Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: This hidden gem in a millennia-old cavern brings you a magical and unique culinary experience. Beneath the stalactites, the restaurant features a high-end menu based on sustainable fishing and Caribbean dishes. Among the highlights is a golden tomahawk steak covered in 24-karat gold leaves. The romantically lit interiors invite you to relax while sipping mezcal or tequila cocktails. Complete your visit with a tasting of three mezcals from the Montelobos house.

    We have been here several times over the years, and although each time it’s gotten more expensive, it’s less high quality. We are higher end diners who expect extreme quality at the price point they were charging. This was not that. Pretty disappointed that lobster, one side and 2 drinks were $300 US. We have refereed many people here and it’s sad to see it so overpriced.

    We had an incredible dinner and experience at the Alux. Upon arrival we were greeted and immediately seated since we had a reservation. The restaurant was clean and the service provided from Axel and Daniel was outstanding. I enjoyed how well we were taken care of and assured that our food and drinks were delicious.

    Food quality was poor. Tried to bring it to head waiters' attention. He took plate which displayed the poor quality of steak and didn't acknowledge it except to bring glasses of champagne which was lousy-Restaurat is overpriced.

    The ambiance is superb but you go to a restaurant to eat and, unfortunately, EVERYTHING was inedible. We ordered over half of the menu bc we like to share and taste it all. I’m not exaggerating, it was all bad. Oh wait, the $25 drinks were tasty.

    The restaurant is one of a kind. The ambiance is great, staff was great, the food was good. That being said, it was too expensive overall. Prices were high in my opinion. The wine prices were far too high, even for a nice restaurant. Recommendations- Reduce prices slightly and a major price reduction for the wine list. Other than that, great place and worth it once to experience. Or maybe just go for a drink at the bar. ;)
