What a view, with good Costa Rican food...fresh and delicious! The view is lovely from the terrace, quiet and pleasant. The waitress was so sweet, as most Ticos are. We live in Costa Rica and love wandering. This is another great find!

We stopped here for lunch after our volcán Irazu and Valle de Orosi tour. Tasty Costa Rican food (casado) but I had better, so wasn’t impressed. Loved the tranquil ambience and view from the terrace though. It’s a nice change after exploring SJO. They have a playground and small soccer field, which we used while we waited for our food. Great service.

I had lunch here during a Tour of the Orosi Valley, and had my breath taken away by the view from the terrace. Our waitress was patient and very helpful. The food was tasty, though not very different from other similar places in Costa Rica (save for the Picadillo made with locally-grown chayote). The highlight of the meal was definitely the (delicious!) "Pinolillo" ice cream. If you have lunch here, sitting at the terrace is a must, especially on a clear day. A beautiful place in a beautiful location.

Traditional is a perfect description for Don Jose's. The decor is immediately inviting and comfortable, and you are greeted nicely upon entry. An employee quickly stocked two wood stoves with coffee wood and filled the dining room with a nice aroma and cheerful ambiance on a chilly day.
Entrees were prepared expertly and served attractively. My salmon was delicious.
Prime bonuses are the fine views of the mountains and the manicured yard and gardens adjacent to the restaurant. Also has plenty of easy parking.

We went today for an early lunch. Service was really attentive, food was good. A bit pricey as it seems everywhere we go now.
Next time I will choose some of their typical less expensive dishes and probably would be a better experience.
