    Everything was spectacular from the time the host is greeted us at the door, to looking out across the cityscape from the balcony where we sat to the exceptional mariachi band that serenaded us throughout the evenings meal. Highly recommend as a place for special occasions and romantic dinners.

    Very lovely service. The lobster was slightly overcooked which was a bummer. Cocktails didn’t disappoint. Salad was good. Service was 10/10

    We went to the Iguana Restaurant to celebrate a friend's 50th birthday in Puerto Vallarta on Jan 9, 2025. The restaurant had a wonderful view from the hillside of the mountains and lights. The service was impressive, from the hostess, to the servers and our waiter (Salvador). He answered all of our questions, provided suggestions and helped with modifications of menu items. We ordered the steamed clams, braised short ribs, lobster tail, fish, mojitos and daiquiris. All of our food was 10/10! I can't recommend this beautiful restaurant enough. The prices were reasonable, especially for the level of service, the ambiance, the type of food, and the location. If I am ever in Puerto Vallarta again, I am definitely coming back!
