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.

    Very unique and beautiful ambiance. Food was excellent but overpriced. Not sure I would go again because of that, but for a special occasion it is worth it.

    Daniel and Guillermo were fantastic servers. Attentive and respectful. The food wasn’t up to par. The pork belly was dry which was very disappointing as it had a gorgeous presentation. The snapper was delicious and I would recommend that dish. The bananas foster didn’t include real ice cream. It was like a sherbet when it should have been creamy vanilla ice cream. The house made sourdough was heavy and didn’t have good flavor and the grasshopper on the butter was very odd. All in all disappointing for the price you pay. The cave is incredible and you come for the unique experience of dining in such an unusual location.
