Heard about this restaurant from a local and we were very impressed! One of our favorite nicer…read morerestaurants in Cabo. They have a well diverse menu - seafood, steak, pastas, & more and everything we tried was well executed. The surf and turf platter was the hit of the night. Waiter told us it was good for 4 and it was definitely that, with leftovers. We also tried a pasta pomodero and it was yummy with a little kick. The imperial shrimp are a must get if you like shrimp. These are bacon wrapped, jalapeno stuffed. Yum! I would also highly recommend the tampiquena steak - Mexican style steak with a chile relleno. Best starters were queso fundido (MUST GET!) and the caprese was also very fresh! My one draw back was the temperature, but I know that's hard to fix. We came in August and it was very very hot and muggy. But didn't change our thoughts on the restaurant overall. Just something to note.

While there were fans and a covered dining area, this was no match for the uncomfortable August weather and ubiquitous flies. In the center of the dining area is a beautiful tree, but beware of the birds pooping on your table or worse, your food. To make the best of our situation, Marco and his servers set out table fans and I asked for extra cloth napkins to be placed over our food. Complimentary Bread Rolls with herbed butter Sea & Earth BBQ Ribs Octopus Sea Bass - was not "to die for" as cousin advertised Asparagus Beer Margarita 2 complimentary desserts - cheesecake + gelatin flan over chocolate cake complimentary 5 Perros Tequila shots for everyone While we all enjoyed our food, I wouldn't consider it outstanding and the flies, heat, and humidity made for a miserable experience despite complimentary desserts and Tequila shots. However, service was great and Marco did his best to make the most of our less than stellar experience. Because we had an early 5:30p reservation, we were able to park in front of the restaurant.

Two nights ago we brought them quite a bit of freshly caught wahoo and tuna, and asked them to cook it up, for seven people including the two mates with whom we spent three days fishing with.

We had so much food that we shared with other customers and sent our two mates home with four or five takeaway boxes. The service was attentive and engaging.

The setting is gorgeous: lush, open-air, right on Medano Beach. There was a live musician performing on stage for most of the night, and during her breaks, a small band walked table to table taking requests -- such a nice touch that kept the energy going the whole meal. We started with the carpaccio, which was excellent, then moved to a combination plate with rib eye, lobster, and butterflied shrimp -- every component cooked perfectly. On the drink side, I'd hoped to try Fortaleza Reposado (I'd spotted it going to another table earlier), but they'd run out, so I ended up with G4 instead -- no complaints at all, since it turned out to be the only chance I got to try it the entire trip. This is the kind of dinner that makes a trip memorable. Highly recommend booking ahead -- it's popular for good reason.

But two…read moredinners and one breakfast later I was convinced: quality of food and the presentation were both excellent, well deserving of the price tag, if you pretend you are in the states (which I guess is not unfair for cabo). For lunch/dinner: we strongly recommend the seafood linguini. This is hands down our favorite dish and we got it both nights. The surprisingly pink sauce was super creamy and flavorful, and linguini had the perfect texture, and the prawns were really fresh and tasty, and theres plenty of scallops. Must get. We also recommend the pork belly, truffle fries, shrimp empanadas, and the veal shank. Veal shank is fairly large portion so be prepared. Do not recommend the sea bass. Could be our taste, but it's really salty and not very tender. The sauce was also kinda weird. We also don't like the complementary croissant, not sure if it's the salt or something. Breakfast: interestingly the morning pastry croissant was really good :) steak and eggs is a safe choice; egg benedict and salmon bagels were also pretty good. Service was superb, waiters can speak English adequately, and the view was unbeatable. It's worth having dinner here just for the view. Period.
