This place is an absolute dream. The food, service, and atmosphere have an elevated but relaxed feel that truly makes this place special. Our server Raul was kind, attentive, professional and friendly. He ensured we had fantastic service during our day. Chef Kapo’s menu was fantastic- the ceviche was incredibly fresh and the sushi bowl had been executed wonderfully with fresh ingredients and great toppings. The bathrooms were also clean and well attended, and you truly can’t beat the view. I cannot wait to come back and hope to share with others my great experience on my social media channels. I will be back!

Went for the location. We got the two beach chairs to just lounge for the afternoon. Amazing amazing location wih a relaxing vibe. But the food was surprisingly good as well. To be fair I've never tried ohers, but the buffalo milk was fantastic. The chips and dip was even better. They fry the tortilla chips to perfection. Crunchy on the inside with just a little fluff left inside. The dip was glorious. The view and vibe was obviously the best you'll find in Catalina. Highly recommend Descanso! Pablo was also the best host. Thank you!
