Jaguar Negro

The who restaurant was beautiful. The menu had several and plenty of options. The star of the show were the drinks! They were INCREDIBLE! I am picky and they were both delicious, natural, and aesthetically pleasing. If I were to return to CR I would come back just to try the rest of the drinks :) The food was delicious too, smaller portions, but it allowed us to try multiple things Recommend!

A friend invited me to dinner at Jaguar Negro last night. I understand upscale and elegant dining and have enjoyed meals in some of the finest restaurants in the world from Tokyo to European cities to South America … but this place does not qualify. $196 for two people for a bottle of wine, an appetizer and an entree each, all just average food (although the presentation was good). The waiters are mere amateurs compared to the professionals in other upscale restaurants. I simply do not understand the reputation this place apparently has. This is not it.

It's a very elegant place and I like to come here for the atmosphere and the place. The food is average but overall I always enjoy coming here especially with a group of friends

Great food! Beautiful atmosphere. Was there with a group, and had a good time. They were very accomplished to our changing circumstances (we were supposed to be a large group, but a bunch didn’t show up)

This restaurant is do beautifully decorated!! Their tacos were fantastic and their tequila selection is amazing. This establishment is absolutely a must when in San José.

Beautiful restaurant..... set on a hill with lots of beautiful greenery. The wait staff were super nice and accommodating. We were seated quickly without a required reservation. The food was delicious for the most part. Grilled octopus left much to be desired.

The food was delicious. Service was great. They gave us a free sauce and chips. The Guacamole was the best I have had

A friend recommended this place for dinner when we stopped in San Jose for a night before flying home the next day. It did not disappoint and was a fantastic evening. We were able to get a table without a reservation, but I recommend making one if you plan on going. The service was amazing from the host to the server. Our food was delicious, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. They had a lot of unique takes on dishes and really combined natural flavors well. The ambiance and decor were really cool too. It's on the outskirts but is definitely worth a trip if you're in the area.
