    Gran atención! Cada plato es una experiencia, recomiendo acompañar el “Omakase” con el maridaje, vale completamente el costo ya que, eleva los sabores de la comida gracias a su delicada y bien lograda selección de vinos. Invitado a regresar

    Very nice tasting menu in a pretty outdoor space. The local ingredients were expertly prepared, and there were nice Japanese touches throughout. The wine pairing was lovely as well, and their cocktails were excellent too!

    An Unforgettable Culinary Gem in Valle de Guadalupe I don’t usually write reviews, but every once in a while, you experience something so memorable, so genuinely exceptional, that it feels like a disservice not to share. Damiana is that kind of place. This was our first trip to Mexican wine country, and as seasoned travelers who have eaten our way through Napa, Carmel, Los Olivos, and Paso Robles, we honestly didn’t know what to expect. What we found was one of the most thoughtfully executed, soul-satisfying meals we’ve had anywhere. From the moment we sat under the romantic canopy of an oak tree, it was clear we were in for something special. The setting was serene and elegant, effortlessly charming without being overdone. The six course meal with wine pairings was nothing short of extraordinary, and we knew we were in good hands the second the amuse-bouche arrived: six mini tastings, each a bold yet balanced preview of the flavors to come. Every course was a masterclass in restraint and complexity, with fish dishes that danced with citrus and spice, a decadent duck course, and a standout suckling pig main that was rustic and refined all at once. The menu changes with the seasons, and everything, except a few spices, is sourced within 20 to 30 minutes of the kitchen, which speaks volumes about the restaurant’s connection to the community. The staff was warm, knowledgeable, and made the evening feel personal without ever being overbearing. The chef, who came out multiple times to introduce dishes, was as charming and gracious as the food was delicious. Honestly, we could have shared a bottle of wine and talked with him all night. We ended the evening with a stunning espresso cocktail and four delicate dessert bites that somehow tied everything together in a perfect final note. To top it all off, meals like this in the U.S. would easily cost 3x-4x as much. Damiana delivers an experience that rivals the finest restaurants anywhere. We’ll be back with friends.
