Quinto at Vidanta Riviera Maya

Here in off season. Opened El Qunito early for only us. Manager left the restaurant to come to adjacent bar where he had us wait. Not common fare. Displayed all the cuts of steak and explained them. Grilled broccoli and asparagus with two sauces. Chef desserts paired unusual ingredients together.

Food was marvelous as were the staff and the manager each time we went to this restaurant during our week. We loved the lamb chops, lobster Mac and cheese, brie appetizer, and creamed spinach+feta. Gorgeous view and cocktails!

The serf en turf was the best cooked lobster i have her had as well as the best cezar salad I have ever had , but also my steak was better then my partners rib eye ! Delicious!!

The breakfast buffet was as beautiful as it was delicious. The server we had was one of the most hospitable people I've ever met. I forgot his name but my friend said he reminds him of curly from the three stooges

This place was so elegant. 👌. I love the food. The atmosphere was to die for and the drinks were strong.

We had the buffet breakfast and came back for dinner! Food, service and atmosphere were superb!

Great food. New restaurant at the resort that focuses on steak. The most unique thing we saw on the menu was bone marrow risotto and wagyu steak. We were able to get a same day reservation for 630PM through the concierge service.

Good breakfast served buffet style. Great breads. Beautiful view, especially ir you are sitting upstairs.

Quinto was delicious! My ribeye was prepared exactly as I ordered it and the roasted brussel sprouts were amazing! Add to it the nice ambience...it's worth the trip. Only thing that would have made Quinto even better was some background music.

The BEST meal of the whole vacation! The staff were courteous & attentive. Marco made wonderful speciality margueritas! For an appetizer we shared the Rib eye crisp. The rib eye melted in your mouth & the spicy guacamole was a perfect compliment. Petit filets for entrees were perfectly cooked & accompanied with mash potatoes & maple glazed Brussels sprouts . Overall a great meal & atmosphere

The food was absolutely outstanding. Top notch services from the very beginning. Fernando was our server and did everything he could to make sure our experience was nothing short of the best.

amazing. sit in carlos' section and try the ribeye cap and add the lobster..amazing.. great wines under 40 bucks.. wow.

Food was excellent. The ribeye was huge enough for 2 people to share. Service was excellent and ambiance was great

Quinto was amazing. Service is incredible and food is so delicious. Maximiliano (apologies if spelled incorrectly) was the best. We will absolutely be back.

Excellent food and great wait staff and ambience! A bit pricey but worth it!

The breakfast buffet was amazing especially if you had a discount. it was worth every penny. We ate out final dinner there and had the clam chowder and it was amazing. They spared no ingredient as well as put their heart into that steak and lamb. I will say being in Mexico my stomach did not agree in lamb but I truly enjoyed it everytime I ate it. We were celebrating our honeymoon and it was well worth the price. They gifted us a dessert tray which was beautifully made a tasted amazing.

I have to say that this restaurant at the resort was by far the best restaurant we have eaten at in many years it was the only restaurant that had good wine in the whole Resort and had an excellent staff. I'm in the restaurant business and the manager and the staff are very well trained and very well supervised. The food was excellent here as well as the atmosphere. The building is air-conditioned which makes things much more pleasant the food was definitely the best quality at the whole Resort. I would give this restaurant 10 Stars if I could and the management and staff the wine was good we had the Santo Tomas wind and another Chilean wine which was excellent. My wife and I are real foodies so it is very important that you eat at this restaurant you will not be disappointed I guarantee it this will pull a bad day into a good day trust me. The buffet in the morning was amazing to at this location has everything you would expect at a buffet if you want to order bacon you just let him know you would like bacon. If you want something special then we'll make it for you.

I sussed out this restaurant prior to my arrival from the UK and it didn't disappoint I ate here twice during my stay once with a random couple I got speaking to and again the following evening solo the food is fantastic and the service is impeccable sadly I can't return to the resort for another 3 years but when I do return I'll be sure to visit this restaurant

We had an excellent dinner here. Prices are expensive but the food and atmosphere is worth it. Service was very good also (Jorge was our server).

Chef Charlie and staff cooked the rare steak and the shrimp perfectly! The small sorbet cones were a lovely end to the meal. Tonatiuh and Hose were excellent servers.

Staying at Grand Bliss & had the most out dinner & service tonight. Consider yourself fortunate if Francisco is your server. Our Spanish is limited to ordering cerveza & counting to 20 (pathetic I know) and he was so helpful & knowledgeable. Ok…not a good time to give up carbs because the bread service is fantastic. Who can turn down a personalized Bar cart with specialty cocktails? Not us! Beautifully crafted. Delicious food & a great menu. A must while at Vidanta. General Manager Manuel stopped by our table 2x and was genuinely interested in our feedback. I was so full I could barely talk!!

Service by Alfredo was 5 stars. The food was out of this world. One of my favorite restaurants.

Absolutely beautiful. The food was excellent, and the view of the ocean was gorgeous. Alfredo was our host for the evening. He is very knowledgeable about all of the delicious entrees and also, was able to accommodate some of my restrictions. Will definitely go back for another dinner on our next Mexico vacation.

Amazing professional friendly what more could you wish for

Our server Angel was beyond amazing! I was super surprised to learn that he was only 2 months into being a waiter. His attention to detail, customer service, and courteous attitude made the night even better, after the PHENOMENAL food! This place is a MUST visit!

Delicious food and excellent service. The only issue was that it was really cold inside the building, especially since we were dressed for a warm evening out. However, and thankfully, our waiter accommodated us and raised the thermostat setting and it wasn't so cold. Again, delicious food and excellent service!

My favorite restaurant on the Vidanta property in Playa Del Carmen. It's the only place we went twice during our stay. All the meals we had were outstanding, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere was elegant.

Good Steak house ,Excellent service,Very nice view indoor and outdoor seating. Not the best Steak for the price bit good..

Fernando was our server, and he was amazing. Incredibly fast, polite, and informative. We sat upstairs and shared the meal, including the surf and turf. The food was good, but not as great as the price indicates. Bottled water, 1 appetizer, 1 entree, 1 side, 1 glass of wine, and 1 coke were $170. Atmosphere is very pretty, like most of the resort, but a little humid and stuffy.

Excellent service, nice ambiance. Clam chowder and beef soup were excellent. NY strip steak and salmon were good but the 25 oz. rib eye lacked flavor and was mostly fat!

Great steaks, excellent service

Lovely atmosphere. Nice variety in the menu.

The service and food was delicious..we had steaks one Ribeye, and the other NY Strip. Sides were enough to share, and the 🍷 we ordered was very good. I would've given a five star, but my steak was cooked slightly medium rare; instead of medium, they had to cook it a little more.

The food here was pretty good. The staff was extremely friendly as well. Our son was 1 year old at the time and they helped us carry our stroller up to the top floor. The view from the top floor is amazing. Over all good experience. Here are the things that I think could be improved. 1 - the prices are expensive for the food that you get. 2 - there were flies all over the place :/ when we sat down there weren’t any. But for some reason they needed to leave the deck doors open which gradually let one fly in at a time. They really bugged the people at the table next to us and they ask they waiter to close the deck doors and he said they couldn’t because.... no valid reason. So by the end of the night we were all swatting flies away from our meals. That was annoying. I wish the experience was better. Because the price was top dollar.

Fernando and Nico attended us very well. My NY strip was a touch past medium rare which was fine. But the cut of meat was not worth 950MX, too much gristle. However it was tasty and my wife's filet was very good. Overall, over-priced meat but maybe that's the going rate... Meh...

The grouper and mashed potatoes were good. The shrimp was so overcooked the tails wouldn't come off and they were so tough you couldn't bite into them. The grilled vegetables were cold. I sent them back. When they returned them to me, the wood platter was hot and the vegetables were still cold. I sent them back with the shrimp. My bill was $50 for fish, potatoes, and a martini. Beautiful interior. Overrated!!! Save your money.

Steak was adequate. Not great. Cesar salad is fantastic. My wife had lamb which was also mediocre at best. Many places with better value for sure

This is my 3rd time at this restaurant over the last 4 years. The first time was so amazing that I came back... And then when that was disappointing I gave them a pass and tried again this year. Nope. I guess maybe the good experience was the one off. We ordered the cheese empanadas... Those had the potential to be the best things we ate, but the dough was too thick and a bit overcooked so they were hard to swallow. The grilled oysters were underwhelming. The Cesar Cardini, which apparently just means it's served with a raw egg on top, was similarly not great, lacked any trace of anchovy, and was served without cracked pepper. We ordered 3 steaks, the ribeye was a grocery store thin cut with a lot of the silver skin fat, the two filets were ok but definitely not real steak house quality (and my med rare was definitely rare), maybe they could qualify for outback quality. The bearnaise sauce was inedible and the chili herb butter tasted like chili oil... Which is fine, I like chili oil, but it's not what was advertised. I also originally ordered the rack of lamb (since apparently they don't offer sirloin cap anymore) and was advised that they might have sold out (even though our reservation was like an hour after they opened and there were barely any other tables seated) but that he would check and could I give a backup? However, he never came back to tell me whether or not that was the case, so I had no idea until the food came that I was not getting my original order. I guess to round this out, the asparagus was bad, hard, and old. I couldn't bite through them. The risotto was really good but served cold. The wine had been left open too long and turned mostly to vinegar, and the s'more chocolate cake was one of the worst desserts we've had since we've been here... Even though they used a torch on the marshmallows, they did not melt or soften at all and it seemed like maybe they ran out of the normal chocolate cake with salted caramel advertised and replaced it with some sort of chocolate ganache covered fruit jello thing that did not pair well. Overall, $400 down the drain on a barely passable meal. Even my teenager wasn't happy. He finished half of his Mac n cheese and asked if he could leave... Plus they charged over $10 a bottle for their water bottles. Gamble on this place at your own risk.

Please read this review, and my goal is not to trash this restaurant, but our experience was absolutely horrific. For two people, it cost $360 with drinks, and we could have gotten a better meal at Outback Steakhouse. The ribeye steak was chewy and resembled something you'd find at a grocery store for about $15 USD, yet it cost me $90. It was very thin and tough, and despite ordering it medium rare, it came out medium. When I brought this up to the waiter, he brought out the same piece, extremely rare, and then even rarer on the second attempt. The manager's assessment that it was medium rare and I could tell he was lying to me so he didn’t have to deal with me anymore. Additionally, the steak was tough and thin. The lobster tail was overcooked, chewy, and had a fishy smell. At the very least, I expected them to comp the steak, but they didn't. Instead, the waiter had the audacity to ask for an additional tip. I suppose this is what you get when you dine at a steakhouse in Mexico, but the manager's handling of the situation was inadequate, and the food left much to be desired. I highly recommend you eat at a different restaurant. Not sure how this place got this many stars. Please don’t eat there

This rating was difficult to decide on because truly the food was delicious which would have merited 4-5 stars, however that evening I had food poisoning illness from the “daily catch”. Both the fish and lobster tail were a little rough which should have been a warning sign. I should add that I ate local food throughout the trip off site from Vidanta resort and was completely fine. This is the only meal and most expensive meal that made me sick. My husband and I ordered different menu items but shared everything except the catch of the day and I was the only one violently ill later that night and all through the next day. The servers were extremely kind. The restaurant did not make attempts to remedy the loss of time and money after this experience which is why I have a 3 star rating on service. Atmosphere was beautiful. The prices are expensive.
