Beautiful setting, architecture and views. Food was a major let down. Uninspired, flat, bland, and lacking any creativity and care. Over cooked fish, tough octopus, and bland mystery mash stuffed poblanos.

Beautiful restaurant in the Puerto Vallarta Romantic zone. The staff is fantastic the chef was gracious to prepare me a special gluten free sauce for my Tacos. The Jalapeno Basil margarita was excellent. I was very pleased to see there was a gluten free chocolate cake I had to have it for my birthday dinner dessert Yummy The Mariachi band was top notch with beautiful voices and music!
