The atmosphere and service were excellent. We started with a glass of Malbec and Chardonnay before our Caprese and a Greek salads. Both were fresh and tasty. We split the Earth and Sea (think surf and turf) platter. They gave us an extra lobster tail too (winning!). It had grilled lobster, shrimp and a ribeye. The roasted vegetables were actually to die for. We killed the grilled asparagus, peppers and onions. It was an overall perfect platter and more than enough food for two. The service ended with a complimentary cheesecake and shot of tequila. Love and recommend this place. We will be back.

The overall ambience is super cute and aesthetic and a great place to just kind of chill and have some food and drink drinks. I got one of the smash burgers and it was really good. The fries were really good. Also, the burger had a good taste and the food came out pretty quickly. My wife got the shrimp which were OK, but I would have to say that they were overcooked so they were a little on the chewy side. I would probably not get the shrimp again, but I would get the burger again. We also got some drinks, but we forgot to take pictures because we are so thirsty by the time we got to the restaurant so we drank them really quick, but they were delicious with a great flavor. This is a touristy place, so the cost of the dinner was definitely on the higher end for what we got, but overall the location was really good for a little pregame before stepping out into nightlife

The shrimp was the best item of the night. Well balance and flavorful. The burgers and tacos were cold. All of our food came out at once. They said they would send the old plates back to the kitchen to be remade. They held the plates in the warmer and reserved them to us. When we asked about it they claimed they were fresh but the food was cold. The aguachile was inedible and we sent it back but still paid for it (odd). The shrimp was warm and seemed to have gone bad. The drinks in Manta were 10X better than the rooftop despite being on the same property. Overall, there needs to be some reworking of the menu.

They were so flavorful and perfectly prepared that I was genuinely impressed, which is saying a lot because vegetables are rarely memorable. The shrimp themselves were delicious and cooked perfectly. We also had the coconut-crusted lobster, which was very good as well. The only minor drawback was that the mashed potatoes were a little cold when they arrived. Overall, I'd rate the experience a 4.5 out of 5, which is high praise coming from me. Despite being in a tourist area, The Office delivered flavorful, well-prepared food and exceeded my expectations.

An Unforgettable Culinary Experience in Cabo, MX and a Birthday to remember! Mr. Alexander's restaurant in Cabo, MX, left me absolutely awestruck with its culinary delights and impeccable service. From the moment we stepped in, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, setting the tone for a memorable evening. The steak and lobster were simply outstanding. Cooked to perfection, the tender steak melted in my mouth with every savory bite, while the lobster was succulent and bursting with flavor. Each dish was an artful fusion of taste and presentation, a testament to the chef's skill and creativity. But what truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service. The staff anticipated our every need, providing attentive recommendations and catering to our preferences with genuine care. Our glasses were never empty, and they ensured our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. The restaurant's ambiance was enchanting, with a tasteful blend of sophistication and relaxed charm. The well-appointed decor and soothing ambiance created a delightful atmosphere that complemented the exquisite cuisine. It's no wonder that Mr. Alexander's restaurant comes highly recommended by both locals and visitors alike. If you're in Cabo, make sure to indulge in the delectable steak and lobster, and prepare to be enchanted by the unparalleled service that sets this restaurant apart. This is an experience you won't want to miss! read more

We stumbled upon this place by accident, and what a fantastic surprise! From start to finish, our dinner was absolutely wonderful, attentive service, a peaceful atmosphere, and truly delicious food. It far exceeded our expectations, especially since we hadn't planned to dine there. We had the special: two steaks, two lobster tails, shrimp, and also ordered a pasta dish. Everything was cooked perfectly. The standout, though, was the banana dessert, prepared tableside with flair and a bit of a show. We also tried the crème brûlée, but the banana dessert was the clear favorite! The prices were incredibly reasonable, and we genuinely regretted not coming back the next day. Even though we had reservations at an upscale restaurant, we found ourselves wishing we were back at Alexander's instead. If you're in Cabo, this place is a must-try! read more

The worst money I've ever spent. When the waitress asked me how everything was, I told her it was horrible and that I wished I'd ordered something else. She was indifferent.

There was some real competition for top meal, but this one ran away with it. It is a little up the hill and slightly off the main tourist path from downtown Cabo, but still totally walkable and well worth the effort. And if you can plan ahead, go on a Monday. That is when they offer the Molcajete special, which is reason enough on its own to visit. I also heard their steak night is fantastic, so you really cannot go wrong. The space itself is beautiful. The dining room feels polished and inviting, and there is also a charming outdoor area if you prefer fresh air over AC. We kicked things off with the tableside guac, which was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want to start a meal. Even better, they brought out a complimentary little starter first, which is one of my absolute favorite restaurant traditions. In this case it was two mini empanadas, one mushroom and one cheese. Truly a Sophie's choice situation because both were excellent - hubby and I split them in half. For the main event, we split the Molcajete Monday special. You can choose your protein, and we went with steak, though chicken and (I think) shrimp were also options. It came with both corn and flour tortillas if you ask nicely, all housemade. The portion was easily enough for two. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly, sitting in a smoky, slightly spicy sauce in a traditional volcanic stone bowl. Absolutely delicious and one of those dishes you keep talking about long after the meal ends- and much to my travel companions dismay, I talked about it for many days after... Even though we were completely stuffed, I had already seen photos of the flan and could not skip it. We ordered that along with churros to share among four people. Do yourself a favor and skip the churros-- The towering flan is the star. Everyone at the table agreed it was the best we have ever had. A nearby table ordered the crème brûlée and looked genuinely jealous once they saw ours arrive. For what felt like a splurge night, the final bill was surprisingly reasonable, especially compared to US city prices. When you split dishes like we did, it feels like an incredible value for the quality. Treat yourself to this place. And if at all possible, go on a Monday. We almost went back a second time, which says everything. Bathrooms are also lovely, and there is an open kitchen. Service was great too. Treat yo-self!!!
