    We thoroughly enjoyed our experience in this beautiful restaurant. Raul and his colleagues were attentive and friendly and they made sure we were well taken care of. The food is exceptional, the entertainment was great and the service was incredible. We will be back and will tell all our friends to dine at Hacienda san Angel.

    We always enjoy returning to La Cappella! In many ways, it is so European.....a bit like stepping back in time. An atmosphere of calm, peace and tranquility, with top-flight cuisine and gracious welcoming hosts and waiters. And to top it all......the views across the Cathedral and roof tops out to a panoramic Banderas Bay....it really is a special dining experience.....every single time! Andre

    What an amazing vibe wonderful customer service very cool setting very good service. I just didn’t see the value in the cost for the omakase. Normally for that price you would get a larger number. Selection of fishes seafoods. I feel like they use the same fish many different ways but didn’t have a good selection of fish or seafood. When you’re spending over $150 a person shrimp and Uni and scallops and some other rare Fish or shellfish, but it was just mainly tuna and salmon and a couple other fishes
