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.

    Wonderful meal, unusual setting elegantly designed. Every course was explained to us and our waitress was attentive but not overly so. Will definitely return

    Gorgeous place! It took 1.5 hours to get a drink, salad and bread. 40 minutes to get second drink. We paid for the special service but had to go looking for servers. Food arrived cold, overcooked and toughest filet I have ever had. Took 25 minutes to get the check. Wayyy over priced. Many better places to go.

    Over priced. Food was good but extremely small portions for what you pay for. Also smelled like a closed off space and humidity. Not impressed.

    We had an amazing dinner. Juan Pablo was the best server I’ve encountered in a very long time. So attentive and just genuinely nice. He even gave us a little tour through the cenote and took some pictures of us.

    Amazing atmosphere! Have never been to anything like this. The cocktails are amazing. The food was different and pretty good.i felt they were a bit understaffed, but they did the best they could with the amount of ppl that were dining. Will definitely return for the great atmosphere and cocktails.
