Watch the short YouTube video (0:36) of our view from the edge of the restaurant
As you saw in the video above, our evening started with a glass of champagne while we sat at the edge of the rocks with the view as seen in the photo here. We saw surfers down below navigating their way through the rocky areas, enjoying the short but apparently fun rides through the surf. We were warmly greeted by Jessica Armenta, the Marketing and PR Manager for Grupo Monalisa, and by Giuseppe Napoli, the Director of Operations. Jessica, Giuseppe, and the entire staff made us feel very welcome.
Part of the amazing experience here at Sunset MonaLisa is watching the sun go over the hills as it sets into the Pacific Ocean. You must watch this beautiful YouTube video (0:35) of the setting sun and you’ll see why this location is so popular!
We enjoyed a “Tasting Menu” for dinner, and the carefully prepared flavors were delicate yet noticeable.
>The Tuna Tartar was prepared with a with chipotle and basil vinaigrette, served with cauliflower cream and crispy polenta
>Not pictured above (we ate it too fast) was a Truffle Tagliatelle, homemade pasta sauteed with 24-month aged Parmiggiano cheese
>Our main course was a lightly Braised Alaska Salmon with broccoli puree, fennel confit, and lemon grass foam
>The dessert (watch this YouTube video) was a Bitter Chocolate Sphere stuffed with mandarin sorbet and peppermint with a flaming liqueur poured on top
Here are a few more of my photos from the evening:
The next time you’re in Cabo San Lucas, or even in San José del Cabo, your memorable evening should be at Sunset MonaLisa Restaurant; you can’t go wrong!
Happy Travels!
