I have made my scruples with the dress code known in other reviews, and I'll do it here. Long pants are a ridiculous requirement in a climate as hot and humid as this one. You will see my legs for approximately the time it takes me to walk from the host stand to the table, at which point they disappear from view. This is a silly requirement, and it should go away. That aside, this restaurant was not what I had hoped. While I didn't expect something ranking in my top Italian experiences ever list while in Mexico, I was hoping for something on par with the other really solid dining options at the resort. Neither the food, nor the service, lived up to our expectations. The meal took almost two hours, we didn't even see our appetizers for the first hour. It was not particularly busy in there. Unlike the french restaurant counterpart on the Secrets side, the service was not attentive here at all, and nothing was done to try and make up for the problems in the kitchen. When the food ultimately did arrive, it was okay. Sauces were too thin, not sticking to the noodles and ending up more like a broth at the bottom of the bowls. Proteins, which are a strength of the resort cooking in general, were tasty and juicy. Pasta didn't have the taste or appearance of being made in house, which for the upscale vibe they're presenting (and you are paying for) was disappointing to me. That would be a simple way to elevate the experience, though of course taking more prep. This particular restaurant fell short, but we were overall pleased with our dining options at Secrets.

I got the catch of the day fish...Soo dry. My hubby said he liked the asparagus soup but I did not like it. The pastas tasted "healthy" if you know what I mean. Like bland and that wheat grainy texture. The lasagna was way too salty. The burrata was not bad while the Bruschetta was probably the best thing. Would I go back? No, I rather stick with the buffet or Mexican food.

We ordered the bbq for 2. It was a plate with some of everything(beef, ribs, chicken, pork and sausage) and cactus, grilled onions, beans, tortillas and a couple of small quesadillas on the side. Our server spoke excellent English and the place was very comfortable. They have a nice area for kids. If you want to come during the day and have them hang out there while they're waiting for their food. I got the barbecue sauce which is a side that you have to ask for and it was very tasty We really enjoyed this place. It felt more authentic and more local than most of the places we normally go to in the South part of the town on the coast. It was about a third less expensive.

Rooftop patio with twinkle lights, friendly and attentive service, and delicious food -- what more can you ask for! We got the guacamole and tuna sashimi as appetizers, and the guacamole (as well as the complimentary salsa) was made right at the table to our exact specifications (mild, please!). We weren't really drinking tonight, so got virgin strawberry daiquiris which were essentially delicious smoothies. I bet the real ones are top notch, too. For mains, I had the chicken fajitas, which came with additional guacamole, rice, and beans in a build-your-own style. My partner had the tomato cream soup, which came with biscuits and had a beautiful presentation. We asked if they served lunch on the way out (they do, opens at 2pm), since we can't wait to come back. We got two churros to go since some of the reviews raved about them -- still too full to eat them but looking forward to it!

The margarita was very tasty as well, the fresh and organic strawberries blended in made it feel so organic and fresh. I could see why the locals and visitors loved this bistro.

Bar La Playa is a MUST first-stop when visiting Zona Romantica…read more On our most recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, we wanted to spend a day in this part of the region. After looking up good places to go, Bar La Playa came up- and I'm sure glad it did! First, it's easy to get to if you're coming from North. Our Uber was easily able to drop us off without getting stuck in gridlock traffic that can affect certain roads of this area. Additionally, the location isn't a high-traffic area for tourists. That meant we were able to walk up and immediately find seats. Second, the service was top notch. I didn't get the bartenders name, but he was very welcoming, friendly, hospitable and spoke English. Just an overall cool dude and was glad to support his business. Third, the drinks were great. Finally, we were drinking 'real' drinks, not the watered down sugary stuff at the hotel. We were very satisfied with the taste of the drinks. Fourth, the prices are really good. Mexico has gotten expensive and this was a sigh of relief. You can have a great time here without feeling like you paid an arm and a leg. I highly-highly recommend making Bar La Playa your first stop when coming to this area. You're going to get great service, great drinks and all at a price that is reasonable and fair.
