Best Seasonal Restaurants in Aguas Buenas

We had a fantastic dining experience at Cha Bella! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. We began with the focaccia, which was warm, perfectly seasoned, and paired beautifully with the accompanying spread. The grilled romaine salad was a fresh and flavorful twist on a classic, with a delicious char that added depth to every bite. For our entrées, we enjoyed the duck ragu and seared grouper—both were outstanding. The duck ragu was rich and comforting, with tender duck and a perfectly balanced sauce. The seared grouper was cooked to perfection—flaky, moist, and paired with fresh, seasonal accompaniments that elevated the dish. We finished with the key lime pie, which was the ideal sweet-and-tangy ending to our meal. A special thank you to Shawn, our server, who provided warm, attentive service throughout the evening. His knowledge of the menu and friendly demeanor made our experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for fresh, locally-sourced cuisine served with care, Cha Bella is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

Atmosphere was nice although only 4 entrees items on menu. Food was top notch! So delicious. Server must have been new: she had to keep looking at our menus to see what we were ordering, didn’t ask how we liked our steaks done, didn’t offer the other side dishes (2 of us didn’t see that were alternatives!). I saw her on her cell phone frequently when she was in corner by register. We agreed we liked it but probably wouldn’t return.

Ate here on Valentine’s Day. It was a little bit cold and windy, but still, you can’t beat the view from the roof and we had a very pleasant experience. The bouf bourginon special was Outstanding. Mostly small plates otherwise. Tasty cocktails and excellent service (thanks Jill!) Would recommend to others.

Went for Valentine’s Day and the prefix menu was excellent. Sat is right away, we did not get rushed and the food was prepared perfectly. Will definitely be going back. A must to try.

Everything was wonderful...from the appetizers, mains, wine and service. Our group had the whipped ricotta, beet salad and mussels for the appetizer. For mains, we have the seared duck breast, house made garganelli and the mustard crusted grouper. All fabulous! Highly recommend and we will be back.
