My husband and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sunset Monalisa, and I must say it was an incredible experience. Nestled on the breathtaking cliffs of Cabo San Lucas, Sunset Monalisa offers not only a panoramic view of the ocean and arch, but also an amazing dining experience with exceptional service. The attentive staff guided us to our table, perfectly positioned to have an unobstructed view of the stunning sunset and view of the arch. The setting was nothing short of amazing. My husband booked this restaurant for our anniversary and opted for the anniversary special and a 7 course meal (the Chef Journey). Every dish presented was a work of art, both visually and in terms of taste. I don't eat beef or raw foods and so the server was nice enough to mix some of my courses with those on the vegetarian menu. For every meal, we were given new utensils which was a new experience for us and for every dish, the server described to us exactly what was being served. The attention to detail and commitment to providing a complete dining experience was evident in every aspect of the meal. Our favorite dish of the 7 courses was the truffle fettuccine with Parmesan foam! So delicious! Of course, every course was delicious though. But what truly sets Sunset Monalisa apart is its commitment to excellent service. The staff's attentiveness and excitement for their work elevated the entire experience. On top of our 7 courses, they gave us a whole anniversary cake. We couldn't finish it anymore on top of our food, but they boxed it up nicely for us. I must say we definitely felt pampered for sure. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, Sunset Monalisa will exceed your expectations. read more

I have been going to Cabo for 20+ years. I own a luxury AirBNB rental in Pedregal. I was at Sunset Monalisa for a close friends' 30th birthday on June 17. This experience was a complete fail on almost all accounts: service, food, value, etc. The atmosphere is beautiful. That's the only thing positive I can really say. We had a reservation for 11 people. We had asked in advance for the 3- course prix fixe menu. As soon as we arrived, they insisted on upselling us to the 5-course menu. The server called the manager over and made a big deal out of it, before finally agreeing. The first course arrived. Everyone agreed it was horrible. The scallops were cold and chewy. The baked oysters were equally disappointing. The next course was also disappointing. I had the filet. It was "ok" but not something you'd expect at a restaurant of this caliber. The lobster faggotini was cold and unappetizing. For dessert, they brought a few of us a bowl of grapes with a flower on top. This was because we had mushroom allergy. Obviously there was no mushroom in the dessert. Even if there was, a bowl of grapes for dessert is a joke. I asked for a manager. He was unavailable. The server brought the bill and the printer was so out of ink that it was illegible. He disappeared for 10 minutes and finally returned. He assured me a manager would contact me the next day, and I provided my phone number. No call. I then emailed their generic form on the website. No response. We paid $1700 USD for a mediocre experience overall. I won't be coming back any time soon. I also won't be referring any of my guests here anymore. read more

From the moment my wife and I arrived at Sunset Monalisa in Cabo, Mexico, we knew we were in for a special evening. Nestled against a backdrop of stunning ocean views, this restaurant provided an ambiance that was both romantic and serene, setting the stage for what turned out to be an unforgettable dining experience. The food was nothing short of amazing. My wife opted for the signature course, a beautifully curated selection that showcased the chef's expertise and creativity, capturing the essence of Mexican cuisine with a sophisticated twist. Each dish was a masterpiece, both visually and gastronomically, leaving us in awe of the flavors and craftsmanship. I decided on the beef ravioli, and it was, without exaggeration, one of the best dishes I've ever had. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the beef filling was rich and flavorful, complemented by a sauce that was simply divine. Every bite was a celebration of fine ingredients and culinary excellence. What made our experience even more remarkable was our server, Alejandro. His professionalism, knowledge of the menu, and genuine warmth added a personal touch to our evening. Alejandro's great suggestions ensured that our meal was perfectly tailored to our tastes, and his attentive, top-notch service made us feel truly valued and taken care of. Sunset Monalisa is not just a restaurant; it's a destination that offers an unparalleled dining experience.

Our recent dining experience at Sunset Mona Lisa in Cabo San Lucas was nothing short of spectacular! We had the privilege of being seated at one of their top-tier tables, offering an unparalleled view of the Sea of Cortez and the iconic Cabo Arch right at sunset--truly a breathtaking sight. Two of us indulged in perfectly cooked steaks, while the other two enjoyed the incredible five-course experience, each dish beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor. The cocktails were equally amazing, perfectly balanced and a delight to sip as the sun dipped below the horizon. The entertainment took the night to a whole new level. The opera singer's voice was absolutely mesmerizing, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere. And the sunset conch shell ceremony? Unbelievable! It was such a special touch, making the evening feel truly magical and unforgettable. Sunset Mona Lisa is more than just a restaurant--it's a full sensory experience. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Cabo, this is the place. Highly recommended! read more

Sunset Monalisa is truly all about the VIEW! Here's the honest take - book it around 3pm if you're heading there in winter because the sun sets quickly. The sunset is incredible, absolutely spectacular. No exaggeration. Service-wise, they really know what they're doing. Now, about the food... let me be direct - it's pretty mediocre. I was expecting some Michelin-level cuisine given all the hype, but it's rather subpar. Price-wise, it's decent, but the food definitely doesn't match the expectations. However... the view makes it all worthwhile. You should absolutely still go if you're in Cabo. It's one of those places where the atmosphere and setting just make up for everything else. Pro tip: Make your reservations early! And remember, 3pm in winter is the perfect time for catching that sunset moment. It's worth planning your day around it. Bottom line: Go for the views and ambiance, not the food. It's a must-visit spot in Cabo - just adjust your expectations on the cuisine and you'll have an amazing time!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Honestly, I have mixed feelings about our experience. The food, location, and ambiance were absolutely perfect, but the service left a lot to be desired. Our group waited over half an hour before a server even came to take our drink orders. When the drinks finally arrived, it took just as long for them to come back and take our food order. Throughout the night, the servers were inattentive, cold, and unhelpful with our group, especially compared to how they treated other tables around us. While we can't confirm it, several of us couldn't help but feel that the lack of attention was because most of the women in our group were Black. This made the experience all the more heartbreaking, as we were there to celebrate my best friend's bachelorette party. This was the activity she had been most excited about, but instead, it left her feeling deeply hurt and disappointed. The evening ended with us returning to our resort to process what had happened. Please do better. No one deserves to feel like their presence is unwelcome. read more

Sunset Monalisa is an absolute must-visit when in Los Cabos! The views here are truly to die for - a stunning 180-degree panorama of Cabo's coastline that is especially magical during sunset. It's no surprise this place is always in high demand, so reservations are a must. The food is just as impressive as the views. We started with the octopus carpaccio, which was fresh, tender, and beautifully presented. The lobster risotto was rich, creamy, and perfectly cooked, while the rack of lamb was flavorful and tender, with just the right amount of seasoning. For dessert, the chocolate lava cake was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. The cozy ambiance and live entertainment add so much to the experience. The vibe is romantic and lively, making it perfect for a special occasion or just an unforgettable evening. From the incredible service to the breathtaking views and outstanding food, Sunset Monalisa checks all the boxes for a 5-star dining experience. This place is a Cabo treasure - I can't wait to come back! read more

The ambiance was warm and elegant, with a relaxed atmosphere that made us feel both special and comfortable. The views from our table were simply breathtaking -- the perfect backdrop for our evening. To top it all off, the staff surprised us with an extra dessert to mark our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful and memorable gesture. We left feeling full, happy, and grateful for such a beautiful evening. Highly recommend for any special occasion -- or simply if you're in the mood to treat yourself. read more

Sunset Monalisa in Cabo is truly a gem. Although we stayed at an all-inclusive hotel, I am glad we came here for dinner since it's a truly unforgettable experience. The ambiance is elegant and romantic with a perfect view overlooking the ocean and coastline with a breathtaking sunset. The service was exceptional, the staff were attentive, knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendation. We opted for their 3-course menu which has a huge selection of items for you to choose from. While most dishes were delicious, some items left us a bit disappointed. E.g. the tiramisu, prepared tableside, was a highlight in presentation but fell short in taste. The ladyfingers were too crunchy and lacked the rich coffee flavor, they could probably pre-soak it to enhance the overall experience. Despite these minor disappointments, it is still a must-visit in Cabo for its stunning views and impeccable service. read more

We just visited this restaurant last week for our Anniversary dinner. We arrived at 5pm just before the Sunset, we were immediately greeted by very professional and friendly staff, that walked us to what is probably the best "view table" we have ever sat at. Our Server Nena, was very attentive and suggested everything we had from appetizers to desert. Our sommelier Miguel Angel, took the time to ask about our wine preferences, recommended pairings and took care of us with a level of attention to detail, you would come to expect from a Michelin Star restaurant, with a sincere sense of pride in the quality of the ingredients in every dish prepared and presented in the most inmaculate way. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Los Cabos, definitely a Must !! read more

I had a fantastic experience at Sunset Mona Lisa. The five-course meal was outstanding, and I highly recommend opting for the premium table for an additional $25 per person--it's definitely worth it for the breathtaking view. Shiela and Omar provided exceptional service, making the evening even more memorable. We enjoyed a delectable array of dishes, including the beef tenderloin, scallops, fettuccini, and fish, all of which were cooked to perfection. For dessert, we tried the cookies and cream ice cream and lemon pie, both of which were delicious. The tiramisu, however, didn't quite meet the same standard. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Horrible and disgusting food! This was our favorite spot in Cabo until New Year's eve. On Dec 31st of 2016, they they a six course dinner menu. It was below average. I could have fixed better dishes than their chef. The lamb was very bad that we literally spit it out back onto our plates. The fish was OK. Nothing was to die for. McDonald's would have probably been a better option for us. The desserts were bad as well. The service was very good, however. But the food was just NASTY. We paid over $450 for a dinner for two (tip and drinks included). Very disappointed. Ruined our New Year's Eve for us. read more

Sunset Monalisa offers an incredible view of the sun setting over the ocean, making it a visually stunning dining destination. However, the experience was marred by poor service and mediocre food. The prefixed menu felt overpriced, with dishes that failed to impress. Filets requested medium rare came well done, and the waiter's indifferent response was disappointing. If you're visiting mainly for the view and can overlook the service, price and food quality, it might be worth it. Otherwise, there are far better dining options in Cabo. read more

Had dinner on the deck last night at Mona Lisa , the view is amazing and the service is top notch. Not sure why the staff from the lounge couldn't take us to our table when it was ready , had to go back to the check-in desk , no biggie though. The sunset was beautiful and we had a fantastic table to view it ( not sure there is a bad table in the house ) the food was very good, two of the three dishes we had were very heavy on the garlic in taste and smell . We had a fantastic meal and would go again . read more

We came to Sunset Monalisa for dinner on our honeymoon and had an incredible experience! Our server was very attentive and provided excellent recommendations, wine pairings with our meal, and even a special dessert to celebrate our honeymoon. The food was some of the best we had during our time in Cabo. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful and the atmosphere was great with live music. We had a great time dining here and will be back next time we come to Cabo! read more

Amazing view. We have been there several times. In 2021 we had the seven coarse portions , but we didn't care for it as well. They should go back to there traditional menu. We are back in Cabo this year and we decided we not going there, unless they change their menu back. It was one of our favorite restaurants, until they changed the menu and portions. read more
