    Really creative food and absolutely delicious. Staff was friendly, restaurant was sexy, and the food was absolutely delicious. The beet salad was one of the best things I’ve had in ages.

    All the food was exceptional. I had the lamb shank entree and the catch of the day appetizer. Easily one of the better meals we had while in Punta de Mita. Only complaint was that the martini I ordered was small and tasted watered down, but no one comes to Mexico for martinis so hard to make a fuss about that.

    Have to admit based on reviews I had high hopes and we were disappointed. Ordered 4 things and 3 sadly missing the mark — grilled baby gem salad was bitter and under dressed; lamb shank was gamy and covered by a sheath of fatty tissue, however the sauce and birria were outstanding. The mahi mahi catch of the day was overcooked and the accompanying pasta was beyond mushy. However what a beautiful place to dine. Oops I should mention the chocolate desert was to die for!

    All of the staff that we interacted with were lovely and very very attentive. Unfortunately, the food was not what we expected; for example, I had the NY Strip steak. It came with an amazing sauce, but the steak itself was tough and fatty. It most definitely was not worth $50 USD. One appetizer was very good, while one was mediocre. Hector has gotten some excellent reviews, but maybe he wasn’t cooking the night we were there. We’re here for three months and hoped to bring our visiting friends here, but we’ll have to find another restaurant to bring them to.
