Edith’s restaurant recently reopened on the road down to Medano Beach in Cabo San Lucas. It was also announced that the Edith’s Group (Edith Restaurante The Office, Don Sanchez, La Pintada, The Italian Job, La Coyota, Tres Sirenas) was the first restaurant in Los Cabos to receive a Five Diamond Rating. The first things you see entering the restaurant is the incredibly large round palapa that covers part of the dining area with brightly colored banners hanging down. The restaurant is surrounded by beautiful palm trees. The atmosphere is electric as there are table side creations being executed around the restaurant.
After ordering our drinks and receiving the extensive menu, we were severed a small amuse of vegetables, cheeses, tomato sauce on a tortilla chip. While looking over the menu, a server stopped by to describe the fresh fresh, lobster, and steaks available on the menu, including a huge tomahawk streak that could serve the whole table. The menu included offerings of appetizers, soups and salads, Edith’s Favorites with regional preparations, Catch of the Day with fish, shrimp, lobster and combinations and Miraflores Mesquite Grilled beef. While the selection was amazing and extensive, it was not inexpensive (just a warning).
It took us a while to make up our minds, but the table started with a variety of the different salad options. Lisa ordered the table side Caesar Salad; Beth ordered the Organic Market Salad and Greg chose the Organic Arugula Salad. While we were waiting a basket of fresh bread was served to the table. It was a pleasure watching the Caesar be made at the table with all of the right ingredients for the dressing. Being the odd man out, I wanted to have the Tuna Carpaccio, which was served with four slices of garlic cheese toast. Everyone was very pleased with their choices of appetizers.
Our selections for the main course were just as diverse. I ordered the Organic Chicken in a traditional Green Pipian Mole Sauce. It was served with a black bean and ash tamale. Both Beth and Lisa ordered the Baja Style Grilled Shrimp served smothered in a garlic sauce and with tomato, avocado and beans (but not for Beth). Greg chose the Fish Veracruz Style. The green sauce looked wonderful. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious with great presentation.
We had seen that they also had Bananas Foster made table side and so we couldn’t resist. We shared two orders and watched as the server poured the flaming brandy down a spiral peeled orange peel. The caramelized sugar with brandy that the bananas were cooked in was wonderful.
The valet parking at the door of Edith makes the visit to Medano simple and very convenient. Very much a place worth visiting for a special meal.
