                                                          En general son muy atentos . La casona es espectacular pero el clima no funcionaba y es molesto comer así con tanto calor . Nos dijeron que no se podía poner el clima más frío . Mi pescado no estuvo fresco y duro . Les comenté y no me dieron opciones . Ya había comido ahí amo sus esquites pero ahora no fue la mejor experiencia. La carta de vinos muy amplia así como la coctelería . El postre no fue memorable

                                                          Excellent! We ordered a la carte. The service was first class. The food was delicious, interesting but accessible, and well presented. We didn’t love our desserts but by then we were sold on the rest. Excellent Mexican white wine and cocktails. Worth the price for sure!

                                                          Beautiful place. Excellent service. Drinks top shelf. But food was unimpressive. The starters were delicious. Unfortunately the pork belly was dry as was the Robalo. It was still a pleasant experience but at that price we would not return.

                                                          C'est avec une profonde déception que je reprends la plume pour évoquer cet établissement qui, jadis, avait su me captiver. Il y a trois ans, ce lieu s'était distingué par un service impeccable et une proposition culinaire audacieuse, mariant technicité et créativité avec brio. Quelle ne fut pas ma stupeur lors de ma récente visite de constater l'ampleur de la régression. Le service, autrefois attentionné et fluide, s'est métamorphosé en une prestation rigide où transparaît un dédain à peine voilé pour le convive. Les assiettes, quant à elles, témoignent d'une main lourde sur le sel qui étouffe toute subtilité gustative et dénature le produit. Ce constat amer soulève une question troublante : qu'a-t-il bien pu se passer dans les coulisses de cette maison durant ces trois années ? Comment expliquer qu'un établissement qui brillait par son excellence se soit laissé distancer par la concurrence avec une telle négligence ? Une adresse qui s'endort sur ses lauriers est, hélas, en espérant un changement salutaire!

                                                          Kuuk is one of many beautiful colonial mansions serving as restaurants in Merida. The ambiance is great, the service was friendly, attentive and top notch. Unfortunately other than the pumpkin squash appetizer that was excellent. The food did not live up to the building and service. The food was okay but for what should be a magical night my wife and I were underwhelmed. While I give it 4 stars, I would recommend going to Yerba Santa for the same or better ambiance with a meal and service that is 5+ stars. My apologies to Kuuk which is a test or Maya training kitchen because you aren’t bad. You are good but I needed great. I would definitely go back for cocktails and an appetizer in their small bar but there are tremendous other options with the same elegant dining experience.

                                                          Me gusto mucho lo que comí, el sabor de los alimentos de muy buena calidad. La presentación fantástica, la comodidad del lugar muy buena, íntima y de buen gusto. Lo único que me hizo falta fue sentir más el servicio y amabilidad por parte del personal. Nadie nos hizo sugerencias ni aportaciones de ningún tipo, no me hicieron sentir como en casa y eso es algo que en lo personal valoro mucho en un buen restaurante. Lo recomendable el chicharrón de pulpo, el tabule, el New York y el Robalo

                                                          I’m vegetarian, and I actually thought about canceling my reservation because I didn’t see a lot of options for me on the menu. I’m so glad I kept the reservation! There is a tasting menu that is entirely vegetarian + options on the standard menu. I did the tasting menu and it was outstanding! Yes, it’s a bit pricy but it’s worth every penny. The variety of flavors, beautiful presentation, and the uniqueness of each dish made this an unforgettable meal. This is by far the best restaurant I have ever been to in Mexico, and I’ve done fine dining in Mexico City. The service was also excellent and the restaurant ambiance (it’s located inside an old mansion) is unmatched. I was completely blown away and this restaurant exceeded my expectations.
