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.

    We had an awesome time at Alux. We dined in one of the VIP rooms and it was lovely. We had a saxophonist play the most lovely music while we dined on the most exquisite meal. We ordered a variety of appetizers and a variety of main courses. All of the food was prepared to perfection and all of the food was extremely delicious. We ordered a variety of cocktails and when they were delivered to the table the care they with preparing the ones that were table side was theatrical. Our waiter was Magdiel and he made us feel like family. The customer service he provided was top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant and ask for Magdiel as he will take excellent care of you.

    Ambiance was great. Some of the food was really good - enjoyed our cocktails and the salmon was delicious. My husband got the New York and said it tasted low quality. It did kind of look like something you’d get at a diner. Our server seemed very nice but we couldn’t understand a word she said between the music and quiet tone of her voice. Overall was a good experience.

    The caves are incredible !! Be advised that when you are seated and they pour your water that you will be charged for the water at the end for every bottle. ( not sparkling water just regular water)

    Although this is a very unique location for dinner and servers were pleasant & engaging the food was actually hit and miss. We had tp sit under a big AC unit with fan blowing next to our table so somewhat annoying. Also ordered a smoked old fashion while the presentation was quite cool the drink it's self was extremely watered down without a hint of bourbon in the drink. So all in all I would not recommend this restaurant for anything other than the uniqueness factor.
