I have been to Pico several times, the atmosphere is very nice, the guys are very friendly but the food always takes a long time to come out of the kitchen. They brought us the coffee and when the food arrived we had already finished the coffee for 5 minutes, when really I would have liked to have it with my breakfast. Last time I ordered some gluten free pancakes and it was the poorest dish I ate...it had 4 slices of strawberries and not even half a spoonful of chantilly.
It's not a cheap place so they could take more care of what they put on the plate from my point of view. I have been a chef for 20 years and I pay attention to these things.

Can’t imagine there being better seafood in a better atmosphere anywhere else. The outdoor setting surrounded by a pool was such great ambience. The sever was so incredibly friendly and had superb knowledge of the menu and seafood sources.
It felt like the chef curated the meal completely for us. We went with all of the chef’s recommendations and they were even able to make everything completely gluten free. We were gifted the pumpkin soup with the seafood broth and it was absolutely incredible. We each got the filet meals, one with mahi mahi and the other with the yellowfin tuna seared medium rare. They were such sizeable portions and every item on the plate was cooked and seasoned to absolute perfection.
I would easily eat there every night and would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the freshest seafood prepared in the most incredible ways!

Pretty good spot for brunch. My boyfriend loved the coffee, so much so that we bought some for home, Cafe Dota. They have gluten free options, and accommodated my allergiest o dairy, eggs and pineapples. Very friendly service and fresh food. It's a bit pricey, as it's 7000-8000 colones per entree.

Barumis is a must-try!
The staff was incredibly welcoming and professional.
The menu has something for everyone – from delicious waffles and chicken sandwiches to refreshing watermelon basil drinks and Sauvignon Blanc.
They even have amazing açaí bowls! As a celiac, my wife was thrilled with her gluten-free and vegan burger, and the kids loved their waffles.
My friend and I devoured the chicken burgers – some of the best we've had in Costa Rica!

Take-out: 3 errors prior to trying the food, losing one star each:
1) tried to charge us 10% for service, when we didn’t sit down. They quickly corrected and printed a new receipt.
2) Only gave us two sets of chopsticks for an order of three sushi rolls.
3) Asked for gluten free soy sauce and non-gluten free; they provided both, but didn’t label which one was which.
