Kahal was a surprising hidden gem we tried for the first time. Staying in the area many times, we never went there as it seemed sort of too high end for the area. But - the restaurant ambiance & staff weee very welcoming! The sunset view was spectacular on the rooftop bar. Our intimate table looking out over the crashing ocean was quiet, perfect & relaxing. The food was so creative & flavorful. Clearly the chef crated each plate as a work of art - placing flowers, toppings etc very strategically. And the portions were just the right size for normal eaters- not small bites nor were they overwhelming. The flavors & sauces were what made the seafood unique. It is expensive but worth it! We loved it and will definitely be back! Similar: Benno, Jazamango. Note: the Kimpton Mas Olas replaced the Hyatt & its restaurants.
