   A unique and lovely dining experience. I’d consider it a must-do when visiting Los Cabos.

   We had an Excellant dinner last night. I had lamb shank and my husband and son the beef filet. Drinks were amazing . Good wine list. Fabulous views and service. The music was a standout! Violin before the sun set and then an amazing band!

   Our every need was anticipated from the minute we arrived. We were provided a poncho to ward off the chill as the sun set and a lovely and very unusual drink menu. The food and view are fabulous. Fabulous is an often overworked adjective but it is very appropriate in this case. Couldn’t have been more pleased.

   Sunset Monalisa came highly recommended for its breathtaking views and elevated dining experience, so I was excited to visit during my trip to Cabo. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. Upon arrival, the host informed me that the restaurant was reservations-only and that premium seating required an additional fee. However, I had already secured a reservation easily through OpenTable without any mention of these extra costs. This initial exchange set a sour tone, especially when the host claimed she didn’t know when my table would be ready. For a restaurant of this caliber, I found this to be unprofessional and disappointing, almost like an attempt to upsell customers unnecessarily. To their credit, the manager stepped in after realizing I wasn’t happy and accommodated us properly. While I appreciated this effort, it’s unfortunate that it took the implication of a review to receive adequate service. Now, onto the food. I ordered the Japanese wagyu and the raw oysters, both of which sounded promising but failed to deliver. The wagyu was tender, but the flavor didn’t stand out, and the oysters were just average. For the high price point, I expected to be wowed, but the dishes fell flat. The view may be stunning, but when I’m paying such a premium, I expect the food to match the scenery. The saving grace of the evening was our server, who was attentive, personable, and genuinely committed to making our experience enjoyable. He went above and beyond, which made the night feel slightly less disappointing. Ultimately, Sunset Monalisa feels like a restaurant that relies heavily on its location to justify exorbitant prices. While the views are undeniably gorgeous, there are other restaurants in Cabo offering similar scenery without the steep cost and service hiccups. For me, this was a one-and-done experience. If you go, do so for the sunset, not the dining.

   Beautiful location for a sunset dinner. My husband ordered a steak which came to the table on a little charcoal grill, and he said it was one of the best steaks he’s ever had. I ordered the three course dinner, and had the fennel salad and the short rib, ravioli, and it was delicious. We tried some Mexican wine, which was pretty cool, but not my favorite. I would highly suggest going here if you have a night to spare while in Cabo. It was truly a great experience.

   Well.. not what was expected! We were a party of 5, each person spent about $100! One person ordered the ravioli, and come on, there were only 3!!!!! Another person ordered a 16 oz steak and it was rock hard from the outside. And the presentation was completely horrible for the value of the plate! It was a big piece of steak, not sliced not nothing, not visually appealing AT ALL! & the eyes are the first thing that eats. Now the service, the restaurant wasn’t even packed and we spent a total of 3 hours!!! Our courses were all late, one came out in 14 minutes the other came out in 30 minutes, very inconsistent. The views were amazing!! But not worth coming back for the price! We knew we were gonna spent a buck, but for those portion sizes it was ridiculous. Not even in the nicest restaurant in USA this happens.
