    This is not our first time, nor the last! Their Iguana salad is delicious. The bread. The butter. The EVERYTHING. What a stunning building and history. Do not drive there, you must taxi or you’ll need to walk very steep hills. There is no where to park a car so don’t even try! Dress nice, no flip flops. Look over their dress attire before heading there. No kids under 10. Don’t miss their Mariachi band - check the schedule. Fireworks at 9 in distance. Gorgeous views from The Iguana. Worth every penny!! Arrive early for drinks in the courtyard. Historical photos of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor - whose home this used to be. Not just dinner, but this is a special place to be. Reservations. Best time for dinner 7-730

    Truly wonderful experience. The restaurant is in a quiet part just outside of the Malecon. Very peaceful. Views were stunning. Such an elegant vibe. Food was excellent. Would absolutely come back.

    Good meal in nice setting. Unfortunately, a Mariachi band was hired to play for a family sitting near us for someone's birthday. This would have been fine for a couple songs, but they played for a full hour and were very loud. We couldn't talk to each other and couldn't enjoy the atmosphere. The meal was quite good with nice salads, good portobello mushroom, very good red snapper, good short ribs, and good poblano soup. Service was quite efficient, although very formal. Overall, an enjoyable dinner, with the only negative being the loud and lengthy music.

    Loved the music and ambiance. A little slow getting us the check, and checking on us during the meal. Food was outstanding. Overall, it still remains the best restaurant in PV.
