    The restaurant does not uphold its posted dress code policy which is very unfortunate given that it’s a “classy” and “elegant” place. Not what I signed up for. I have been there three times and recommended it to others. No longer will I be doing that nor will I be dining there again. Unfortunately, the hostess and the manager did not recognize the contradiction in their own responses to the notion of a “dress code.” You can’t pick and choose what falls under dress code and classy/elegant.

    Amazing view and atmosphere. Food and service was also outstanding. Definitely a splurge for what we were used to in Vallarta but will be back. Sit outside if you can. Favorite dishes were the squash blossoms and the goat cheese mousse.

    Not one complaint can be made. We had a great time. The service was amazing, the food is spectacular and the ambience is breathtaking. The value is great. We paid more money at other restaurants that didn’t have this level of quality and ambience.

    There isn’t enough space to list everything that is fantastic about this place. From the staff to the atmosphere and most importantly the food was just amazing.

    Lovely decor, outstanding service, perfect location. Disappointing to see so many shorts and tshirts for a restaurant that has a formal dress code.
