My friend and I were looking for a place for a nice dinner tonight. Puerto Vallarta has so many options but Phil suggested seafood. That narrowed the decision a bit, but not much. We discussed a couple of restaurants by the beach and landed on...Blue Shrimp. We were not disappointed.
From the warm greeting from the hostess to our wonderful server, Valentina, and even the bus boys, we were made to feel very welcome. Walking to our table, I noticed a cigar humidor. While I gave up smoking a few years ago, the cigars looked good and were a classy touch; although I'm not sure where you could smoke them.
The staff were extremely attentive and we were not rushed nor were we left waiting for anything. Valentina seemed to time everything just perfectly.
We started with a shared order of garlic bread and a shared Caesar salad. The salad was prepared table-side and the dressing expertly made from scratch in a traditional wooden bowl. It has been years since I have enjoyed a table-side Caesar and it brought back fond memories of great restaurants from the past.
I had the seafood linguini in a cream sauce. It was incredible and a good size portion including octopus, shrimp, scallops and mussels. Phil had the coquille st jacques and it looked really good.
Valentina graciously offered us a kahlua and cream cocktail followed by coffee.
While I didn't see the bill, I was told it was reasonable for the quality and quantity of food and the excellent service provided.
I definitely recommend the Blue Shrimp for a wonderful dining experience.
Bon apetit! Buen provecho! Happy dining!More
