We a regular customers because we love the view, the food, the staff, and especially the Chocolate Lava Cake for dessert. The restaurant is always consistent for a casual-plus dinner.

This is a beautiful riverside high end restaurant. The prices is fair for the quality and service. Food was fun and tasty. Faux risotto (corn based) wild greens salad, rack of lamb and tasty burgers were all delicious. Good wine selection and wonderful desert was served for our 39th anniversary celebration. Their wine selection is good but I brought two bottles for us his celebration. Service was fabulous and friendly and light without being overwhelmed. A perfect evening

This was our second visit to Blue Shrimp. As always, the food was amazing and fresh. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make the experience special. I want to give a special mention to our server, Polo. He was attentive, fun, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Thank you for an unmatched experience. We look forward to returning soon!

We have been to Vitea many times and it is always a great experience. Our server, Antonio, is always great and provides excellent service. For example, we had what appeared to be a corked bottle of wine that had a funky taste. I’ve only experienced this in another restaurant once before and it’s awkward to ask for a replacement but he was very gracious about it. Now for the food. The Greek salad is one of the best I’ve ever had and we keep coming back for it. They also have an incredible lamb ravioli with a vegetable ragout that is out of this world. Finally, the ambience is very charming. Due to the heat we are inside with the AC and they had very nice Buddha bar style music that created a very pleasant vibe. We sat at the window with a view of the Malecón and later in the evening the fireworks from the pirate ship. In high season we usually sit outside since they have a large outdoor seating area. In either case, the view and setting are charming.

After a week in PV and walking past Serrano many times we decided to try Serrano on our last night and to go with their fixed priced Restaurant Week menu. Wow! What a fabulous way to end our time in PV. The pork jowl appetizer was perfect. Both the fish and braised ribs were cooked perfectly. The flan was gigantic! And the basil gelato was inspired. So glad we closed out our trip with this restaurant. Can’t wait to be back!

We went to DD’s for Canadian Thanksgiving. We’re not Canadian, but I can’t turn down turkey and stuffing! The staff is always engaging, attentive, and as professional as you could ever hope for, and our servers, Daniel (and another whose name I forgot, sorry!) and everyone else made sure that tradition continued. They re-opened for the season just a few days before, so it was great to welcome them back. The dinner was just right. Lots of turkey and gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce and a very clever and delicious presentation of candied sweet potato. It totally hit the spot. Unfortunately, because of the on again/off again hurricane, there wasn’t much of a crowd. Too bad, because it was delicious, with enough left over for hot turkey sandwiches the next day (though I had to make my own gravy. I should have asked for extra!) It’s definitely one of my very favorite places on the malecón. They also have great brunch!

Very authentic japanese dining. I came here with my fiancé for our anniversary. We came in later in the night expecting to be treated fair or rushed out, but they were so professional and patient with us. They showed us that our anniversary mattered to them as it did for us. Which is very rare especially as i’ve had terrible experiences going out to eat. I work in a Japanese restaurant myself, so I can especially appreciate the effort they put into it. We were gifted lovely otoshi at the beginning of our meal from the chef. The drinks were very light and delicious, they’ve clearly put a great deal of effort into them. We loved the gyoza, the hamachi tostadas, and our sushi rolls. Very high quality fish… We got a beautiful display of fire for one of our rolls which was a very nice touch. With the dessert, they were so kind to bring us some cheesecake with our black sesame ice cream. Even when they’ve been plenty generous and hospitable. When we got our bill, we were gifted sake & cream shots to end our meal with. I highly encourage for anyone to come if they want not only excellent quality, service, and atmosphere. But, an excellent experience with Japanese food and hospitality.
