A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

When we picked Ventanas del Mar, we thought it was going to be like some of the places we went to in Cabo. It wasn’t. Tierra del Sol is a private gated community where you can buy or rent homes. When we arrive, it seems desolate- there is no one when we pull up to the restaurant, and when we walk into the restaurant, there are only two other tables sat. There is a great performer singing, playing the piano and throwing in some trumpet. The two tables clap after every song, which is nice, but when the song ends and you’re mid bite, some times clapping can be awkward.

The restaurant partially overlooks a pool area that is well kept.

The rest of the restaurant overlooks the island’s only 18 hole golf course. We catch the tail end of the sunset, which is beautiful.

The scenery here is beautiful – it is warm on the patio, but there is a nice breeze.

A little amuse bouche, their gazpacho with a garlic crouton.

Even though it is warm, I have the corn crab chowder ($12) served in a bread bowl. It’s  a little on the heavy side, but it is delicious!

I have the tiger shrimp, Garlic sautéed jumbo shrimps, fresh pasta, asparagus points, parmesan cheese, herbs in a lobster cognac sauce ($32). The meal is good, the shrimps are enormous and there is a good portion of them.

We also have the beef rib eye, Beef rib eye, garlic sautéed shrimps, mushrooms, in a caramelized onion sauce. Lovely presentation and the meat was tasty. Overall a good meal, the service was on point.
