   Very friendly service and comfortable atmosphere. The food was rather average, sadly.

   Fantastic dinner at The River Cafe. They went out of their way to make my husband’s birthday special. Will definitely be back.

   Restaurant was nice. The service was slow and we were only one of 3 parties in the whole restaurant. They are a restaurant that tried to be high end but failed at it. All 4 of our meals were not what we were expecting. The chicken fajitas were dry, the Caesar Salad is 3 romaine lettuce leafs. The chicken pasta had the pasta really undercooked and the lamb lasagna was decent at best.

   Good 👍 food 🍱 and drinks🍹are to be found at this nice staple of beautiful 🤩 downtown Puerto Vallarta. A varied menu with Mèxican and International specialties. All served with a picturesque view. A little addition; this would make the perfect spot for a late - night piano 🎹 bar .

   We were early for our reservation. No problem. The service was rapid and friendly. I had the gambas appetizer and it was like in Madrid but good. I also had the Tuna Caprese main dish which was very nice. Very rare tuna served over grilled tomatoes and goat cheese. The recommended Mexican white wine was a very nice chenin blanc. Chocolate lavender cake and ice cream topped it off well. Really good value.

   Great restaurant. You are greeted immediately and made to feel very welcome. The service is impeccable. Benjamin our server is super. He is efficient, friendly amd knowledgeable. T he gazebo is a perfect place. The salsa was perfect thanks to Benjamin’s expertise. The fish and chips were delicious as was the calamari. This is a must place to visit.

    One of our favorite restaurants. The river setting is lovely. The food was very good, although a bit pricey. Excellent live music from the bar at the entrance added to the ambience. Service was excellent as usual.
