This is a most for couples! The food is great and so much presentation goes into each dish and drink. We celebrated our friends 13 year anniversary and we all was blown away at the atmosphere and food.

I thought the price was pretty good for the food and the environment just keeps you in awe.

We made reservations just so that we would get a good seat, but there are places to be seated at all over and tucked into the deeper portions of the cave. Very beautiful!

You definitely come here for the experience! The cave is so beautiful! We came here for our one year anniversary (I am wearing my wedding dress on every anniversary). It was very hot in there but they do have fans around the tables. Make sure to make a reservation and have confirmation before showing up. They were out of a few food items/meal options but what we did eat was good. I think everyone should visit for the experience and some good photo ops!

One of the most memorable dining experiences of our lives. Partly due to the fact that the venue was a surprise so we did not know we would be dining underground, and one would never expect that there were caverns based on the street-front of the restaurant. Food was very good, drink selection and presentation was amazing, and service was outstanding. High prices, but well worth it for the full experience. Highly recommended!

This was our fist time fine dining in Playa del Carmen. The experience was great, they had Free parking. The reservation process went smooth.

They have us a great table and the service and food was good. The portion sizes are a bit too small. But other than that we had a great time. The whole place is located in a cenote / cave.

Everything was clean and sanitized. Prices are just right for a fine dining experience.

Fantastic dining experience. Service was excellent and food was delicious (I'm not a foodie but their fish and deer meat dishes blew my mind). We ordered their catch of the day, tuna in cocoa coating, deer meat (can't remember the dish name) and a non alcoholic cocktail, and it was plenty of food for the two of us. The bill turned out to be about $120 without tips.

If you're celebrating a birthday, they bring a complementary piece of birthday cake and sing Happy Birthday :)

You can get a more private table but will probably need to call them for it (I reserved a table online). It's really hot inside unless they seat you next to an AC so dress lightly! Once you're done eating, go explore the caves - they are very pretty.

Once in a lifetime dining experience. This was our first time fine dining in Mexico. The restaurant is in an underground cave, which makes the dining experience totally unique. We opted for a private cave for additional charge. Totally worth it if you want a more private setting. Some of the private caves options let’s you play your own music. The food, drinks and service were good overall. High priced, but you’re also paying for the experience.

Everyone needs to visit this cave restaurant at least once in their life! We had a great dinner here nearly a decade ago, and it is so nice to drop by again and see all the incredible improvements made on an already amazing place! Five stars for everything: service, meals, wine selection, and atmosphere! Some may say it’s a bit expensive, but, come on, you’re paying for the whole experience.
