Absolutely wonderful! This has to be one of our favorite restaurants. The location is so beautiful and romantic. I cannot say enough about Cayao; from the time you arrive and are seated, you feel like royalty! Everyone is so attentive. The food is another level.. we had the edamame to start with and the chef’s choice of sashimi. So fresh.. the sashimi just melts in your mouth. Our main course was the short ribs and it is to die for…so many flavors! I highly recommend this restaurant if you have never been!

This is my all time favorite place to dine in all of Cabo! The moment you arrive and are seated you are truly taken care of.. it is an elevation in a dining experience. So many wonderful flavors in the food, the presentation of each dish is beautiful. The view from where we were seated, you could see the moon shining off the ocean and it was breath taking.. sort of magical. We had ordered the edamame, ceviche, sweet potatoes and the short ribs. All amazing!!! Everyone that works at the restaurant is very attentive and makes dining a wonderful experience. Great place for a special occasion and I highly recommend giving it a try.
