The Happy Lobster

Excellent service. Drinks were good. We had the lobster and it was a good portion. Ceviche was good too. Our taxi recommend this place. We sat next to the Lobster statue on the second floor. :p Good for large groups or special occasions. Cheers!

This place was absolutely amazing. The quality of their seafood was great and they served rather large portions for surprisingly little money. I had the red snapper, despite it being a bit more expensive in the U.S. it was only ~280 pesos (14 dollars). Plus their desserts were to die for. I hope to go again next time I am in Puerto Vallarta.

An upstairs location in a neighborhood so mostly local clientele and not accessible for the disabled.
We were an elderly group of 13 celebrating 3 anniversaries of 34. 40 and 40 years respectively. The roaming musicians largely ignored us preferring to play to local groups so some of our planned celebrations were muted.
The picture attached was meant to be a filet of red snapper but the waiter persuaded me that the whole fish was the same price and better value. As one can see, this poor fish went through the business end of a crematorium before reaching me.
Using a handheld credit card machine, the waiter asked what tip I had in mind. I said 10% based on some sketchy service and food and he promptly processed a tip of 20%. Being in pesos and not having my old person glasses, it wasn't until after the fact that I noticed.
A couple with me asked for a single lobster tail and a skewer of shrimp each. The waiter persuaded them that a small platter would be more economical. When they got their bill, it was u003e5000 pesos or US$253, far in excess of what they were quoted. It was only after a twenty minute argument that management relented and reduced the bill to a more reasonable amount.
Some people might have better luck but not personally planning on returning.

I've been going to this place for years and I've always loved it. Beautiful views and wonderful service. I love the salsa (warning it's hot) as well as the margaritas and seafood casserole. Also while they are best known for seafood, I tried my fiancee's filet mignon and it was fantastic. I truly recommend this place!

It wasn’t what we expected. This restaurant came highly recommend by many, but the food fell short. My friend ordered scallops and they came out cold, and instead of replacing them, they tried to recook them and made them worse. My other friend and I ordered the special and the lobster was overcooked. The service was good but slow.

Although the food was good, I do not feel it was worth the price considering we had to take a cab to get there. It is not right on the water. The staff was very attentive and helpful with recommendations. Nothing stood out as spectacular, I feel you could get the same meal on the water at the same price without the extra cost of a cab.

What an amaizing culinary experience. Fresh sea food and fish. The live music is a bonus. Will come back for sure as part of our journey in Jalisco/Narayi. Really professional and kind staff
