I have to start by saying that our waiter, David, was incredible! I also have to agree with other reviews that the atmosphere is perfect for pictures! Such a cool spot! I can’t give it a 5 because the food wasn’t great (except the chocolate cake, that was incredible). It wasn’t bad by any means but it wasn’t great and our drinks were good but again, not great. We both agree we would go back for the ambiance, as long as David was our waiter! And we’d also recommend it as a great spot for tourists to see the “old city” of Puerto Vallarta.

About the restaurant

This is a remarkable international restaurant in Puerto Vallarta since 1973 for its outstanding quality, service & unique romantic ambiance. This four level restaurant is situated on the rooftop of Hotel Suites La Siesta, nestled on a hillside in the center of downtown Puerto Vallarta & only three blocks from the Malecón & beach. Each of the four floors are distinctive, offering two open air terraces as well as two inside salons one of which features a baby grand piano & our pianist playing romantic tunes all evening long. The most impressive attribute of this restaurant is the 360º view that is truly unparalleled & offers striking vistas of the entire bay & city of Puerto Vallarta. The specialties of the house include giant sautéed prawns, Caesar salads & select cuts of choice beef.
We are located at Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, esquina Miramar #689 Colonia Centro Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.
**February 20th to March 1st, 2023, elevator out of service.**
