Did you add (+506) 7223 6697 in your contacts on Whatsapp? *

Mercy will call you from (+506) 7223 6607 on Whatsapp to confirm your reservation. It is important you save this number so that you do not miss the call. If Mercy can't get hold of you, your request for dinner will be cancelled.

Nope, I'm not ready for our relationship to get that intimate

I don't own a phone, can you please send me a fax?

Yes, I added (+506) 7223 6697 to my contact (HiR Fine Dining - Mercy)

Do you understand that guests are scheduled to arrive at 5pm, and dinner will start no later than 6.15pm? *

There is one service per night, and all guests share the same dinner. To be respectful of all guests and myself, dinners will start no later than 6.15pm. Late guests will pick up the dinner where it's at. Note that during the Christmas - New Year period, there is a LOT of traffic so plan to leave earlier.

Time is a human construct: I'm a spiritual being so I don't believe in the concept of time

I'm on vacation, I don't know when I'll get there

Yes, I will be there no later than 8pm

Yes, I will be there by 6pm

Do you understand that I do NOT serve wine and that it is up to you to bring whatever you want to drink? *

Good wine in Costa Rica is expensive, and difficult to store and get when living in the jungle without a car so I stopped serving wine. I serve water to diners, and I removed the corkage fee so all guests can bring whatever they want to drink.

I don't get it: what kind of restaurant doesn't serve wine?

You say you don't have wine, but when I show up, you'll have a bottle for me, right?

Yes, I understand that I must bring anything I want to drink except water

Do you understand that you may be sitting with people you don't know? *

The sitting arrangement at HiR Fine Dining is a big family style picnic table. All guests sit together and share a common table for the evening.

I don't sit at the same table as peasants

I would rather have a romantic table for 2 at a cute restaurant in Venice

Yes, I look forward to meeting other interesting travelers and diners

Do you understand this is a degustation experience and that you will be eating 7 small plates? *

I have learned to adapt the portion size to the vast majority of people. I both make every plate and take away every plate so I know exactly how much food is left. Over the past 8 years, I have learned to make the portion size work for the vast majority of people. Most people often comment that they're amazed that they feel full and satisfied but not bloated and over full. If you're a small eater, I recommend not eating lunch or having a very light lunch. If you're a very big eater, you may want to have a large lunch or have a little snack before or after dinner.

Can you supersize?

Can I bring tacos in case I get hungry?

Do you do doggy bags?

I understand you make the portion size to fit most people the best you can

Do you understand that there is no refund for cancellations made less than 21 days before the dinner? *

Booking a dinner at my home is like booking a ticket to the theater or a flight ticket. If you're stuck in traffic and can't make it, there is no refund. If a few days before the theater play you change your mind, there's no refund because everything has already been scheduled. Preparing a dinner takes me several days, and it requires me to commit my time to be cooking for you. I adjust all my other work, my personal and social life around the reservations made. As most reservations are made far in advance and due to the limited nature of this dinning experience, if you cancel less than 21 days before the dinner, it is unlikely that I will get a last minute replacement. This is not a big restaurant where hundreds or thousands of people walk through every day. To me you matter so much that I adjust my entire life to serve you with love and care.

If I get drunk by accident, it's technically not my fault, so you will give me a refund, right?

I disagree. That's not how it works!

Don't worry: you can eat the food you cooked... so it's not lost. Tadaaaaaa :) Problem solved :)

Yes, I understand that there is no refund if dinner is cancelled less than 21 days before the dinner
