OUR RESTAURANT

Next February 1st we will celebrate the 1st Anniversary of our new restaurant. Although some of our old clients have said they miss the garden in the old restaurant, they also have mentioned the new restaurant is quite spectacular, with its open terrace and great bar. Anyone who comes to Restaurante Grano de Oro will enjoy dining in a replica of the tropical victorian homes of old San José…fine food, exguisite china and crystal complete the experience. Our Chef Francis Canal continues to performance and excellent job along with his great team, providing the consistency in food quality that our clients expect to receive. The new restaurant also features a couple of private rooms for meetings or private group dining.
