El Pelicano - Puntarenas

Recommend E Pelicano. Very fresh food. Excellent service. Chris was our server and was fantastic. We went two nights in a row. It's definitely a CR vibe. Drinking was great! Regular beverage prices are very affordable, but be careful when you update liqueur as it can be expensive.

We had a great dinner experience last weekend that we decided to return to El Pelicano for a second dinner before we left Los Suenos. Overall a great experience, although it poured on our first visit. Cocktails and appetizers are amazing. An award-winning Ceviche we had twice. Meals are full of taste and we were not disappointed. The restaurant has the potential to be five stars, but requires additional improvement in terms of service. We were promised a bread basket during our first visit and had to remind the waiting staff. The bread finally appeared until the end while we ate our Entrées. Our second visit was on a Tuesday night, so the service was also something under the expectation. The coconut yarn and the keviche, however, let us forget all the imperfections of this restaurant. Beautiful and lively ambience with views of the beach. It is a must to visit when in Costa Rica.

We thought there was beer here. The restaurant was not very busy and it was very warm. The staff was nice enough to offer some fans and they were very pleasant overall. After looking at the menu we decided that it was not on our taste all seafood, price was more than we were used to pay. The restaurant was very empty. We decided to drink a few drinks and eat somewhere else.

Great service and food. The ceviche de Atun and the Mascada were excellent. We are here for another 4 days so we will report back with more. This place is very popular so give yourself plenty of time to eat. We will be back to visit for lunch in a couple of days. Off to San Jose!

The location is awesome, the food good (what little we had) but.............the service.........WAS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! WE SAT THERE FOR OVER T-W-O HO-U-R-S!!!! Two hours 10 minutes to be exact. The waiter disappeared, vanished! We left without ever getting our entries. We had to cash out with another waitress.
