We tried this restaurant again at the urging of our concierge of the hotel we stayed at. He assured that they have new owners and got rid of all the rude staff there. But we did not commit until we looked around, we don't believe anything employees tell us in Cancun. Sorry but we've been lied to to much by helpful "locals". Much to our surprise, the place has completely changed inside. The food was good but still expensive. But the staff was SOO gracious and kind. We were seated outside but my teenage daughter was shivering because of the breeze. They insisted that we move inside and we sat right by the kitchen viewing window wall. Which is great because my daughter is going into culinary arts and thoroughly enjoyed the "show" of them cooking. My teenage son could hardly eat all the food he was given, and that's saying a lot. What a great turn around!!! WAY TO GO!

This place is VERY expensive not only because its in the Hotel Zone but just because it can be. Local lobster for $40 ? ripoff. Avoid , service is ok and they ask you to fill out a survey before you get your check probably becuase you will not be able to fill it out with your eyeballs hanging out after you see your bill with all those zeros. Go eat downtown cheaper and worth the short bus ride. This is not a place for kids as one travel book suggests.

Althought the restaurant is really amazing to look at the service was terrible. The waiter was rude and did not visit our table unless we flaged him down. There were ton's of waiters just standing around but no one would refill your drink or take away plates. We were in a large group and asked to have the bill split by families(there were three families total) he said he could not do that because it was too hard for him. So when the bill came and we tried to pay by families it was a nightmare. The food was average and I will not go back to this restaurant again. There are way too many other fantastic restaurants to that offer great service and great food.
