                      Este restaurante, a pesar de ostentar una estrella Michelin, fue una de las peores experiencias que he tenido en mi vida. Su supuesta excelencia quedó opacada por la prepotencia e inflexibilidad de su personal, que me negó el acceso por llegar con un retraso ridículo de 2 minutos (los cuales ellos mismos provocaron) tras un viaje de más de una hora. No solo me trataron con una arrogancia desmedida, sino que hicieron evidente que aquí el cliente no importa, solo su ego inflado por una estrella que claramente no merece. No sé cómo Michelin permite que su nombre se asocie con un lugar tan despreciable y humillante. Si buscas excelencia real, ahórrate la decepción y el desprecio de este lugar. ¡Es una vergüenza que este restaurante siquiera se considere de alta categoría!

                      This was an amazing experience. The wine pairings were excellent and I didn’t realize there were so many good Mexican wines of this high caliber in both red and white. I’m vegetarian and so I was not full after this meal but my wife and her brother do eat meat and they were stuffed. A filet mignon is more filling than the same size piece of eggplant. So the value for a vegetarian was not as good as other high end tasting meals that I have had. But the taste of the food, the presentation, the wait staff, the ambience of the restaurant, even the bathrooms were awesome.

                      Definitivo un lugar que vale la pena. Estuvimos muy bien recibidos, con la cena a 9 tiempos y maridaje. Delicioso cada uno de los platillos y el servicio un verdadero placer. Fuimos por mi cumpleaños y tuvieron el detalle de enviarme un pequeño pastel para 4 lo cual definitivo lo aprecio mucho.

                      Every single course was phenomenal. Excellent attention to detail for everything from flavor to presentation. The staff were extremely attentive and knowledgeable. We were not staying at the Xcaret property, but this meal was well worth the trip out there. I am looking forward to coming back when I am in Playa!

                      Service was very attentive at the start of our meal at 6:30pm. As other diners arrived the staff became stretched and less responsive to our table. The descriptions of wines and food were quite short compared to similar restaurants. This was both a positive by eliminating excess or unwanted server interaction and a negative by discouraging questions and desired server interaction. It may have been a side-effect of the staff being stretched. Our principal server was very accommodating for the preferences of one in our party to avoid certain foods (but is not allergic to them). Most of us declined the wine pairing. We were given several mocktails which paired poorly with the food and were little more than a distraction. I sampled the wines served to my spouse. I thought they ranged from good to exceptional. All were far better than the house wines at the other Xcaret restaurants. The filet mignon was disappointing for some of us who felt it compared poorly to the beef served at Tah-xido hibachi. It was dry and lacked both flavor and complexity. Other courses were wonderfully complex and flavorful. At $146 plus gratuity without wine, this meal is a bargain. The wine pairing costs only $47 plus gratuity. If you don’t want the wine, try asking them not to serve all the mocktails. That might save you about $10 per person.

                      This is more than good food, it’s a gastronomic drama that is exciting and perfectly prepared dishes. The quality of food and services are a reminder of what Michelin stars are all about. The decor is interesting and the water features are over the top cool. I recommend Ha above many San Francisco 2stars I’ve visited. Well done!!!
