Went there with girlfirend over holidays. Ate at Mustard's Grill, Redd, Coles Chophouse, Tra Vigne, Azurro, Kitchen Door, Eikos, The Thomas, ABC and several other spots. Finished w/brunch at Foreign Cinema in SF before getting on the plane. It is hard to come back here.

Best meal: wood fire roast dungeness crab at Tra Vigne.

We had some nice meals in Tamarindo. Good fresh ceviche, fresh fish, but nothing compared to NorCal. If OP wants to please his woman, Napa is the place to go.

The food is not what costa rica is known for, and shouldn't be. It's not that good.

Napa is so dry and depressing to me in July, but the food is much better than in costa rica. I guess it depends on what you and your wife want out of this vacation. I'd say many areas around Napa are killer. I'd explore around a bit if I was there. Mendocino, which is on the coast (hi way 1) is one of the most beautiful drives in the US. They also have excellent deals in July on sweet places to stay, right on the Pacific.
