Concierge.com's insider take:
Israeli-born chef Eyal Ben-Menachem prepares only a handful of dishes each day— depending on what's freshest in the local markets—at this restaurant on Lake Arenal that opened in August 2006. If you're game, he'll choose for you. Each of the dishes comes with commentary from the gregarious chef, so you'll learn exactly how he prepares the wild mushrooms in a Parmigiano-Reggiano sauce, or how difficult it is to find the baby vegetables for the pork tenderloin. For dessert, try the superb boca negra, a warm chocolate soufflé-like cake with macadamia nuts inside, topped with local ice cream and raspberry and passion-fruit coulis. The restaurant's name refers to the fanciful wood trim on the porch, where you can dine with a view of the lake.
Open Tuesdays through Saturdays 5 pm to 9 pm.
