Colm LinehanJanuary 26, 2015Good bar, with decent food, and an actual C-123 from the Iran-Contra scandal built in. Check out the history in the link. Good view of the Pacific. Read more
Hana JaníčkováJanuary 8, 2019Amazing sunset ! The prices are reasonable. The service there is nice and kind. I would recommend it ! Nice idea with plane, it makes place much more interesting.
Elisabeth LaMotteMay 18, 2016I really enjoyed the chicken and rice. The restaurant has the most views to look at while you're dining. We even saw a sloth hanging in a nearby tree.
Derek WatsonJuly 17, 2023Fantastic venue, the plane is brilliant and food is excellent with many vegan options. Try the Amber IPA or the Pineapple Daquiri
John StefchakDecember 7, 2013Make sure you try the blackened chicken fingers to start. Great price on Flor de Cana rum. Went here 2 nights in a row because the food was so great!
Bethanie CundyJune 29, 2016Was so amazing! Had grey mint frozen lemonade and the view is something else! And we were joined by a couple sloths
Adnan ManjalApril 1, 2015Great food. Always go with local seafood. Coconut shrimp is fantastic. Teriyaki mango sauce is lovely. Vino is barely decent. Recommended.
Nicky ZintchenkoSeptember 20, 2015Great food at really affordable prices! The view and the theme is worth the trip on it's own
RalphOctober 4, 2010The best restaurant we've seen in CR so far! These guys know what service is about, unlike most other costa ricans. Great ambiance as well. Loved it and highly recommend it! They made our evening!
Figan EsmailDecember 20, 2020Service is good, food also try the ceviche or the mahi mahi, perfect place to watch the sunset
Kirt PulaskiJune 4, 2014See if the corner table is available. They save it for special guests, but they don't define what that is, so you could just get lucky.
Victoria U.July 11, 2017The service is lovely and the food is serviceable. The views are the best part!
Manuel Cabalceta MéndezMarch 18, 2017Great sunset views and great staff, tasty food and nice selection of cocktails...
Nataliya VasylivnaJune 27, 2017Seafood soup was amazing, nice oceanview...overall very good, but a little overpriced.
Krīī QsFebruary 6, 2017Normal Place, kinda regular!... the chicken sandwitch is not too good... But the Sea view is too cool, perfect for the Sunset.
Alejandra QuesadaJanuary 26, 2012The mahi mahi on black peper it's good but spicy and it's a big porcion so make sure u are hungry :P
Daisy Perez EsparzaJanuary 14, 2013try to get here before 5:30pm to watch the sunset from the 2nd floor
Monica CDecember 19, 2015We went at night so there wasn't a view. The plane they have outside is pretty cool but the food is kinda pricey.

Is a must-see bar and restaurant with an interesting history. The C-123 Fairchild plane has been converted to a pub and your food will be delivered from the kitchen on our fuselage dumbwaiter. Join the sunset crowd here to see and be seen.
