    Classic French Bistro!

    From the moment we walked in, I knew is was a locals favorite. We sat and ordered our wine, and the waiter brings us a big ceramic loaf pan of fresh country pate and a crusty loaf of bread...cornichons etc. All of the food we ordered was delicious and so fresh. I loved the scallops!

    A clean neighborhood locals bar

    Popped in on a early Saturday evening. Sliding door for front door, don't let that scare you! LOL Pablo the bartender was a kick and the place was clean and nice. A little bar up front and a patio and pool table in the back. pablo makes a great Blue Curacao Margarita. Not sweet but so tasty..also ask Pable to see his "friend" ;)

    Nice patio-Only had breakfast my visit

    Stopped by for breakfast. The Chorizo and eggs were just almost warmish. Friendly staff and the fruit platter and yogurt was tasty. Upstairs is Diablos, wanted to give it a try, but maybe next visit.

    Hot Men-Expect to spend pesos

    Like Anthropology these hot men are working for tips. The Shower Men were so hot and very sensual. The other men working the room were very hot as well..but for a price. Had a cervesa and watched to shower shows..nice. But not a whole night of it..

    Wonderful and Romantic-Amazing Views & Food

    One of the best Paella's we've ever eaten (And yes we have eaten paella in Spain, but they did not compare to the fresh and yummy paella they do here. ) The small size could feed 4 easily. The shrimp were plump and sweet, and the fish, mussels, baby calamari, scallops, etc were all cooked perfectly. The views are spectacular of the bay from the top of this five story building on the hill. The service was excellent and the owner gracious. Also their Grilled Mediterranean salad was to die for!

    Great place for a meal

    Friendly and great location on the beach. Our cute server Lalo was really a great server. We were there for lunch, had the shrimp cocktail , Cheeseburger and Club Sandwich that we split...everything was tasty. Would like to try for dinner.

    Consistently good!

    A great place to have a night one dinner or lunch. It is a great setting on the beach near Blue Chairs. The food is excellent, never had a bad meal here. I had the grilled octopus which was cooked perfectly and tasty. And my partner had the Red Snapper special which was yummy. The Shrimp Taquitos are really good as well.

    Charming and Friendly

    My partner and I were staying at a condo very close by. We ate dinner at "Taste" the restaurant here at hotel. "Armando" & "Jose" were the sweetest and the food was very tasty. We enjoyed so much our last day we went here for brunch and "Fernando" the restaurant manager took us to tour one of the rooms for a future stay. It is really a beautiful hotel with lovely grounds. Would highly recommend this to people who want privacy and not much noise. It is very much in the jungle close by actually across the highway, and about a 10 minute walk to Los Muertos beach.
