"Beautiful view with 1 wall open to the view. Very high quality service from staff and excellent food. It was incredibly empty and quiet when we went but perhaps due to it being Tuesday or the pricing.
Dinner, 1 drink and dessert for 2 was >75,000 colons so it is a high premium price but equally high quality and we loved it."

"Whole baked fish was delicious. It came with sautéed potatoes. It had a chocolate sauce underneath the fish. It worked well with the papas but not with the fish. I ordered the Tiramisu but what actually came was rich chocolate mouse on top of heavy sponge. No cream in sight. Disappointing."
Tom Spearpoint

gastronomy then definitely plan a visit to KAROLAS! The drinks are exceptional and the food presentation is gorgeous. Our server Inez was so attentive and accommodating! Five stars, would absolutely recommend!🥰"
