You would think that it is impossible to find an awesome Thai restaurant in the middle of the mountain...with an amazing bar scene...and dinner on the terrace overlooking the ocean on a full moon night...with a half Puertorircan half Thai Chef! It was a true Ode to food...

We had spring rolls with carrot sauce (yum), chicken satay with excellent peanut sauce, a huge delicious serving of chicken phad thai and a thai sesame (dish with broccoli and eggplant) with tofu. It was all was delicious and hit the spot, with a flair for the awesome tropical location. Also the watermelon martini was yummy. The servers were friendly... More

It takes forever and a day to find this funky, and interesting, place in the treetops of Rincon. Street signs are not the strong suit of the area. Like others we talked to, one must circle around on the one lane roads and hone in on it. The parking is generous, and the third story patio gave an excellent and... More

Great find at Ode to the Elephants. Situated up the hill from Sandy Beach with great ambiance and views. The food is fresh and tasty with plenty of vegetarian options as well. Great bar and drink list, in fact this was the only place in town with quality muddled cocktails giving a refreshing change to "The Rum Punch Special" found... More

We order an inappropriate amount of food and leave fat and happy every time....with amazing leftovers for lunch the next day. Cocktails are an art here, and you should not miss out on some of the well thought out combinations of flavors. We have a home here and are here several times a year, and Ode to the Elephants is...

The cocktails (martinis): the bartender was trained by the United States Bartenders' Guild as part of the Diageo World Class Raising the Bar Program. They are well priced and well sized, ok not quite on the strong side but you will enjoy every sip. The Thai food: I am not the expert to say it the cuisine is authentic as... More

The food was great. Dishes could be made with a choice of meat, tofu (!!) or vegetables & all was yummy! The service was excellent & the view can't be beat. We'll be back!

After having not been able to go to Ode to the Elephants on at least 3 occasions, me and my wife went this past Saturday and had our expectations shattered. Simply put, this is the best dinner date we've had in Rincón and it will consistently be a spot to return to EVERY time we're nearby. The ambiance is real... More
