Mahi was over cooked and the shrimp tasted old. The bathrooms are in the middle of nowhere with lots of stairs and climbing.

What a unique and absolutely outrageous experience. My partner and I hiked to the beach and worked up an appetite. We sauntered over to the restaurant after a dip to cool down. We had a trio ceviche as an appetizer, she had the catch of the day and I had the octopus. All of it was amazing. There was tremendous value in all of it. We then took a boat back to town. Must do.

We had a nice experience at Ocean Grill. The water taxi was such a cool way to go and definitely provided anticipation and excitement . The restaurant itself is rustic, romantic and exactly what you could expect from a cliff side restaurant. Beautiful views and a unique atmosphere. The service was great, although a bit slow in the beginning to order our drinks. The waiter was very attentive from then on, and checked back about the food. We ordered smoked marlin tostadas which were really good. They are served 4 to a plate, unlike some restaurants that serve 3 items in an appetizer. Highly recommend! I ordered the jumbo shrimp and my husband the catch of the day, mahi-mahi. We both had the same side dishes, mashed sweet potato and grilled vegetables. My shrimp were cooked perfectly, although I felt lacked seasoning and could have had a little more char on the outside, and a little more sauce on the plate. My husband’s fish was swimming in butter, maybe a bit too much. Both plates were beautifully presented and matched the feeling of the restaurant. Good quality. Of the dessert options, they had sold out of the one that appealed to us the most, so we went for espresso martinis instead. The manager checked in on all the tables which I find to be a great thing that all restaurants should do. Just a nice touch. I think this is a special occasion place and the prices reflect that. Cash only.

A novel experience being perched on the side of a cliff. Food excellent service great. Only negative is the washroom, if you need to use remember to pull the bar down indicating it is occupied, there is no door on it.

We had an amazing experience at this majestic restaurant in the beautiful bay of Banderas. The food was top-notch and our server Alejandro and the renowned chef Alex did an amazing job. Oh did I mention the spectacular and breathtaking views? We were also fortunate enough to see some whales breaching about in the near distance. When in Vallarta, this is a must visit.
