Tepanyaki
Chi P.

I feel mean leaving a bad review for a restaurant inside an all inclusive but I would've liked to know beforehand and probably people will still come. Game here twice, once for the Tepanaki and once for the regular menu. The Tepanaki was OK but the meat was overdone. Luckily it wasn't as super salty as the other hard rock resorts. I didn't eat the dessert because it has banana which I don't like. We came back on another night for the regular menu and it was just awful. The soup was bad, the udon was bad, and even the noodles were bad. I couldn't even figure out what they were trying to do with the flavors. There are in a whole Lotta restaurant choices at this resort but I would say that the buffet is probably your best bet.

Cute restaurant on the resort. It is hard to get reservations I will say. I had the Garden roll sushi and I got to watch the Show. Overall a cute experience. Food was ok.

Don't come here. Not good. Literally go anywhere else you'd be better off. They don't let you take any of the food to go. What a joke.

Gustino - Mushroom Risotto

We love this on site Italian restaurant. Great service…read more Amazing, fresh Italian food. They even celebrate special occasions if you let them know. Great atmosphere.

Each year we enjoy going to Gustino for specifically their mushroom risotto. It comes with a filet…read more This year both of us ordered exactly the same with the filet medium rare. When it was delivered it was WELL DONE. This was sent back and then 2 male waiters came to deliver same steak and tried to "educate" on cutting a steak (against the grain in middle...no sh!t). They wouldn't let us take picture of it. Steak was still WELL DONE and they proceeded to argue (even though no pink at all on 1st and minimal on next). Finally they took back and refired and it was ok (nothing special). Ruined dinner. Roberto (Mgr) came to see how meal was and wanted to argue that the first one really weren't wrong and we just didn't cut them right...(guess how that went over) They brought out a "celebration desert" which we ate a bit and thanked them for it but damage had been done. That will be last time we go there as it's pricey and this experience wasn't good. Learn temperatures of steak and don't send multiple people to argue if kitchen makes a mistake (it was a mistake). The pros: Lemon palate cleansing sorbet and Stephanie (waitress) was good and if it weren't for her, we would've walked away. That is it.

Best TarTar Best Carpaccio best coconut shrimp best shrimp taco BEST Chamorro I've ever had. Ok I admit it was my first time and it was amazing. My family & friends enjoyed the environment with good AC (it's a humid night) & with a stunning view of the lagoon. At night this place transforms itself into a tree house atmosphere with the mangrove growing up through the patio lit up with sparkling lights! It's magical! It's in the hotel zone very hard to find (next to budget & xoxo) so worth the find! Owned by a wonderful family it's a wonderful secluded experience not to be missed! Dress is a nice casual & comfortable both inside and out! Looking to get engaged or have a romantic dinner this might be just the right choice. Check it out if you're in town!

My waiter was pretty good, pretty attentive, but it really wasn't busy at the time I went. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with tartufo, at the time I didn't realize it was mushroom, I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be OK. The sauce is not thick at all.... it's just kind of a buttery half-and-half sauce... so the sauce does not adhere to the noodles. I got one small piece of bread on the side, which actually turned out to be OK since it was pretty warm. The service was good, so it went up to 3, but the pasta dish was not really worth it.

Nebbiolo Ristorante - Beautiful honeymoon table

We stayed at Hotel Secrets The Vine while vacationing in Cancun…read more On our first night, we decided to come here and were quoted a 40-minute wait time. To kill time, we sat at the bar and got a few drinks until our table was ready (which only took about 20-25 minutes). The ambiance inside feels very upscale and our waiter, Juan, was great the entire time and was very attentive. The only time he fell short was when he had forgotten our pizza order which we had to remind him about. Overall, the food was delicious at this all-inclusive resort. Being able to try various dishes made this pit spot at Nebbiolo well worth it. Now onto the food/drinks: - Virgin pina coladas (5/5): Refreshing and so good; I drank two virgin pinas but found that the third was possibly filled with rum. - Complimentary homemade focaccia (3/5): Leaned a bit salty before dipping with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette and freshly grated parmesan. - Complimentary homemade onion croissant bread (5/5): Had a great balance of onion paired with a soft croissant-like texture. - Insalata di Carciofi (4/5): Good "heartiness" from the artichokes and carmelized onions balancing well with the raspberry vinaigrette and gorgonzola cheese. - Fruti di Mare (3/5): The calamari and shrimp were all seasoned the same. The calamari rings and shrimp were a solid 4/5 but the actual calamari strips tasted very salty (2/5) and the texture was very mushy. - Spaghetti de Carbonara (4/5): Perfect amount of pepper to salt ratio from the guanciale. The noodles were cooked to perfection and the serving size was just right. I would've wanted it to be slightly creamier. - Petto Alla Parmigiana (5/5): Crispy outer parmigiana layer filled with chicken and the perfect complement of truffle potato puree. - Pizza Boscaiola (1/5): Overly salty and inedible. The dough was fluffy in some areas but slightly undercooked in others. The toppings were sliding off and it was just hard to eat overall. - Tiramisu tart (2/5): This tart was not really reminiscent of traditional tiramisu in that the base filling was not smooth from the chocolate sable cookie. The saving grace to this dish was the cappuccino ice cream that I dipped into the lady finger cookie crumbs.

Me an my wife had a great dinner here, I got the lasagna, which was out of this world it was very…read moregood one of my best meals here. Afterwords had the pizza which was cooked on the fire oven and that was also amazing. Service was great the waiter Did an amazing job.

A beautiful awesome day amazing people of the world. We are back in Cancun at the beautiful Live…read moreAqua Resort. The lunch sesh has begun and we're going to give their signature Italian Restaurant a proper go at it. Welcome to Verenna Let's get right into it. Shall we. First up is the Bread - Crust is a light and crispy. Olive oil is delicate. Its a great combo. 7/10 2nd on the list is the Spaghetti Amatriciana - Pasta was perfect. The sauce is a bit salty. Accuracy is a little off. Also i found a piece of twig twig in my mouth. 5.2/10 Last but not the least is the Tiramisu - Tasted like it came out of a box. Some of the icing embellishments with the fruit is too sweet as well. Sorry, but it's a 5 for me. The restaurant was nicely laid out with the al fresco motif. The service was pretty good, just a bit lacking on intuitiveness. I had to ask for plates and cutlery when we were on the bread phase. But overall not a big deal. If you ever make it to the Live Aqua resort in cancun, do give this spot a proper go at it and let me know what you think. Hit that follow for more food and travel by yours truly. Share this review with a smash mode buddy as well and thank you so much for reading along. I love you Mwah
