This was our second time dining at El Cielo, and it was even better than the first time. Our server - in fact, all the staff - seemed to really enjoy being there and taking care of us. The description of each of the 20 or so courses of "The experience" was lovingly presented. I couldn't pick a favorite if I tried - every one of them was fantastic. Drinks were beautifully crafted and whimsically served. We also had the optional caviar service, which was worth it! Over the course of three hours, We were entertained by the stories of the food, and indulged in absolutely fantastic flavors. We drank black coffee brewed at the table (acccompanied by a story) and had chocolate poured over our hands. Overall a marvelous experience, well worth the cost of admission. If I were the Michelin reviewer, I would have awarded three stars! The space is beautifully decorated, with the bar at the rear displaying all its bottles along with innovative decorative glasses and containers. And as a bonus, parking is free!

Absolutely fantastic. No surprise there. They mak e a great ambiance and do a wonderful job of making a scene around the food, not just putting the food in front of you.
Parking: There is a large 3 hour free lot a block away.

This place was good but it didn’t blow me away. I celebrated my 31st birthday at EL Cielo, hoping to feel extra special (considering we paid for the birthday add on) and was expecting a superb culinary experience. I’ve honestly had better in South Africa for less than a quarter of the price and if we’re comparing locally, Pineapple and Pearls was more memorable mainly because everything came together beautifully and was executed without a flaw. It’s the same price and if I were to pick between the two, I would pick P&P. I didn’t feel much sincerity with the EL Cielo staff. I felt they got tired midway through the experience and would just set dishes down on the table without much context. I also didn’t know when the experience started and/or ended - a bit choppy. There were delays between dishes and the servers would always go back to the kitchen to retrieve something they had missed. They also weren’t aware it was my birthday until I asked what the “birthday experience” included. One thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was how the server gave me a goody-bag at the very end but left my mother out.
I’m giving them 4 stars because they did put in effort and the food was delicious and nicely presented. Loved the animated papaya cocktail but they still have a long way to go. Was I appreciative of the time and intricate culinary detail? Absolutely! Would I ever dine here again or recommend to a friend? Probably not🐯

It was almost amazing. I'm a pescatarian and messaged the restaurant 48 hrs in advance. They said they could accommodate me, but when I arrived- they had no idea I was pescatarian. I hate feeling bad about my dietary choices, that's why I message ahead. I can just go elsewhere. They figured out it. My main course what halibut, my favorite. It was so salty, I couldn't eat it. Like, someone accidentally dropped it in salt- salty. The rest of the food was amazing.
I had high expectations coming to this restaurant, but left extremely underwhelmed. The food was average at best. Out of our ten courses, only three of them were protein forward. The other seven courses were mainly dessert. The chocotherapy dish is not something you’d expect at a Michelin restaurant - you basically have chocolate poured on your hands and massage it in and then you have to lick it off. For the price you pay, I expected more substantial dishes vs dessert dishes.

Extremely underwhelming. We came for my bday dinner and left very shocked. We’ve been to numerous Michelin rated restaurants and not really sure how this one received a star. 4 of the dishes on the 10 course menu were desserts and the last dish was a lotion…lol. Dishes were average at best and we didn’t enjoy two of the dishes and the waiter didn’t seem to care at all. This place is all hype.
