I had only an hour and 15 because of a babysitter timeline but damn! Tomato soup was strongly "tomato'Y".. Not creamy so FYI - was great though. French onion soup was phenomenal... had ravioli with meat which was terrific. A glass of rose was a nice addition. The cab was great too. Prices were very reasonable and the waiter was attentive and kind. Very generous and homely feeling place - opposite feel of the tourist traps on 5th but just a block or so away. This is a gem- recommended to me by a 30 year travel agent in the area who was staying at my hotel. Called for a last minute reservation and was so glad I did. Best food in ages!

From the moment we walked into Harry's in Cancun, we were treated like royalty. The staff didn't…read morejust greet us; they welcomed us with the kind of warmth and attention that makes you feel like the entire evening was designed around you. Once we stepped onto the deck overlooking the lagoon, the whole experience elevated even further. The scenery was stunning, soft lights reflecting off the water, a gentle breeze, and live music drifting through the air like the perfect soundtrack to an already unforgettable night. Then came the food, each dish was its own little masterpiece. The bread service alone set the tone: warm, golden rolls with just the right touch off salt. The wedge salad followed. It was crisp, cold, and generously dressed, with smoky bacon and bright tomatoes adding all the right contrasts. The dry-aged steak was the star of the table, cooked perfectly with that deep, rich flavor only dry-aging can create. The roasted peppers and silky sauce on the side made every bite feel intentional. The octopus was another standout, tender, beautifully charred, and plated with a vibrant puree that balanced the dish with a touch of sweetness. One of the best plates we had. The table got more entrees since there were 8 of us but didn't get pictures. Sea brass was another favorite. Even the lobster soup arrived with flair: a velvety bowl paired with a seafood-topped toast that brought texture and richness together in one elegant bite. The beef tartare with fries was classic and fresh, refined without losing its fun. Dessert turned into a full performance. The liquid-nitrogen ice cream came with swirling clouds of cold vapor, dramatic and delicious. The birthday cake arrived crowned with berries and a sparkling candle that lit up the whole table. And just when we thought the night couldn't get any more whimsical, out came the towering blue cotton candy, playful, over-the-top, and impossible not to smile at. Harry's doesn't just serve dinner. It creates an experience, one where the service, the scenery, the atmosphere, and the food all work together to make you feel celebrated. Our night felt luxurious, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable for my husband's 50th birthday! Well done Harry's!

Sea and Stones restaurant is inside the Westin Resort and Spa by reservation only…read more The ambiance is cozy fine dining by the beach. I didn't like that I smelled like burnt wood cuz the whole time their wood grilled oven is on. The service is good. The waiters are fast and checks on us frequently. Presentation is good, but I'm not impressed with the taste. I ordered lobster bisque. It's kinda watery, not creamy at all. Very regular. Then I ordered lobster in coconut curry and basmati rice. It was served in fresh half pineapple.,Unfortunately I was not able to taste the coconut. i was expecting that it will be kinda sticky since the rice was cooked in coconut curry... but no, it seems like it was just soaked in water, it's lacking the taste of the coconut and taste of curry.,Also, for awhile i thought i was eating chicken instead of lobster. Yes, I was expecting that it will be pricey since it's fine dining, but it didn't meet my expectations to it's palatability. I was not even able to eat half of it. I was forcing myself to eat it, but i really can't cuz it was lacking taste. I still gave 3-star cuz of the service and the ambiance.

Chambao Cancun absolutely delivers on the vibe, music, and service. The staff was attentive,…read morepolished, and made the experience feel special from start to finish. The atmosphere is lively, upscale, and clearly designed for people who want dinner to feel like a whole event. Food wise, this is where things fell a bit short for me. I ordered the spicy Maine lobster croquettes, ribeye steak (the smallest) Chambao potatoes and potato mille feuille, and shrimp. While the flavors were there, the dishes came out lukewarm, which was disappointing especially given the price point and wait time for food. At this level, temperature and execution really matter. The food wasn't bad, but for what we paid, I honestly expected more. For comparison, I could have had a stronger overall meal in the Seaport area of Boston at a similar or even lower price point. That said, if you're going for the experience, ambiance, music, and top tier staff, Chambao hits the mark. Just know that the food may not fully match the hype or cost. Overall: Amazing vibe and service, solid flavors, but execution didn't quite justify the price.

My twin sis, mother, and I have made a tradition to coming to Cancun for thanksgiving every year and this time I brought my girlfriend and we absolutely loved it. The guacamole was amazing.

This place is definitely one of the bucle list places for Cancun so I highly recommend since it's on the back bay and overlooks the water.

We had a view of the park across the street. The service level is spectacular. Everyone chips in to make things go smoothly. I couldn't turn around and check things out without a staff member asking if I needed something. Very attentive. The food was cooked to perfection. The soft shell crab tacos are fabulous!! Highly recommended. We used them as an appetizer. The octopus plate was outstanding. It was cooked as they say with love. It was not rubbery or tough. I couldn't finish it but wanted to order one for the road. Give them a try!

Hello, We hope you…read morewould consider giving us another opportunity to visit your restaurant and help make this experience right. We dined with you on May 9 under the name Fairchild. There were three of us, and we visited around 2:00 PM. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. My seafood risotto appeared spoiled and had a hair in it. My husband's tacos made him feel ill after only one bite, and he had to leave for the restroom immediately. His drink was extremely sweet and seemed to contain little or no alcohol. My drink was incorrect, served only half full, and came without a straw or garnish. Service was also lacking. We had difficulty communicating because no one assisting us spoke English. We poured our own water throughout the meal and were never asked whether we wanted refills or additional drinks. To make matters worse, we were celebrating my daughter's birthday that day, and it was completely overlooked despite our mentioning it. We felt so sick and uncomfortable that we wanted to leave immediately. We attempted to communicate our concerns and explain that we were not feeling well, but we were unable to get assistance due to the language barrier. We will be returning to the area in December and hope you will be willing to make this right. We would appreciate hearing how you can address the issues we experienced and restore our confidence in your restaurant. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

We had a great experience at Quinto! Rodrigo took amazing care of us. He spoke both English and…read moreSpanish and recommended great options for us. We started with the delicious Parmesan bread.. which was so light and puffy on its own, delicious, but then the sauces it came with really set it off. The green avocado sauce was so good, I could have eaten all of it haha. Rodrigo sold my husband on getting the steak on fire and boy was he happy ! The steak comes somewhat cooked then it is doused in 2 alcohols and butter and set on fire! Check out the pics, it was a really cool experience and it was one of the best steaks we've ever tried. It came with two dipping sauces, a red wine composite and a green chimichurri sauce. The chimichurri sauce was bangin!! We also got a nice red bottle of wine to pair with the meal. My meal consisted of sides-- the lobster/shrimp Mac and cheese and the Caesar salad. Both were really good, the salad was much bigger than I expected and had a runny egg on top... not my thing but I tried to embrace the experience! It was still really good. The Mac and cheese was super cheesy with Gouda and it was delicious! Those two things were so filling I had to take it some home. The manager Manuel also personally came to check on us and our experience during the meal which was nice. He also took photos of us outside which we appreciated. They also brought us an anniversary dessert because we shared that we were celebrating and it was like a deconstructed caramel muffin with ice cream. It was so good when each part came together! We had a great experience at Quinto, make a reservation and ask for Rodrigo!

The hostess insisted that there was no where that we could sit that would put us together. She was very inflexible. Thankfully, the manager came over and did what made the most sense...moved two tables together. Once we were settled, our waiter came over for our drink orders and we decided on our meals as well. I was definitely looking for a great steak so I split the bone-in ribeye, along with sides of broccoli, a loaded baked potato, and brussels sprouts. The steak was presented on a sizzling skillet and it was cooked a little under what we'd ordered. After eating most of it, we realized that they'd mistakenly given our dining companions our correct order and we had theirs. That explained the incorrect cooking temperature on both of the ribeyes. But, the seasoning and flavor of the beef was really good. We all loved the brussels sprouts and the broccoli. The portion sizes for the sides was generous and definitely enough to share between two people. The round dining room at Quinto is beautiful with a large chandelier in the center. Seating is available outside or upstairs or downstairs inside. They finished the meal with tiny sorbet con
