   The cocktails, service and ambience were great. The only negative was that we were the only ones there which was strange. But it was a nice restaurant anyway. Very hip decor and near the art district to explore.

   Ambiance and food were outstanding. They had a live saxophonist which was fun. The only reason for 4/5 stars was how long it took for us all to get our food. We sat down at 6:50pm and the final dish was served at 8:40pm. The dishes for our party of 8, we sporadically served over a 35 minute time span. Most of the other tables around us had the same issue. People that sat down 30 mins after us, had eaten and paid, before our final dish was served. I get the service industry can be tricky at times, but at this price point, something needs to change. No explanation was provided, but the waiter did offer us a free round of drinks and did apologize. It's just frustrating when no explanation is provided and then we were told "5 or 6 more minutes for the food" turned into 25 minutes. Food and drinks were very good, when they were served.

   The Resturant ambience is very nice overlooking SJ. Love the rooftop experience. The only problem was our waiter did not speak English enough to understand our order. He had to locate another server to translate each time we had a question about an item on the menu or wanted something prepared a certain way. This was somewhat unusual as we have never experienced this in a nice Mexican restaurant. ( we travel extensively in Mexico and other countries and come to San Jose del Cabo twice a year). I don’t expect perfect english from a server in Mexico but this was extreme. It won’t keep us from comIng back however.

   Very attentive wait staff, good food and drinks, and the vibe was very cute! The music was the only drawback as it was a little bit loud but the server had no problems turning it down for us!

    Sin duda, el mejor restaurante de la zona. Desde que llegamos, nos impresionó el ambiente relajado y acogedor. El servicio fue excelente, muy atentos y amables en todo momento. La comida estuvo espectacular: comí un delicioso pollo rostizado, y mi esposa disfrutó muchísimo del pescado zarandeado. También nos encantaron los churros, ¡un postre perfecto para cerrar la comida! Además, probamos la ensalada de vegetales rostizados, que estaba fresca y muy sabrosa. Los cócteles fueron, sin duda, los mejores que hemos probado en Los Cabos, y la música en vivo le dio un toque especial a la noche. Para coronar todo, la vista desde el rooftop, especialmente al atardecer, es simplemente impresionante. Recomiendo este lugar a cualquiera que quiera disfrutar de una comida excelente, un ambiente único y una vista espectacular. Volveremos sin duda!
