The Heart Behind Every Dish

Meet the team at Moon Glow

Moon Glow Bar & Grill is run by a dedicated kitchen and service team that brings discipline, creativity, and genuine passion for great food to every plate.

From menu development and inventory to team leadership and daily service, our crew draws on Costa Rican, American, Italian, and international influences to create dishes that feel comforting, authentic, and thoughtfully elevated.

"La cocina es un lugar para contar historias-cada plato debe llevar sabor, técnica y un poco del alma de quien lo prepara."

"The kitchen is a place to tell stories-every dish should carry flavor, technique, and a bit of the soul of the one who prepares it."

Guests can expect balanced menus, bold flavors, and carefully crafted presentations that celebrate both Costa Rica's culinary roots and global influences.

Our Signature Creations

Casados

Our take on the Costa Rican classic-perfectly seasoned protein, slow-simmered beans, and crisp vegetables. A tribute to home cooking, elevated through balance and technique without losing its soul.

Chifrijo

A Moon Glow signature with extra crunch, clean layering, and a bright chimichurri that ties everything together. Bold, satisfying, and unmistakably ours.

Chicken Florentine

Creamy spinach-style Florentine sauce that is rich but balanced. We focus on texture and consistency-comforting yet refined.

Moon Glow Burger

A hotel favorite shaped by careful seasoning, controlled sear temperatures, and consistency. Every burger comes out juicy-a simple burger turned into a memorable bite.
