Coyol Restaurant

Its off the beaten path but so worth the drive. Atmosphere and views are stunning. Tuna tartare was probably the best ive had. Ribeye was bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. All of the sides were top notch as well.

What an experience! The place is located very high on the mountain, so getting there is an adventure, but definitely worth it. The service, food, and atmosphere were incredible. I would highly recommend it! Make sure to leave time to explore the property!

This restaurant is like no other - the atmosphere, the service are all top notch!! The drinks and the food were delicious! We were a party of 9 and our waiters were exceptional. You definitely need four-wheel-drive in order to access this restaurant!

The absolute best view you will ever have for dinner anywhere in the world! Beautiful place with an incredible ocean view. Food is delicious. Definitely make your reservation for 30-60 minutes before sunset. Incredible place! Bring bug spray for after the sun goes down. Not awful though. They also have some on hand. Crazy drive to get up there (on top of a mountain). We had a land cruiser. I saw medium size buses bringing groups up though. I loved driving there. Highly recommend!

In a word, WOW. This is a special place. This is the kind of destination restaurant you get to and just marvel at (it’s a little bit of an adventure to get there, and will make you appreciate how everything you see and taste has to be brought there up that road!) The food was exceptional and matched the expectations you would have upon entering the building. If you are in Nosara, I would say this is a must. It is one of the most unique and special restaurants we have ever been to, anywhere in the world. 10/10 could not recommend any higher…well done!!!

I ordered the smoky roasted eggplant, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The carpaccio was also excellent, fresh and beautifully presented. The restaurant itself is stunning—easily one of the most beautiful I’ve ever visited. I highly recommend booking a table in time for sunset; it’s the perfect setting for an unforgettable dinner.

We had a magical meal at Coyol. We hoped for a sunset view, but instead got a front row seat to an awesome lightening show. Even sitting on the patio, we were well protected and dry. Every bite of food was delicious. We shared the cowboy steak and the chicken, which allowed us to try different sides and finish our plates, leaving just enough room for the most delightful affogato. The chicken had an umami flavor from the wood-fire that blew our minds. All points of service were professional, friendly and timely. Points to note as others did: 4x4 drive made for an additional fun adventure that my husband thoroughly enjoyed, prices are as advertised- high but worth it. It was our favorite dinner in Nosara.

If not for the view there would be no reason to go here. Food took hours to come out. Multiple items were ordered shortly after arrival that ended up not being available. Strange considering we ordered shortly after they opened, to make up for the mistake they brought one tortilla for 10 people to share. Appetizers were less than appetizing. The oysters were said to be “grilled” or at the very least smoked. They were raw. Our party was informed not shortly after ordering but almost 2 hours after ordering later that two entrees were no longer available. I sat and waited for something for over an hour and then a server unapologetically told me that its no longer available because it got too dry. Fortunately because the restaurant has an open kitchen I was able to see what I ordered being prepared and eventually served to other people. The item they offered me was a steak served on a piping hot pan. Steak was overcooked. Sides not good. Was not impressed. Dessert was also unimpressive. Oh and it cost $1,200 USD for 10 people.
