Whenever we're in Puerto Vallarta we make a point to go to the River Cafe. We've never been disappointed. Lovely setting, with great, friendly, helpful staff and food always excellent. Be sure and try the baked brie, delicious. All five of us had something different and we all said, we'd order again. Pricing is reasonable for the excellent quality. Treat yourself and enjoy a meal at the River Cafe.

Honestly, we were treated like royalty! The service was superb! We all had something different so we had flying forks all over trying bites - fun! Alejandro took such good care of all of us. He also did the music mix and we were all singing at the table!!! Beautiful venue. Highly recommend.

Wow! Perfect place for a romantic dinner on the river. Excellent food, service and ambience. We had lobster avocado salad, ribeye steak, mahi mahi and risotto. All beautiful presentation and superb taste. Homemade warm bread with butter and live musician who sang like frank sinatra put it over the top!
