Restaurante El Patio Del Balmoral

El Patio is a really good casual restaurant right downtown. The front of the restaurant opens too a pedestrian Street so there is great people watching here if you sit upfront. Food is great and they have a large selection of mostly Costa Rican dishes.

Our hotel recommended this place for dinner. It was good. I was a little surprised by what I had got for a caprese pizza but it was different but in a good way. I also got the passion fruit cheesecake which was really good. The service was relatively quick. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the local area.

Perfect casual lunch spot close to shopping and nice hotels. Open to the street for a nice breeze but separated. Wide variety of food.

The food was fresh and tasty but a bit differently prepared than what I was use to. Music was great, the beer was cold, and the service was nice and with a smile.

Food was cooked to perfection. The service by Fernando was very well done without feeling suffocated in the slightest. Good street view with a nice relaxing atmosphere

What an interesting restaurant! The building is multi-storey and the dining area has plants growing all over. The food was delicious, the waiter was on top of all our requests and everything arrived as expected. I highly recommend!

This is one of the best restaurants in downtown San José. I went there one night and everything was good. Axel attended efficiently, and he was very diligent with getting everything in place. I ordered a Costa Rican soup, and it was full of meat, and it was very tasty. Unfortunately, they did not have my first choice for the main course, which was San José fusion, a mixed platter of meat and seafood. I had to order a second choice, which was seafood mix with rice. It was tasty and good. Overall, I had a good experience here.

We found this place via Google reviews, and the quality of food wasn’t up to the mark. Even though the interior was amazing with tropical theme, we wished the food would have been better. The service was OK and the location is prime as well. We were exploring the escalante road and found this restaurant at a walking distance. The drinks were great, we just had mocktails so cannot comment on how the cocktails were. It’s a good place to hang out in the evening for a couple of drink and snacks rather than a meal when you are starving. Still overall a good time we had!
