We enjoyed a very nice meal. The beef brisket was fantastic. Service was exceptional. The restaurant was decorated beautifully. There was seating inside the outside on the deck overlooking the marina.

I went to this amazing establishment with my wife and 2 friends. I had a magnificent steak. My wife had a lovely chicken pasta dish. My friends had a Tuna Steak and I cant remember the other dish. We had excellent service. The atmosphere was fantastic. Whenever we are back in Nuevo Vallarta we will be back. Also loved the... More

My husband and I tried this restaurant on the recommendation of a couple that we met on the bus. It was a short walk from the Grand Mayan and we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is definitely upscale but you can dress casual. We chose to sit outside on the deck which is right on a river. There was live... More

The Food was Excellent and the wait staff were very professional and courteous. From the Rib Eye steaks to the catch of the day and the side dishes, all were prepared to order. Extensive wine list also. Highly recommended. A short 8 minute walk from the Grand Luxxe, Grand Mayan, and Grand Bliss. Highly recommended.

Let's face it, looking for an American style steakhouse in Porto Vallarta will yield you Mexican beef at American prices! It is expensive, looks good, service is great but..it goes without saying, when in Mexico, do what the Mexicans do! A good traditional Arachera (mexican marinated skirt steak) can be superb but, favorite American cuts like Filet, Strip and Porterhouse... More

We went to Prime 159 as a group of six people and everyone loved their meals. The physical restaurant is very nicely done, with a reasonably sized open air dining area with a very high roof (all done of some kind of tropical hardwood) and a nicely decorated inside area with an attached bar and lounge (only passed through these...

Just got back from a week long trip and Prime 159 was by far the best meal we had. The fried calamari and the rock (steak cooked on a hot stone) were fantastic appetizers. We had a party of 9 people and everyone raved over how good their food was. It was the only restaurant that we chose to eat... More

Nothing is cheap in PV, so forget the price, let's talk quality. We don't eat meat anymore, still was able to enjoy great seafood there. We loved the huge servings of salads, which is not found anywhere else other than our own kitchen. I had shrimp, which were huge meaty prawns. My husband enjoyed his mahi mahi, and especially his...

A short walk from the grand Mayan and the large time share property that also includes the grand bliss , luxxe. 1 2,3 is this steak house on the marina. I had the tuna tartare which was lovely and I cooked it on a hot stone- lovely. But this place feels like it's Manhattan decor and prices when one expects... More

I'm not going to weigh this down with words. Good wine list. Great appy, we had the carpaccio which was done with a yummy soy based sauce. We all had steaks (all USDA beef here) and all were good. I myself would go so far as to say my filet (tenderloin) was one of the best steaks I've had in... More
