I was taking a friend out for dinner Saturday and decided to try this place as I had walked by it countless times and was curious about it as I had noticed the kitchen staff is all female and they seem fairly busy. I had also seen a good review of the place on here before.

I went in the afternoon and got a reservation for the evening. We showed up and it took a while for someone to actually greet us and get us to out table. Then it took forever for someone to take our drinks order. There was about people in the room and it seemed staffed properly so I was wondering. Then our food order was taken and my friend ordered a glass of white wine with her entree and it is brought while we are still sipping our margaritas and the food is not even there yet and as it is warming up and we are still waiting for the appetizers, she had to ask the bartender if he could keep it in his fridge until our entrees arrive. We then get our appetizers and they got mine wrong.I had ordered their cold soup, the avocado soup and they got it quickly but it came straight out of the fridge and too cold and no taste. We then received our main meal which was a fish filet in green sauce. It was good but the portions were really small and at 260 pesos I thought it was a rip off as I got better fish and was nicer servings at El Manglar for half the price. We had flan for dessert and it was very good and the highlight of the meal.

All in all, a disappointing meal and not a place I could recommend as for the price there is much better and the view is so-so as the view of the bay is mostly obstructed.

That is too bad. We really like this place. The female singer from Mexico City, Patrica, is an amazing talent!

Music is a whole different story and subjective. I noticed their clientele was much older so maybe they cater to them with the pricing and music. But service and sizes and pricing was not good and definitively not a place I would recommend when there are tons of good and great places in Zihua and Ixtapa.

Sorry to hear about your negative experience. We visit once or twice each trip and have always had a worthwhile meal. Gaby and Jorge have made us welcome each time and make sure everything falls in place for a enjoyable time. While it may not be the best 'meal deal' in town, I always feel that we get our money's worth.

Same with us. The year after the fire in the building in front of them we ordered flambéd dishes and when he arrive to start cooking I placed a fire extinguisher which I had brought with me on the table. Got a pretty good laugh.
