    Lemon drop
    Dave B.

    The atmosphere is just wow. I love it all. The chips and beans are really good The food in not the greatest. But the atmosphere is on point. Our tomahawk was so chewy. That we could not eat it. I didn't say anything because I knife the need the money. The sides didn't taste the best. But the wine and the lemon drop were so good. The waiter was great and took care of us.

    We really enjoyed eating here. We came before the dinner crowd around 3 and their were lots of families with kids. A chips and salsa sampler with beans and cheese was given to us right away and we each ordered tacos. They had a lot of flavor and home made tortillas. We also ordered some delicious fancy drinks. They also gave us a small ice cream cone for dessert on the house. When we were leaving we realized they have a kids club upstairs in case you want to have a romantic adult dinner! Highly recommend

    Food was absolutely spectacular beyond delicious 10 out of 10!! We started with calamari "Chicharon el Pulp" appetizers, which were so tender and delicious. we received a yummy bean cheese dip with round tostadas along with four different salsas which was out of this world. The "Brisket Para Taqueara" cooked for over 12 hours accompanied with guacamole and homemade tortillas , it was out of this world, the brisket melts in your mouth, so incredibly tender and very flavorful. It came in a hot cast iron. Rib Eye Stake it's a must have, so juicy and tender very flavorful. "Espagueti Con Costillas Suave" OMG if your a pasta lover this I highly recommend this choice you will not be disappointed. The short ribs in this dish is amazing. For dessert we ordered the "Trufa De Chocolate" we are chocolate lovers so this was definitely our choice. Enough to share for party of four. Now let's talk about the service it was beyond excellent !! The servers do not miss a beat. Service is high end. Everyone is very nice you will be very impressed. The ambience as you walk in you know you're in for a treat . It is very elegant beautiful exquisite with a beautiful touch of class and elegance. Let's not forget the bartender Roman WOW!!! thank you for the Show in preparing our exquisite most delicious cocktails. We will definitely come back specifically to see you and well, of course the most delicious food Service and I'll ambience. see you on our next trip to Cancun.

    A impromptu stop turned into a lovely dinner celebrating with friends. The food was amazing and the restaurant ambiance was special but not too fancy. We had a range of appetizers (cauliflower, bone broth soup, asparagus wrapped, braised brisket) that were all phenomenal. Entrees were equally tasty (steak, grilled squid, salmon). We topped the evening off with dessert from the restaurant celebrating that was s'mores on a plate that was to die for. A must stop in Cancun. Only issue we were a bit tired as it was late and didn't account for the time in the longer courses of appetizers to desserts. Staff continually checked on us and over the courses from bean/queso dip to desserts we were full and happy. Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5

    Can we give a round of applause to the welcome curated platters bowls, and silverware.

    We entered and thought it would be underwhelming. We were very wrong. What an excellent restaurant from the Service to the Dj and the excellent food. Everything about this place is top-notch. Highly recommend don't miss out. we will return.

    You're gonna want to dress up for this! Okay so my family has been talking non stop about how good this place is (but the one in Puerto Vallarta) so I was really looking forward to trying this place. Service was a little slow, be patient. I thought it was worth it! Ambiance is relaxing yet inspiring with the music videos playing in the background.We ordered a few appetizers, one of them being the cauliflower, and also calamari. Centro Ribeye was our main course, medium rare. But hey, if you're sharing (which you might want to) you can cook it a little longer on the stone it's served on (I personally did...). Once you're done with dinner, they'll come out and show you a variety of different dessert options. We chose the guava dessert. Let me tell ya... it's the best dessert I've ever had in my life. Once all the food is gone, you get a little treat on the house! A yummy little ice cream served on a crunchy waffle cone.

    Dessert, apple crisp, (just OK)

    Food, service, and ambiance were over the top. Best meal in Cancun. Waiter had suggestions that worked. We went with the center cut rib eye. Brought some home. Cauliflower is a must and all was perfect. Manager Luiz, came over to ask about our dinner. The place was full at all times but no wait to be seated. This steakhouse is a must and an experience. Valentine's day dinner.

    Complimentary starter Refried beans with 3 cheeses, 4 side sauces and chips.

    Late lunch today with my hubby. The food was very good for us and service was pleasant. I had the roasted half chicken and grilled vegetables which came out on a hot stone. My hubby had the Sanchez burger. The brought a complimentary refried beans with 3 cheeses and it came with 4 different sauces. You need to walk to the back of La Isla and go upstairs to find this restaurant but it is worth the trip.

    You just cannot beat the hospitality and service in Mexico. I admit to being a spoiled American and like great service and well-timed courses. Upon entry into this beautiful restaurant, we were greeted by welcoming staff and taken to a lovely table with a bit of a view of the lagoon. Septien was our waiter and he knew the menu well, was cheerful, professional and unpretentious. I love when waiters have fun with their guests, crack little jokes and try to make your experience the best possible. Septien epitomizes what I consider classic Mexican hospitality. My fish and wilted spinach was absolutely perfect. I've actually never had spinach prepared like this - wilted, yes, but the flavoring, no. Wish they did the same in the States. The only thing they do with spinach in the US is sauté it in garlic which I absolutely hate. Drinks were great. My partner's had a very dramatic presentation. Overall, just a wonderful experience in a lovely restaurant. Highly recommend.

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.

It's huge, as far as presentation it's not very fancy, it was tasty but as large as it was you'd think it had more alcohol to offset the size. But it did not. My wife ordered the aguachile with octopus. I ordered the Tuna Burger, and we got the steak quesadillas as an appetizer. My wife said she would give her aguachile a 3.8 out of 5. I thought the tuna burger was very tasty. Basically they took a tuna steak and put it between a hamburger bun. I can't really compare it to a regular meat burger. But on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 7. It came only with lettuce and tomato, but it had flavor enough. The quesadilla's were good, but nothing special, I'd say they were comparable to any you get at an average Mexican restaurant in the states. We came here because of the high ratings. Maybe we ordered the wrong things to try, I thought everything was good, but nothing that was so good it made me want to hurry back.

Many of the dishes have strange ingredients that the regular gringo hasn't heard of, which makes this even more exotic! I consider myself a mexican food expert, to some degree, and they're serving dishes that are so inventive, so wild, so fresh, so delicious! The dining area is split between a covered outside area, and seating on the grass overlooking the lagoon. Be careful, there's alligators in there! The service was fantastic- the waiter was patient, spoke English, and made excellent recommendations. I got fish with peppers, octopus ceviche, and some mezcal, followed by a honey and anise Mayan drink. All of which were delicious! My dining companion had a strange pepper with some fish- also nom! Coming here was like a history cuisine lesson, mixed with delicious food, wonderful scenery and a pleasant meal! My favorite part of this place is the artwork when you come in. They've got a Mayan god in a cenote at the doorway that just is amazing!

We had been walking in the area earlier that day and made a plan to come back for dinner. When we arrived there were a lot of people but we were seated immediately. Martin was our waiter and he was great. There were a few large screen TVs playing sports. There was live music. A lot was going on but it really worked. People were enjoying themselves and the wait staff was friendly and talkative. I ordered shrimp fajitas and my husband ordered the mole. He always orders mole. The meals were very good. We ordered a mango margarita and Tecate. The margarita came with a tehine rim. I just wiped it off. That is becoming so popular. I decided to indulge in the banana dessert and I am glad I did. It came with a show. That was fun and the dessert was delicious. We were there earlier in the evening and we saw many couples and families. I'm sure the place gets a little more livelier as the night goes on. If you are in the area, this is a good place to eat and enjoy your time in Cancun.
