I went for the 1st time one month ago, it was not a good experience at all. I took the rice with shrimp and squid ink. This dish as nothing special, no much flavor. But the portion is good for one person, but they tried to up sell a starter so they made me think that was a small portion. The portion is plenty enough for a man of 28 years old that needs to eat good portion. When they charge you, you ask for 15% for the tips, the blond lady smile , and charge you 20% ! (More the % they add because you pay in credit card). I live in Mexico for a year, I understand Tulum is a expensive city to live, but the price match also the life style, so I believe a 15% tips was more than enough for the circumstances of the place and quality of service. After a month , I decided to give them a second chance , because I work in the industry, and order one of they “specialty”. I order the rib eye “a la brasa”. The meat is good, the seasoning not a my taste but cannot say it s bad. Bad point : how cannot you have a decent red wine by the glass when you specialize in good meat.

Loved the music and the vibe of this restaurant!! Amazing ambiance!

The candle lights at each dinner table really set the tone for an elegant and sophisticated dinner experience. They even had candles in the bathroom with scent diffusers.

The waiter was top notch! I’ve been in Mexico for 3 weeks and he was the best waiter I have experienced. Customer service, etiquette, manners, communication, and attentiveness was unmatched!

The cocktails, wow! They have the best drinks I’ve experienced in town. They are complex, full of character and yet blended so well. I tried the two tequila based cocktails listed on the menu and they were both amazing.

Food however was an issue for me. Perhaps, it was because I ordered a burger and the restaurant is more elevated.

My burger was undercooked and as a result, the juices soaked the buns causing it to be soggy.

The waiter profusely apologized and sent it back. When it came back, it was so dry! It was over cooked.

I didn’t complain; I ate it because I didn’t want to create another issue.

Overall, great place! I recommend stopping by for a cute dinner date! Or as a treat to yourself. But maybe don’t get the burger.

Dinner for me alone was 800 pesos (or $65 Canadian dollars). They...
