Food was delicious service was incredible and the views are amazing. Please try when in Cabo

Great experience with Manuel and Irving at the bar, masters of cocktails, made with care and excellence! Great view too! Thank you!

AMAZING! My favorite and most memorable dining experience in Cabo. The setting is beautiful and super picturesque. They had live music and even fireworks! The service was friendly and the prix-fixe dinner setup was super clear. We started with the tomato mozzarella salad and it was beyond delicious. Then I got the oysters. They weren't my favorite, but probably just because I'm more use to US East coast oysters. For the entree I got the spaghetti with iberico and parmigiano and I dream about that pasta. For dessert I went with the moka parfait and it was the perfectly creamy/chocolatey dessert. Honestly, worth every penny! Highly recommend going here while in Cabo.

We were drawn to Sunset Monalisa because of the incredible views. And we were bit disappointed! With a 5pm reservation, we got to experience a beautiful view of the arch of Cabo before admiring the gorgeous sunset, which was signaled by the servers blowing into conch shells. The food was good but it wasn't the main draw. I opted for the six-course tasting menu and I fared better than my husband who decided to order a la carte. They were kind enough to let me substitute course one due to dietary restrictions. I had an heirloom salad, truffle fettuccine, seared totoaba, confit duck, filete tenderloin, and coconut sorbet. The highlight of the meal was the truffle fettuccine. The pasta was al dente and the dish was full of cheese and butter. Delicious! The least successful dish was the fish. It was my first time having totoaba and I found it to be significantly lacking flavor. My husband had the 14 oz tenderloin filet, which came with two sides. He got mashed sweet potato, which looked unappetizing, and roasted vegetables. The steak was good but the sides were not. If you're looking for a really amazing view at an oceanside open air restaurant in Cabo, this is it. The food is good but not great, service is ok but a little slow, and it's expensive but you're paying for the view.

A Must-Do Experience in Cabo - Views, Food, and Memories! If you're ever in Cabo San Lucas, this is one experience you absolutely cannot miss - trust me, it's worth trying at least once in your life. While most resorts in Cabo are all-inclusive and offer great experiences, this place is in a league of its own. In Mexico, you typically expect to dine at places that are more affordable than those in the U.S. -- but this spot is an exception, and it's for a very good reason. Located on the side of a jagged cliff, the views here are nothing short of breathtaking. Seriously, it's like dining on the edge of the world. Be sure to make a reservation about an hour before sunset so you can fully enjoy the magical view as the sun goes down. The food? Really good. Not mind-blowing, but it's the overall experience that earns this place a solid 10/10. While I can't exactly remember what we ate (I was too distracted by the view!), I do know everything was incredibly tasty. The portions are on the smaller side, and yes, it's a bit pricey -- but you're not just paying for the food; you're paying for the unforgettable experience. As a sweet touch, we mentioned we were celebrating our pregnancy news, and the staff surprised us with a special baby moon dessert -- such a thoughtful gesture! If you're in Cabo and you can swing the $500-$600 for a party of two, this is definitely worth checking out. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will leave you with unforgettable memories and a story to tell.

The ambiance is super nice. We had reservations around the time the sun was setting however we arrived late so we missed the sunset. I understand it's a night time restaurant but it would be nice to have better lighting. I'm just a person that like to see their food. We paid extra to sit by the water which was nice. They also did fireworks which was nice as well. We did the different courses which is not usual but it was a decent experience. Some of like some I did not. Bathroom could've been better, there was no soap no water. Very nice restaurant to try. I Prob wouldn't try it again though.

I didn't have enough phone service to post this through the link at our table. We were there on Friday (11/15), a party of 3, seated at 5:15. This was truly a memorable evening! The 7-course dinner was fantastic and it was accompanied by live music and fireworks in addition to a beach-front view of the arch and sunset. The octopus, steak, and coconut sorbet were my favorites. Edgar and Luis were our servers. They were very responsive despite several private celebrations going on during our meal. It was sweet when they brought out Mexican shoulder wraps for our comfort as the evening progressed. The photographer was also excellent!

Disclosure; I stopped here during a cruise excursion and did not eat here. Instead, my husband and I enjoyed a cold beverage and the views. The views by the way, are amazing. I can imagine the sunset here would be beautiful. Especially viewing the arches from a distance.

This is my husband and I's first time in Cabo, and we were celebrating our honeymoon/second wedding anniversary. I made the reservation online a month in advance. I paid $50 for premium seating to reserve our table. I learned that $50 is for the table and does not go toward your meal. The view from this restaurant is amazing. It's definitely one of the prettiest restaurants I've been to, and the view is simply breathtaking. Once you walk in and get seated, you kind of forget about everything else around you. My husband and I chose the five-course meal, and it was honestly perfect for us--we were starving when we walked in! We intended on doing the course meals, but I don't think I could've eaten food, so five was perfect. When I made the reservation, I told him I wanted to do the course meal, but when we got there, they were for no charge. They gave us a plate that said happy honeymoon with delicious chocolate nutty desserts. They definitely care about every customer that comes in and strive to provide the best customer service. In Cabo, most places offer bottled water, so this place did as well. I did notice when I asked for a refill when we were getting ready to leave. I only wanted a glass, and I didn't want them to waste a whole bottle on me, but I don't think they really cared about that; they just poured me a glass anyway. Their drink items are perfect. We were going to do a drink pairing with each course, but again, the portions of each course were pretty big, so I'm glad we didn't have more alcohol because I would've probably not eaten as much as I did. All in all, it's such a good restaurant, and the views are amazing. I definitely recommend it. I was at an all-inclusive resort, and going outside of my resort for this restaurant was definitely worth it! They do have special tables and photographers there (although I think they charge for the pictures, so we declined that service). It's also a good spot to have dinners with family. I don't know if I would consider it kid-friendly, but it was a nice, peaceful place to eat. also, something to note they do have a live band. And at one point, the servers blew in this conch shell thing. It was pretty cool to watch. For my people with bags or purses, they have a rack for your purse to hang on.
