Kahal Restaurant at Mas Olas — Restaurant in Baja California Sur

Dining with acclaimed Italian Chef Sandro Falbo (who hails from Rome via Cabo San Lucas where he was executive chef at The One & Only Palmilla, along with stints at many other luxury and Michellin-starred restaurants around the world) is truly an experience not to be missed!

We have dined here twice, once on a date night just after they opened, and again last night with our 3 teenage boys. So I wanted to write a review while the experience was still fresh in our minds!

First off, the setting of this restaurant is as gorgeous as it gets. Situated beachfront on a long expanse of white sand and crashing waves, you’ll probably see whales cavorting in the distance. I suggest that you try and arrive before sunset for a real treat. The open air dining room is designed with reflection pools and mood lighting that shimmers like the inside of a seashell.

The service is friendly and attentive, and chef Sandro often comes out of the kitchen to make his rounds of the tables and say hello. Which brings me to the food! The dishes are inventive, elevated, farm to table, ingredient driven, seasonal, and delicious - which is just about all you can ask for in a meal. The chef draws on the vast organic vegetable and herb gardens that he grows onsite, as well as local produce and the daily catch from the local fishermen. It just doesn’t get any fresher.

While Kahal is billed as a seafood restaurant (at which it excels) my husband has tried both the chicken and the steak entrees and he loved them both. My catch-of-the-day seabass dinner last night was delicious to the last bite, and the savory watermelon salad with olive tapenade was a surprising combo that absolutely worked! I would happily order both of these dishes again. My 16 year old said that the tuna carpaccio appetizer topped with truffle was hands down the best thing he’d ever tasted :) The dessert and cocktail menu is just as inventive and flavorful, and everything is presented so artfully, without being the least bit fussy or pretentious.

Needless to say, we love this new restaurant and we look forward to bringing more of our friends here to experience it with us! (And I NEED to eventually trying everything on this...

Not sure words will capture how absolutely magical dining at kahal is!!! So, where to start…

I guess before I even get into the dining experience itself, I’ll share that I had a chance to tour the rancho farms to see exactly where all the fresh produce for our meal came from. So impressed by the care to bring quality that Chef Sandro & the rancho team show. Before even taking one bite of anything I knew it was going to be spectacular.

We decided to try the sunday seafood brunch & wow, was it amazing. A medley of incredible, fresh, and well thought out dishes that were clearly inspired by baja & elevated to a new level. Highly recommend.

It was actually so good we had to come back for dinner and see what else Chef Sandro had up his sleeve. And another WOWOW, because he outdid himself. I got the seafood pasta and love, love, loved it. Also the nigiri with the fresh catch was unreal. And the kale salad - bravo. Have never been a huge kale fan, but that was special.

And beyond the food, the atmosphere can’t be topped by any other place in baja. The decor is gorgeous, the wind chimes blowing in the breeze launched me into a meditative state, and the views are indescribable. Spotted whales during brunch & caught the most stunning sunset for dinner.

Again, HIGHLY highly recommend. It’s...
