After watching an episode about Jaco on the Travel Channel, I NEEDED to check out a few places they featured including Caliche’s Wishbone. This restaurant has been one of my favorites so far in Costa Rica - everyone knows I love a tuna poke but the mouthwatering wood oven stuffed potato has inspired me to bring a similar dish back to the US. I would return to
After looking at the menu for Pacifico on Tripadvisor, I was super excited to check out this place and enjoy the ocean view sunset {they’re located straight on the sand!} They used to be a members only beach club but are now open to the public – yippee!

They have indoor and outdoor seating, a book exchange, and games to play. They
We were lucky enough to find this place on a late off night. It was a rainy Wednesday when we stumbled upon Ceviche Piano. We rarely venture off into Downtown Miami except our usual spots because many places are only open during the day for the local businesses and it's pretty much a ghost town. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the
If you're in the downtown Miami area and looking for a delicious place to dine - you want to check out NIU Kitchen. Don't let its tiny door and quiet neighborhood fool you, this Catalan cuisine is rich and flavorful (and effortlessly romantic). It's a narrow rustic space consisting of one refurbished wood wall and one chalk board wall, high ceilings, low lighting, and Spanish tapas. They suggested ordering two
