Good 👍 food 🍱 and drinks🍹are to be found at this nice staple of beautiful 🤩 downtown Puerto Vallarta. A varied menu with Mèxican and International specialties. All served with a picturesque view. A little addition; this would make the perfect spot for a late - night piano 🎹 bar .

We were early for our reservation. No problem. The service was rapid and friendly. I had the gambas appetizer and it was like in Madrid but good. I also had the Tuna Caprese main dish which was very nice. Very rare tuna served over grilled tomatoes and goat cheese. The recommended Mexican white wine was a very nice chenin blanc. Chocolate lavender cake and ice cream topped it off well. Really good value.

One of our favorite restaurants. The river setting is lovely. The food was very good, although a bit pricey. Excellent live music from the bar at the entrance added to the ambience. Service was excellent as usual.
