    OMG, what an incredible dining experience. The service was outstanding, the food was absolutely incredible. This is our second time there, and I highly recommend it. We did the tasting menu and there were 4 of us. Each course was memorable. Our server Vinny was awesome!

    The food was excellent! The only problem is that the directions provided from Open Table were incorrect - and took us downtown instead of the actual restaurant location! So use Google Maps, not the map provided from the link in Open Table!

    Absolutely, OUTSTANDING! For a Michelin rated restaurant, this restaurant is fairly priced and not overpriced which makes me want to ALWAYS recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone that visits Cabo. We tried almost everything on the menu (we had a party of 6 foodies) and shared -- every dish was bursting with flavor.

    Horrible! The prefixed meal was less than par. Small portions, undercooked, cold food. No flavor!!! Was not worth the money charged. It’s was really disappointing especially after have eaten there 3 x before off the regular menu and it was good!! But NYE was a huge fail on the restaurants part!

    Best dinner we ate in Cabo. Onion appetizer is a ‘must try’ dish; corn was good and the short rib was outstanding. Highly recommended.
