You’ll find Nick-San Palmilla at the Shoppes at Palmilla, which is along the Tourist Corridor in San José del Cabo. The recently remodeled location makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but with an excellent view of the Palmilla Bay and full moon landscapes. Compared to the original Cabo San Lucas location, Nick-San Palmilla is fancier with a more elegant ambience. Enjoy a long and relaxing lunch or dinner, with the advantage of having the same menu and specialties you could expect in Cabo San Lucas but in a more romantic and intimate scenario.

That transitions nicely into a chic, casual and cool soirée, with signature drinks and music from a DJ at Nick-San Palmilla’s new Privé Lounge, where cultures fuse in a sleek setting of atmospheric artistry. We started our dinner with a champagne cocktail—there is a champagne bar—and then we let ourselves once again get seduced by the chefs’ recommendations. We sampled a variety of sashimis.

The Sashimi Especial is a perfect choice, if you’d like to taste the special offerings such as Cilantro Sashimi, Serranito, Yuzu Especial, Hamachi Curry, and the Black and White. These pair perfectly with Nick-San’s house white wine. Then we continued with the Dynamite Scallops with Nick-San’s red wine, which is a great Bordeaux that is easy to drink and pair with many of the dishes. We’d suggest the ones we had that night: the Lobster Sambal, Serranito Roll, and Chasoba, a tasty green tea pasta with shrimp and curry. During our visit, we chose to skip dessert and instead indulge in Nick-San’s aged tequila. Since Nick-San has its own tequila brand, we figured we’d give it a shot.

We were pleasantly surprised to find a well-balanced bouquet. Boulevard Marina L10–L2, Área privativa Ap-15, Shoppes at Palmilla, San José del Cabo, Phone (624) 144-6264, www.nicksan.com. Daily 12:30 p.m.–10:30 p.m. Discover, MasterCard, Visa, and vouchers ccepted. $$–$$$$
