Frommer's Review
Located just below the chapel and lighthouse on the top of Cerro Santa Ana, this restaurant is housed inside a faux-pirate ship, hence "pirata" in the name. A shallow tile pool serves as a moat around the outside, where you'll also find a small playground, some pirate mannequins, and bronze cannons. The best seats are those on the second floor, with a view out the windows of the false stern of this fantasy ship. The food is pretty standard fare, but at least it's very inexpensive, and what you're coming for are the view and atmosphere, anyway. You can get simply grilled meats and fish, as well as a wide range of appetizers and ceviches. Some nights there's live music, which might be anything from a mellow jazz trio to a full-on salsa band.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
