    Place is ok. I feel like it’s definitely overpriced for what it is. I think I would have felt differently about our overall experience if we weren’t asked to leave a cash tip on top of the 15% included “Service Charge” on our bill. That was really sketchy and confusing. Definitely felt like a scam to be asked to leave cash separately be the staff. They told us that the service charge (which was $78 of our bill) goes to the beach club which honestly isn’t our issue and made us feel weird at the end of our meal. I don’t think we’d return. I’ve heard better things about other local places without the hassle.

    Very poor experience. After I ordered a pre-dinner drink and my entree, I did not see my waiter again the entire evening until I had to find him to get my bill. Perhaps they don’t welcome solo travellers but it was very disappointing. Ended up having water with my entree. Beet salad was really good. Braised short rib was dry & underwhelming. I had even asked to speak w sommelier to order a bottle of wine. I look to go somewhere local each time I come to Punt Mita. I won’t be coming back here.

    Really creative food and absolutely delicious. Staff was friendly, restaurant was sexy, and the food was absolutely delicious. The beet salad was one of the best things I’ve had in ages.

    All the food was exceptional. I had the lamb shank entree and the catch of the day appetizer. Easily one of the better meals we had while in Punta de Mita. Only complaint was that the martini I ordered was small and tasted watered down, but no one comes to Mexico for martinis so hard to make a fuss about that.
