Having reopened following the devastation of Hurricane Odile in fall 2014, Pitahayas is back and better than ever. Its location at the Hacienda del Mar allows for breathtaking views of sunsets and moon rises over the Sea of Cortés, and its exceptional menu, outstanding service, and beautiful palapa roof elevate Pitahayas to the higher echelon of Los Cabos restaurants. Chef Romeike creates Pacific Rim dishes such as tempura of honey pineapple topped with duck prosciutto and a cream sauce with a nice but not-too-hot bite for starters. Roasted beet salad with arugula and wasabi dressing might follow. The seafood symphony of broiled shrimp, soft shell crab, and lobster satay with mango coulis is definitely a winner as are chicken bites prepared in a wok with a crispy vegetable roll, served with a cherry mirin (a sweet Japanese rice wine) plum reduction and mashed potatoes. Meat lovers can enjoy New York steak, lamb chops, and petite filet mignon grilled to perfection on the Pacific grill. Save room for zango banana cheesecake or share the trio of crème brûlée. Enjoy different live music nightly, including a marimba combo. For intimate dining, book the elegant wine cellar La Cava de Santiago, which houses 400 labels of domestic and international wines. For 14 years running, Pitahayas has been awarded the Five Diamond Award, and this past year, it earned the Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence.
