Restaurant has a very nice setting over looking the Quepos Harbor. Food was very good but thought the pricing was a little high. Great people at the restaurant as is typical of what we have found in Costa Rica.

Great location, food and service. Owner is always ready to welcome visitors and welcomes everyone! Attention to detail and great Marina view! For sure THE BEST in the area!

We were convinced to try this restaurant based on the good reviews and found it very disappointing. First, there was a nightclub next door playing loud music as well as an outdoor movie being played on that same side of the restaurant. We could barely...hear each other at our table. Second, some of our meals weren’t well prepared. Two pasta dishes were so salty that they weren’t really edible and the presentation was not very good. The last straw was the price of the sparkling water which was nearly the same as the 4 beers we had. When I asked the waiter about this, he laughed and walked away. Overall, this was a mediocre experience. Maybe we just picked the wrong time to come and the wrong meals to eat. More

This restaurant is a must-stop if you are visiting Manuel Antonio. We have visited this restaurant many many times and it's always amazing. The best food and they also cooked our catch, ooh and they have their own wine. Our favorite part is the great...service. I would highly recommend this restaurant... also amazing views. Can't wait to be back. More

While I’m staying at a beautiful hotel with excellent dining, sometimes you need a change. Last night we went to Gabriellas and the food and ambiance and service was so excellent we returned again tonight. We leave the area on Saturday and may just ear...here every night till we leave. The owner Mark makes the rounds and the waiters and hostess Gloria all make you feel like family. We live outside of NY and experience all kinds of food and service and I promise, Gabriellas will not disappoint. If you are really lucky, you may even get to meet Gabriella. The gorgeous 11 year old the restaurant is named for. More
