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.

    Really cool place that I would highly recommend trying at least once. The food was ok and very overpriced in my opinion. Enjoyed our time there but the high prices would keep me from going back. We had the octopus, ceviche, and shrimp for apps. We shared a surf & turf (filet & lobster). Food was a bit bland.

    We are from Canada and chose this spot to celebrate the birthday of a local friend. It’s a very slow pace to get your drinks initially but food comes out hot and well plated, shortly after the appetizers. Everything was delicious and the staff very professional. Incredible venue although humid and warm there are fans running - plan your dress to be cool! Desserts did not disappoint.

    The restaurant and service were great until they realized I wasn’t going to order a tomahawk steak or spend lots of money. The service was then very slow.

    Fue el cumpleaños de mi novio y todo estuvo excelente. Solo que te incentivan a tener una propina alta y debería ser lo que el cliente quiere aportar.

    Ambience was 10 out of 10. The Service people were nice and try and friendly . had a 7:30 pm reservation and also hired a photographer which they arranged I came a half an hour early but the photographer was not there yet . The photographer came just before my food was being brought to me so I had to leave my food to take the pictures which then just sat there and got a little cold even though they provided a little charcoal stove. It just wasn’t seamless for the price tag . but food and ambience was excellent. Had the tomahawk steak and charcoal oysters, and the bone marrow .
