    Vitae is a wonderful restaurant. Food is great...we all had different choices and everyone was very happy. Service was timely and attentive but not too much. It is a parade walking by on the Malecon and you can see the sunset into the ocean.

    A great place to enjoy fine food and a beautiful Vallarta sunset! The frogs legs are especially wonderful, swimming in garlic butter. I also enjoyed the lettuce/arugula salad with pecans, blue cheese and dried cranberries, and my guests loved the salmon. You can probably skip the Caesar's salad, though, and the onion soup was overly salty. Otherwise, everything was great.

    Wait staff seemed slim. Drinks and foods given to the wrong persons. It would have been a disaster without Nabor (the best waiter but who had different tables). He at least filled in and corrected the errors.

    We were quickly seated with our reservation. We were greeted by our server and allowed considered time for options. The frog leg appetizer was amazing. I was properly advised on the portion but really could have enjoyed this in a larger portion as my entire meal (with the bread to soak up the olive oil, butter, garlic, and parsley sauce). The cezuela seafood bowl was also tasty. Certainly we will return on our next visit to Vallarta.
