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.

    It was my 60th birthday and 10 year wedding anniversary. We were treated like royalty. They also provided extras for our occasion. Serving personnel spoke English and were very friendly. Atmosphere was fantastic, food was very good. We spent an extra half an hour walking around through the cavern.

    Pros: - Food and service were really great. - Fantastic atmosphere and beautiful caves - It's so authentic that there will be real bats flying around, incredible! Cons: - The prices are quite high, be prepared. - I would say that the choice of side dishes should also be wider

    We come at least once or twice a year to Alux to show it off to our guests, but last night was a real embarassment as the service was so lacking. Our poor waiter had way too many tables or something was wrong, as at our table of five, we had to get up several times to get help, which at this standing of restaurant and approximately $130 US a person (our bill), that should not have happened. The food was tasty, and we would have ordered more desserts and liquers, etc. but the service had so many little (and bigger) mistakes that we gave up and begged for the bill. We will seriously reconsider coming back for some time until they get their act together.
