Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: This hidden gem in a millennia-old cavern brings you a magical and unique culinary experience. Beneath the stalactites, the restaurant features a high-end menu based on sustainable fishing and Caribbean dishes. Among the highlights is a golden tomahawk steak covered in 24-karat gold leaves. The romantically lit interiors invite you to relax while sipping mezcal or tequila cocktails. Complete your visit with a tasting of three mezcals from the Montelobos house.

    Muy buen lugar, ideal para una cena romántica o con amigos. Es un lugar para platicar ya que no es muy ruidoso. Cuenta con mesas privadas en cuevas. La comida está ok, pero sube mucho los precios, precio-calidad 2.5/5. La jarra de clericot está en $2.2k porque ellos escogen el vino y te dan uno caro. La hamburguesa en $580 y no es la mejor. La propina no la incluye pero al momento de pagar y te piden agregar propina, el mesero desde un inicio sugiere 15% o 20%.

    Pros: - Food and service were really great. - Fantastic atmosphere and beautiful caves - It's so authentic that there will be real bats flying around, incredible! Cons: - The prices are quite high, be prepared. - I would say that the choice of side dishes should also be wider

    It was my 60th birthday and 10 year wedding anniversary. We were treated like royalty. They also provided extras for our occasion. Serving personnel spoke English and were very friendly. Atmosphere was fantastic, food was very good. We spent an extra half an hour walking around through the cavern.
