Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Nuevo Vallarta

Came here for my birthday to celebrate with my partner everything was amazing even the wait time was worth a wait as there is a bartender in the front serving drinks as you wait, so accommodating the service. Food was amazing . Everything about it was so special . 

What a great dining experience in this hidden gem in puerto vallarta. The service, the ambiance and the great food created an incredible and memorable experience. Every dish was creative and amazing. The lobster was amazingly prepared and so was everything else. The three in front of the restaurant and roots of the three in the floor of the entrance make an incredibly beautiful entry and first impression. With that said the food is the center of the experience. All the dishes we had were amazing, pared with incredible wine. Go a little out of the way and try this amazing restaurant ! It’s an incredible and differentiated experience.

We love the food at Nicksan. Lots of choice and nicely presented.

Overall, Parottfish is a beautiful restaurant, with an open kitchen and additionally, a lovely garden area. I had two negatives….could have done without the big screen TV’s with sport (does not really fit the elegant interior) and the music was quite loud. That said, our server, Frida, was lovely. We had the duck tacos and serrantino roll, and both were delicious. There were several other dishes we would have tried….the menu is varied but more on the sushi, sashimi side. It was a birthday celebration, and we were treated to tempura Oreos with vanilla ice cream, a dessert that we would never have ordered. But would definitely order in the future. We also ordered the chocolate, caramel, orange cake, which was good but would not repeat. The photos are of the desserts. We will be back. Our meal with drinks and tip was $64 USD for the two of us.

10/10 would recommend for those who want local yet not traditional, elevated food for a great price. Service and ambiance were perfect. Food was delicious including: grilled lettuce wedge salad, fries, American bbq ribs, huitlacoche with babaganoush. Signature cocktails were great if a little sweet. Wine was good by the glass but not as special as the food.
