Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had our wedding at NU and were extremely happy with the food, drinks, and service. We were so impressed, that we actually came back to NU for another dinner during our honeymoon in Tulum. NU has an amazing ambiance and atmosphere, especially once the sun sets! The dim lighting and candle lit dinner creates a really cozy and romantic environment. The mixologist- Noe made amazing drinks and was so kind. You could tell he really liked his job and was passionate about his craft! Another server, Eduardo was so friendly and offered great menu suggestions. Lastly, we really appreciate how hard working Jose was during our wedding- lets just say our wedding guests were asking for many tequila shots at the bar and he was always accommodating. Fernanda, one of the event coordinators with NU was really helpful and diligent during the planning stages of the wedding. If you're considering NU as a wedding venue- do it, you will not regret it!!! If you're considering NU for a fun dinner in Tulum- do it, you will not regret it!!

Restaurant with. A beautiful room. The welcome is warm, the music is not too loud and the menu is limited. There are only 6 starters and 4 main courses. On the menu my signature cocktails are offered but the restaurant can also make other cocktails and can offer wines by the glass or by the bottle. Although the choice is limited, our dishes were very good, but not very plentiful. On the other hand, the scoop of ice cream for dessert is delicious and very generous. We had a good time. Please note, you must park your car in a paid parking lot. No prices are displayed as is often the case in Mexico

The food at Nu was absolutely delish!!! Our highlights were the hamachi crudo, the carrots, the beef taco, the prawns and the short rib. My mom had the catch of the day (sea bass) and said it was superb. The music was great but not too distracting or overpowering when trying to have nice convo with my family.
Our server, Eduardo, was the best! He was super friendly and consultative in his approach. He was attentive and really went above and beyond recommending off menu items we could try.
Would highly recommend!

I booked this place a few months ago for NYE dinner for a prepaid price of 195 USD/ per person.
When I arrived at the place they told me there are no tables available at the moment (albeit I had a prepaid booking!) and I have to wait!
For how long?
The answer was “unknown” and that all tables are full.
After over 30 minutes frustrated wait I was finally allowed to sit at their bar, which by the way was totally empty - and was offered a drink (which was a welcome drink part of my package, nothing complimentary or so).
Still no sign of being seated at a table.
After a whole hour of frustration and being treated like sh.t, I could finally have my prepaid table. But by that time my whole evening, my NYE was ruined by them.
I wrote a few emails to those who made the reservation and took my payment but they didn’t even have the dignity to offer an apology.
As for the food it was total crap; 1 of the 5 dishes was a plate of tomatoes (nothing else), and the only meat dish was full of fat.
Avoid this place. Tulum has plenty of other options!

Dear Denise,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your recent visit to NÜ. We sincerely regret that your dining experience fell short of expectations.
We regret to note that your TripAdvisor history reveals that you rated 18 venues out of 22 reviews at level 1. This suggests a pattern of potentially unjust critiques aimed at harming businesses. We believe there may be an exaggeration or a deliberate attempt to damage reputations. We urge you to consider the impact such reviews can have on our establishment and others in the industry.
Nevertheless we understand your frustration regarding the delay in seating, despite your prepaid reservation, and the subsequent wait at the bar. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by your late arrival, which unfortunately disrupted our operations.
We also acknowledge your disappointment with our culinary offerings. While we understand that taste is subjective, we want to assure you that our menu is meticulously curated with locally sourced and fresh ingredients of the highest quality. Your specific feedback on certain dishes has been duly noted, and we will address it with our culinary team.
Sincerely,
The NÜ Team

This place is overrated.
The setting is absolutely lovely - open air, jungle vibe with cool design features - but the food and service are missing finesse.
We went for dinner and ordered the recommended number of appetizers and entrees and everything came out in a big rush with no time to enjoy our first course. In fact the food came out so quickly that it seemed like it was 90% prepared in advance. On top of the rush - it just wasn't that good. The lamb was really tough, with barely one bite per lollipop; fish crudo a little crude and the pineapple dessert had zero panache.
Service was extremely kind but not considerate of how to time out a meal.

Dear Anita,
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent experience at NÜ. We deeply regret to hear of your recent dining experience.
We're delighted to hear that you found the setting of our restaurant to be absolutely lovely, with its open-air jungle vibe and cool design features. However, we regret to learn that the food and service did not meet your expectations.
I would like to address your concerns regarding the pace at which the dishes were served. Our service model is structured to follow a timed sequence, and we communicate with the kitchen based on the completion of each course. If guests ever feel that the service is moving too quickly, we encourage them to communicate their preferences, allowing us to adjust accordingly. It appears there may have been a miscommunication in this regard, and we apologize if you felt rushed.
Your feedback is of utmost importance to us, as it allows us to continually refine our culinary creations and ensure consistently exceptional dining experiences.
As we strive to provide attentive and personalized service to all our guests, and it is disheartening to hear that we fell short on this occasion. We will address this matter internally to ensure that such instances are not repeated in the future.
We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back at NÜ in the future, where we aim to provide you with an exceptional dinner and a truly memorable experience.

Excellent sophisticated meal. Very fine food, with good vegetarian options too. Good service, friendly and efficient. The only criticism we had was that dishes were served a bit too quickly. We could have easily spent more time here, the setting is lovely.
I had the chargrilled carrots and the broken beet. My husband had the hamachi tiradito and the black cod. All cooked to perfection.
It’s on the higher price end here, but you get value for your spending.

Great find. My wife and are service people and are always seeking exceptional experiences. NU exceeded our expectations. Noe (the bartender) was outstanding. He is a master of his craft and it shows in all the details of his work. Cocktails are unique flavorful and the entire presentation was 10/10. The food is beautiful, simple and perfectly prepared. Because the food isn’t overly complicated the execution of the the details are exactly as the should be. Wood fired, fresh, outstanding. We had the Prawns, Fresh catch, and stuffed chili. Fresh ground tortillas served with the chili were the best we had on our trip. We visited many different restaurants all
of which had great reviews in varying price ranges. This was by far the best experience of our trip. Highly recommended. Ask for Noe and let him lead the way.

T and I visited Nu twice whilst on holiday in Tulum, staying at it's next-door sister hotel Radhoo.
Staff and very friendly and helpful. Menu is small plates but thankfully (Arca take note) if you ask, the delivery of the plates will be staggered so you don't end up finishing an expensive dining experience in 20 minutes - excellent!
The food is delicious - Michelin quality. Recommended!

We made a reservation here for our Christmas Eve meal with the whole family. The restaurant looks very nice and has that typical style that all hotels and restaurants have. We liked it a lot. Everything was fine at first, but the drama started with the wine. They didn't have the first wine we ordered, and then the second one too. They actually didn't have anything on the menu. They then forced us to order the wine they did have, which was of course much more expensive. The staff seemed a little overwhelmed, the manager unfriendly and he incited the situation rather than defused it. The food was delicious, but we were not at all satisfied with the treatment. It costs so much money, you really have to expect better treatment. In all the other restaurants we visited in the ten days we were treated in a friendly and courteous manner, but here arrogance seems to be the keyword. I felt a little sorry for the waiter, he was nice but overwhelmed and couldn't help it, but the management is not good. The waiting times were also extremely long!

In summary, food is good, service was mixed (Alexis/Luis) and drinks were relatively okay. Ambience was great (love musicians, beautiful restaurant). Honestly, everything seemed above average in general until one incident, that quite honestly ruined the experience for me.
We had the aguacate laminado cold appetizer and i would say it's a must have. Delicious. I could drink that tamarind sauce from a bowl (not sure why they call it tamarind kimchi in the description since it is nothing of the sort, but it is delicious)
The other appetizer were the grilled oysters which were fun, different than others we've had and quite flavorful.
The main dishes were the fish with vanilla, and the duck with mole. The fish was still most, well prepared, good flavors in general; but I'd say the onion foam was what made the fish stand out.
The duck was medium rare as expected, and the mole was delicious. We also had some small fist sized tortillas to eat the duck with, which were also great and wrapped in a napkin, inside of a gourd. Imagine having your duck tacos (maybe 2-3 slices of duck every time), enjoying the dish as it should be, and then realizing that there were only four tortillas, and still having around 3 duck slices. Of course, we had already tried the duck by itself, and the tortilla made a big difference. We asked if we could please have one additional tortilla and the answer was basically that we needed to order an extra set of tortillas for an additional cost. I insisted that i only needed one, and still it was the same response. Honestly... I was taken away of the fantasy of the experience. There was no way nobody can have that dish without having to stuff at least 4 pieces of duck in each tortilla... And even so, nobody knows it's 4 tortillas at all.
It's not about just getting one tortilla, but how it affected the experience and changed the dynamic of us in the restaurant. One moment I was enjoying, and even thinking about ordering a couple of more dishes, and in another i was feeling like I was being squeezed for money from an either poorly designed dish, or a restaurant policy created to get more money without caring for customer experience. It might sound dramatic, but it actually made us want to stop, not order anything else and leave.
However, we actually had a good finish (shout out to Luis, who read the situation while we were paying and really listened). He realized this was a dinner to celebrate a special occasion, and that on top of that we were staying in a hotel from the same group. He offered a complimentary dessert and digestives, and was quite understanding.

T and I visited Nu twice 12 months ago, and based on our experiences of great food and service we couldn’t wait to go back on our second night Tulum earlier this week. The service is still excellent - friendly, genuine staff. However, both our main courses were disappointing. I’d prefer not to go into detail here as all venues have off-days, but if the management from Nu would like to contact me directly I will explain further.

We had high hopes for this restaurant based on the reviews but everything was just okay with the food and service. The setting is lovely.
The food was creative but we felt it did not have a lot of flavour. The service was okay but not as good as places like ARCA.
I would look into reservations as they seemed to host a lot of weddings when we were there.

This was my second visit dining at Nu as a solo traveller, the last time was in Nov 2021.
The restaurant has had a refurb and it is amazing, I had such a fabulous evening.
I asked to be seated at the Bar area, more social when travelling solo.
ALL the staff, including the Bar tenders really looked after me. So kind, friendly and attentive and made me feel super comfortable and at home. The only reason why I had to call it a night was because I was exhausted.
I cannot comment on their cocktails as I wasn’t drinking on this trip. However watching the barmen in action, they really do know what they are doing so I would recommend any/all their cocktails.
But I did enjoy a dish from each course, the dessert was absolutely delicious, pineapple something 😊. My starters were delicious as well, I think I had the ceviche. I love ceviche.
Thank you to Leo, the other barman (I have forgotten your name), all the waiting staff, the chefs, the maitre de - for your kindness, hospitality and showing me a wonderful evening. I definitely recommend coming here for dinner and even a pre-dinner drink in their garden space.
Great ambience and music throughout the evening.
Beautiful setting throughout.
Thank you so much, Kunali

We had dinner here on recommendation of our hotel concierge - so glad we came. Our waiter Eduardo was fantastic - friendly, attentive and very knowledgable about the menu and helpful with recommendations. We started with some very interesting mezcal cocktails. They have a very interesting menu focused on local indigenous ingredients and a wood fired grill. We had small plates of sweet potato agrodolce and wood fired quail - both amazing. For entree we shared a sea bass that was just great. The whole meal was a wonderful mix of interesting flavors and textures. The open air space is comfortable and inviting and feel upscale. The staff were uniformly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Things do not bode well when you start with a $!5 drink with no discernable alcohol.
The staff is more concerned with looking sleek with 15 BMI wait staff all in black than with good food. Appetizers were decent, though small in size. Almost $20 US for five rock shrimp. They were well cooked with an interesting pair of sweet and hot sauces, but nothing new or unique and, hey, how much would it cost to throw a few more in. Similarly, the avocado roll with kimchi had pleasant but not surprising flavors, and little of the heat kimchi normally promises. Both of these, however, were adequate. The mains, however, were ridiculous, and not in a good way. Elote corn with lobster should come out with the corn kernels firm, kissed by cotija, lime, peppers. It was overcooked and mushy. Conversely, the lobster should be succulent and moist, and came out dried out and overdone. Who in Mexico can’t grill an ear of corn? The duck breast in mole was a series of missteps. First, the mole was thick and had the texture of wallpaper paste and had bitter aftertones. The duck – which the waitress said was from California (amazing when duck is all around in the Yucatan) -- was overcooked and thus chewy and simultaneously not kept on the right level of heat long enough properly to render the fat.
I know that most of the reviews are positive, but I suspect that’s because when you pay $125-$150 for a meal that leaves you hungry, you have a hard time admitting it, well, sucked.
We were still so hungry we walked five minutes down the road and split a pizza. I’m not kidding.
