Reviews
Also, at the beginning of the meal, they brought over a huge tray with different Premier cuts, including a 1.3 kg Porterhouse and a 1.2 kg Tomahawk. When the meal was served they offered finishing salt for my plate. Top notch experience thru-and-thru
The dishes are creative, delicious and visually stunning. They have a great wine selection aswell.
Highly recommended
The whole experience was more than worth the extra money since the restaurant is not included in the stay at the resort.
This is up there with some of New York City’s top steak house as far as quality of food.
After an hour of walking, getting lost, retracing our steps and finally finding the entrance, we got to enjoy a delicious and unforgettable Tomahawk steak dinner. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in Playa del Carmen. Trust me, it’s worth the trip if you don’t mind a walk.
How to Get Here
If you’re not staying at the resort, then be prepared for a bit of hassle getting in. Especially if you’re walking there by foot, read this to save yourself from some confusion. So they have a very strict security protocol and if you come by foot, be prepared to be stopped at the front gate which is at the very northern tip of the whole resort. At the roundabout, there’s a water fountain and a gate for cars. That’s how you know you’re at the entrance. If you come by foot, you’ll need to get signed in by the security guard, who might be confused as to why you’re there, but just say you’re here for dinner at Sal Cave Steakhouse. We couldn’t make a reservation because their phone number didn’t work, not sure why. A driver picked you up at the gate in a golf cart. Apparently it happens all the time. You can also take a taxi there which is probably preferred, but gotta earn than steak walking, am I right?
The Food
The Tomahawk steak is 1.35kg or about 3lbs. It’s enough to feed two people without appetizers and it’s comparable to the best steakhouse in NYC so you should definitely get it! We got three sides and three sauces, but IMO you can skip the sauces and just ask for all the flavored salts they have—coffee, hibiscus, citrus and chili salt. The grilled vegetable side dish was my favorite.
The Drinks
Definitely get a bottle of wine. They don’t serve wine by the glass unfortunately. The perfect steak needs its accompaniment of wine to elevate the experience. Do say no to the tequila if they bring a bottle of the Clase Azul because that has a $30 usd per glass price tag. The golden margarita was pretty good since it’s on the citrusy side.
The Rest
We liked our waiters a lot, very attentive to our needs. The place was quite empty even around dinner time. Not sure if it was because of the season or the day of week (Monday) or something else, but we really enjoyed the secluded feel. We did get hit with two taxes at the end which added about $50usd to the total balance, but with 2 desserts and coffees added on top of drinks, a steak for two and sides, the total was only $300usd which includes a 20% tip. Also let them know if it’s a special occasion because they’ll give you an edible plaque as well.
Hope you find the place and have a great meal!
