    It is always a wonderful experience going to Pimento. My family enjoys everything—the service, choosing the food, and, of course, eating. It's our favorite place of all.

    The quality of the food was not impressive, particularly given the cost, which was almost $300 for a party of four. Wait staff were courteous and welcoming, but they weren't in control of the quality of the food. Overall restaurant is starting to show its age.... Rough around the edges, with stained cushions from kids at breakfast.

    I ordered the Lasagna and a glass of Chardonnay Wine and it was delicious. The Service was very good also. We also split a Pizza at our Table and it was delicious 😋

    Poor service. It took more than an hour to bring the food and when it came was barely warm. The restaurant wasn’t ready to receive the number of people for that night.

    Staff very friendly, food is not what you would expect from a JW. I’ve heard the price has increased for food but didn’t prepare for what we are experiencing. If the quality matched the price I could accept but we are getting quality here at the JW similar to a low scale all inclusive but paying Ritz prices.

    The third of three fine restaurants at the JW Marriott Guanacaste. We had breakfast in the morning at a terrific buffet. Nothing left to the imagination for breakfast. We did have dinner one night, if giving a grade to the three, they would be 1A, 1B, 1C. Pimento was 1A for breakfast and 1C for dinner. The dinner meals were very good but was rated 1C because I can eat Italian about everywhere. Notwithstanding our meals were excellent.

    We had a 6 o’clock reservation. We were seated promptly. The server approached us promptly and took our drink orders returned and took a food orders and the food was brought promptly. The salad was just OK and had no great taste. The bread on the table they brought us oil with balsamic vinegar absolutely no spices in it and it really did not taste good. we both thought lasagna was acceptable. It was warm and mine very hot. Personally, I can make it better. We ordered tiramisu for dessert which came covered with blueberries and strawberries. When we told the waiter we had an allergy to strawberries so we had to send it back. The lady at the next table, spilt water with ice cubes on the table and floor , no one offered her a dry napkin nor cleaned up the water on the floor. It was left for the ice to melt and the puddle to get bigger and when I was leaving, I had to be very sure I would not step in the water and fall.
