We had a wonderful ocean terrace dining experience last Friday to celebrate our 15th anniversary. The breathtaking views and the spectacular sunset were truly the highlights of our dinner. Our servers were exceptional and incredibly kind. The "Lust" drink from the 7 deadly sins cocktail menu was delicious. I initially expected smaller portions, but the four-course dinner was quite generous. My only critique is that the steak knives could have been sharper, making it a bit challenging to cut our steaks. The area was rather humid and stuffy due to earlier rain, so some additional ventilation or cooling would have been greatly appreciated. The dinner itself was a bit pricey, and that did not include drinks or the service tip, which offered options of 20%, 23%, or 25%, or a custom amount. I believe that the expense of a nice dinner was justified given the special occasion we were celebrating.

Food/drinks, atmosphere, & service all exceeded expectations. While much pricier than other restaurants in Cabo - certainly worth the experience. From the view, to the live music, & the ambience was spectacular. Food was incredible, drinks were so tasty, and service was great. It was so helpful to have our server speaking English as we speak very little Spanish. Absolutely no complaints from me & would definitely visit again & recommend to all those visiting Cabos or looking for a beautiful fine dining venue! Thank you for having my boyfriend & I!

Rating this like a high-end restaurant, not a standard restaurant. They charge $25 per person to reserve premium seating, instead they advertise as “deposit”. Well, that’s non-refundable even if you show up. I still would say $25 for the scenery is worth the price. Crazy thing is they have live singing, performances, and music throughout - at first I thought it’s pre-recorded until the singer shows up closer to my table. I was stunned! Service from waiter was -ok-, like what you would get from high end restaurants, but they are always suggest you to buy more. Food was meh.. bread and appetizers (baked oysters and bone marrow tuna) were great. I had my hopes up, but the main course was disappointing. Picture shows upgraded option, Kuro American Wagyu, totally undercooked and raw, even then, cutting was difficult, had to ask for a mini-grill to charcoal burn myself. Dessert is not to my liking, but that’s a personal choice, I didn’t consider dessert for in my rating. In summary: If you are coming for the scenery, you definitely should, especially during sunset, and pay for premium seating. If you are here for food, sorry, I had diarrhea middle of the night probably from this meal. We got the 3 course set and some alcohol ($25 USD per glass), with taxes it’s just under $200 per person, not counting the seating fee.

What a beautiful restaurant with amazing views overlooking the ocean. We made it in time just for the sunset dining. I recommend to reserve the premium seating which is $25 pp. What we ate: bread, raw oysters, bone marrow tuna for appetizers which were great! For the main course we ate Lamb Shank Ossobuco and the Australian Wagyu beef with a mini-grill (optional) to charcoal burn yourself. For dessert we had the Tropical Delight which was definitely a delight! We really enjoyed every moment of the live singing and conch blow horn. Thank you for the most memorable birthday experience.

Reposting as my text did not show up before. Stunning Views, Mixed Experience – Worth It for the Sunset, But Not Without Flaws Sunset Mona Lisa is undeniably one of the most visually stunning dining experiences in Cabo. The view alone—crashing waves, surfers cutting through the water, and a front-row seat to the sun dipping below the horizon—is worth remembering. Our table was right at the edge of the terrace with a completely unobstructed view, and that part was absolutely magical. The food was solid but didn’t quite live up to the high-end pricing. We chose the three-course fixed menu (around $90 USD, if memory serves). The steak tartare appetizer was excellent, and the dessert was lovely. However, the truffle linguine (or fettuccine) didn’t deliver on the rich truffle flavor I was hoping for. Our group also ordered a side of fries that never arrived—not a huge deal, but for the price and reputation, small misses like that add up. Service was generally warm and attentive, and we enjoyed the white wine selected for the table. However, we ran into a major issue when one of our group members was accidentally charged in U.S. dollars instead of pesos—resulting in a charge of over $3,000 for a single meal. Despite having five more days in Cabo to resolve it, the restaurant dragged their feet, and it wasn’t settled until we were already back in the States, after getting her bank involved. It was stressful, frustrating, and completely avoidable. Honestly, for that kind of error, they should have comped her entire meal. In terms of ambiance, it’s definitely designed for romantic, intimate dinners. With our group of five, we were mindful of possibly disturbing the couples around us—tables felt a bit too tightly packed. I’d suggest they consider seating larger, more lively parties in one area, and couples in another, to help preserve the serene vibe for everyone. That said, the restaurant includes a professional photographer to take a complimentary photo of your party, which was a wonderful gift and helped us capture memories without disrupting the atmosphere. The drinks were beautiful and creative, themed after the Seven Deadly Sins. I didn’t try them this time, but I definitely plan to next time. The bathrooms were also immaculate and tastefully designed—an often overlooked detail that added to the overall sense of elegance. Overall, I’d give this experience 4 stars for the setting and presentation, but 3.5 stars when factoring in the unresolved billing error and slightly underwhelming food. It’s definitely worth visiting once for the view and ambiance—but I hope the service team tightens up the details to match the beauty of the location.

Nestled on the cliffs of Cabo San Lucas, Sunset Mona Lisa offers an unforgettable dining experience where every element is thoughtfully designed to elevate the senses. From its breathtaking views of the ocean and iconic arch to the exceptional service and mouthwatering cuisine, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. When it comes to food, the pasta dishes are absolutely divine. The menu is a celebration of Italian flavors, with each dish crafted to perfection. The pasta is fresh, the sauces rich and flavorful, and the seafood options are incredibly fresh, making it clear that they prioritize quality. The lobster ravioli is a standout—light yet indulgent, with a delicate balance of flavors that will leave you craving more. In summary, Sunset Mona Lisa is a destination restaurant that combines stunning views, top-notch cocktails, exquisite food, and impeccable service. It’s the kind of place where you can celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a beautiful evening. The ambiance alone makes it worth the visit, but it’s the unforgettable experience that will have you coming back for more.

Beautiful view, but that's where the compliments end. We finally decided to try Sunset Monalisa after hearing mixed reviews from friends--and unfortunately, we now understand the hesitation. The view? Absolutely stunning--10/10. The setting sun over the ocean creates an unforgettable backdrop & enjoyed the live music. Be prepared to see couples posing for pictures 24/7... which is amusing at first but gets quite old. The rest of the experience? A major letdown, sadly. Food (3/10): *The oysters were borderline inedible. My husband, a lifelong oyster lover, couldn't finish them. *Scallops were undercooked and rubbery, with flat, uninspired flavors and a disappointing presentation. *The tartare was lackluster--the meat wasn't high quality and lacked any real flavor. We only enjoyed it after soaking it in the soy/Jo Dales-style marinade it came with. *The totoaba sashimi was underwhelming as well, though we did appreciate the unexpected touch of watermelon, which offered a unique contrast. *The one highlight was the ravioli--well-prepared and flavorful, but not enough to redeem the overall meal. Service (2/10): Disorganized, inattentive, and impersonal. For a restaurant positioned as a fine-dining destination, the service was far from what you'd expect. Bottom line: Go for a cocktail and the view if you must--but skip dinner. There are better ways to enjoy a Cabo sunset without the high price tag and disappointment.
