This is a higher end restaurant with a really wonderful ambiance. They have a decent wine selection including Gewurtztraminer! Cloth napkins, music levels quiet and appropriate, great lighting and the food is very good. The steak au poivre being the only exception in that you won't find one peppercorn on there.

Entertainment & Activities
If you have never been to a movie in Mexico you are in for a treat. Pay the extra buck or two for the VIP showings (at most 8 bucks). These theaters sit you in mechanical lay-z-boy oversized chairs complete with a blanket which you ask for as you go in. There are menus where you can choose typical movie food from as well as sushi and the cocktail of your choice all delivered to you in your seat!
