We have visited Hammerheads every time we vacation in San Carlos!!! (4 times last year) Hammerheads is consistently delicious, and their staff is fantastic!!! We sat in their outdoor seating in November on my husbands birthday drinking strawberry daiquiris, and the waitress brought him a complimentary ice cream sundae for his birthday without us requesting it !!! When we visited last month (January) with our adult daughter, it was colder so we sat in the bar area,,,, best food in San Carlos and our daughter fell in love with this place as well!!!!

Listened to a rock cover band that was pretty good and loud; had all the old folks rockin'! The sunset and seagulls with the mountains over the marina was beautiful.

Excellent place, probably my favorite spot in San Carlos. The service is excellent, the food is very good, and the prices are not as high as in many other places. My only complaint would be that it’s quite small. Unfortunately, during peak hours, it can be difficult to get a table. Other than that, everything else is excellent.

We sat outside to listen to the live band. They have a round bar with seating around and inside so groups can sit facing one another at the bar. I’ve never seen this before, it was very cool! It seems like the place to be for both locals and travelers. Great place for dancing, drinking and celebrating. There is also indoor seating for a quieter experience. We didn’t try the food but it looked and smelled great! It’s also dog friendly. The decor is really fun as well.

What a great little bar and restaurant good food, great service and great drinks. Don't speak Espanol no problemo most of the staff speak enough English to get by and some speak perfect English. And if you need anything just ask Oscar him and Hool are the best bartenders in San Carlos.

Excelent place to have dinner after a beach day, specially on wednesdays because they have live music. Food is good, service is good. Yea flies are a problem on summer if you want to eat outdoor, but the view to the Tetakawi hills has no price.
