   It was our first time at La Yerbatera, and we chose it for Valentine's Day. The welcoming was good at first. The experience was structured in different stages, aiming to provide guests with a complete and unique experience. The environment was distinctive, with many candles burning and smoke filling the air. The food was good, though it could have been better. My husband ordered a steak and found it wasn't tender, while my dish was enjoyable but arrived at a slightly low temperature. The beverages were good. The best part was the dessert; it was an amazing combination of flavors, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Lastly, the service was decent but could use improvement. There was a long wait between our drinks and the food. One issue we encountered was that a candle on our table had burned out. When I asked for another candle, the waiter responded that they had no more candles available. This was disappointing, especially since the other tables had candles, even some that were unoccupied. Overall, it was a romantic dinner, but the lack of attention to our request detracted from the experience. Thanks

   Lastimosamente este restaurante lo sienta a uno en una mesa y cuando ocupan la mesa para más personas; le dicen a uno que se tiene que cambiar del lugar donde uno ha estado por 3 horas, moviendo sus cocteles y comida porque ellos “cometieron un error” con la asignación de la mesa. Uno no mueve a un cliente que está consumiendo, es mal educado, para darle la mesa a otras personas que llegaron después. El ambiente muy lindo pero no hay servicio al cliente. Los errores del restaurante no pueden ser trasladados a costa de la experiencia del cliente.

   It was really disappointing. The vibe was okay but food absolutely terrible and the service was sluggish at best. Drinks were okay and probably the highlight of an otherwise disappointing experience.

   A mix between Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter with fabulously creative and delicious food! Costa Rican products used in exceptional ways and a refreshing sense of humor and wonder! Even for conservative old Europeans, a terrific experience.

   Estuvo bien, mi comida llegó un poco fría, y el servicio un poco lento, pero todo lo demás muy bien. Buen lugar para cenar diferente.
