    Amazing menu with Mediterranean options that are presented in a unique way. The presentation of the food is beautiful, the ambiance and decor is exquisite, the taste is delicious and the service is extremely friendly amd easy going. Everyone allowed us to take our time with each item without rushing us. The chef took out time to come and greet and us as well as chat with us. The fresh bread with freshly squeezed olive oil, hummus, maghreb chicken, gnocchi and baklava were amazing. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed this unique experience in Los Cabos.

    We had a lovely dinner in this award-winning restaurant. It is one of the few truly Mediterranean Places in all of Los Cabos. The service was well informed, friendly and attentive. We will be back and bring our foodie friends with us.

    The menu and food were very good. Perhaps because this is a newer restaurant, there were very few people there when I dined. The inside ambience Is very light and modern. There’s not much of a view outside, however.

    The food and service was excellent! The food is so fresh. We ordered the beets, hummus and the carpaccio for starters. Then had the catch of the day and the chicken. All were excellent. Forgot to take photos of the main courses.

    NAO is wonderful from the moment you arrive and after more than 7 or 8 trips here for vacation, it was BY FAR the best meal we’ve had in Cabo. Each of the staff have pride in the role they play in what is an unpretentious but decidedly upscale overall experience filled with thoughtful menu choices, highest quality ingredients, and the kind of menu that you just know took months (or years) to perfect. The server helped us determine the flavors and dishes we were drawn to and designed courses to best compliment each other. The chef/owner came to our table to explain each dish and lingered to chat at the end of the meal to hear our feedback. From the unique and modern interior, glassware and flatware I’ve never seen anywhere else, and an interesting and beautiful presentation for each dish, along with a lovely wine selection and creative cocktails, NAO was a pleasure through and through. Our favorite dishes were the house made focaccia with olives, roasted carrots, filled pasta with lamb, and the cucumber salad. We were too full for dessert, unfortunately. All had well developed sauces, layered flavors that made sense and not fancy just to be fancy. We each had one cocktail, 5 glasses of wine between us as well as 5 dishes we shared for roughly $200 USD, turned out to be a very good value as well. The only very, very small detail I would change is to provide a little brighter and “warmer” lighting at the table as a small votive was not enough to see the menu very well and to provide a little bit more inviting atmosphere to contrast the modern overhead lighting. Thank you NAO, WE WILL BE BACK!

    El lugar sorprende por el resplandor blanco, saturado de formas en el techo y el frío del interior. El servicio se esfuerza por ser amable; sin embargo se nota nervioso, con dificultad para responder preguntas sencillas sobre la carta. La comida desde el pan hasta el postre es espectacular. Una reminiscencia de los tiempos del Bullí, con ingredientes y sabores explosivos. Verdaderamente sorprendente. Mi favorito fue el pulpo. Pero las costillas de elote, el gnocchi y los ravioles de cordero fueron fenomenales. El único gran defecto que me hace pensar por que este lugar está vacío? Un par de goles en la cuenta. Chequen bien sus consumos. Pides tantas cosas que es fácil que agreguen más conceptos.
