   Incredible overall experience. Setting was without a doubt most incredible for a dining experience. Wait staff was extremely attentive and provided food options for a few in our party that had allergies and/or dietary restrictions. Meal was coursed out so we had time to enjoy each while taking in the incredible scenery of the Pacific Ocean and star studded sky. An expensive dinner but overall good value taking inconsideration the service and setting

   This was supposed to be the special dinner to end our spring break but this 2 hour ordeal was exhausting. My steak was overdone and I could barely eat any of it. It is a beautiful resort but the food did not taste good and was extremely overpriced.

   This is an overpriced tourist trap . When you first get there, they bring you through a gate and then sit you down to order drinks which will cost you $70 for two drinks - from there they lead you to a champagne bar where they try to upsell you on drinking champagne - then they finally bring you to your table. The food is just OK and the service sucked. Between the drinks at the beginning of the dinner, $70 and the dinner $330 I spent $400 on crappy service and the food wasn’t that good so literally don’t bother go somewhere else

   We prepaid for the experience.. the food was Not an experience at all … food was cold and definitely not worth the $800 for 4 people we then got a bottle of wine, 1 tequila shot, 2 mixed drinks and a glass of champagne (that was an additional 800+ tip) one of the most expensive meals we have ever had but walked away not satisfied at all. Everything about the place is absolutely amazing beautiful views great ambience. I just wish the food was as amazing as everything else. Definitely will never be going back. It’s a one and done.

   We've been to this lovely restaurant multiple times over the years but had not been able to get a reservation for the last 3, so we were delighted to be able to get one for this year! Book well in advance during the busy season if you hope to get a reservation! We had an early reservation, 5:15, but it ended up being perfect because we were there to see all of the boats heading out to watch the sunset, watched a fisherman along the beach, and still got to enjoy when it became dark and the restaurant and surrounding cliffs were lit up beautifully. Prices have definitely increased, but overall the food was delicious, and when you consider that the meal includes appetizer, soup, your main dish (very generous portions), and dessert, it is not unreasonable. We were not disappointed and look forward to returning soon!

   We had wonderful time at El Farallon! We entered the hotel through a long tunnel with beautiful lights with a wonderful valet staff waiting for us. We were then driven by golf cart through the resort to the restaurant. Once we arrive there, it was so majestic! The restaurant is cut right into the cliffs so you have nature on both sides with the mountains and the ocean. The staff was very attentive and we loved our food with the fresh seafood. They accommodated our 12-year-old daughter who had allergies and made her feel special. All in all, we felt like it was an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cabo!

   The view and ambiance were amazing. Unfortunately the quality of the food did not match. The lobster was over cooked and inedible which is extremely disappointing for paying $140 USD. While our server was kind, he was not attentive and we waited 20-30 minutes between courses; these courses were extremely light (soup, salad, ceviche) so we were still so hungry waiting for our main course. Our reservation was for 5:30pm, we were not seated until 6pm and the dinner took 3 hrs. Overall, not worth the money. Rather than dinner, go have an overpriced glass of champagne at the champagne bar there and enjoy the sunset/the views.

   Basically a beautiful spot for dinner, but an underwhelming food experience. The service was, and I rarely comment on servers as their job is so under appreciated, spotty at best. Food/ drink preparation fell short as well as my friends’s steak was overcooked and had to be redone. My drink was also sent back to be redone and was average at best. We even sent the bill back because the server forgot to include our meals in the final total. At premium pricing this was not up to what was expected.

    We have been to El Farallon multiple times and love it each time. It is quiet other than the crashing waves, with soft music from time to time. Such a magical place that uses nature as the backdrop and ambience. Keep it up!
