Costa Fina Latin Coastal Kitchen

My wife and I made our second trip to Costa Fina and they did indeed work out any service/pacing issues on our second visit and the food was outstanding once again. On our first visit, the bar was very slow on delivering cocktails and wine. This time as we walked in it looked like the bar was more fully staffed and they delivered. No delays whatsoever on drinks. For apps we ordered the carnitas tostadas - Great choice. Was amazed at how well the tostada held together with the large amount of flavorful toppings. The second app was the Tuna Tiradito. Again a solid choice with bright flavors that didn't hide the tuna taste. For the entrees my wife went with the Mar & Tierra - basically their rendition of surf and turn with 5 large jumbo shrimp and possibly the best churrasco steak we've ever had. This dish will be ordered on every return trip to Costa Fina and we will rotate the second entree around other parts of the menu. It was that good. I chose the seabass with Green Mole. It was also very good with crispy skin and great flavor. It was only overshadowed by how awesome the steak was. I meant to post this review right after dining when I remembered our servers name. I'm sorry to say that my memory is not the greatest and I'm sad that I can't acknowledge the young male server's outstanding service. Perfect amount of attention without being overbearing. Hopefully we get to meet him again on future visits, and I will log his name into my phone so he can get proper recognition.Great job Costa Fina!!

Costa Fina was an excellent choice for our 30th anniversary! The service was excellent and the food was outstanding!I arrived early and the manager Rene prepared our selected table with rose petals and the flowers I had bought for my wife. I selected the wine and then went to pick her up.When we arise it was fantastic service from start to finish! The ambiance is wonderful as well. See the pics.Highly recommended restaurant!

Another entry from the Orioli restaurant group and this is similar to their other places in that it is good but not great. The concept here is basically Churrasco's, but done with a heavy hand that doesn't quite capture the bright flavors. Similar dishes - ceviche, churrasco steak, plantains, etc. Except Costa Fina doesn't do it as well - the chimichurri sauce on the plantains is dull and too thick, the service is slow and uneven, and the main room is too loud by half (clearly intentional: low flat ceiling). The churrasco steak was quite good, as were the sides on that order. The Cochinita Ahumada (pulled pork) was oddly flavorless and colorless, as were all the sides on THAT order. The free plantains with chimichurri arrived after our appetizers and it took 15 minutes to get our first drinks. In the end the bill was well over $200 for two people. All things considered, I'm not sure we would return.

We take my husband family and love love the service. The food was delicious we planing to go back soon.

Fantastic food, good service and a beautiful ambiance! We went there last week, and had a lovely meal. It is gorgeous inside (seriously, I would love to hire their designer/decorator)!!! Wait staff were attentive and our food arrived in a timely manner. Our food was fantastic, well cooked and with great flavor. We will be back!

Food was great! The plantain chips and chimichurri sauce was delicious! We ordered the grilled octopus as appetizer and it was so good- best we e had in a while. The chicken skewers were decent and the cabrito asado was very flavorful and sides complement the dish- well worth ordering! Delicious food- We will be back soon!

Great service and amazing food. Just the kind of place needed in this area. The restaurant offers some unique dishes and everything we tried was delicious. The ambience was great and had a nice bar area. Definitely a must try place.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try Latin cuisine. I went here with my family for Mother's Day, and everything from the food to the ambience was fantastic. The service was great, and the staff was extremely friendly. The only downside, is that some of the dishes are a bit overpriced.

This new restaurant is a great find! Eclectic. Had a fabulous meal and looking forward to repeat visits. My first thought when I walked in was that this was really quite a lovely restaurant. We enjoyed the background music because it had a great Latin beat but was not too intrusive. Great service from waiter Julio. Brought to the table were delicately thin fried plantain chips and a really amazing gently warmed herb dip of olive oil, cilantro and garlic. We started by sharing several appetizers off the menu and that was a fun (poblano soup, goat cheese mini tostada and a ceviche style shrimp and avocado plate). Come with an open mind and try different things. For entrees we selected the mushroom and cheese filled Chili Relleno and the lamb shank Borrego Enmolado. Mr. Picky gobbled up the falling-off-the-bone lamb shank. His homemade tortillas were on my side of the table and so I ate them, and they were really delicious. For thatMatter, I thought their cilantro lime rice was the best I've had when eaten with the vegetables on the Relleno plate. I love sweet plantains and so could not help order the Maduros with ice cream and cinnamon and caramel sauce. But Mr. Picky hit the jackpot with the layered chocolate cake. My taste buds jumped for joy and my eyes opened wide when I helped myself to a bite. The freshness of the orange and other fruits liven up that chocolate in the most incredible way, and even those who don't love chocolate should be trying that dessert, totally amazing! If you haven't been here yet, you definitely should try it! Soon.

Avoid. Food came out cold twice . Server was apologetic but management was dismissive and didn't offer to make it right. Mistakes happen, sometimes twice..it's what you do when it happens that matters.
