Ate here on a Friday evening. Live entertainment was a nice touch. Ribs were fantastic and portions were huge.

The restaurant overlooks the ocean. It is in the open aur so no air- condition, but there were fans. After 10 day of bad food this restaurant has something for everyone. The salads were great, steak and desserts. Great cocktails. Not cheap but worth it!!!

We picked this restaurant based on their online menu, but when we got there they had more limited offerings. I ended up getting the mountain trout with mashed potatoes and green beans, and my husband ordered a burger. We loved everything we ordered. Very fresh with high quality ingredients. The burger was huge and seemed downright gourmet with bleu cheese... More

We can here for drinks with our group of 8 friends since this is the only place with tap beer in Manuel Antonio. The husbands can't go without tap beer for too long! We were so pleasantly surprised by the great sunset views, music and fantastic service that we ended up staying for dinner also. So glad we did! Everyone... More

Came here for the sunset and beer on tap. We were not expecting too much else but the view was awesome, the service was top notch and the live music was really entertaining! We wished we would have had more time to return for another night but our 10 days were winding down. Highly recommend stopping in for a pleasant... More

Was a little skeptical of this place at first, looked like a large cafeteria style dining experience where bus loads of tourists come off in hoards. It was off season and slow, and the sunset was gearing to be good that night so we thought we would give it a try as it has the best views of the bay... More

If you like BIG food then try this place. Tuesday is 2 for 1 burgers ... and they are big!! The ribs are also huge. A good place to drop in for a cocktail @ happy hour as they have a great view of the sunset. Live music on the 2 times we went. Note the place is closed on... More

Barba Roja was one of my favorite restaurants in the Manuel Antonio area. I loved the atmosphere and the food. Both nights we had the same server and he was wonderful! The food was delicious, I had the burger one night and sushi the other. They have good happy hour specials and live music a couple of nights a week.... More
