Kika Rest. - Santa Teresa Costa Rica

It was a Thursday. Apparently Thursday is hype night in the north. I loved the music the DJ was spinning during dinner but the party was with the live band after which was rock and roll and not my vibe. Wish it was reversed. The food was good, I split calamari rings and steak chimchurri, the calamari was a tad on the harder side but the steak was delicious! They didn't ask how we wanted it cooked and it was a medium rare which is what I would have asked anyway, the chimchurri sauce complimented the steak so well. It was nice to have a little salad and the mixed potato/sweet potato side, though it was mostly potato for us (2 sweet potatoes total) so not a super even mix. The decor is also super cute and romantic even with the candles and the string lights.

This is a really cool bar with good live music. The ambiance is very nice too. Definitely a great place to go get a beer and hang out. The main problem was with the meal we ordered. We got the vegetarian Thai noodles. We expected it to have at least some kick, but it was not spicy at all. The noodles were also way overcooked, which made it hard to eat. The portion was also way too big, which means we ended up throwing half of it out, which makes me sad. I'll definitely come back here, but only for drinks and music!

A nice venue with good live music and fairy lights/candle setup. The calamari and catch of the day (mahi mahi COTD in most restaurants) were really good but tuna was ok

I got the grandmas pork and it was amazing by far some of the best food I’ve had since being in Santa Theresa and the service is on top of it very kind!!

Great music and laid-back vibes. We had the papas bravas and we’ll be back to try their veggie croquettes!
