   Crazy good - our best meal in Cabo Based on a friend's recommendation, we chose Kitchen for our last dinner in Cabo and were simply blown away. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all spot on. We knew things were likely to go well when the age (and name) of the sourdough mother was posted and indeed the bread brought warm to our table did not disappoint. From there we continued with fries cooked in a mix of beef and pork tallow, crispy shrimp and jalapenos, beef tartar, and the first course of the Experience...all of which were stupendous. The charcoal grilled sea bass was by far the best seafood we had over the week and the same was true for the kitchen steak. Meanwhile, my daughter continued to love every bit of the Experience she was served. Just amazing all around. If I were to find fault with anything that evening it would be that the drinks skewed sweet. I had the flight and while they all were tasty I felt they were all a bit out of balance (except the dessert coffee cocktail at the end which was both delicious and supposed to be sweet). Only my wife's Playboy had that perfect balance of sweet, tart, spice, and fire. On the other hand, the french press coffee was really, really good and the perfect accompaniment to my daughter's desert. The service from Danny was exemplary and we very much appreciated that just one of us could order the tsunami of food that was the Experience and that the kitchen and servers staged it to match the rest of our app + entree meals. And the atmosphere was beyond charming as dusk turned to night and the lights, foliage, and 'ruin' around us made us feel magically transported to another world. Amazingly enough (and I probably shouldn't let the restaurant know), all of this came at a pleasantly reasonable price. I cannot recommend this restaurant strongly enough.

   Great ambiance, exceptional food and beverages, and excellent service. This is one of a small number of truly exceptional restaurants in the Cabo San Lucas/San Jose del Cabo area.

   Great food, excellent service and really nice people. And the house made cocktails are not to be missed. Just a great place for a nice evening.

   Incredible service, great knowledge of the food offered. Delicious dishes… the only dish that was not outstanding was the beef tallow fries.

   Beautiful setting with attentive servers. Great food though at 8 PM they were already out of mussels and clams. We were all sad to see no real veggie options or salads. Drinks came quickly but had to keep asking for water. Appetizers were delicious - table especially loved the sirloin croquettes, beets, and bread service. But then waited about 45 minutes for our mains. Everyone liked their dishes but with the exception of the seafood risotto, which felt more like a rice dish with shrimp, in the style of a soupy jambalaya. Maybe the kitchen didn’t have time to develop the starch, or maybe this is the local take. The flavor was good but definitely not an Italian risotto. The beef tartar was probably the most loved by the one who ordered it.

    Pricing was incredible for the level of food. We all did the tasting menu. Portions were perfect (big!!) and everything was tasty. Drinks were on point. Service was great too
