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
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.
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 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.
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!
Amazing views. Locals seemed to come for the views, pictures, and drinks only. Next time would do the same. We were surprised to be able to make reservations on the day before. This weekend was mostly overcast and sometimes even raining and the weather cleared up so we got to see beautiful views. They even sat us at an oceanfront table, but the glass is quite opaque and you can't see through it if you're right next to it. As the sun was going down it was so cold that we needed to move inside. They do have some small blankets but it isn't enough for the cold and both a heater and blankets would have been nice. It felt a little bit sparse for a restaurant with four decades of history on prime real estate; we understand those parties with events get priority for blankets and stoves but there should be enough to go around. We ordered: Scallops: 5/5 decent and perfectly cooked! Oysters: 1/5 salty and overly doused in cheese or some other sauce. Only the oyster with 2 pieces of truffle would have been perfect! Red snapper: 0/5 triple the price of the one at the office and a third of the size. Beef ravioli: 3/5 this one is one of the better items to order, good meat to pasta ratio in the ravioli, also topped with truffles Australian wagyu (16oz): 1/5 a crazy size for one person, definitely shareable but that's pretty much the only upside to it. It was charred to a point of toughness beyond "well done" despite us asking for "medium," a disrespect to Wagyu. All around the table our favorite thing to eat was the mashed sweet potato. Everything was served somewhat cold. Overall I'm not even sure if this can be considered Mediterranean cuisine, because that would have dips and tzatziki and lots of vegetables. Overall this reminds me of the grand view restaurant in San Jose: nice for views but the food is not something I would pay for otherwise, but worse because you can't really see through the windows. Go for the drinks/bar instead and take lots of pictures!
W-O-W!!! Stunning ocean views, incredible food, and truly friendly, attentive staff. The food is fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Every detail felt thoughtful, and the experience was just as memorable as the sunset itself.
Absolutely loved my experience at Monalisa in Cabo San Lucas. The ambiance was beautiful, the view overlooking the water was unreal, and the overall atmosphere felt so romantic and upscale. The food completely met my expectations and everything tasted amazing. From the service to the scenery, the entire experience felt special. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Cabo.
The view is amazing!!! I went for my birthday dinner while I was in Cabo for a solo trip. They were very kind. I did the 6 course dinner. A lot of variety. It wasn't necessarily the most flavorful thing I've ever eaten but I enjoyed trying new things. They had live music playing outside. Then when I was done I was able to go upstairs to the live jazz session in the adjacent restaurant.

I had a wonderful time at Sunset MonaLisa on 9/14/18 while on a company retreat in Cabo San Lucas. First of all, the manager was very welcoming to our large group and rearranged the seating for us so we could all sit by the window for an ocean view. The waiter was very professional & gave us a nice presentation of the house drink. The appetizers, food, drinks & dessert rocked! The sunset photos were amazing too! I will definitely go back the next time I am in Cabo! read more

Sunset MonaLisa is without equal! The entire experience was fantastic! I had Boratta to start, then Red Snapper as my main course. The wine was excellent, we settled on a bottle of red wine from Argentina. Miguel, Gustavo and team provided excellent service. The view of the sunset is spectacular! Don't miss this place! read more

Dear Valeria R,…
This restaurant one of the most beautiful views in all of Cabo for tiny. Although it is not my favorite place to Die the views here and service are fantastic. You couldn't ask for a better place on a warm clear night to see the sunset. Wedding ring a small beverage like an appetizer size to get you started.. Ours was like a watermelon mixed with some other fruit yummy. We were taken to our table which required us to be lived through the restaurant that hangs on the cliff and downstairs to a restaurant that sits right in the hill. It was absolutely beautiful. When we came in there were three gentlemen singing and it look like they were floating because they were behind like an infinity edge pool it was like they're floating in the ocean and it was beautiful which also helps set the tone and the mood. We sat down at our table we're greeted by our wait staff asked if we wanted still or bubbly water and brought it out we then received amouche Bouche crab salad on a tortilla it was yummy. Then we ordered our food and they have a three-course and they have A6 course they also do wine pairings two of us at our party of 7 decided to do the 3 course I got the scallops with like oyster and my son got the fried calamari I definitely enjoyed his more than I enjoyed mine. The presentation was beautiful on both of them. Then we got our meals and I received the steak cooked on a lava rock that was good. The food tasted very good like it should at a restaurant that wants to be high in. My husband did not enjoy his salmon as much and my daughter did not enjoy her lamb and my niece had the chicken which was yummy. My mother truly enjoyed her lamb shank even though my daughter did not. But I have to give them Kudos because the desserts were divine! And I love divine desserts. The people beside inside the troposphere and they were not totally through you. But we had the macaroni with the passion fruit and that was delicious my son had the warm fruit crumble. And that was delicious my mother's birthday was being celebrated so they brought her out a tray of sweets jellies and macaroons they were divine. read more

Beautiful view and great food at a reasonable cost! Expect to be here for 3-4 hours, food does take a while to come out but you'll enjoy watching the sunset and hanging out in a relaxing environment. read more

The vibe and the view is just amazing with live Opera performance. To be note that their appetizer is really decent but don't give any expectation on the main dishes. I will only give 2 stars for their main course..... Everything is overcooked and not tender. The dressing is really unsatisfying as well. read more

Super recommend!! I was very pleased and enjoy my evening with friends. We order the scallops, carpaccio and pork The scallops are amazing and cooked to perfection. Th carpaccio was not what I was expecting. The pork is cooked in a salt stove by your waiter. What made the evening remarking was our waiter, Pedro! He was exceptional and highly recommend you seek him. His personal attention and commitment to our party was why made this night remarkable. Plus we almost got bite by a live red baja carb. Ask for the seats at the end of the table. Best place!! Pedro. Thank you for your attention to detail!!! read more

The food and service was amazing! Also can't beat the view either. This was our best dining experience in Cabo, definitely make a reservation at least a week in advance if you want good seats at a good time. We reserved at 7pm and that was honestly the best time because you get to watch the sunset. The complimentary bread, spinach soup and desert were all tasty. We also got the Chocolata Clam as an appetizer which was good. My gf got the lamb ravioli as an entree which I liked but not as much as the Salmon Gnocci that I got. Best gnocci I've ever had (outside of Italy). The salmon melts in your mouth, literally melts. We also witnessed two couples proposal which was cute cause this place is breath taking, along with the live Italian singing- great experience. read more

Fantastic place to enjoy the amazing views. You can eat at their 5 star restaurant or hit the Champagne Bar, have an app and a drink overlooking the ocean. They also have a Terrace upstairs that serves dinner but there was a wedding so we didn't get to enjoy that. The Hostess said the restaurant was booked when we got there, keep in mind we walked over from our Resort next door (The Cape) which is stunning in itself. We got to cut through the dirt back lot between the two resorts. Anyway, the hostess said they were booked, but then said she could "find" us a table if we wanted to pay 40$ each just to get one. My guy said yes, and I said No Way. Nothing I hate more than to be taken advantage of just because. I get they have amazing food and views, but you get the same views sitting at the bar! We did just that. Sat at the bar, enjoyed drinks and apps (oysters) and then went to dinner somewhere else which was also amazing. It is beautiful and a place not to be missed on your trip here to Cabo. read more

Well not much to add here. View and setting maybe the most unique and beautiful I've ever experienced. Food is beside the point here. Gentlemen- THE most romantic setting anywhere. I give it 6 stars on setting,4 on service, 3.5 on food. Btw - you will pay NYC prices ! Tip- go to the lower bar and order small plates to save $$$$ but enjoy the views. I give it 5 stars just on concept and setting. read more

Go here!!! You won't regret it!!! I felt like royalty, the service was incredible--Oliver & Pepe were so gracious and showed attention to all our needs. The venue and views are STUNNING and I enjoyed every dish as a vegetarian. My husband got meat and loved it. A magical evening I can't wait to repeat! read more

Miguel, our host, went above and beyond to make us feel special. Allowing us to move down to the champagne terrace following our meal and lighting a private fire. The dinner was incredible; calamari starter, white truffle and mushroom fettuccini, lobster pasta and an unreal dark chocolate / peanut butter desert. The evening was magic and surpassed all expectations we had. This is a must-have experience if you are looking for an unforgettable date night experience. read more
We came for dinner but be forewarned if you miss your reservation they charge $60.00 and hopefully you have a concierge do all your calling and reservations for you because they are impossible to get a hold of. We really enjoyed our food, the views, and the live music. The birthday dessert platter is a must! The tableside steaks are fun. The service was spectacular. This was a great special occasion restaurant that my whole family (including my baby) enjoyed! read more

Go for the view, not the food. It really has an amazing view at sunset. The food was only average and not worth the price alone. The service was pretty good. It is a little slow, but they take care of their guests. They offered blankets to everyone after the sun went down and it started getting cold. read more

Hands down one of the most beautiful places I've ever been blessed to have dinner at. This restaurant overlooks the gorgeous ocean views, is hugged up against the rocky hill sides. The service gets 5 stars, the food gets 5 stars, the ambiance gets 5 stars. This was the best meal our party had in Cabo & for a reasonable cost. We stayed at the Bahia Hotel- this was about 15 mins further from town but again truly a gem and totally worth it. You tend to get better prices and value traveling out of the main/touristic Cabo area. Breathtakingly beautiful, can't wait to go back. read more
