My 31 y/o son stopped in for drinks and was treated so well he insisted we go the next day for lunch. The food was superb and the staff exquisite! They remembered Levi and even his name from the night before. The ambiance was heartfelt, the crew polite and funny at the same time. We ate dinner there early the next night and again the food was to die for, the staff outstanding and they still knew our names, how hot my son liked his salsa (BTW they make the salsa tableside to one's personal taste) and another evening of fantastic fraternization and frivolity was had over food made just south of heaven. On our last night we wandered until late in the evening pretending we were going elsewhere...we wound up back at the finest establishment in Puerto Vallarta. There was a live singer and at the late hour there were few others there and we wound up being the last guests. The beautiful owners a/o business "partners" (?) Let the music play on and even did a fancy tequila tasting with Levi (very similar to a wine tasting with "hints of this" and "notes of that"...they were so serious! It just smelled like liquor to this old lady but they really got in depth with it! Such good fun! I was even allowed to order off menu and then my son decided it was time to teach me salsa dancing or something I had to laugh about because I consider myself a pretty good dancer but I was all left feet that night! Soon one of the beautiful owners (did I mention it is a woman owned business? YESSSS!) began showing Levi a new dance...so, So, SO MUCH FUN̈ WAS HAD BY ALL!!! Don't you dare miss this epitome of good food, awesome hospitality and so many other blessings in one beautiful, comfortable, fair priced dining establishment! Mom and pop at it's finest, Thank you so much, folks I will never forget that last night dancing in the moonlight with my son and all of you made it possible!...

Read moreWe ordered 3 dishes…the Tuna Merlot, the Chili Relleno, and the Salmon Mole. The tuna merlot had a good flavor and was cooked well but it would have been better if served with some butternut squash puree underneath as an example. It felt like the dish was lacking something. but it was nice that they served it with a fresh and tasty side salad and rice. The chili relleno was supposed to come with vegetables and cheese inside, but only had a lot of cheese. I did not like the dish as I did not feel like it was balanced. It was way too much cheese and too rich. The salmon mole dish was absolutely perfect!! The salmon was prepared perfectly. The mole was delicious and it was well balanced with some asparagus and plantain to go with the dish. The waiters and hosts of the restaurant were very friendly and generous and created a fun party like atmosphere as it was someone’s birthday and they were celebrating… they turned the whole restaurant into a kind of bar/club atmosphere to celebrate. It was nice but a bit unexpected…They have a patio, which is on the roof, with a view of the city and the ocean so you can see the sunset there as well. they also had one musician playing some live music, which was...
