    My nephew desired to have an amazing birthday dinner & a couple of the resort staff members suggested the restaurant Sunset Monalisa. Small , elegant and quaint setting with ten tables . We went on a Monday night and there; they had a beautiful young lady singing along with a small but awesome band. Above the restaurant is a night spot " Jazz on the Rock ", which was playing soft jazz. The staff members were very polite and knowledgeable about the entire menu and drinks menu as well. I ordered the Braised short rib & it was very tender, just the right size and delicious. I failed to take pictures of our food but everyone said that they enjoyed their meals.

    Came for the views, stayed for the romance... and kept waiting for the food to sweep us off our feet. My bf and I are BIG foodies, so we were really excited to try Sunset Monalisa. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and the views are definitely the star of the show. The food was beautifully presented, but for us, the flavors were pretty subtle and nothing really stood out. Honestly, the bread and butter may have stolen the show. That said, we still had a lovely time. The ambiance is romantic, the views are gorgeous, and I could totally see this being an incredible wedding or special event venue. If you're looking for breathtaking views and a cute date night atmosphere, this is definitely worth experiencing. Just don't expect your taste buds to have the same love story as your eyes.

    After a pretty disappointing first experience at Sunset Mona Lisa last year, I honestly never expected to return. But to their credit, F&B GM Manuel Herrera personally reached out after my review, invited us back, and completely changed the experience for us. I really respect when a restaurant takes feedback seriously instead of getting defensive, and it says a lot that they genuinely wanted to make things right. Glad we gave it another chance! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality and attention to detail were noticeable. Manuel went out of his way to make our dinner feel special, and we appreciated meeting Hector as well. Service throughout the evening was attentive, thoughtful, and warm. And of course, the setting speaks for itself -- the sunset views over the Sea of Cortez are stunning. Highlights: * Focaccia: still amazing * Dairy-free rolls: addictive -- I had four * Bone marrow & yellowfin tuna: excellent balance of truffle without overpowering the dish * Pacific seafood: maybe our favorite course of the night. Beautiful hints of vanilla, and the octopus + scallop were cooked perfectly * Steak tartare: definitely an improvement from our last visit * Agnolotti del plum: somehow even better than last time. Huge win * Josper grill shrimp: insanely good with the mole (a swap from the tzatziki due to my dairy allergy)I practically licked the plate clean * Coconut sponge cake with berry caviar: unique, flavorful, and a great ending to the meal Only miss for us: * Kampachi: the one dish that fell a bit flat. Felt like it needed more acidity and salt

    If you're looking for an unforgettable setting, Sunset MonaLisa is hard to beat. The restaurant sits high above the ocean with panoramic views of the Sea of Cortez, the famous Cabo rock formations, and the waves crashing against the cliffs below. It's an incredible place to watch the sunset and enjoy the ambiance. The food was excellent, and every dish we ordered was flavorful and well prepared. The staff was genuinely kind and welcoming, and the live music created a relaxing, romantic atmosphere that made the evening feel special. The only drawback was the weather. The wind was relentless the night we visited, and it became uncomfortably cold. Even with multiple blankets, we spent most of dinner shivering, and the gusts were strong enough to knock items over throughout the restaurant. Despite that, I'm still glad we went. The scenery, food, service, and overall experience make it a memorable destination. If you plan to dine around sunset, I'd definitely recommend bringing a jacket or dressing warmer than you think you'll need.

    what a lovely experience the other night (Mon 6/22) with server Daniel & his partner! first of all, the ocean view is amazing of course. Not only that, but the food was tasty & the service/experience was spectacular. The portions are small, do keep that in mind. Everything is so thought out for the diner's comfort-from the umbrellas to provide shade, to the live music. They offer a-la-carte menus, 3/5/7 course menus, & an extensive beverage menu. Only a 10 minute Lyft from our hotel in Medano beach too!

    Sunset Monalisa in Cabo is straight out of a romantic movie. The view is unreal cliffs, the Arch, the ocean, and that sunset hitting just right. Best time to go is definitely sunset... trust me!!! The vibe is pure romance. Calm, elegant, intimate. Just being there already feels special. Food is delicious, drinks are on point, and everything tastes better when you're sitting in a place this beautiful. No wonder it's considered one of the most romantic restaurants in the world. Bonus tip: ask for the bottom table by the fireplace. That's the spot!! perfect view, perfect vibe. And if you have a drone, bring it... you'll get unreal shots and pictures that look like a movie scene. This place hits different.

    Sunset Monalisa is absolutely stunning--no doubt about it! The view is breathtaking and easily one of the best in Cabo, even though we visited during hurricane season. My husband made reservations, and the staff were very accommodating when we needed to change the date. The restaurant is incredibly romantic and truly feels like a special experience. We even watched a couple get engaged right next to us, and the server went above and beyond by helping record the moment and take photos. The food was spot on and definitely worth the price, especially when paired with the view. This isn't one of those expensive places with a great setting but bland food--everything from the vibe to the flavors was on point. An unforgettable experience!

    We had an amazing dinner at Sunset Monalisa and I am so thankful for the experience to have dined there. The food is excellent and the views and vibe of the entire restaurant just add to the incredible experience! Our waiters Edgar and Adrian did a wonderful job at making sure we were enjoying every moment!! Again, the food....wow!! Every bite, every detail was thought out and delicious!! The cocktails...while on the expensive side...amazing!! We loved the presentation of "Lust" and the taste was perfect! The sunset tribute with the conch shell was beautiful! I am going to remember this dining experience for a very long time!

    Celebrating my wife's birthday and everything was perfect! Happy Birthday sign with lights facing the sunset. I ordered the premium package and let the restaurant handle everything. Our servers was Edgar & Gustavo and they were excellent! Would recommend everything to everyone! The food, weather, sunset, live music and service was impeccable!

    Celebrating our wedding anniversary at Sunset Monalisa was truly unforgettable. The view alone is worth the visit--easily one of the most breathtaking restaurant settings I've ever experienced, especially at sunset. The margaritas were perfectly balanced--tasty and refreshing, just what you want in Cabo. For my entrée, I had the braised short rib, which was incredibly tender and full of flavor. My wife ordered the Agnolotti del Plin and really enjoyed it, and she's still talking about the heirloom salad, saying it was probably the freshest salad she's ever had. Between the atmosphere, the food, the amazing service, and the overall experience, this place is a must for anyone visiting Cabo. We're already looking forward to our next trip back.

    Super beautiful view! But food was meh... over priced. My glass of wine was $61. Everything was very salty scallop was the only thing I really liked I guess we are paying for the view. It was a Good experience tho.

    This place offers stunning view of the Pacific Ocean along with the Arch of Cabo San Lucas. The arch is a bit far out but definitely visible when the weather condition is good. We made reservation with the premium seating and received a table right next to the edge without any other table between us and the view. It was truly amazing. The service was good too as one would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The food is more subjective. I think the food was fine, not bad nor amazing but fine. We had the 3 course tasting menu with another 6 course tasting menu. Most of the dishes were fine but the grilled octopus was disappointing. It was rather bland without much of char taste. Overall I think it is still worth a visit for the view.

    We had a great experience at this restaurant celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary. The service we received was outstanding. We were checked upon by Jasmine and Manuel who ensured we had a great table. The 3 course meal was great and just right for us. The ambience and the overall atmosphere is a 10 out of 10. We will definitely be back here on our next trip to Cabo, I would recommend anyone to come here and enjoy the beautiful views and make sure you're here for sunset. The pricing is comparable to LA, however, the service and overall ambience is great. We were looked after by Adrian and he was awesome.

In a short order, the friendly manager returned and told us it would be a few minutes. Once seated, we noticed the wonderful A/C and the specials of the day and the regular menu.

They offer daily specials at very reasonable prices. I ordered the octopus, and it was to die for perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. It was served over roasted vegetables with a side of rice. Sometimes, simple food prepared the right way can be just as satisfying as anything you'd find at a gourmet restaurant. The restaurant has an Argentine flair, with several tempting meat dishes on the menu. The daily special that day was a 12-hour roasted pork shank that looked absolutely mouthwatering, but I opted for the octopus instead and I'm glad I did. Everything was delicious, and I'll definitely be coming back to try some of their other dishes

As soon as we sat down they brought us waters to drink. Our waiter came over shortly afterwards to see if we wanted drinks. We ordered a glass of wine and a sparkling wine. We didn't order any appetizers but we did order the Insalata Caesar per Due (Cesar salad) for two. The salad was awesome, great taste, good crunch from the bread, and fresh salad. For our entrees we ordered the Gnocchi ai Quattro Formaggi, and the a gluten free Mushroom Linguine. Our dishes came out just a little bit later which was nice. The Gnocchi pasta was cooked perfect, the sauce was not bad, a little too much sauce was in it. I didn't understand what the two different color sauces that was on top of the dish. The flavor in them didn't go with the dish. The Linguine dish was really good, the pasta was also cooked perfect, great flavor in the sauce, the mushrooms was cooked great as well. We didn't have dessert as we were too full. The place is really big with plenty of seating. The service was really good even though it wasn't busy. As far as the prices go, the menu looked pretty reasonable. I'd come back again.
