Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: This hidden gem in a millennia-old cavern brings you a magical and unique culinary experience. Beneath the stalactites, the restaurant features a high-end menu based on sustainable fishing and Caribbean dishes. Among the highlights is a golden tomahawk steak covered in 24-karat gold leaves. The romantically lit interiors invite you to relax while sipping mezcal or tequila cocktails. Complete your visit with a tasting of three mezcals from the Montelobos house.

    I went for the deer dish, which i have had before, it was amazing, now they changed it and the menu still has the old way, and the new serving is nothing like it and i did not like it which kind of ruined it for me. Everything else was ok, flavors are plain but the place is a gorgeous experience. The octopus was really good. Oysters are small and only come with 6.

    This local delight is worth the price! Erick did an excellent job making sure we had a wonderful experience and encouraged us to explore the caves. It’s a rewarding adventure for those willing to leave the table. Our surf and turf dinner exceeded expectations with some fantastic sides and excellent steak. The best, however, was the unexpected joy of dessert. This goat cheese mouse delight was paired with a flaming vodka sauce and covered in a dark chocolate shell. My husband and I prefer less sweet chocolate and this perfectly fit the bill. Highly recommend this once in a lifetime experience!

    The place is visually stunning, but the food is, to put it mildly, very disappointing. It’s just not worth it. You’re better off going there for drinks and skipping dinner altogether. The ambiance and decor are truly beautiful, but the food is mediocre at best. On top of that, they don’t offer any vegetarian or vegan options.

    I had booked this restaurant in advance as I really wanted to try it. The place is absolutely stunning, the dry cenote is magical. However the food is quite expensive (as expected), but the food is not good at all. Go there for a drink instead 😊 I paid $250 AUD for 2 meals and 2 drinks.

    Good food and service - cool atmosphere. A little warm, but you are in a cave. For the price, would have expected better liquor wine - selections (Sailor Jerry instead of Captain Morgan, no Chardonnay by the glass, mediocre bourbon selection.) That said, glad we went - good food and unique experience.

    The location is beautiful. The advertised menu on open table is not the menu available or the location. They have 6 started, 6 mains and 3 desserts. Wine list is way over priced cocktail list has a very small selection and way over priced. £20 per cocktail. The only saving grace was the starters were amazing. If you have to go. Order the octopus and raw shrimp, enjoy pay and then go somewhere else!
