During the low season (from July 23rd to October 13th), we operate with 2 service times: 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM, and we close at 4:00 PM.

High season hours (starting October 15th) will be 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM, with closing time at 5:00 PM.

To make a reservation, the system requires a non-refundable prepayment of $120 pesos per person for round-trip boat transportation. This amount is not refundable in case of cancellations or no-shows. If you hike in or arrive by your own boat, this payment will serve as a deposit and will be deducted from your bill on the day of your visit.

By making a reservation, you acknowledge and accept our reservation policies. Please visit our website for more information.

Please note; our weather and waves can change on a moment's notice. We may have to cancel the water taxi and close the restaurant if the waves are too high. This only happens occasionally but if we do you will receive a text on the phone number you leave with open table.

We found the meals not up to their previous high standards and the price per person with tip just a couple house marqueritas, (though delicious), was over $1100 per person. On top of the extra 120$ for the boat ride, which used to be free of charge.

For Puerta Vallarta "a one of a kind" / off the beaten track by Mismaloya / a short 10 minute boat ride to the grill Outdoor - laid back / wonderful service / no rush Reservations needed / a couple of seating times each day Food pricing moderate / good portions / efficient and pleasant staff / we were a party of 12 / probably the best group experience of the week and this was the third year we have been back Not to be missed

Mahi was over cooked and the shrimp tasted old. The bathrooms are in the middle of nowhere with lots of stairs and climbing.

What a unique and absolutely outrageous experience. My partner and I hiked to the beach and worked up an appetite. We sauntered over to the restaurant after a dip to cool down. We had a trio ceviche as an appetizer, she had the catch of the day and I had the octopus. All of it was amazing. There was tremendous value in all of it. We then took a boat back to town. Must do.

We had a nice experience at Ocean Grill. The water taxi was such a cool way to go and definitely provided anticipation and excitement . The restaurant itself is rustic, romantic and exactly what you could expect from a cliff side restaurant. Beautiful views and a unique atmosphere. The service was great, although a bit slow in the beginning to order our drinks. The waiter was very attentive from then on, and checked back about the food. We ordered smoked marlin tostadas which were really good. They are served 4 to a plate, unlike some restaurants that serve 3 items in an appetizer. Highly recommend! I ordered the jumbo shrimp and my husband the catch of the day, mahi-mahi. We both had the same side dishes, mashed sweet potato and grilled vegetables. My shrimp were cooked perfectly, although I felt lacked seasoning and could have had a little more char on the outside, and a little more sauce on the plate. My husband’s fish was swimming in butter, maybe a bit too much. Both plates were beautifully presented and matched the feeling of the restaurant. Good quality. Of the dessert options, they had sold out of the one that appealed to us the most, so we went for espresso martinis instead. The manager checked in on all the tables which I find to be a great thing that all restaurants should do. Just a nice touch. I think this is a special occasion place and the prices reflect that. Cash only.

A novel experience being perched on the side of a cliff. Food excellent service great. Only negative is the washroom, if you need to use remember to pull the bar down indicating it is occupied, there is no door on it.
