I came here after seeing such rave reviews (on Tripadvisor and Yelp) and wanted at least 1 fine dining experience in Cabo before I left. I opted to go for the 5 course Vegetarian since it seemed more interesting and I've consumed enough meat in Cabo for the past week. Overall, I thought the price for the meal was pretty good for what came out (yes they are small portions but it's fine dining). If I didn't eat some of the free bread I probably would have left a tad bit hungry. I also ordered the Apertivo and it tasted like juice (way too much ice). It really is a beautiful restaurant. Lots of thoughtful touches and excellent service (shoutout to Oliver and Paolo). The only thing I wasn't too happy with is the extra $20USD I paid for one of the better unobstructed views of the sunset. The views for the "premium tables" are different and I feel that I got one that wasn't worth the extra money I paid. I saw a few free tables that weren't occupied until I left so I wish I was seated at a better table. The #1 tip I have unless you're dining here in the super hot season is to bring a jacket/hoodie. They do provide blankets but if you don't want to use the blanket and be more hands free, bring a jacket. It gets pretty chilly after the sun sets. AND probably don't pay the extra $20 for the view. read more

We have been to this restaurant twice and it's always a fantastic experience! We chose the 5 course price-fix menu and I am glad that we did. It included 2 chef's tasting bites and we thoroughly enjoyed all the food - especially the truffle pasta and the beef cheeks. Service with Alejandro was amazing, views were fantastic, & I loved that they had a band playing while we ate. Really an unforgettable experience! read more

This place has by far had the most beautiful, breathtaking view. My husband took me here for our anniversary and everything was so perfect. We arrived before sunset, so the sun was hot and beaming but they accommodated by placing an umbrella for some shade, which was later removed for a beautiful view of the sunset. The service was great! The food was amazing! The price was great for the beautiful experience. read more

Sunset Monalisa - Manhattan and a Sloe Gin Spritz! 10/10! - Mediterranean Near Me - Cabo San Lucas, BCS

Wow. This view is worth it. Definitely a place for a special occasion. Highly recommend at sunset as the views are unobstructed at every table. The service is attentive and the food is also amazing. We opted for the signature prix fixe menu and each item was prepared with care and the taste reflected that. A must when visiting Cabo. read more

Ok lets just start with AMAZINNNGGGGG!!!! From the 1st contact when checking in to leaving it was all just amazing!!! I booked reservations a few days before landing in cabo for my friend's bday. Please do not go thinking you'll only paying a couple dollars. You are looking at $120 to $600 min per person without drinks. You are definitely paying for the service and the views! And please believe it was worth every penny. The food was good too! Speaking of drinks....THE MIGHTY PEAK! HIMALAYAN PINK SALT MACERATED DON JULIO REPOSADO CLARO, FRESH PINK GRAPEFRUIT JUICE, POMEGRANATE & BLUEBERRY JUICE, ARTISANAL COCONUT & YUZU FOAM When i say BEST DRINK EVER!!!! We received a complimentary bite from the chef. Honestly I don't know what it was; other then delicately beautiful! The complimentary bread... with the cheese... and the butter... mouth watering! We ordered BRUSCHETTA OF AMERICAN-WAGYU ROAST BEEF as our appetizer as well as OCTOPUS & BLUEFIN TARTARE. I don't eat anything from the water but that roast beef was delicious. CARAMEL OF PASTA LAMB and AUSTRALIAN WAGYU BEEF TARTARE BMS 8-9 was for the 2nd course. The beautiful put into this pasta was enough to see. I enjoyed my pasta however didn't care for the beef; probably because he ordered it well done. Only crazies order beef well done We were blessed with a palate cleanser of sorbet and grapes (more like a grape cut into 4 pieces). Dessert was an experience!! LIMONCELLO served from a planter with Banana mousse, guava, chocolate dust and lime ice cream. This was heaven on a plate! PEAR VERMOUTH Prune financer, mascarpone cheese, butter ice cream. Not a fan but it was pretty! We also received a bday cupcake which was chocolate on top of chocolate... chefs kiss! We haven't even got into the scenery! There is a whole ritual that they do right before the sunsets and the sun setting is EVERYTHING you could ever imagine! Look if I could fly in just to have dinner... I definitely would! Life is short... treat yourself!! read more

Magnificent experience! Outdoor dining with a magical tribute to the sunset each evening. We chose the four course meal and each course was perfect. We chose to let them choose the wine for each course and their selections were very good. The service is impeccable and you will receive excellent attention. Note that it's on the ocean so it may be cold and windy. They provide blankets but dressing a bit warmer is wise. A great place for a magical dinner. read more

Had a wonderful birthday dinner for my husband here! Our waiter, Pedro, offered great recommendations and let us tour all of the restaurant. The food was fantastic. We each tried all the selections on the five course Signature menu and we recommend the sashimi, ravioli, snapper, wagyu (the side of yam is great!) and either dessert. The presentation of the food is amazing as well. The lemon pie is a beautiful, and scrumptious, deconstructed masterpiece. Get sunset reservation if you can to get the view. It did get chilly after sunset but every seat came with a blanket. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Sunset Monalisa is a beautiful restaurant sitting on the edge overlooking the beach. I took my wife here on a special dinner to celebrate and everything was amazing! I made Premium Table reservations which were $50/person and was applied to the bill at the end. My wife and I each got the Sunset Monalisa Sunset 5 course meal which ended up being about 7 dishes as the chef provided add'l tastes as an appetizer and dessert. Each dish was thoughtfully made and cooked to perfection. We especially loved the scallops and the truffle pasta. At the end of the meal, we received a muffin congratulating us on our anniversary. The service (Fernando and Alberto) were attentive and friendly. They were professional and provided great recommendations on the wine we chose. One of a kind experience that my wife and I enjoyed! read more

Pedro Jose was the best waiter remembered all our names and all our orders without writing anything down was always attentive and this was the best hotel.

Ended up coming here for a birthday dinner. It's a special occasion or photo op restaurant. The service was great but the whole meal service took over 3 hours for a 7 course tasting, so be prepared to be there for a while. You are paying for the ambiance vs. the food. I recommend calling ahead and booking one of the premium tables for amazing sunset views. I ended up doing a pescatarian tasting menu and hubby did their regular tasting menu. It's nice that they give you options for multiple course option (3,5, or 7). Their cocktail list is also nice and has combinations you wouldn't normally expect. There's an extensive wine list as well. We enjoyed both our cocktails. For our meal, some courses were better than others. Our favorites were the kampachi tartar, truffle pasta, maitake mushroom, sweet potato, and seafood ravioli. read more

I visited this restaurant in 2024 when I was in Cabo. The food was amazing, the drinks were great and the service was excellent. It's about 400+ per couple but it's worth it, going during sunset hours is the best time to go so you can enjoy the beautiful view. They also offer live music which makes it worth every penny. read more

Views are amazing, service was exceptional. Food was worse than subpar. I would never pay that price for what we ate had we known better. Scallops were not trimmed properly, taste was meh; not buttery and savory. Tenderloin was more like a chuck steak, not tender and not tasteful. Wagyu beef ravioli tasted more like burger meat than wagyu. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Sunset Monalisa - 7 course pre-fixed menu - Mediterranean Near Me - Cabo San Lucas, BCS

Oh my.....words can't even begin to describe how stunningly beautiful the Sunset MonaLisa is!! We arrived at 7pm for our reservation, we upgraded to the premium seating on the balcony overlooking the ocean. The music, the sunset, the views... breathtaking! For our meal, we went with the five course dinner, with wine pairing and upgraded to the wygu steaks for the main course. The meal was divine and the black fettuccine truffle course was by far rave worthy!!! The wine pairings were perfect, our cocktails were delicious, overall, until you experience this for yourself, the reviews and pictures aren't going to do it justice. This is one of those places you just have to witness for yourself! read more

Must Try: The Signature 5-Course Menu. Every selection I had from that menu was simply delicious. It's definitely worth the price. The portion sizes are small but don't worry because you will definitely still get full - I could barely touch let alone finish my dessert. The staff is extremely accommodating. We got cold as the night went on and they brought a heater next to our table and gave each of us a cozy blanket to wrap up in. This place isn't called Sunset Mona Lisa for nothing, the sunset view speaks for itself. read more

TLDR: if you're thinking of proposing, propose here cuz it's great and it will be unforgettable! Definitely lives up to one of the most romantic restaurants in Los Cabo's! I think this is a must go if you're in Cabo and I got to eat dinner while watching the most beautiful sunset. This place is a bucket list item, so just DO IT!!! Food - We ordered the Monalisa 7 course menu because I have FOMO and we just need to try everything they have to offer! Everything was excellent! I don't normally eat tomatoes, apricot, and a few other fruits, but I ate everything last night. I think the best plates with the tuna tartare, duck confit, sea bass and limoncello. It was a lot of food and I suggest to starve yourself for 6-7 hours before coming here. I know food at your all inclusive resort might be very tempting, but trust me you want to save your stomach to eat this and their view. I made the mistake of eating some food before and I was really sad I couldn't finish my wagyu. View: I mean holy crap best view that I've seen in my life. Dinner with the best view to date. I was that open mouth emoji for like 15 minutes when I first sat down. You want to buy the package that doesn't have anything blocking your view. It's worth it just take your wallet out and pay for it. Staff: HUGE SHOUTOUT TO THE CREW (Oscar, Salvatore, Jose, Eliseo, Jonhatan, Miguel, trumpet player with glasses and singer with the most beautiful voice)!! All of you made our experience very special and we will definitely be back again! Salvatore is so funny! He even gave me a tour of the grounds and I LOVED IT. Giuseppe looks like the team manager for Redbull F1 racing (Christian), had to do a double take cuz I really thought I saw him LOL. Thank you to everyone who made our experience special! read more

The 2 stars are for the view. This restaurant has amazing ocean views but it's pretty loud and crowded because the tables are close together. This restaurant felt very much like a tourist trap and the food and cocktails were not good. I ordered a Paloma and it was awful, basically tasted like squirt soda. I also ordered the hummus salad, which was ok but lacked flavor. The steak was good but it came with this weird creamy mint colored sauce which tasted very strange and a tiny square potato. The cost for the meal was over $500. The night before we went to dinner at Manta At the Cape (2 mins away), which had equally amazing views and the food was 100X better, and for a comparable cost (for 5 courses vs 2 at Sunset). Do not recommend. read more

The View is spectacular! You can see the arch from the restaurant. Go at sunset cause afterwards it gets dark, windy and cold real fast. We got the prefix menu, the food taste is ok but not spectacular. The highlight is definitely the view. The service is pretty good and in line with what you'd expect from this type of restaurant. Overall good experience but not sure if we'd be back next time. If you're with a date this is a romantic place to go. read more

Absolutely must visit. Secluded private area. Requires vehicle transportation to get here. Gorgeous views everywhere. Amazing, very quiet and blessed. Nonstop beautiful views of the ocean water, fresh cool air breeze, but with lots of shiny hot sunlight throughout the day. Felt like good fengshui everywhere. Owner did a fantastic job at setting this place up, especially for private tours and events. Public restrooms available. Wondering how much this land/building costs. It's the perfect spot for celebrations, anniversaries, honeymoon trips, etc. Food menu looks great! Of course, pricey but good for what you pay. Parking outside. It doesn't matter which angle you look at. Lots of tables & chairs outside and also in the tiki bar area. Great staff and foods are delicious. I will be revisiting again. Great place to get a tan, eat, socialize, and chill while on vacation. read more

I went into the Sunset Monalisa wary, doubtful that it could live up to the hype since I've been sorely disappointed by so many places with influencer vibes. Holy heck, nothing could prepare me for the view here. It is SPECTACULAR. It feels like you've been transported to a beautiful island in Greece. I've seen a lot of sunsets in my life and there is reason the word sunset is in this restaurant's title! For the view before sunset alone, I would highly recommend. Now the food, unsurprisingly, is nothing to write home about. It's pricier than other places and you're definitely paying for ambiance, not necessarily taste. But truthfully the food wasn't that bad and probably about what you'd expect for a place that can easily rest on its laurels aka views. read more

This was the best place we went to in Cabo. The ambiance was priceless. Warning food wise is expensive because each person will have to go by a set menu of atl east $105 but the servings are big and just to see the sunset there is worth that. Service was great but they take their time so that you can enjoy and take in the beautiful place that you're seated. The red snapper was huge and delicious the steak was also perfect. We loved how the oysters had shaved truffle and came on a stove. The cookies and cream dessert was also to die for. read more

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our daughter's wedding at the breathtaking Sunset Monalisa, a stunning cliffside venue. Rodrigo, who spearheaded our event, played a pivotal role in ensuring its success. From the outset, we were thoroughly impressed and would wholeheartedly recommend Sunset Monalisa for any special occasion. The culinary experience at Sunset Monalisa was nothing short of extraordinary. Our guests were treated to a sumptuous 4-course meal, complemented by delectable hors d'oeuvres and a well-stocked open bar. Rodrigo's expertise in guiding us to the perfect vendors aligned seamlessly with the bride and groom's vision. One particular challenge we faced was the desire to enhance our reception with chandeliers suspended over the family and bridal party table. Rodrigo skillfully navigated this request, recommending Cabo Wedding Co for rentals, flowers, and setup. The transformation of the ceremony area into the reception within a tight timeframe of 1.5 hours, while guests enjoyed the cocktail hour, was nothing short of impressive. Adding to the enchantment of the evening, the firework display was perfectly timed at the end of the couple's first dance, creating a breathtaking spectacle that left everyone in awe. Additionally, the use of cold fireworks for the couple's grand entrance added a touch of magic and grandeur to the celebration. The vendors' incredible attention to detail, particularly Cabo Wedding Co's meticulous execution of rentals, flowers, and setup, contributed significantly to the overall success of the event. We are immensely grateful for Rodrigo's professionalism and the collective efforts of the team at Sunset Monalisa. Our daughter's wedding was truly a magical and memorable experience, thanks in no small part to the exceptional service provided by Sunset Monalisa and its dedicated team.

This was an espectacular restaurant in which i had an amazing experience. My boyfriend made reservations for our anniversary and we loved everything about it. Make sure to arrive around 5ish that way you can see the beautiful sunset and get to take really nice pictures like we did. We opted in for the 3 course meal and every single dish was exquisite. The service was also top notch. The waiters are super attentive and explain everything for you. We decided to also get some cocktails and they were yummy. I got some fruity cocktail and my boyfriend had the typhoon which comes in a great presentation. This restaurant is more on the pricier side. We paid $300 for 2 people but it was definitely worth it. My favorite part of it all is that they don't rush you and bring your courses one by one. Definitely an experience that was well worth it, with an amazing view. If you are in cabo and want to splurge a little, sunset Monalisa is worth it! read more

Three of these stars are for the view. The view is TRULY spectacular. Food was ok, like everything else in Cabo- beautiful but incredibly overpriced. The scallops were great. The tartar was ok. I didn't care for the cooked oysters at all. The wagyu ravioli was ok. Dessert was ok. Service was good. Again, you're here for the views not a culinary experience. They had a live band which were good. Make sure to book around sunset. read more

Never have I ever eaten at a restaurant with a better view and ambience. Wow. This restaurant in tucked into the cliffside directly facing the Sea of Cortez and "el arco". It's a must that you dine here during and around sunset hour. We arrived and were escorted to the lounge area which offered an array of champagne (as well as other) drinks and a DJ playing ambient mood setting music. The energy was very relaxed yet emotion evoking. The DJ's music was paired perfectly with the setting. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect night with more perfect weather to indulge in the wonder this earth provides. No matter what you order here, your experience will be both breathtaking and unforgettable. Service is of utmost value here, and the staff does not disappoint. I pray that one day I get the opportunity to dine here again. read more

The best restaurant in Cabo! Make sure you make a reservation online in advance but the view is stunning, the 3 course meal was perfect for us but oh man, one of the best dinners I had in my life! I would come back to Cabo just to go this place again. 5/5 on everything! read more

Sunset Monalisa is absolutely magical! We made reservations (Premium seats) here on our last night and it was the PERFECT way to end our trip in Cabo. We took a taxi here because I heard from past experiences that parking could be hard to find. From the sanitary entrance, friendly welcoming, delicious food, romantic music, and beautiful breathtaking sunset views.. what more can a girl ask for? The wind did have a mind of it's own but it died down as the sun was setting. No biggie! My friends and I did the 3-course meal knowing that we would all do the family style way and getting a chance to try a little bit of everything. There is a very big wine menu to choose from. Out of everything that we ordered, the truffle pasta was my favorite HANDS DOWN. From the noodles to the flavor, this entrée was cooked to perfection. They also gave us a couple of complimentary small bites to try. The staff were attentive and made sure we were feeling ok (due to the wind). All in all, this place really left a great memory. I am counting the days that I'll be able to come back here! read more

We didn't plan ahead of time and could not get a reservation at the restaurant but we were able to get reservations at the pizza/jazz club on the property. We choose to sit on the patio. In my opinion had the best seat in the house! We over looked the whole restaurant and had great views of the water. It's limited seating outside when you have reservations at the pizza jazz club but totally great vibe. We had the option of doing the tasting menus that were offered at the actual restaurant but opted to enjoy the pizza and a great bottle of red wine. Great sunset views. We stayed at the Cape next door and this was a great dining option and experience close by. Just a 5 min walk. read more

We came in at 7pm as per recommended when the sunset was happening. As expected, the view was unbelievable and just by sitting there was an experience on it's own. The ambience and service were both amazing, the friendly service made our evening even better. However, I took one star off due to the food. We got the 7 course menu - while most dishes tasted great, some were lacking and some were way too salty. My favourite dish of the night was the truffle pasta, simple yet so well done. The dishes that require some attention were the quail dish and soft shell crab. Quail was hard to eat and soft shell crab was dry. Though the food was mediocre, we really enjoyed everything else. The view from sunset to evening was amazing all the way through. We will likely come back again but we will opt out for other menu option. read more

The ambiance was unbeatable. The live band was 5 stars. We loved them! The service was amazing! Our silverware was replaced every course and our glasses were never empty. The reason for 4 stars was because although the food was good. It didn't seem worth the price. The highlights were the homemade pasta, the steak, and the chocolate banana dessert. It's definitely worth the visit for the music, service and views alone, but probably not a revisit. read more

This dining experience at Sunset Monalisa was beautiful and amazing! We wanted to experience dining off the restore. We made reservations prior to coming to Cabo since this is a popular restaurant. When we arrived we were directly in the sunlight and it was really hot so our waiter suggested we go to a shaded area until the sun goes down a little more and order cocktails. Once the sun went down a little more more and it cooled off we were then taken back to our table with a great view. They have different dining options but we chose the three course meal with wine pairings with each meal. The food was amazing! Each wine and each meal was delicious! The service was excellent! It was great being able to watch the sun set while enjoying great food and wines. This was a great experience overall. read more
