  Great find our first night in puerto Vallarta. Modern location with traditional flare. Great seafood choices, we had the Tradicional burger. It is with tuna steak, a generous serving and tasty trimmings.
  We also had the shrimp cocktail, great size and avocado to boot. The service is young and energetic, the patio very cozy and fun.
  All the ingredients seem fresh and high quality. A plus !

  Situated right on the main drag, you can sit at a tall table on the sidewalk, amongst the hustle and bustle or you can sit just inside where it's a bit quieter (that's a relative term...)
  
  Very good food overall. We really enjoyed the Tartara de Atún - almost too large a portion for an appetizer. Shrimp tacos were also good but I didn't see any cheese (as described on the menu). That's okay as I would't expect cheese on a shrimp taco anyway. I asked for and received extra corn tortillas which were hot from the grill and delicious. The house salsa is extra picante and very fresh (you need to ask for it).
  
  Not surprisingly the beef hamburger was a major disappointment. Tiny, overcooked meat patty on a huge bun with lettuce and tomato. Stick with the seafood.
  
  Friendly staff with somewhat slow and erratic service. Just be patient.

  We started with the Tartara de Atún. It is spectacular in appearance and awesome in taste. Large enough for 4 people as an appetizer. Chunks of tuna with: pineapple, cucumber, red onion, orange slices, avocado, sprouts. And, the taste was fantastic.
  
  Shrimp tacos. Tender shrimp cooked perfectly (almost under done) on a fresh tortilla with sauce that had tons of flavor.
  
  [Do not order this.] Hamburguesa con papas fritas. The fries were crispy, seasoned and delicious. The burger was too small for the bun and was your typical Mexican burger stretched with bread and onions and overcooked. It comes with: lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, onion.
  
  + Service was good.
  + Wi-Fi.
  + Fun ceiling decoration with "baskets" of green and black.
  0 Brown paper table cloths.
  0 Flatware - Moven México.
  - Paper napkins.
  
  $734 for lunch for two. Way too much food. Generous tip.

  This has been our favorite restaurant in Town. Food is excellent, service is personal yet exquisite. Prices are fair. Location is perfect. Pleasant ambiance, not overdone. Clean kitchen and fresh food. Had both breakfast and lunch and all dishes were done to perfection and beautifully presented. Quick service, excellent food, attentive and personable, yet professional staff. Can't say enough about this place and the staff. And check out their happy hour! It's a great deal and the drinks are flavorful and not watered down. A must visit while in PV!

  This place is a MUST. Beautiful modern decor, VERY clean and the waiters are all really nice. We had great service. Yea they may be a bit forgetful, but I just reminded him and he got it straight away. I didn't mind. It's a tough job.
  
  FOOD:
  They have a delicious Alfredo/Shrimp pasta. Their garlic bread is very tasty!
  I also had their fish tacos and they were amazing!
  
  My favorite part was their fried ice cream! The presentation was beautiful (IG worthy) and it tasted even better!
