About the restaurant
Our restaurant setting is in an open air palm made "palapa". Enjoy a relaxing ambiance made by scenic surf view, soft Latin jazz, sea breeze and the sound of the surf breaking on the beach. Our "7 Seas" project is a gastronomical endeavor in search of exciting fresh seafood dishes made of fish caught from according to Jacques Cousteau "one of the great aquariums in the world": the sea of Cortez. Dishes are inspired from Old and New world, Oriental and Mexican legacies. As a complement to our main menu, we offer Mexican dinner specialties. Wine is carefully selected and brought from wineries all over the "7 Seas" from California, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, France, Italy, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. Our bread, desserts and pastries are done in-house by our talented pastry chef.

Overall really good restaurant. Service staff were very friendly and attentive, and the food was really nicely presented and delicious. Signature cocktails were impressive and well executed, but anything not off their cocktail menu (mojitos and regular margaritas) were a miss. The restaurant is very nice, with a chic decor, and some live saxophone to highten the ambiance. Unfortunately, it's open air and it was quite windy outside. They didn't have anything to block wind nor did they have sufficient heaters running to keep it manageable. They did offer blankets, but as the night went on it became quite chilly making for a less than ideal dining experience. To put in perspective, we didn't even want dessert or coffee after eating, we just wanted to pay and get out. The service was also quite slow (maybe they didn't have enough staff due to low season and fact it was Tuesday night). A polarizing experience, but if it's a warm and not so windy evening, I would go back.
