    We loved our dinner at el Ruco in Nosara! We made a reservation earlier in the day through OpenTable. We were in Costa Rica to celebrate our 20th Anniversary and they were the only restaurant to say Happy Anniversary when we ate there. Everyone was so kind and the food was really good. My 15 yr old son loved the burger, my husband loved the tuna appetizer, and I loved the Nicoise salad. The night we were there, they also had karoake. It is usually not our thing, but we had so much fun! The whole crowd got into it and was cheering everyone on! One of the servers encouraged my son to sing, and I was so surprised when he actually signed up and did it. Afterwards, they all congratulated and celebrated him. Honestly, it was our most fun dinner in Nosara! We hope to return to Nosara and we will definitely be back!!

    Food and ambiance were excellent. A absolute beautiful view in a charming setting with creative delicious menu offerings. The use of local ingredients was on point. One of best parts of the evening was the service. Our female server, Estefania, was very informative on every part of the menus and our sommelier was gracious, personable, passionate about wine and very educated on any questions we had for him. The best wine program we experienced in all of Costa Rica. We strongly recommend this dinning experience.
