We ventured from our resort to a neighboring Mayakoba resort, the Rosewood. At the recommendation of our concierge, we chose to have our last dinner in Mexico at Casa Del Lago. The resort is absolutely beautiful- breathtaking really. When we arrived, we were escorted to the host stand of the restaurant, and promptly seated in an outside, but intimate seating area lit mainly by candles. Our view was of the tops of palm trees and other beautifully landscaped scenery, surrounding the pool area.
Our server was Angel, and he was spectacular. His professionalism, knowledge, and hospitality was nothing less than perfect- he truly was the the perfect example of what you expect in a place such as this.
For our appetizer, we ordered the Anitpasto at Angel's recommendation, and it was very very good, and just the perfect portion to share with another person. Served along with 3 spreads, the wide variety of flavor in this dish was excellent. Before we even ordered, a bread basket was delivered to our table, served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and is refilled throughout your entire meal as you need.
I ordered the lobster and shrimp ravioli, which was served in a light sauce and garnished with different vegetables. The portion was the perfect size to follow an appetizer, and the flavor was incredible.. nothing like I've ever tasted in a ravioli dish, but this was amazing! My husband ordered the veal, which was huge. The veal is served breaded and on the bone, with a very generous side salad. I'm not a fan of veal, but he asked me to "forget what it was and try it", so I did and I have to admit.. it was very good. For desert we split the Honey and Apple cream cake, which was similar to a cheesecake, with an apple jelly in the center, and lemon grass ice cream to compliment it. The ice cream tastes homemade, and the cake was the perfect size- just a couple bites for each of us -to finish our meal.
We traveled to Mexico with another couple and chose our last night to spend alone for dinner, and this was the absolutely perfect place to do so. It was so peaceful, and we were so impressed by our entire experience. Thank you to the staff, Angel especially, for making our last night in Mexico so memorable!
