    La decoración y ambientación le da un aire íntimo y romántico muy bonito para cenar especiales; con respecto al servicio, una vez en la mesa no nos mostraron el menú sino hasta que lo pedimos, a pesar de haber dejado notas de celebración de cumpleaños no se hizo ninguna felicitación a la llegada ni de alguna promoción alusiva, fuimos en viernes y en la pagina de ig tenían mezcalitas en $120, al preguntarles de la promoción nos comentaron que no sabían, regresaron para informarnos que sólo tendrían hora feliz de 10-12pm (2x1), pedimos en la hora feliz una promo cada quien, y cuando intentamos pedir otra nos dijeron que sólo aplicaba una promo por persona, sin embargo esto no se nos comentó al inicio, además, no tiene sentido que sea "hora feliz" y sólo tengan permitido 2 bebidas por persona. 🤷🏻‍♀️
    SimarubaResponded today
    Hola Valeria Gracias por compartir tu experiencia. Nos alegra que te gustara la atmósfera íntima, pero lamentamos los inconvenientes con el servicio y las promociones. Para aclarar, los viernes y sábados ofrecemos mezcalitas a $120, mientras que de domingo a jueves nuestra hora feliz es de 10:00 pm a 12:00 am con 2x1 en bebidas. Lamentamos la confusión y ya estamos trabajando para mejorar la comunicación con nuestro equipo. También sentimos no haber reconocido tu celebración como esperabas. Tomaremos tus comentarios para asegurarnos de que las próximas experiencias sean memorables. Esperamos tener la oportunidad de recibirte nuevamente y brindarte la experiencia que mereces. Si decides visitarnos otra vez, no dudes en escribirnos para asegurarnos de que tu próxima experiencia sea perfecta.

    We go to San Jose Del Cabo all the time and have never tried this restaurant. It was by far the best food we have had. The beet salad and french fries with truffle sauce were outstanding. The ambience and service were also impeccable. We will definitely go back.

    My husband did not love the menu, but he did enjoy the two appetizers we shared. That was his meal. My salmon entree was good (but it was not served real hot) and desert was not great. Wonderful rooftop setting though.
    SimarubaResponded today
    Thank you for your feedback! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the appetizers and our rooftop setting—it’s always a pleasure to provide a memorable atmosphere. We’re sorry to hear the dessert didn’t meet your expectations. Since you opted not to choose a dessert from our menu, we offered the ice cream as a courtesy, hoping to provide a sweet ending to your meal. We’d love for you to visit us again and try one of the desserts from our menu—we’re confident they’ll win you over! Please don’t judge us solely on the courtesy item, as it wasn’t intended to represent the full scope of what we offer. We look forward to welcoming you back for an even better experience.

    Muy bonito ROOFTOP BAR, la comida y bebidas excelentes, la amabilidad y atencion de meseras excelente, solo un concejo propostivo: que al mencionar que es una celebracion se tenga pensado un festejo mas festivo, si nos ofrecieron unas copas de cortesia pero falto emocion en la celebracion. Felicidades a todos! Muchas gracias! Regresaremos
