To make a reservation, the system requires a non-refundable prepayment of $120 pesos per person for round-trip boat transportation. This amount is not refundable in case of cancellations or no-shows. If you hike in or arrive by your own boat, this payment will serve as a deposit and will be deducted from your bill on the day of your visit.

By making a reservation, you acknowledge and accept our reservation policies. Please visit our website for more information.

Please note; our weather and waves can change on a moment's notice. We may have to cancel the water taxi and close the restaurant if the waves are too high. This only happens occasionally but if we do you will receive a text on the phone number you leave with open table.

For Puerta Vallarta "a one of a kind" / off the beaten track by Mismaloya / a short 10 minute boat ride to the grill Outdoor - laid back / wonderful service / no rush Reservations needed / a couple of seating times each day Food pricing moderate / good portions / efficient and pleasant staff / we were a party of 12 / probably the best group experience of the week and this was the third year we have been back Not to be missed

Coffee was delicious, breakfast 10/10! They sell the ground coffee as well. We had the green chilaquiles and the waiters were attentive and accommodated our needs. Had the beet carrot and orange juice, very good. Relaxing view by the river outdoors. Highly recommended.
