We came here as a party of 4 for my friend's 40th birthday around 6:30 and caught the most amazing sunset. They had a professional photographer take a complimentary photo for us. The service was impeccable, so welcoming and sweet! All of our dishes were so good. We ordered: octopus, seafood croquette, egg potato, potatoes brava, asparagus, white sangria. The octopus was so tender (maybe the best octopus dish that I've had) and the seafood croquette just melts in your mouth. There was not a dish that I did not like. For dessert we got the orange flan which was so yummy and delightful. and the chocolate lava cake. The sunset view was gorgeous! And the price was very reasonable - we got drinks, dinner and dessert, and the total came out to be $44 per person. I hope to be back!

The food is always excellent -- classic tapas done right and some of the best paella we've had in Puerto Vallarta. We came in for an early dinner around 5:30pm in January specifically to catch the sunset, and it was absolutely worth it. By the time we left, the restaurant was completely full -- that should tell you everything. The views are stunning and add so much to the overall experience. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely sweet. Don't skip the complimentary photo session -- it's a fun touch and they make it effortless and relaxed. This is one of those places we always return to when we're in Puerto Vallarta. Great food, beautiful views, consistent quality, and a welcoming atmosphere every single time. Highly recommend.

I must have walked past this small restaurant 100 times without noticing it. Fortunately a…read morerestaurant group I belong to gathered here for dinner one Friday night. Actually so many members wanted to dine in this rather small spot that our group had to split up, with half attending on Friday evening and the rest of us going on Saturday. Well, it was definitely worth the wait. The restaurant is located on the street heading directly to the pier, just up a few doors from Dee's Coffee House. The menu is mostly tapas and wine. Every single item served to our table was a huge hit! Portions are modest, befitting a tapas menu. The food is as beautiful to see as it is delicious to eat. Please save room for dessert, as if you have a sweet tooth it will be well served. The wine list features very wide price points. The house wine is French, with the more expensive wines being of Mexican origin. It is all good, and the house wine is a bargain. The restaurant is cute, but not especially fancy. Certainly you can come in shorts and not be stared at. There is air conditioning! Service was friendly and helpful. After dinner stroll the half block over to the pier for a romantic end to a nice evening.

We sat on the deck, but being somewhat late (8pm or so) there wasn't much to look at, views are nice during the daytime however Service was a bit slow but not a big deal. No wine list but they have Malbec and Cabernet, or some whites. Which was weird because it's connected to a restaurant called Burgers and Wine, they're the same place, we ordered off both menus, so if it's a wine place it's weird not having a wine list? Ordered the mussels and the sabrosada to start. The sabrosada is 2 little breads with chorizo pate and Brie. Good, not earth shattering The mussels were amazing. Ina spicy chorizo broth, served w bread, they were very large compared to what we get at home (menu didn't say what kind of mess they were) and there were 9 or 10 of them, and was only about $7 US. We pay double to triple that at home dorm much smaller mussels Added on the beetroot salad, was okay, the dressing I didn't care for but it was good enough. Large portion of goat cheese on top. Breaded. And then the slider trio. Ordered medium, came medium to medium rare which was perfect for me. They were fine. The classic and the blue cheese one with caramelized onions tasted basically the same. The steak one was interesting, tasty. No substitutions or add on a for the classic, unlike if u are ordering the full size Wine ended up only being like $4US per glass, the pours were kind of on the small size tho. Overall it was pretty good! Good option if u want to get away from resort buffets for a change

We were here early for dinner (~6:30-7pm), but they have live music sometimes around 9pm. We stopped here as it looked like they have some good small plates to share, and specifically some ceviche that looked good. Unfortunately they were completely out of the ceviche and all seafood on the menu which was a disappointment (and hard to understand seeing that it was on the early side of dinner). We enjoyed the meat skewers and the traditional chili spiced beef taquitos, but the salad with fried manchego was just OK. Drinks were a highlight, particularly the mojito which was well-balanced. They seemed to push sandwiches from the lunch menu which was confusing as we were there for dinner.

Sure, why not, I'm a bit burned out on seafood and tacos. Beautiful open air style restaurant overlooking the marina. Likely the sweetest location for a restaurant in town. Lots of high powered fans to keep air moving and maintain a comfortable environment. Staff were all very personable and funny. Our server went out of his way to learn our names and where we're from and even introduced us to other staff. Good service, though they could have been quicker to get our check after boxing up our leftovers. I had a pepperoni pizza. It appeared to have been cooked in a wood oven, but I'm not certain. It was pretty good and exceeded my expectations, but not nearly as good as some of the -za I've had in the states. Also tried the beef medallions. Super tender with a tasty brown sauce. Highly recommend the fried mozzarella appetiser, it was fantastically decadent. Bread was also pretty good and was served with a red pepper sauce and also a pesto. Virgin pins colada was also pretty good. I'd say this is a must stop if you're in La Crux for more than a day.
