Thoughts on Ocean Grill Vallarta? : r/puertovallarta – Reddit
It’s kind of a pain to get to and from and if you ask me the food is overrated. Beautiful location and unique experience otherwise.

Do not miss this place. It is absolutely incredible. I had the grilled shrimp. I think it’s probably the best grilled shrimp I’ve had in my life! The atmosphere is incredible. We went by a boat at 3 o’clock in the afternoon could not believe this restaurant was sitting up on a mountain side overlooking the ocean. I’m in love with this place and want to go back.

Beautiful atmosphere at the water. Food was fantastic. Had ceviche trio, Mahi Mahi, grilled octopus. Take a water taxi in and there is a small beach 2 minutes away as you wait for your table.

Loved OG!
An unforgettable experience from the very start. The pick-up at the pier and the boat ride are part of the charm. Upon arrival, the view of the beautiful Colomitos Beach takes your breath away — a hidden paradise. The food is absolutely delicious, made with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. Every dish was spot on. The atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for enjoying the setting and good company. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Without a doubt, Ocean Grill is a must-visit spot in Puerto Vallarta. Highly recommended!

March 22, 2025-had an amazing lunch at Ocean Grill in Boca de Tomatlán. You need to make reservations so a water taxi can come for you and it’s cash only but worth the dining experience!! I ate here with my husband and cousin and our experience could not have been any more perfect!! I have dined here multiple times and each time is nothing short of excellent. The staff, the atmosphere, the food and drinks- all incredible!

A friend of ours found this place, so off we went. The restaurant is a 25 minute cab ride and 5 minute boat ride south of old PV. The cab ride cost about $20 USD, very affordable to what we’re used to, and the boat ride is free if you’re dining at Ocean Grill, which is open only for lunch.
Once at the pier in Boca de Tomatlan, you jump into a small boat that takes you to the restaurant which is one cove over. The ride was smooth. We arrived 18 minutes past our 1pm reservation, but was warmly welcomed to our corner, oceanfront table. We didn’t experience any problems with tardiness, which wasn’t our fault anyway, as the first shuttle boat was full.
ATMOSPHERE:
The restaurant is built on a deck and into the cliff side. The onwer’s huge dog greets guests with a friendly bark hello. There’s an open-air grass hut and umbrella-protected seating, with killer views and calming ocean music. A relaxing lounge area with sofas look out onto the beautiful Pacific next door. The single, unisex toilet is up a flight of steps and totally outdoors. It’s fairly private with foliage, and as long as you lower the parking lot-like “occupied” arm, that’ll keep traffic down a few steps. Very cool, but difficult for those with walking disabilities.
MENU:
Salad, seafood apps, chicken, fish, burgers, lobster, octopus, ribs. They were out of lobster, scallops, and oysters for the 1pm seating.
BEVERAGE:
2 in our party thoroughly enjoyed the green margaritas.
FOOD:
Shrimp Aguachile
I’ve never eaten raw shrimp before, but it was surprisingly good, and not “shrimpy” tasting at all. A generous amount of shrimp were bathed in a green lime sauce that had a smooth, savory and tart flavor, mixed with cucumbers, and topped with red onions & cilantro. Very refreshing app to start with.
Ocean Grill Guacamole
Yummy, chunky, and creamy guac! The best yet we’ve had in PV. The chips were on the thicker side.
Caesar Salad
Whole baby romaine leaves were coated in a fairly good caesar dressing, sprinkled with soap box cheese (AKA Kraft,) and topped with croutons. Mainstream but good.
Shrimp
Wow, these 4 buggers were huge! Cooked perfectly in a light butter-garlic sauce with a slight hint of coconut. I’m not a coconut fan but could tolerate it in this dish. Highly recommended.
Octopus
The partial mollusca sported 3 fairly thick suction cup legs, over 3 small breakfast-style potatoes, topped with a kalamata olive tapenada, and a plate side drizzle of a tomato-pineapple-onion-like salsa. The texture of the octopus was good, tender yet slightly chewy, but overall had zero taste. I come from Hawaii where we make octopus in several different styles with tons of flavor. Not here. Pass.
Ocean Grill BBQ Ribs
My spouse’s dish. The meat was super tender and fell off the bone, and was basted in a traditional BBQ sauce. Very mainstream but good. He opted for a side of fried plantains which I didn’t try.
DESSERT:
We declined any after being told that all the desserts are from Costco sans for one item. Bleh.
SERVICE:
Our local male server was friendly but not all together there. He hardly checked on us, so my spouse’s request for more BBQ sauce for his ribs wasn’t met. Dishes got dropped off to the wrong person at the table, and he plainly didn’t seem into being there. There as another male server or bus boy, who I think was American that was helping him out, was very friendly and professional. Another guy, I’m presuming who is the owner, checked on us during our apps session.
TIPS:
Children under 14 are not allowed, which is great for a relaxing experience, but could also be a safety issue due to the boat ride and access to the restaurant.
Open for lunch only.
Reservations via credit card are required.
Not handicapped accessible.
There are a lot of house rules, so check out the website before committing.
No cell reception.
OVERALL:
It was almost a half day journey to eat here from where we stayed in PV. Cool restaurant with a great ambiance, okay food & service.

We had a very deeply disappointing experience at Ocean Grill. We had looked forward to our meal as a highlight of our trip, but unfortunately, it was a highly unpleasant experience.
The service we received was very poor. One guest was served a very thin tail portion of fish that had to be sent back. When a replacement was brought out, it looked much better but was completely raw inside. Another guest in my party ordered salmon, which also arrived raw and was still cold from the refrigeration. Furthermore, when I requested hot sauce, it did not arrive until 10–15 minutes after my son had to get up to find a waiter.
He found a group of about five staff members standing around talking. When he mentioned that it wasn’t right for them to be ignoring guests, the staff became very upset. Someone came to our table and told us it was time to leave, and the servers began mocking us as we exited. We were never rude; we were simply there to enjoy the food and the beautiful location. We were never offered a second cocktail or dessert, and we refused to pay for the two plates that were inedible.
We asked to speak with the owner at the time, as I am certain he would want to know how his staff is treating guests. I believe we were treated so egregiously that I would welcome the opportunity to have a conversation with the owner regarding this matter.

Excellent ambiance staff and food. The owner came by our table to say hi with his puppies. Short ribs, burger and catch of the day were all good. And unbelievably, a humpback whale gave a performance and breached 19 times for the lunch guests! Simply amazing!

This was a fun experience travelling south of Puerto Vallarta to a little town to catch the Ocean Grill motor boat to get to the restaurant. The website makes a place look quite glamorous, but it is a little tired. However, the food was absolutely delicious. I had the jumbo shrimp and they were grand. The margaritas were super as well. The boat ride… Let’s just say that the little boat was quite full on the way back and I was glad to have had two delicious margaritas. By the way, be sure to find your way to the water closet, which is an experience in itself. It was a fun little place to have a great lunch with friends.

The food was good but too expensive. They had a small menu and they were out of a couple of items which made our choices even more limited. We had the catch of the day which was mahi mahi. Quite tasty & a pretty presentation. The key lime pie was bland and tasted store bought. Beautiful setting. If you want to get to the beach from the restaurant be cautious. The “walkway” was falling apart, extremely dangerous! Most of the restaurant was under construction. There was a beautiful pool that overlooked the ocean but guests were not allowed to use it. Not sure why. The beach itself was swimmable but not the cleanest. Too many water, taxis, garbage and debris in the water. We got to see some cool fish and jellyfish also so be cautious about that as well. Not very crowded. The only services were at the restaurant. So unless you make reservations (online only) and deal with potential death walking across the pathway, you won’t have a bathroom available to use.

We hiked in which took longer than I expected (about 25 mins from Villa Buen Palo where there is a map posted). The trail winds back and forth a lot and the entrance is on the west side, pretty close to Colomitos beach. We were the only group at the 3pm seating, but everything was great! We had the tuna sashimi, chips and guac, shrimp, salmon, and octopus. The shrimp was the best in my opinion.
We went to Colomitos beach afterward and caught a water taxi back to Boca.
