   Silla quebrada, no hay para colgar bolsos y ponerlos en el piso en la canasta es súper incómodo. El local olía a grasa y salimos con la ropa impregnada al olor de grasa. Bebidas muy pequeñas para el precio que cobran, la porción de panzada del gazpacho realmente diminuta para el precio del plato. El lugar no invita a quedarse, la música muy alta al punto que no se le escuchaba nada al mesero. Decoración “Cheap” para la “experiencia” que creen “vender”.

   We went Christmas Eve, so there was a set menu. The apps were good, it was chicken pate and a curry chicken dip with sourdough bread. These were delicious, and the squash soup was really good with a chili oil on top. The mains though, were overcooked and dry - there was a beef tenderloin and a pork entree. I thought the pork was better but the sauces on either plate couldn't cover the dryness of the meat.

   Was only offered a set meal with no warning – we probably wouldn't have booked had we known this was the case. Food was very underwhelming and extremely bad value given the poor quality of the meal (in particular the main dish).

   Just a fantastic experience end-to-end. Like to think I’ve been to many nice restaurants and I’d put Sikwa up there with any of them. Outstanding food, great drinks, and most importantly, world class service. Our waiter made our night with perfect recommendations, and on-the-house tastings - such genuine excitement about the food and Costa Rican heritage. A perfect first meal in Costa Rica that will be impossible to top!

   The experience was overrated, for the price and the hype you would expect good service. We were attracted by the concept but they did not deliver. Starting from the uncomfortable sitting and the napkins that kept slipping. Followed by the time it took to take the order, the lack of follow up from the service and overly acidic food. There are several other restaurants in Costa Rica that don't hold a spot in the top 50 that deliver better service and food. We have visited Pujol and Leo so when comparing the experience at Sikwa it was a disappointment.

   Fuimos cuatro personas y compartimos tanto entradas como platos principales para poder probar al maximo. Todo excelente, desde los cocteles hasta los postres. Recomendacion personal las empanadas de gallina y los ravioles de entrada, y el arroz de maiz y el vacio al carbon de platos principales. Los postres cualquiera de los tres, no fallan !!

   If you’re going to visit one restaurant in San Jose, make it Sikwa. I go every time in in the city, and it’s always a highlight. Try the bone marrow (tuétano).

    Pésima experiencia, no vale la pena calidad vs precio, personal mas preocupado por que las personas pidan y salgan rápido que con la experiencia gastronómica. Platos con sabores insípidos, ravioles a medio cocinar, vacío sin sellar y sin sal, pedimos vino y solo había UNA botella por tipo, tuvimos que cambiar de vino y nos sirvieron en las mismas copas… saloneros con poca experiencia y entretenimiento, los platos vinieron a destiempo, no recogían prontamente los platos que iban quedando sucios ni las botellas… honestamente no se que pasó con este lugar desde la última vez.. tienen que repensar el camino.
