    Coconut Shrimp, rice, sweet mango fruit salsa, Limonade

    Don't miss this lovely, romantic restaurant just off the malecon. Upscale atmosphere. Menu has nice variety of food that everyone can find something to enjoy. I went for the coconut shrimp and was not disappointed. Six large coconut encrusted shrimp with a great sauce served in an artful display. The Shrimp Bisque was delicious and I only regretted I didn't have more. The people do greet you with, "Welcome home," with genuine warmth. The relaxing atmosphere was that of a small romantic Bistro. I only wish I had room for the desserts. Fantastic value, wonderful service, unbelievably good food.

    The ambiance of this was great for a date night out or even a relaxed dinner with the family! The hospitality by the staff here was great and they make you feel very welcomed. If you're in search of a laid back easy going environment this is where you want to be! No loud music rather some slower jazz like music for a very chill and even romantic vibe depending on the occasion for dining here. Of course you can also have a serenata player for you from local musicians that come offer the service in the restaurant. They've been doing it since 1996! The food itself tasted like it was prepared by a chef from a cooking show or something because everything was delicious, these guys didn't miss on anything. Strongly recommend the pasta or coconut shrimp, the coconut shrimp was the best coconut shrimp I've ever had hands down. The shrimp were huge and the breading wasn't heavy or thick, it was very crisp and has a flaky but crunchy coconut layer outside and the presentation of it in a coconut, AMAZING! The pasta is really the best past I've ever had I'm not exaggerating DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET THE PASTA! I've been to several Italian restaurants in Arizona and this beats them all. My girlfriend ordered pasta and we shared food with one another and left this placed STUFFED. It is near the Malecón but in a quieter side of it across the street from a church and thrifty ice cream. The ingredients that were paired in every plate of food we had were assembled by a kitchen staff that really has a passion for making great food for others. To also mention everything is reasonably priced and the price is great and absolutely fair relative to the hospitality and extremely attentive service. The salad was fresh, cold, and had crispy vegetables. The best part was the dressing and you can really appreciate the effort put into the authenticity and presentation of the food. The calamari is served ring style with a red sauce that is paired great with the cold, freshly cut lemons. The lemonade was very fresh and refreshing with a lightness to it and not at all like a fake lemonade. With the shrimp order I had the choice of a salad or shrimp bisque and I will say I don't regret getting the bisque personally, it was definitely tasting like a warm, homemade, bisque and the shrimp flavor was not overpowering. The waiter will also offer you pepper out of a pepper grinder and the staff is so polite, professional, and hospitable you feel great dining here. The bread and olive oil with garlic was great as the bread was warm and sliced into a couple slices I can respect that they didn't bring a lot of bread out to get full off of bread it was a great appetizer that was include with the meal. I've found one of my new favorite spots in Peñasco, it really is a hidden gem hosted by gentlemen who treat their guests with the best service and we were also greeted by who I believe was the owner he was a very humble and welcoming man as was his staff. We will definitely be stopping by again when we're back in town. If you want to get away from the nightlife and still have a great bite, this is where you want to be.

    Cioppino

    Amazing food. Always. Tonight I had the seafood cioppino and my husband had the stuffed flounder. Both were absolutely phenomenal as usual. We would highly recommend this place. And if you like unique, salad dressings, definitely try the cilantro dressing. It is phenomenal.

    Yummy empty clam shells!

    Omg! Loved clams, Mexican cocktail and the garlic bread, beautiful ambience. Service amazing!

    Neptune Plate

    Looked up Yelp reviews and saw the Blue Marlin with great reviews. Tried it tonight and it was amazing!!! We sat outside and had a view of the ocean.

    Everything about this place is what you're looking for. Everything about this restaurant was phenomenal! Make time to eat here during your trip. The service, the food, the ambience is everything I wanted when I visited. Puerto peñasco is a seafood town so of course it's required to try a different seafood restaurant each night we were there. The seafood was fresh and cooked perfectly. They definitely didn't over cook their seafood which we all know will be rubbery if they do. We had steamed clams which were brought out with a garlic butter. Garlic lovers this appetizer is a must. I even asked for extra garlic bummer. Yumm. We also has the calamari and scallop ceviche. Again everything was cooked right. Calamari wasn't rubbery. For my main course, I had the shrimp stuffed with bacon and cheese and holy hell was that too good. I want to go back already. I again highly recommend you stop at this hidden gem. Enjoy!

    Food was the best out of all 3 seafood restaurants we went to during our stay in Puerto Penasco. Everything was on point and fresh. The staff was very attentive as well.

    The Seafood Tower, just enough for four people.
    Laura D.

    This is a romantic restaurant with the best seafood in Puerto Peñasco. Small and intimate and a nicely attentive staff but not overbearing. Get the Neptune platter for two and enjoy with white wine or a beer. You will not believe the bargain price for the experience. Mucho gusto!

    Hubby & I had dinner here tonight. We wanted to try this place when we were here in Oct, but I…read morepicked Wednesday to try it & they are closed on Wednesday. We are so glad we got to try it. We were the only ones in the restaurant when we went. The young girl who took care of us was great! She was friendly & super sweet. Hubby got a Michelada & added a shot of Tito's since there was no alcohol in the tomato juice part of the drink. He said it was really good. My sangria was good. It's made with pineapple juice. We ordered the chips & salsa. We also ordered the guacamole. The chips & salsa were good. I was happy there was no heat in the salsa since I am a huge whimp when it comes to spicy food. The guacamole was really good after we added some salt & lime juice. I normally don't eat guacamole, but I liked it too. We went "out of our box" & tried the whole fried fish. We split it. We asked her to add rice & beans if it didn't come with it. It was huge. The fish was fried perfectly! Hubby loved it. I liked it too. It was moist. The rice was good. The refried beans were excellent! I don't know what they do, but the texture & flavor was the best we have ever had. I loved them. We will definitely make this place are go to when we come down again. Please note tips are cash only in case you don't carry cash!

    My review was 4 years old. Just ate there again last nite and nothing has changed. Great food and…read moretop notch service. Hubby and daughter shared the giant platter which they loved. I have Carlos V shrimp, something new for me. Such generous portions, you'll leave her 10lbs heavier. Allegedly they have dessert but too full to try. This place is really small, so if there's a big party you're SOL. We never leave PP without eating here, we love it so much
