Sunset Monalisa on Postcard

"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."

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.

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!

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.

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).

We went here for our anniversary/my boyfriend’s birthday and the service was AMAZING. Irving and I believe Jose served us and were timely and constantly checked on us. We chose the Vegetarian 5-course option and everything was amazing. Only drawback was that we went at night (9pm) so it was completely dark and extremely windy. Regardless, highly recommend!

The best restaurant I’ve ever been to, with great hospitality and service. The view is phenomenal, and we got a private area close to the ocean views. We chose the $135 menu option, which comes with an appetizer, main course, and dessert, all of which you can choose. For the main course, I had the truffle pasta, which I highly recommend, and for dessert, I had the tiramisu. I would definitely go back to this restaurant but would sit elsewhere.

We had an amazing anniversary dinner at the Sunset Mona Lisa. The service is excellent and the view is stunning. In front of the outdoor tables you get a view of the famous Arch and to the right you get a beautiful sunset view. They have live music and the waiters do a musical performance during sunset. The food is also very good and the drinks are wonderful! I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or just for a relaxing time with friends. It's a must on one of the visits to Cabo to experience their sunset view.

This is our second time visiting this establishment. It appears that there is now a seating charge downstairs along the cliff sides closer to the water view, which was not the case during our previous visit six years ago. The view is still breathtaking, and I recommend going close to sunset. The food was satisfactory, although I believe the menu has changed since our last visit, possibly indicating a change in ownership. The staff was very attentive and provided excellent service. Overall, I would recommend this establishment.
