   The most frustrating thing about this place is that we have experienced superb food and service in the past, but the last couple of times that we have dined here, the experience hasn't really come close to those initial times. I ordered the shrimp and lobster risotto, and though inexplicably available only with shrimp, it was again outstanding and was the highlight of the meal. My wife ordered the "Flamexhco" [sic] pizza, and it came out almost cold, not crisp, and heavy with grease. We expected it to be rich and do not object to that, but it should be HOT and crisp to counter the richness. We had a couple of nice cocktails (aviation and mexican sour) but did not order dessert. The server seemed a bit miffed that we weren't ordering more food, but we had flown in that day, and my wife, especially, did not want to eat too much. The server explained that there was an apple tart that took 25 minutes to cook, so that if we wanted to order it, we should do so as we ordered dinner. We declined, only because we knew we might not be comfortable with so much food and didn't want to commit, but I expected that the server might offer other possibilities after the meal. We sat outside, and the evening atmosphere is very pleasant, with people walking up and down the street in the Plaza Pescador and a live saxophonist. We were dining on a Monday night and an informal holiday (Jan. 6), so we thought that the chef might not be in house, but we spotted him chatting with another employee as we waited endlessly for our check. (Yes, I understand that we need to signal for it, but you cannot do that if no one is paying attention!) Finally, I think that it's weird that out of all the fine dining places that we patronize in Cabo (we are here every January for two weeks), this is the only place where servers specifically ask to be tipped in cash. I'm not sure why, and I do comply with the request, but it seems out of place and a little off-putting.

   The food was superb. Because of its proximity to the hotel zone, the prices are a tad high for some offerings but certainly not all. Regardless, it was worth it. We had cocktails, bottled water, appetizers, split an entree, had a glass of Cab, split an apple pastry and walked out at $100 per person. The ambience of the street is less hectic than Latino8 or La Forchetta, as we had a passing musician instead of one playing nonstop amplified music. The hostess was engaging and sold us on trying this place last time we were here. This time she suggested excellent choices. Service was good and the waiter was attentive and very accommodating of our infant grandson. All combined to insure we will be back.

   We ate two meals here, breakfast and dinner breakfast far away the best breakfast we ate in Cabo, dinner not too bad either, but the breakfast is King. Service either way absolutely impeccable made to feel right at home, and would come back just for that

   We have been coming to this Bistro for several years and always have an excellent experience. The food and the staff are great. This is one of our favorite restaurants in San Jose Del Cabo.

   We shared an order of beef carpaccio fritters. For mains, my husband had the slow cooked lamb and I had the lobster and shrimp risotto. Everything was delicious! Damian was our server and was very attentive and knowledgeable! I highly recommend this restaurant!!

    Left our resort to venture out for a good meal. Did not disappoint. It was worth the $30 cost to Uber. Menu was different than we saw online but they made sure we were happy with our choices and the chef sent a FABULOUS dessert to our table to make-up for the discrepancy. Highly recommend if you are in Cabo!
