    This has been our best dinner in Mérida. The restaurant is stunningly beautiful. The service is impressive. From the moment we walked until we left, every interaction was perfection. The host was friendly, yet professional. The server was attentive and friendly without being over bearing. My husband and I wanted for nothing. The food was superb. We started with the minaret. It was so fresh and light. We moved onto the Elegancia Del Mar and Black Surf. The flavors blended together beautifully to create perfect dishes. We finished with the cornbread dessert. Our drinks were just perfect with the meal. Thank you for a wonderful evening. We will be back again.

    The food is excellent! We visited Yerba Santa for the first time in January and had a wonderful experience and wanted to return for my wife’s birthday. Very different this time. The staff seemed very disinterested in doing their jobs, waiter was slow and couldn’t care less about providing service. Spent more time polishing wine glasses than checking on us. Drink glasses were empty, never offered to bring another drink. Never checked on us, asked about the quality of food. Everyone at the table spoke Spanish and we tried to engage the waiter in dialogue but he was completely unresponsive. At one point he took the plate out from under our dinner companions plate while she was eating. Literally while she was eating he reached in and took the plate out from under. It is a shame, the food is good, atmosphere is excellent, but service does not match
