Sushi or Sushi & Lobster? Planning Dinner at Your Cabo Villa
Understand the two seafood dinner starting points, what adding lobster changes, and the details to confirm before reserving your villa meal.
For a sushi evening at your Cabo villa, the first choice is straightforward: a sushi dinner starting at $149 USD per person, or the sushi experience with an added lobster course starting at $250 USD per person. Both are starting points for a written proposal. Fish selection, portions, preparation and availability are confirmed before booking.
Request a sushi or sushi and lobster menu with your date, guest count and villa area.

| Experience | Starting price | Menu direction | Confirm in your quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sushi dinner | $149 USD per person | Nigiri and sashimi. | Fish selection, portions, courses and availability. |
| Sushi and lobster | $250 USD per person | Nigiri and sashimi, followed by a lobster course. | The sushi selection plus lobster preparation and portions. |
| Tuna cutting and tasting | Individually quoted | A chef-led tuna preparation and tasting request. | Format, fish, group suitability, preparation space and total. |
Starting prices are indicative, not an automatic checkout total. Your final quote depends on the menu, group size, date and availability. Ask for the full USD price and applicable fees, service details and optional extras. Drinks and styling are discussed separately.
Describe the sushi you actually want
“Sushi night” can mean very different things to different guests. If your group wants nigiri and sashimi rather than a menu centered on rolls, say that early. Mention whether you prefer a small selection repeated across the table or a broader tasting-style progression. The proposed format and portions should be written into the menu.
It also helps to name preferences without turning them into an assumed shopping list. You might ask about salmon, bluefin tuna, toro and local fish, then invite the team to propose the available selection. A named fish or cut is not included simply because it appears among the possibilities on the website.
If there is one ingredient your group would not want to substitute, identify it as essential. You can then decide whether a proposed alternative works for you before accepting the quote. This is clearer than discovering after booking that different guests understood the menu differently.
What adding lobster changes
The $250 starting option builds on the sushi experience. Think of nigiri and sashimi followed by a lobster course, with the actual sequence agreed in the proposal. It is not a promise of a particular lobster size, a whole lobster for each person or a fixed number of sushi pieces.
Ask how the lobster will be prepared, what accompanies it and whether the dinner will be plated or shared. These details help your group picture the meal and make a fair comparison with the sushi-only proposal. A photographed presentation is inspiration; your ingredients, setting and plating will vary.
A small-group planning example
Imagine six friends choosing one evening to stay at the villa. Four want a sushi-focused meal, one is especially interested in lobster and one wants to discuss a cooked alternative. Rather than requesting six identical “seafood packages,” describe the group and ask which arrangement is workable.
The useful comparison is then between complete proposals: the menu each person would receive, the service format and the final total. This example does not establish a minimum group size or guarantee mixed-menu availability. Those are questions for the team handling your date.
Prepare the property and your guest brief
Confirm that outside chef access is permitted and describe the kitchen, refrigerator space and dining area. Let the team know if you hope to watch part of the preparation; a kitchen suitable for making dinner may not have space for guests to gather around it. For a more complete property brief, use the private chef request checklist.
Clearly identify allergies, dietary restrictions and requests for cooked dishes before agreeing to the menu. Raw seafood carries foodborne illness risks; cooking thoroughly is the safest choice, and some guests should avoid raw or undercooked seafood. See the FDA’s seafood safety guidance, and ask your healthcare professional about personal concerns. No menu description is a safety guarantee.
Questions worth asking before booking
Are bluefin tuna and toro guaranteed?
No. They are selection options to discuss. Your written proposal confirms what is available and included for your date.
Is the tuna cutting experience included in sushi dinner?
No. Tuna cutting and tasting is quoted individually. If that is the experience you want, request it by name and ask for the format and scope.
Can we add cocktails to the meal?
You can request a private bartender separately. Share the meal timing so the drinks and dining proposals can be coordinated. Do not assume alcohol or bar service comes with the dinner.
When is the dinner confirmed?
Sending the form begins the enquiry. Your date is reserved only after availability and booking terms are confirmed. Review the menu, inclusions, final USD total and payment requirements first.
