El Hicaro Jaco Restaurant:

This is probably the best of all the simple Costa Rican seafood joints in Jaco . The food is good but not outstanding, but the setting is simply wonderful: right on the edge of the beach, with the majority of the tables outdoors under the stars, tall palm trees, and some interesting lighting. Stick with the freshly caught grilled seafood or lobster, although there are plenty of meat and chicken selections on the menu as well. Telephone:643-3226.
