7 Seas Restaurant & Bar
The Cabo Surf boutique hotel on Playa Acapulquito in San José del Cabo is a magical place to stay, and its fabulous 7 Seas Restaurant is one of the best dining experiences in Cabo. Perched over the sand and sea, 7 Seas integrates itself into the landscape. You can start your day with delicious breakfast items such as fresh juices, assorted coffees, and a menu where no fewer than five items are designated as healthy food, and the others in the yummy pancake/waffle/Eggs Benedict category. ($5.75 US to $12.50 US). At lunch, the menu focuses on salads and seafood, like the Topolobampo (Don’t you love saying that word?) Crab Tostadas, and the almond crusted shrimp with mango salsa. ($7 to $19 US). And if all that’s not enough to chew on, then there’s the dinner menu. Wow. Sashimi anyone? What about sautéed scallops or surf and turf? Entrées include mostly fish and seafood, every dish prepared in an extraordinary way. For non-fish eaters, there are some fantastic meat, chicken, or pasta selections. ($16.50 to $27.50 US).

But, how’s this for a great idea: Full Moon Dinners. 7 Seas Restaurant & Bar has created a special dinner menu for the special full moon nights. Dine on the sand or the terrace, from appetizer to dessert. The chef prepares an inclusive menu for each month’s full moon. (prix fixe menu $50 US) Check the Lunar Calendar for dates.

Arts & Sushi
Cabo has some of the most unique and interesting venues for dining out, and one of my favorites is Arts & Sushi located alongside the marina boat ramp, behind Liverpool, at the Plaza Bonita Mall. Here you can enjoy fresh sushi – so fresh it was probably caught off Cabo just hours before. You’ll dine in a veritable gallery of fine paintings and sculptures by Mexican and international artists. You’ll want to come often because the exhibitions change frequently as the art works sell out. Arts & Sushi Master Chefs Israel and José have been at their craft for over 10 years. In addition to their expertly prepared sushi and sashimi items, you can enjoy traditional Japanese dinner-house dishes including tempura (deep fried shrimp and veggies), yakitori (skewered seafood or chicken in tangy sauces) and teppanyaki entrées including rib eye, tenderloin, lobster, and more. Exotic original creations abound from a cucumber and crab salad to “Camarones Gagaluka” – shrimp filled with spicy crab and sea bass.” Nigiri sushi, special hand rolls, rice bowls with crab or shrimp, lobster curry, and more, all waiting to make your taste buds happy. Traditional Japanese beers, sake, and green tea are offered to those homesick for Tokyo, or you can have the bartender mix your favorite libation from the full bar. Entrée’s are priced from $14 US for the “Rice Bowl with Tuna and Seaweed” to $25 US for the fantastic “Special Hamachi Yellow Tail with Curry Oil and Citric Sauce.” Open from 11 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. Groups to 40 accommodated.

Experience Mexican high cuisine at Don Emiliano’s. Elegant dining in the palmed courtyard under the stars makes for a romantic evening here. For starters try the Fiesta of Tomales representing the four regions of México, while the XIX convent recipe for Sopa de Natas will make you want to bless to the cook.

La Bodega Steak & Wine House

There are lots of reasons to go to La Bodega Steak & Wine House, and there are lots of reasons to go back again and again. The first reason, and perhaps why you go in the first place, is for the Certified Angus Beef (CAB). If a thick, juicy, sizzling, grilled steak is what you crave, La Bodega is where you want to get it. Four cuts – flank, rib eye, New York, and filet mignon – are offered. La Bodega’s cooking terms are advised on the menu, and whichever cut you choose, it will be grilled to perfection. All cuts come with roasted vegetables and your choice of a second side. Another reason to go is for the scrumptious and modern menu of tempting appetizers, Some of the creative starters include shrimp taquitos, wrapped in lettuce with onion puree, pistachio vinaigrette, mustard, and lime; and a duck brochette with peanut, coconut and Brie tamarind mole and Cous-cous salad. Have you ever? Each month, owner Sergio de la Sierra selects his “Wine of the Month” from the collection of more than 70 labels. These wines, mostly red to accompany the rich meat flavors, are one of his passions and pleasures. La Bodega Steak & Wine House is centrally located in San José del Cabo’s historic Art District, making it yet another reason to go! Appetizers from $7 to $9 US; all steak cuts $30 US. Full bar and extensive wine list, bottles from about $40 to $150 US. Indoor and patio dining. Serving lunch 1 pm to 5 pm, and dinner 6 pm to 11 pm, Monday through Saturday. (624) 142-6619. P.M.K.

La Panga Antigua
A special night out is called La Panga Antigua in Cabo San Lucas. As soon as you enter the most charming open-roofed courtyard dining area, you are surrounded by warmth and comfort among the trickling water sculpture, the antique Mexican artifacts and furniture pieces, and the palapa awning over the upper veranda. If you decide on a glass of wine, instead of a bottle from the champion wine list that features ratings by Wine Spectator’s Robert Parker, you will be offered a tasting sip before your glass is poured, something I have never encountered in any other restaurant, an example of the impeccable service. The appetizer, soup, salad, and entrée menu, while not extensive, is certainly capable of making a selection difficult. Two young chefs, Paul Zamudio (age 25) and Claudia Castro (age 23), skillfully create, execute and present dishes of distinction and impress even the most discriminating palate. Srita. Castro’s organic lettuce mixture with caramelized nuts, bacon bits, goat cheese and an amazing sun dried tomato vinaigrette ($13.50 US) is truly an inspired crowd pleaser; Sr. Zamudio prepared my lacquered ahi tuna with Baja desert honey and soy sauce to perfection, ordered medium and arriving medium ($29.50 US.) Upon the chefs’ suggestion, I ordered the Chocolate Tamal for dessert. I bid you, follow their suggestion on this one. Total seating for about 400, including patio and upstairs veranda. Serving lunch Monday to Saturday, 12:00 to 5:00 pm, and dinner daily from 5:30 to 10:30 pm. All major credit cards accepted. (624) 143-6898. P.M.K.

Los Deseos
Along the aptly named Golden Zone, where you can watch the Cabo sun set over the hills of Pedregal, sits Los Deseos, one of Los Cabos’ most authentic Mexican restaurants. Overlooking the marina and feeling the soft breezes are just two more bonuses of dining at Los Deseos (The Dreams.) You’ll find some of the most interesting dishes at Los Deseos, beginning with such appetizers as Corn Sopecitos, a small circle of lime-soaked masa, fried and topped with beans, cheese, lettuce, veggies, and hot red sauce. Entreés include chicken, meat and fish dishes. The Pibil Chicken is slow-roasted chicken in achiote spice and orange juice, wrapped in banana leaves and red onion. An incredible taste and texture. The more familiar Mexican plates include fajitas, chimichangas, and chili rellenos, each in huge portions and rich in flavor. The woman at the next table, a native of México, told me the enchiladas were the best she’d ever tasted. Los Deseos is located on the Golden Zone, next to Puerto Paraiso. Seating for 130. Open daily from 7 am to 11 pm. Visa, MasterCard and American Express accepted. (624) 145- 6020. P.M.K.

Mango Cantina

Médano Beach Club
Formerly known as Las Palmas, next to ME Cabo on Médano Beach, this in-the-sand eatery has been newly named Médano Beach Club. Don’t worry if you want to keep your toes clean, for seating is also offered on the sheltered deck where viewing swimmers and water sports can be done with ease.

Dine under a huge air-conditioned palapa, or on the magnificent cantilevered terrace. Either place, you’re in for a treat.
