My husband and I shared several tapas selections, including scallops and octopus. Our server was very knowledgeable about what to order and how much. We had the chocolate dessert combo-delicious.

Food was good, but really expensive. I've heard Deckman isn't all that nice to the locals. We did a tasting menu, and I am a vegetarian so there were limited options.

Amazing dinner! A fantastic Mexican dining experience not to be missed. Forget the menu, have Deckman and his crew bring out whatever the Chef likes. We had 7 courses with a shot of Mezcal to top it off. I took pictures of each course. I can't stop talking about what a great experience it was.

Had dinner at Deckman's last week and it was perhaps the 4th or 5th time we've eaten there. Drew Deckman's food just keeps getting better and better, and his inventiveness has redefined modern food in southern Baja. No wonder he's been asked to be a judge on Top Chef Mexico! Great atmosphere at the restaurant, and the service was flawless.... More

My dad and I came here back in December and I vowed to come back for my birthday in April. The food is that amazing! We got the seven-course meal and added on an extra course of foie gras. I definitely left there full! Each course is so elegant and the flavors and sauces match the main dish so perfectly.... More

Creatively prepared food and beautiful preparation. When there was a miscommunication about one of the dishes we ordered, Chef Deckman came out to our table to apologize and personally take care of us. The staff's commitment to making sure we had a great evening was exceptional. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

This restaurant is a must for the person who loves fresh ingredients, creatively prepared and beautifully presented in a relaxed, nice atmosphere with perfect service. Chef Drew Deckman is so passionate about every plate he prepares and his cuisine pushes boundaries - I had gazpacho with tempura barnacles, yellowtail, duck foie gras - every mouthful was pure gastronomic pleasure.

The food was a surprising mix between local food and different flavors. We were very happy to try new dishes, yet still feel like we were in Mexico

We had the most amazing and unique wine dinner at Deckman's. It was quite an experience. The atmosphere is very cool and the service was excellent. The food was too die for! Will definitely be back! I would highly recommend Deckman's!
