    We ended our trip in Mérida with dinner here and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We shared the ribs for two, and it was beautifully presented and delicious. Our host provided us with a tour after our meal, and service was excellent

    El lugar es FANTÁSTICO, la comida Deliciosa y vale la pena 100% por el precio, nosotros pedimos 1 entrada, 2 platos fuertes, 2 postres y 6 bebidas y la cuenta estuvo dentro de los 3K pesos por persona. Las bebidas no son espectaculares pero tampoco malas. En general la experiencia vale muchísimo la pena y la casa es es espectacular.

    I recently visited Yerba Santa, and I have to admit, the place itself is absolutely stunning. The ambiance is carefully designed, creating a perfect setting for special occasions or even a casual night out. The service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and professional from start to finish. Visually, the dishes were breathtaking. Each plate looked like a piece of art, and it was clear that a lot of creativity and effort went into the presentation. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives ended. The taste of the food was a major disappointment. The flavors didn’t match the visual appeal—dishes were either poorly seasoned, bland, or overly complicated, resulting in an unpleasant dining experience. To make matters worse, the prices were outrageous. For the quality of the food, it felt like an insult to pay such a premium. It’s one thing to splurge on a meal that’s worth it, but in this case, it was far from justified. While the ambiance and service were wonderful, the poor taste of the food and the excessive pricing make it hard to recommend Yerba Santa. I sincerely hope they focus on improving the flavors because there’s so much potential here.

    This restaurant gives you the opportunity to experience gourmet dishes while experiencing dining in an early XX century mansion. Cocktails are fantastic and the Kraken has been one of the best octopus I have ever tried. Service was delightful, we even got a tour of the mansion with someone guiding us

    This is high end cuisine; the dishes are really creative, and the ambiance is great. Our appetizers were all excellent, flautas de cochito, taco de cola and the mushroom soup, but the duck in mole zoque came out cold and had to be returned to the kitchen, plus the lomito de buey was just lukewarm and a tad chewy. Our server apologized profusely and did his best to make up for the mishaps. The wine list is expensive, but our server recommended a wine in promotion which was pretty good and rightly priced. We will be back next time we are in Merida

    Muy buen servicio, tal vez las porciones chicas tomando el precio, pero sirven igual que cualquier otro restaurante de esta categoría. Nos atendieron muy bien y nos invitaron a conocer el mirador.
