Chef Juan José Santiago oversees the menu at Los Cabos’ only live lobster house, where caramel-colored wood paneling mingles with repurposed ship pieces and views of the bustling Cabo San Lucas Marina to create an elegant, nautical-themed stage for a menu rich with seafood classics unbound by time or place. Is it any wonder this restaurant appears on so many must-visit lists? Santiago’s preparations range from the expected (thermidor, steamed, and grilled with garlic) to the inspired; try it with mild, roasted ajillo chile and garlic or with a spicy chipotle, plum, and tamarind sauce. Other menu highlights include traditional oysters Rockefeller, abalone carpaccio (a rare delicacy in these parts), and the Lorenzillo’s, a brochette of Angus beef and shrimp with bell pepper, onion, and bacon. Start with one of Lorenzillo’s signature oyster shooters made with tequila, followed by a Caesar salad made tableside and a shrimp cocktail. For an entrée, you can’t go wrong with any of the lobster preparations or the sea scallops and shrimp with white wine and garlic sauce. End the night on a high note: The Montecarlo dessert features crêpes suzette flamed with Grand Marnier. The team behind the upscale restaurant and more-casual downstairs oyster bar is committed to excellence when it comes to the execution of its dishes and customer service, always willing to address your concerns, assist in wine pairings, and answer questions about anything on the menu; they even keep additional clothing on hand to help patrons meet the dress code for its upstairs dining room.
