Wonderful, very creative food in low key, causal space. Service great, big wine pour. Good music but speaker level a bit too loud. Had a lovely evening. Highly recommend

I had a wonderful dining experience at Bahía’s Four Seasons Restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm and attentive without being intrusive. The staff made us feel genuinely welcome and ensured everything ran smoothly throughout our meal. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell care is put into both the ingredients and the preparation. Every dish we tried had its own unique touch, and it was clear that quality is a top priority here. The view is also amazing!

Hugo and the whole staff were amazing from the get go. One of the most stunning views you will ever have at a restaurant. You’re literally on the edge of cliff. Went there on our honeymoon from San Diego CA and we were not disappointed. Food was delicious, recommended the surf and turf.
