In the past this place has always been a staple for us, but each year we go we like it a little less. This year majority of the group was disappointed in the entire experience from the service to the food. To start, the service was lacking compared to what we get at other local restaurants nearby. Our servers did not frequently come back to ask if we needed anything and we were constantly having to ask to get our waters refilled. The drinks are good, but nothing we can't get elsewhere. Half of our group enjoyed (but not loved) their food and half did not enjoy. My SO and I split the al pastor meal. In the past we have loved this, but this time it felt like they rushed to make it and the flavors we remembered just weren't there. It was still good, but I think it could have been better. I do love the churro cart here, but you can get good churros several other places. Overall, this place has gone downhill in our opinion, and for the price it isn't worth it when there so many better options close by. I'm sure we will be back, but I think we might skip a year stopping here.

Checkin was smooth and easy, bus ride great, a 5 minute walk to the boat to an unforgettable evening. It is a tight fit as we all sat closely around the table in the middle of the boat.

After dinner, we got off the boat for a 10 minute restroom break before continuing down the river. Very well organized!!! It was a party all night long! Food was incredible! Service and hosts were top notch. Organization of the evening made it go by so fast. About 3 hours were spent on the boat eating, chatting, dancing or playing games. Would do this again in a heartbeat. Wonderful evening!!!

CoCoBoNgO! This place is insane. They're still caught up on…read moremovies from the 90's, before many of the patrons of this bar were even born. This is wild- it's part disco, part dance club, part show. They play loud, loud music, and every third or fourth song or so, every 15-20 minutes, they do a show- someone comes in dressed as The Mask, or Beetlejuice, or Captain Jack Sparrow, and they do a musical dance number and everyone goes insane. It's open bar. But all the drinks are pretty bad. The beer- Tecate Light poured from caguamas. I'd never heard of the rotgut tequila. You apparently have the option to get a bottle and a table for a few thousand pesos. Party next door for warmup at the Oxxo or Senior Frog's. The staff were all friendly, and acted like they loved their job, and had seen it all. My favorite thing was that the urinals were in the shape of mouths. The decor is amazing. The shows were fantastic. I had an amazing time. I can't wait to go back! I've never paid a cover this high, but the costumes, the cleanliness, the professional friendly staff, everything felt safe, even though there was massive amounts of booze being consumed.

Overall, this was a very disappointing and concerning experience…read more Despite having a reservation, the evening began with poor organization and an extended wait to be seated. Once inside, we encountered further issues, including bartenders attempting to charge us for drinks that were clearly included in the package, which felt misleading and unprofessional. More troubling, however, was the lack of safety and staff responsiveness. My sister was repeatedly harassed by another guest, who persistently kicked her seat and attempted to provoke a confrontation. Despite this ongoing behavior, no staff intervention occurred. The situation escalated when the individual poured a cocktail on my sister--only at that point did security step in. This delayed response created an uncomfortable and unsafe environment, which is unacceptable for any venue, especially one offering a paid experience. Guests should never feel at risk or unsupported in such situations. To add to the frustration, our return transportation was also delayed, as the driver arrived late. Overall, the combination of disorganization, questionable practices, and lack of adequate security made this a highly unpleasant experience. I would not recommend this venue based on our visit.

Yes, it may cost a little bit more, but it is totally worth every penny! The staff was super friendly and helpful with my mother, who was unable to walk long distances.

Once we stepped onto the deck overlooking the lagoon, the whole experience elevated even further. The scenery was stunning, soft lights reflecting off the water, a gentle breeze, and live music drifting through the air like the perfect soundtrack to an already unforgettable night. Then came the food, each dish was its own little masterpiece. The bread service alone set the tone: warm, golden rolls with just the right touch off salt. The wedge salad followed. It was crisp, cold, and generously dressed, with smoky bacon and bright tomatoes adding all the right contrasts. The dry-aged steak was the star of the table, cooked perfectly with that deep, rich flavor only dry-aging can create. The roasted peppers and silky sauce on the side made every bite feel intentional. The octopus was another standout, tender, beautifully charred, and plated with a vibrant puree that balanced the dish with a touch of sweetness. One of the best plates we had. The table got more entrees since there were 8 of us but didn't get pictures. Sea brass was another favorite. Even the lobster soup arrived with flair: a velvety bowl paired with a seafood-topped toast that brought texture and richness together in one elegant bite. The beef tartare with fries was classic and fresh, refined without losing its fun. Dessert turned into a full performance. The liquid-nitrogen ice cream came with swirling clouds of cold vapor, dramatic and delicious. The birthday cake arrived crowned with berries and a sparkling candle that lit up the whole table. And just when we thought the night couldn't get any more whimsical, out came the towering blue cotton candy, playful, over-the-top, and impossible not to smile at. Harry's doesn't just serve dinner. It creates an experience, one where the service, the scenery, the atmosphere, and the food all work together to make you feel celebrated. Our night felt luxurious, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable for my husband's 50th birthday! Well done Harry's!

Each move they make is with exquisite care. The level of service is one that would be tough to match. We first received some bread and an amouse bouche (watermelon with goat cheese). Both were nice little tastes to start the evening. For appetizers, we chose both the Caesar salad and Corn Soup. They were both very good dishes, with the corn soup being a HUGE standout. It was a unique concoction that oozed with flavor. A must order! For mains, we had the NY Strip and Sea Bass. The strip was a solid steak, but not the best in town. That honor would go to Harry's. However, both dishes were still very solid 4/5 star achievers. The sea bass was a nice salty dish that was unlike any other variation of it that I've had. The service here is superb, they have live jazz music at times, and you really can't go wrong with anything that you order! This may be my top choice in Cancun as of this writing for its all around dining experience.

If I had to use one word to describe last night's experience at Club Grill, it would be "magical."…read more I had planned a special birthday dinner to celebrate my dear friend Tina's birthday (& our 12+ years of friendship) and had put in a memo beforehand for the restaurant to do something special for her, and boy did they deliver ! When we arrived, we were greeted with FABULOUS music (their pianist is magnificent) and escorted to a special table for us. It was more than either of us could have expected: rose petals, fabulous place settings, and when we received the menus, we opened them to see, on the left side, Tina's special menu slip/greeting that read: "Happy Birthday, Dr. Tina" (nice touch). The meal itself was delectable! We were presented with a delicious lobster amuse bouche and we ordered a beef tartare to share. I have been eating less red meat lately, however if you're going to eat red meat, eat it here. The quality of the beef tartare was amazing and beautifully presented (as every other dish we ordered). For the second course, I ordered the corn soup. Best corn soup hands down! The flavor was out of this world. For our entrees, I had the duck (staple of the restaurant for 20 years) and Tina ordered the sea bass. My duck was soooo good and I tasted her sea bass which was very flavorful. For dessert, we had ordered (at beginning of meal) a chocolate soufflé which came out hot and delicious (and tasty but not too sweet, which I also appreciate). Then after our soufflé, they delivered a special additional chocolate cake with candle and 'Happy Birthday Dr. Tina' writing on plate, while they sang to us/Tina. It was very cute and sweet. I can honestly say, this experience was a dream: from the synchronized delivery of food/presenting of dishes from the wait staff (literally felt like I was in a 007 ritzy scene with the service), thoughtful touches, delectable cuisine, exceptional jazz music, warmth of staff and great service. I would give this restaurant 10 stars if I could. Classy place and extremely well run. Hats off to the manager and chef (they both came up at beginning and end of meal to speak with us and thank us for coming which was very nice) and our amazing server Oscar (he was so kind and truly the best!! 10s across the board on service!!). Everyone at Club Grill made the night so special and magical and this truly put a smile on both of our faces! I admit, I am used to experiencing top quality/very nice places, but even this place truly impressed me, and that says a lot. Can't wait to come back to Club Grill at the Ritz, next time I'm in Cancun. Thanks again to Oscar, the manager, chef and team/staff at Club Grill. You truly made this night special for us and you rock!! Lesley Hunter
