    Very good meal on the beachfront. Our family split the pear salad, short ribs, sea bass and chicken. It was excellent! We are enjoyed our meals very much, and we will be sure to go again the next time we are in Puerto Vallarta.

    We've been here many times for a lovely meal while watching the sunset. Tonight we came for Valentine's dinner. Wonderful service and food, but the coconut shrimp are still my favorite item after many years.

    I have to say the appetizers were divine (coconut shrimp and a fantastic salad). The bread (almost like an under-done croissant with cream cheese filling) was the best we'd ever had. The meal went downhill after that. The shrimp dish sounded complex and amazing so we both ordered it. We got five or six shrimp on top of a white room temperature blob of something. I likened it to cold mashed potatoes but it might have been a polenta-type dish with strings of jicama in it. No sauce at all. It was boring and almost inedible due to its temperature. No one came to ask how we were doing once it was placed in front of us. That brings me to the waiter. He bordered or either bored or rude (or both)...as in tired of waiting on Americans. As I looked around, the entire place was filled with Americans and I felt like I'd certainly landed in a tourist trap. The view was amazing because this is a restaurant on the beach. So if view is what you're after, ignore the rest and go.
