    Waited 30min for a waiter to approach our table. Took an hour for a couple of pieces of bread with olive oil to be brought out. Ordered an arugula salad that was poorly dressed, not much flavor. Spaghetti carbonara was over cooked, pancetta tasted like beef jerky. Over priced meal, save your money for better Italian.

    Food, ambience by evening pool and ocean were ideal. We were at the Hilton celebrating our 48th anniversary and were given pride of place in the very center. A shout out to Gregorio and Rony who waited on us. Both were friendly, energetic and helpful and the overall experience was a delight. My husband had the beef tenderloin with blackberry reduction and it was tender and delicious (I had a large bite.). My Scampi Alla Griglia with a tomato risotto was outstanding. And don’t miss the wonderful chocolate tartufo for a perfect ending!

    Made reservations for Vela and was directed to Mío for our dinner (Vela in remodeling mode with no prior warning). Not the setting we desired and after trying to find Vela for 10 minutes and asking three employees we understood Mío was it (and we speak Spanish). Cocktails were below average mainly muddled flavors. Food was decent but presentation was lame. My wife never finished first drink, no one asked why. Food portions too much, under cooked Chick’n tagine. Pasta was heavy and dense.

    My family and I ate at Vela the day after we got to the Hilton Los Cabo’s. I made sure to make reservations in advance. The view was amazing as was the food. My oldest daughter said she had the best steak she’s ever eaten here. Francisco and Victor were very attentive. Victor came back over to give us some recommendations where to visit in Cabo San Lucas. He was super friendly and made sure we always had what we needed. Thanks for the great service!

    I expected more! We waited over 15 minutes to be greeted by our server. Asked for ice with water multiple times, did not happen. Ordered an espresso martini & margarita- sent the margarita back. For appetizers had the scallops. Dinner lobster & shrimp ravioli, which both were fine. However We did not feel well after.

    Pasta carbonara was good but rigatoni with mushrooms wasn’t good at all. Pasta was tough and overly chewy, and only had 3 small pieces of mushroom. For $33USD! The tables are at the edge of the pool (people in bathing suits) and better sited for casual dining than fine dining as this is advertised and priced.

    Highly recommend, this was our best meal in Cabo and the service is impeccable. I’m a big foodie and couldn’t recommend this place enough. Wine pours are weak, so I recommend getting a bottle. I had the pesto basil ravioli, which was excellent. My husband had the short rib, both excellent as was the appetizer and dessert.
