Sunset Monalisa on Postcard

"In case you forget you’re in paradise, Monalisa’s view of the Sea of Cortez will jolt you back to that reality. This is a popular spot for weddings, engagements, anniversaries, and any other day that requires sunset backdrops. But it’s not just a trap for photos—the Mediterranean menu is stacked with octopus and scallops that were only swimming very recently, a wide selection of vegetarian options, and a fantastic truffle fettuccine." - Nili Blanck

"Sunset Monalisa is one of the most romantic restaurants in the world. Its views of Cabo San Lucas Bay and the arch at Land’s End are spectacular any time of day but particularly at sunset, when the sky turns vibrant shades of red, yellow, and purple. Love is definitely in the air here: Servers report at least one engagement per week, and it’s a favorite wedding venue. The multitiered cliffside restaurant features a Taittinger Terrace Oyster and Champagne Bar, as well as an exceptional Mediterranean menu from chef Paolo della Corte, who trained in Michelin-starred kitchens. Navigate the à la carte options independently or opt for the prix fixe or tasting menus."

We eat here every time we are in Cabo. There was a group of seven of us there Christmas night and that had to be the best time yet. Don’t let the prices scare you because you can order from the à la cart menu. The food, the service, and the view is top-notch.

Sunset Monalisa is an incredible place! My wife and I came here for our 1 year anniversary and we had previously come here in the past for our rehearsal dinner and this place is the most incredible restaurant experience you will ever find! Service, food, and VIEWS… don’t even think about anything less than a premium table here, it’s the easiest money you have ever spent! Our server Edgar was incredible and we feel blessed that he gave us an amazing anniversary experience. Thank you Sunset Monalisa for being the best!

I had the pleasure of dining at Sunset Monalisa in Cabo San Lucas, and it was an unforgettable experience. The restaurant is perfectly situated with stunning panoramic views of the ocean. Whether you're watching the sunset or just enjoying the sound of the waves, the setting alone is worth the visit. The ambiance is both relaxed and upscale, ideal for a romantic evening or a special celebration. The food was just as impressive as the view. I tried the [insert dish] and it was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The seafood is a must-try, considering the restaurant's proximity to the ocean. The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. If you're in Cabo San Lucas and looking for a place with a breathtaking view and top-notch cuisine, I highly recommend Sunset Monalisa.

Amazing restaurant! The view overlooking cabo is stunning! We dined just when the sun was starting to set, it was a great view! The service was fantastic, from the front desk to our waiters. Always with a smile and giving you the best service. I appreciated the recommendations. The food was up to our expectations. Flavours were totally balanced in all the dishes, there is enough choices for the 3-course Menu. The cherry on top was the detail and the end of our dinner because of our anniversary, we got a complementary muffin with 2 shots of chocolate tequila licor! 👌🏻 Thanks for an amazing experience and keep the good work!

A dinner memory that will last a lifetime... the service was outstanding, the food incredible, the ambiance breathtaking, and romantic! We arrived at sunset and were seated in time to see a sunset... beautiful. From the initial sparkling rose, through the appetizers and entrees, and finally to dessert, each dish was individually and meticulously curated to be amazing. Even several extras sent out by the chef were incredible. Pricey yes, but worth every penny. Highly recommend Sunset Monalisa for one of the best dinners of your life!

Obviously, this place is highly recommended for the views and the sunsets that occur that alone it’s worth for every penny you spend here. Especially seeing that on a day when the sun‘s going over the mountain 🏔️ on sunset. Perfect weather and clear. With that said do not read the rest because it’s about the food and service again every penny worth the view but ! The Wagyu beef ravioli was so salty. I had to send it back. That was very disappointing and the pasta wasn’t even towards al dente more like halfway cooked. They did take it off my bill. My wife saffron tortellini was also very salty. I don’t understand this place with such high reviews of how disappointing the food could be. My fillet steak was cooked as requested and was quite large. It wasn’t bad. The dessert some kind of moose pudding had no flavor no taste absolutely disappointing This place is huge. It’s always booked and I’m not sure about the service staff that go a long time in intervals 10 minutes to 15 or so without coming back to the table maybe I’m too spoiled American as I am when it comes wanting the service with the price that is charged. I would totally go back for the view, but no way would I spend money on the Food ! Sorry. Food 2 View 5+ Service 3-

We had a great experience in this restaurant and recommend anyone to go. It’s beautiful! It’s one of the best views we ever had during sunset. It feels like you are in Greece. The service was excellent. Be aware they charge $25 extra per person to have a premium sit, which is worth to pay because the views and environment are outstanding. They played live italian music which made it so romantic. The only reason why I’m giving a 4 star is for the food. It was not terrible but for the price you may consider finding a better chef. It was ok, but it was not outstanding how everything else was. Your competitors in Cabo offer better ( I mean better prepared, seasons, colors, combinations) foods for the same price ( average $100-150 per person for 3-7 course meals).

This is a beautiful restaurant right on the ocean with multiple levels indoors and out. The views are breathtaking, as are the prices. I was disappointed in my main dish of lamb ossobucco, it was way too rich and overcooked. However the salad and ceviche appy was outstanding. Five friends enjoyed their selections but they opted for the more expensive 5-course meals as opposed to 3 of us who took the 3-course; we were served first, our portions were small, and we waited over an hour with nothing for the other 5 to catch up to the dessert course. Not impressed. Plus our server seemed to "forget" us often in favour of other tables. Finally, we could not have separate cheques, so split the big total 4 ways and left to sort out on our own (no detail receipts). Other than the atmosphere, I felt let down and ripped off.
