    Absolutely phenomenal! The grilled octopus was perfectly tender with a delightful char, the papaya salad was vibrant and refreshing, and the sea bass was expertly cooked with rich, balanced flavors. Every dish was a masterpiece, showcasing bold, well-crafted flavors. The entire experience—from the food to the atmosphere—was top-notch. I can’t wait to return!

    Excelente comida Peruana-Japones, excelente servicio con atencion muy personal en un entorno muy unico. Axel (Ramirez) y su equipo prestan un servicio del mas alto nivel. Aime e Israel mostraron gran conocimiento no solo del menu pero tambien de la cocina Nikkei y la historia en el Peru. Realmente uno de los mejores, si no el mejor restaurante en Cabo. Tanto en cuanto a la calidad de la comida como en el nivel de atencion.

    Beautiful setting and good service. Not many gluten-free options - would not recommend it if that’s important to you. Even when asked to have something on menu made without gluten item in it restaurant was relatively inflexible, which is unlike most our Four Seasons experiences we’ve had before. Manager Alexander was excellent and attentive to our request, but we already put our in & had been very limited as there were very few gluten-free items on the menu. Lots of raw fish.

    The food was excellent, but the prices are ridiculously high. The service was fawning but poorly paced. Too much food arrived at once, including main courses while we were having appetizers.
