    Beautiful sunset
    Thel G.

    Le Kliff had an amazing view. We booked time to enjoy the sunset. The service was great! Hugo was very attentive and did a wonderful job describing the dishes and answering all our questions. I had the shrimp pasta. Delicious! I highly recommend this dish. The pasta was freshly made the sauce was light and full of flavor!

    What an amazing experience! Be prepared for lots of steps and a breathtaking view ! I would only go here during sunset & maybe one time experience. Expect $$$$ but we enjoyed our culinary journey! Tomahawk was quite pink although ordered medium. Service was a bit unpredictable as we had to request wine multiple times. The table next to us walked out due to the service. No Uber service leaving so expect to wait for a taxi which took 20 minutes.

    What a fantastic setting for our final dinner in Puerto Vallarta! The staff were amazing, so knowledgeable about all the dishes we tried. The margaritas were the best in PV on this trip. We enjoyed the bone marrow appetizer, which was delicious! My beef filet was cooked perfectly, and the dessert was truly unique--lemongrass ice cream! The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, with perfect acoustic covers and an amazing sunset. I'm already looking forward to our next visit!

Thank you Cintia for coordinating everything for my special day!!! Thank you Juan & Balam for exceptional service!!! Wow!!! Juan and Balam were the most amazing servers I have ever experienced!! They made my special occasion unforgettable! I will be back soon!!!

    From the second we walked in, the experience was top-notch. The hostess, Cynthia, greeted us with such a warm smile and sat us right away with the most stunning ocean view. The scenery was honestly breathtaking, it felt like something out of a movie! We ordered the Tomahawk steak and lobster tails, and wow, they were both cooked to absolute perfection. The steak was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, and the lobster was buttery and delicious. Easily one of the best meals we've ever had on vacation Our servers, Jonathan and Erick, were absolutely incredible. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and made us feel so special the whole night. Their service alone made the dinner worth the trip. Between the views, the atmosphere, and the outstanding service, Le Kliff completely exceeded our expectations. Definitely one of the best dining experiences we've had in Puerto Vallarta. Can't wait to come back!

    Passion margarita

    If you're looking for a place with amazing vibes and great photo opportunities, this is the spot. Came here from a recommendation from a friend, not only is this place beautiful but they really go out of their way to make you feel special. The night we went someone actually gotten engaged and they went all out on the decorating and planning.(kinda jealous). The drinks were amazing. I had the passionfruit margarita first and then the cucumber margarita after. If I could drink the cucumber, margarita by the gallon, I would. I highly recommend going around sunset the view was unbelievable. Now to the food. I ordered the steak and it was amazing. Delicious. We ordered the passion crème brûlée for dessert. That was not pretty to look at, but it was so amazing to eat! You will have to take an Uber to get here, if you're not driving, but you don't need to worry about getting an Uber back because the restaurant will call you a cab/ have cabs waiting for when you're done with dinner.

    The most delicious meal : wood fire shrimp
    Chelsey H.

    We had high expectations for Le Kliff based on the reviews and our taxi driver recommendation. They were undergoing reconstruction, which was not apart of the reason for the rating, it's just something to note. We were coming from Villa Lala, a boutique hotel 5min walking distance from Le Kliff. Our concierge was able to make the reservation for us that day at 6p, which was great. Service: At Le Kill, the service was most attentive, but I would say too much. Because of the limited balconies open, they had about 10+ waiters for 3-4 tables (ranging in 2-6 people per table. For a two person table, it felt like you were being watched. Food: The food was good. We ordered the meat tapas, catch of the day, wood fire shrimp, and dessert of the apple tart. They never explained what the tapas were once arrived, but all were good. There was a Taquito-like one, and a taco ones. The were two other that I don't even know the names. The catch of the day was a red snapper fish covered with pistachios with passion fruit sauce. As much as I wanted to like it, it was just ok. However, what has me day dreaming is the wood fire shrimp and the apple tart. The shrimp were just great from massive in size to great flavor. The apple tart was a new item swapped on the menu. Oh, so good. Drinks: they definitely push the "expensive" home tequila drinks. My husband got the cucumber margarita based on the reviews being so positive (which had the house tequila), but it was standard. I got the mango margarita - standard. Nothing above average. I actually think the drinks at Villi Lala are better and cheaper. Payment: they accept credit cards or cash. Easy enough either way. We did credit cards they asked us what percentage to add on to the bill, so it was added immediately. Attire: although they say no flip flops, sleeveless shirts, etc, most people came in their vacation attire. I'm sure they wanted people in nicer attire, but between vacation and weather being humid, I wouldn't expect it. We came in vacation wear. Me in a tank top dress with slip ons, and my husband in a cotton shirt, shorts and closed toe shoes. Weather: because it's raining season, there were these bugs that were attracted to the palm trees. Insane amounts. There was one couple that left after getting seated because it was too much. The waiters did what they could for it with using fans blowing on everyone. Otherwise, weather was overcast - not apart of the overall rating, just for reference. Location: the view is great. You're overlooking the ocean and have Mountain View's. It's fun to see the boats coming in and out. We were positioned in the back, since they out the large parties towards the water view. Overall, eating a 3/5 since it was just standard. For the price and reviews seen, I was thinking it was going to be higher/above average.

    Food was amazing- service even better. We were in PVR for my husbands 50th birthday and I made reservations for his birthday at Le Kliff - the views are stunning ... the service was top notch, food was all delicious and the price was great for service, view, venue I recommend this restaurant to everyone!! It's my favorite PVR restaurant, I booked online reservations for 630pm and saw the sunset - the staff helped take picture of us. Entire diner was the best!! My husband was sang to for HBD, was given a balloon and special dessert.

    Salmon. Delicious!

    Un restaurante muy bonito y sabroso. Me gustó mucho el local, las bebidas, y la vista. La comida también muy sabrosa. El servicio excelente y todo muy limpio. El ambiente es único, con las mesas en el balcón con vista del mar. Nosotros tuvimos la oportunidad de ver el atardecer durante nuestra visita y estuvo espectacular. También logramos ver delfines en el mar. Los precios de la comida y bebidas están demasiado altos. No coinciden con la calidad de la comida. Es lo único que puedo decir malo con esta restaurante. En general, un buen restaurante con excelentes vistas.

    Entrance nice

    A great experience food 7/10 drinks are very good service was amazing luis was our server and did a great job the views from any angle was unreal a really beautiful place my only complaint is about the bathroom situation you need to ho up and down many levels to go and you just can imagine of you have couple drinks. That's my only concern and i will go again for the experience.

    Serrano cucumber margarita with mezcal !
    Eric G.

    This place was absolutely beautiful. Definitely worth every picture. The food was delicious but I will say when it came to service they really try to push the most expensive things without trying to understand your preferences. When asking about different types of alcohol, they seem to be focus more on the more higher end and when suggesting to get some thing a bit less expensive, they make you feel as if your choices are wrong and try to push other spirits instead of what you want. I'm all about enjoying a good tequila but not when it's mix . So in a preference of a margarita I don't need to spend $65 on a mix cocktail.

    If you're in puerto Vallarta this restaurant is a must!!! The food, drinks & ambiance is AMAZING. Ask for the dream team Juan, Nacata & Miriam! They will make your experience even better!

My wife and I went on an ATV excursion through a company called Estigo Tours. The tour took us through a number of places. Our tour guy Alex asked us if we wanted authentic Mexican food from a local spot for lunch or to go to somewhere commercial. Everybody on the tour answered authentic Mexican food and so we ended up here. When we arrived the locals, police and crowd of people were there eating and Alex explained to us that it can get a bit busy at lunch time. This to me meant the local people enjoyed this spot so I knew it had to be official. We managed to get a seat and that was great because my wife wanted to take a dip in the water at the little private beach. My wife loved the water and she swam for a while or fake swam for a while since she can't swim. Lol. I had ordered our food which came around that time. We ordered nachos with beef, chicken and guacamole. I believe she also had some shrimp. The food was orgasmic. The flavors were robust. I mean this food was on another level. My mouth is watering thinking about it now (5yrs later). Every time I eat Mexican food I think about this place. The food was just that good. The staff were very polite and also spoke English. That was excellent for me since I spoke a limited amount of Spanish. They kept the drinks coming and checked in us regularly to make sure we were enjoying our experience and had everything we need. I could not have asked for better service. They even brought us some things off menu that we desired drink wise. After all our food was done they helped us back to our ATV and we rode out with Estigo Tours to finish our excursion. Until today I had not known the name of this place to leave a review. I am happy to share my experience with out here so that they can know the joy this place creates. Be blessed all and if this review helps you in any way just leave a like or compliments or something.

We took a 20 minute Uber ride to have a beach day outside of zona Romantica where we were staying. We decided to leave because we were hungry and realized that one of the restaurants we bookmarked was just a 10 minute walk and decided to check it out. We were there celebrating a special birthday so we wanted to have one nice dinner and this is the place we chose. We got there around 5 PM and we were the only ones there on a Saturday but it was off-season (Aug) so PV in general was pretty quiet. We were welcome by a friendly man who took us to the top floor with a mountain beautiful view which actually was a nice change from the ocean. The greenery was beautiful. This restaurant is known for their seafood and boy was it fresh. They don't have a specific menu, but rather they bring out a tray of their fresh selection of the day. Everything was beautiful and the shrimp was gigantic. We opted for the red snapper, lobster and the large shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection and was absolutely delicious. Oh, and I have to make a point of mentioning their margaritas. Fresh fruit margaritas... So yummy. We tried the mango margarita with fresh mangoes and strawberry margarita as well. I just love drinks made with fresh fruits. I think it was my favorite margarita of the entire trip. I do highly recommend you check this place out. The food is phenomenal and the service is wonderful. The 20 minute Uber ride cost about US$15 so well worth it, especially if you do a beach day and make a day of it.

But. But, but, but... I would actually give La Madalena SIX stars. Service and ambiance were truly outstanding. Food was equally exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like honored guests. Servers were plentiful, professional, humorous and attentive. Our primary server was Alexis and his service was stellar - not only did he attend to our every request with a smile - he anticipated and was proactive. We also had a table side mixologist whose name escapes me (sorry!) but he was wonderful as well - making suggestions and creating specialty drinks on the fly. The staff made us feel like the only customers in the restaurant. Five of us succumbed to "eyes bigger than stomach" and ordered way too much food. We found the extensive menu both challenging (because *everything* sounded delicious) and exciting. Our favorites included (but were not limited to these because every dish we tried was outstanding): the Ceviche de Coliflor, Queso Fundido, Queso Quemado, Ensalada Verde con Vinagreta de Aguacate, and Beef Tenderloin for 2. Note that the presentation for the vast variety of steaks is quite impressive. All in all, they surpassed every single one of our expectations on this special night. I highly recommend you get yourself there and let the fine folks at La Madalena treat you right!

The food presentations were excellent and quality was nice but not my cup of tea for the entree (shrimp). I wish I could go back and reorder a steak or something different lol. It was just ok, but presentation made up for it! The bread was excellent and drinks were fun! I'd return but I highly recommend it for those wanting to get a change of pace from resort meals.

The view was so beautiful as the place was perched up on the cliff side. I got the Alpastor grilled octopus . It was delicious. My husband got the catch of the day which was Mahi Mahi. He said it was the best Mahi Mahi he had ever had. Compliments to the chef and the freshness. The toilet above the restaurant does not have a door or walls, really, but has a great view of ocean.

In addition to taking a little boat to the restaurant, which of course is part of its charm, there is a ladder where you have to get off a rocking boat and climb to the dock. I went there 12 years ago and I can't say that I was bothered by that a bit. But I went back last year and I found it extremely difficult and it was even harder to get back on the boat. Some folks that were older than me and less mobile were really really struggling so make sure you feel like you have the physical capacity to climb up a short ladder to get on the dock. Also, the only restroom is up or rather steep flight of stairs The highlight for me is the location which is spectacular and the little beach that you can take the path to after your lunch. Absolutely worth it but allow time because the last boat leaves around three.
