    From the second we walked in, the experience was top-notch. The hostess, Cynthia, greeted us with such a warm smile and sat us right away with the most stunning ocean view. The scenery was honestly breathtaking, it felt like something out of a movie! We ordered the Tomahawk steak and lobster tails, and wow, they were both cooked to absolute perfection. The steak was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, and the lobster was buttery and delicious. Easily one of the best meals we've ever had on vacation Our servers, Jonathan and Erick, were absolutely incredible. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and made us feel so special the whole night. Their service alone made the dinner worth the trip. Between the views, the atmosphere, and the outstanding service, Le Kliff completely exceeded our expectations. Definitely one of the best dining experiences we've had in Puerto Vallarta. Can't wait to come back!

    Passion margarita

    If you're looking for a place with amazing vibes and great photo opportunities, this is the spot. Came here from a recommendation from a friend, not only is this place beautiful but they really go out of their way to make you feel special. The night we went someone actually gotten engaged and they went all out on the decorating and planning.(kinda jealous). The drinks were amazing. I had the passionfruit margarita first and then the cucumber margarita after. If I could drink the cucumber, margarita by the gallon, I would. I highly recommend going around sunset the view was unbelievable. Now to the food. I ordered the steak and it was amazing. Delicious. We ordered the passion crème brûlée for dessert. That was not pretty to look at, but it was so amazing to eat! You will have to take an Uber to get here, if you're not driving, but you don't need to worry about getting an Uber back because the restaurant will call you a cab/ have cabs waiting for when you're done with dinner.

    The most delicious meal : wood fire shrimp

    We had high expectations for Le Kliff based on the reviews and our taxi driver recommendation. They were undergoing reconstruction, which was not apart of the reason for the rating, it's just something to note. We were coming from Villa Lala, a boutique hotel 5min walking distance from Le Kliff. Our concierge was able to make the reservation for us that day at 6p, which was great. Service: At Le Kill, the service was most attentive, but I would say too much. Because of the limited balconies open, they had about 10+ waiters for 3-4 tables (ranging in 2-6 people per table. For a two person table, it felt like you were being watched. Food: The food was good. We ordered the meat tapas, catch of the day, wood fire shrimp, and dessert of the apple tart. They never explained what the tapas were once arrived, but all were good. There was a Taquito-like one, and a taco ones. The were two other that I don't even know the names. The catch of the day was a red snapper fish covered with pistachios with passion fruit sauce. As much as I wanted to like it, it was just ok. However, what has me day dreaming is the wood fire shrimp and the apple tart. The shrimp were just great from massive in size to great flavor. The apple tart was a new item swapped on the menu. Oh, so good. Drinks: they definitely push the "expensive" home tequila drinks. My husband got the cucumber margarita based on the reviews being so positive (which had the house tequila), but it was standard. I got the mango margarita - standard. Nothing above average. I actually think the drinks at Villi Lala are better and cheaper. Payment: they accept credit cards or cash. Easy enough either way. We did credit cards they asked us what percentage to add on to the bill, so it was added immediately. Attire: although they say no flip flops, sleeveless shirts, etc, most people came in their vacation attire. I'm sure they wanted people in nicer attire, but between vacation and weather being humid, I wouldn't expect it. We came in vacation wear. Me in a tank top dress with slip ons, and my husband in a cotton shirt, shorts and closed toe shoes. Weather: because it's raining season, there were these bugs that were attracted to the palm trees. Insane amounts. There was one couple that left after getting seated because it was too much. The waiters did what they could for it with using fans blowing on everyone. Otherwise, weather was overcast - not apart of the overall rating, just for reference. Location: the view is great. You're overlooking the ocean and have Mountain View's. It's fun to see the boats coming in and out. We were positioned in the back, since they out the large parties towards the water view. Overall, eating a 3/5 since it was just standard. For the price and reviews seen, I was thinking it was going to be higher/above average.

    Food was amazing- service even better. We were in PVR for my husbands 50th birthday and I made reservations for his birthday at Le Kliff - the views are stunning ... the service was top notch, food was all delicious and the price was great for service, view, venue I recommend this restaurant to everyone!! It's my favorite PVR restaurant, I booked online reservations for 630pm and saw the sunset - the staff helped take picture of us. Entire diner was the best!! My husband was sang to for HBD, was given a balloon and special dessert.

    Entrance nice

    A great experience food 7/10 drinks are very good service was amazing luis was our server and did a great job the views from any angle was unreal a really beautiful place my only complaint is about the bathroom situation you need to ho up and down many levels to go and you just can imagine of you have couple drinks. That's my only concern and i will go again for the experience.

    Salmon. Delicious!

    Un restaurante muy bonito y sabroso. Me gustó mucho el local, las bebidas, y la vista. La comida también muy sabrosa. El servicio excelente y todo muy limpio. El ambiente es único, con las mesas en el balcón con vista del mar. Nosotros tuvimos la oportunidad de ver el atardecer durante nuestra visita y estuvo espectacular. También logramos ver delfines en el mar. Los precios de la comida y bebidas están demasiado altos. No coinciden con la calidad de la comida. Es lo único que puedo decir malo con esta restaurante. En general, un buen restaurante con excelentes vistas.

    Serrano cucumber margarita with mezcal !
    Eric G.

    This place was absolutely beautiful. Definitely worth every picture. The food was delicious but I will say when it came to service they really try to push the most expensive things without trying to understand your preferences. When asking about different types of alcohol, they seem to be focus more on the more higher end and when suggesting to get some thing a bit less expensive, they make you feel as if your choices are wrong and try to push other spirits instead of what you want. I'm all about enjoying a good tequila but not when it's mix . So in a preference of a margarita I don't need to spend $65 on a mix cocktail.

    If you're in puerto Vallarta this restaurant is a must!!! The food, drinks & ambiance is AMAZING. Ask for the dream team Juan, Nacata & Miriam! They will make your experience even better!

Mi Ranchito is part of the growing shoreline in the small village of Boca de Tomatlán at the mouth of an inlet roughly 10 miles south of downtown Puerto Vallarta. Construction was busy in several newish places as we walked from the parking area to the restaurant which sits right on the water. We stopped here for lunch as part of an ATV tour. The cafe is open air and covered, benefiting from a cool breeze blowing in off the pacific. Inside is comfortable, with sand for a floor that feels nice on bare feet. The menu is standard. We ordered ceviche, which came as a very large portion. The Mexican salsa, a tomato, jalapeño, and onion mixture common in this area, was spicier than others we've had. One of our party ordered the Pineapple Surprise, a drink that is served inside a carved pineapple, with a face made of fruit and toothpicks on the front. It was definitely a crowdpleaser. Other dishes we tried were octopus- based and rated fine to not so good. My only minor gripe is the table server used her rapport with us to hit us with a sales pitch for necklaces made of whale bones and shells. Her prices were high and, as always here, negotiating tactics were strong. I typically just wave the vendors off cuz they seem to get pissy if you take an interest then decide not to buy. I'd rather not mix that dynamic with table service. Other than that, three stars for Mi Ranchito. And I expect this area will likely grow in the coming years to have some better competition. The location is great!

We took a 20 minute Uber ride to have a beach day outside of zona Romantica where we were staying. We decided to leave because we were hungry and realized that one of the restaurants we bookmarked was just a 10 minute walk and decided to check it out. We were there celebrating a special birthday so we wanted to have one nice dinner and this is the place we chose. We got there around 5 PM and we were the only ones there on a Saturday but it was off-season (Aug) so PV in general was pretty quiet. We were welcome by a friendly man who took us to the top floor with a mountain beautiful view which actually was a nice change from the ocean. The greenery was beautiful. This restaurant is known for their seafood and boy was it fresh. They don't have a specific menu, but rather they bring out a tray of their fresh selection of the day. Everything was beautiful and the shrimp was gigantic. We opted for the red snapper, lobster and the large shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection and was absolutely delicious. Oh, and I have to make a point of mentioning their margaritas. Fresh fruit margaritas... So yummy. We tried the mango margarita with fresh mangoes and strawberry margarita as well. I just love drinks made with fresh fruits. I think it was my favorite margarita of the entire trip. I do highly recommend you check this place out. The food is phenomenal and the service is wonderful. The 20 minute Uber ride cost about US$15 so well worth it, especially if you do a beach day and make a day of it.

Then I got the garlic mahi mahi and honestly the portion was huge and it was so much fish and I felt like it was a fantastic cook on the fish! My husband got the mahi mahi and shrimp with a red sauce and he liked it as well. We ended with dessert, which was a pumpkin flan. Seasonal, and pretty smooth and creamy. The next morning we went for brunch and got fish n chips and french toast. Skip the french toast, it was not that great. Flavors were nice and the blueberry compote was tasty but its very basic and not very fluffy. It would actually be a really good nice dish for younger kids. The french fries on day 2 were MUCh better. Crispier with more salt and flavor. The fried fish was yummy and meaty but there were only about 5 small ish pieces - not at all like the fish and chips you get elsewhere. But the tempura batter on it was delicious. The chef even surprised us with three extra pieces of fish with teriyaki sauce and that was so yummy. Service is fantastic.

I came in alone on a Thursday night at around 8 pm with no reservation and was lucky to be able to be seated at a high top table for two adjacent to the bar. I would definitely suggest getting a reservation as I quickly saw the dining room fill-up. The waitstaff was incredibly attentive and kind. Upon sitting, I was greeted by my server, a tableside bartender, and a manager who explained everything. I was given the wine and cocktail lists and quickly made a selection based on the bartenders recommendation. He prepared my drink right in front of me and had a whole beautiful cart set-up. I got a tequila cocktail that was sweet and tart at the same time. It was really tasty. Next, I was given the food menu and my waiter came by to see if I had any question. I also received complimentary chips and salsa service. The chips were fresh and different than most I've tried. I think they may have been baked instead of fried. They also give you three different salsas that range from mild, medium, and hot. The medium was a creamy garlic sauce that was very tasty and unlike anything I've ever seen at a Mexican restaurant. My waiter also came by to present some of their seafood specials and to tell me about their beef. Again, a beautiful presentation and if I was with others, or more hungry, I would have gotten the large shrimp dish. The seafood and meat looked very fresh. Unfortunately, I was not feeling well, which only progressed throughout the meal. I ended up just getting the tuna tartare app to start, but I couldn't finish it and decided to end my meal earlier than expected. The tartare was tasty. It had a habanero-mango salsa that was kind of spicy to me. It also had watermelon and mango pieces, which really balanced everything. The best part about the service is that the waitstaff is never too far away if you need anything, but they aren't a bother. When I needed to go, my waiter gathered the remainder of my meal and gave me some fresh tortillas. My bill was $50, which wasn't too bad for a cocktail, sparkling water bottle, and honestly an entree sized app of tuna tartare. I'm sad I was unable to enjoy more, but would def recommend this place to anyone visiting PVR.

The view was so beautiful as the place was perched up on the cliff side. I got the Alpastor grilled octopus . It was delicious. My husband got the catch of the day which was Mahi Mahi. He said it was the best Mahi Mahi he had ever had. Compliments to the chef and the freshness. The toilet above the restaurant does not have a door or walls, really, but has a great view of ocean. We decided to work off our lunch and hiked back to Boca. It was a fun hike. Steep uphills and down hills. A bit rough terrain but stuff you could hold onto in case you need the help. Be sure to wear sneakers, not flip flops (unless you're 20 and agile). It took us an hour, but I think if we were 40 years younger we could have done it in 35-45 minutes. We enjoyed our adventure and note have a great place to explore some more!!
