    Best restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. We eat there every year. It’s worth the traffic and time to get there. The food, ambiance, and scenery is superb. Thanks for another great evening.

    Great food: the spinach salad was awesome, I had the salmon which was really delicious. My date had the chicken and coconut prawns. Churro desert was perfect ending. Sat at water’s edge on the beach: perfect!

    Food was great but severely over priced. They don’t tell you what they are charging and just keep bringing out stuff. Beautiful place but feel taken as a tourist.

    Pretty restaurant with lots of beach seating. We were greeted at the front and immediately seated. The mock tails and appetizer (tuna) was fantastic. But the service was pretty bad, no one checked on us and when they did it felt as if they were annoyed about it. Dishes are quickly taken making the experience feel rushed. The risotto was very bland. Overall, not worth the $ and we will not be returning.
