We decided to go to Chambao in Cancun on Sunday, February 19, 2023 with 8 people. When we sat down, the waiter came over and asked us if we would like a cocktail or wine to which we said we would like red wine and he returned with a wine price list. He mentioned wines from Italy, France, Mexico, Spain, and we settled on a wine from Italy. My wife asked what the price of this particular bottle of wine was and he replied it was US $60.00. We selected that one and he left the table. He returned then saying he didn't have THAT wine, but recommended these two bottles he had in his hand and explained that had one of the bottle of the the one on the left and he had three of the bottle on the right. We did not ask the price because he knew the one we had originally selected was $60.00. Herein lies the Chambao scam--He left the table and came back opening the bottle and pouring it into the glasses of four of our guests. We all remarked that we loved the wine. My wife then noticed one of our guests was talking to his wife in whisper tones, and you could see he was talking about the wine. I asked if there was something wrong with the wine and that maybe he didn't like it. He said quite the contrary. He replied that no, he loved it, but, that his father sells wine for a living, and he looked at the name of the wine and noticed it was a wine his father had talked about fondly and that it was quite pricey. I then called the waiter over and I asked him what the price of the bottle of wine was that we now we're finishing at our table and his sheepish answer almost gave me a heart attack as he said it was $675.00 in US dollars. He then turned and just walked away. We called over the presumed woman manager, and we asked how much the wine we had been given was to which she replied $675.00 and we asked why would somebody bring a bottle of wine over for $675.00 when our original wine we asked for was was only $60???? No matter what we said, the manager would not do anything to correct this problem. She wouldn't reduce the price, she wouldn't sell us the wine at her cost and we were forced to pay $675.00 for a bottle of wine when we are on a retired income. The experience was completely mortifying!!!! There is no difference if Chambao had reached into my wallet and stolen the money from us. It was crystal clear that they believe Americans have money, and this was a scam to tell us our original wine was not available and give us a wine that we never would've purchased had we known the real price !!!! Highway robbery. BUYER BEWARE of this restaurant. read more
