There are many restaurants to eat in Puerto Vallarta but if you want a nice view and quality food this is the place for you. Our server Pedro was very attentive and recommended the lobster for 2. We were impressed with the flavor and size portion. Pedro suggest that we try the chili oil sauce for flavor on the lobster and it complimented it well. Our experience here was by far the highlight of our trip to Puerto Vallarta. We will recommend this restaurant to our friends and family.

We went here for lunch while milling around old town and then stopped here on our walk back to down town area.
Place is nice setting for a meal but overpriced for lunch. We each had a seafood entry from the lunch menu. I had the fish and chips which was made from mahi mahi (yum) and my wife had the shrimp tacos (yum too).
Both dishes looked and tasted good but all in all with so many other places out there we felt that the cost should have been lunch with 2 lemonadas for around $25 US and not the $45 US it ended up costing. We looked at the dinner menu also and had thought about going back but it appeared that you would end up dropping $75 US or more on dinner so we passed.

Very good food, highly recommended. Seafood and meat, and vegan options too. Thank you Carlos for the good service. The view is amazing from the restaurant, and the staff super kind. I need more stars for this place.

All alone in Mexico on my birthday, no better place for a treat than The Blue Shrimp. Perfect location and they don’t put solo diners at the back, next to the toilets. Alfredo looked after me very well and the coconut shrimp was perfection.
