Getting into our taxi from our resort we told the driver to take us to the best food in the city. After a fast and furious cab ride up the hillside and down small streets we stopped and a youngish boy opens our door to greet us and show us up a narrow stairway that opens up into the most... More

I know restaurant reviews are completely subjective, based on a variety of factors. This place is VERY expensive, the food mediocre at best - the only good thing i can say about this place is the view.....I will not return, nor will i recommend to anyone. Many other restaurants in PV worthy of your business, just not this one...In my... More

Each year we have 1 or 2 dinners here for a special treat. The view over the city and bay at sunset are worth the trip there, but the food and service are also first-rate. There is always a wandering band playing, but it is appropriately loud and these guys are musicians! They will play for your table, but are... More

The restaurant has a beautiful view of the city and coastline. Went there to watch the sunset. Very Romantic. Good for special occasions. However, the food is just ok. Have tasted better Mexican food before. But it's still worth it for the view and atmosphere. Recommend it.

Me and my wife had such a good time we went twice in a week and i will never hesitate to go back. Great view! Great food, try the cheese stuffed balls! Great service. Any place that the owner takes the time to see how your doing is a thumbs up for me, gracies todos y saludos!

You can't beat the views especially when you see a falling star (not guaranteed, we were lucky). The staff is attentive and professional. They put on a great show with the flambé (coffee & bananas foster) and table side Caesar salad. The food was good, but it gets tricky for a "vegetariano". The live music was ok but the table... More

Food and service were superb, and the view was great! And the atmosphere was entertaining to say the least. Will go back of course.

This place never disappoints. For the meal-ender, we've always had their signature drink 'almond tequilla'. However, they were fresh out...so sad, until the owner fetched the 21 year-old bottle that his father had made and had never opened!! He poured 6 shots for us, our friends and the table next to ours. Please, visit this restaurant on your next trip... More

This is our second review of this fabulous restaurant. We made an early reservation to get the best sunset view table in Vallarta. An appetizer, the best ever Caesar salad made tableside, a steak filet cooked to perfection and a delicious shrimp dinner, four glasses of wine and a few complimentary surprises all came to $70 US before tip. Unbelievable.... More
