The Happy Lobster - Puerto Vallarta

Amazingly fresh seafood. Really excellent service Qnd fun ambience. The waiters are super professional and attentive. The seafood was the best we had in Puerto Vallarta Qnd vety, which is appropriate for freshness and quality. We're coming back!

An upstairs location in a neighborhood so mostly local clientele and not accessible for the disabled. We were an elderly group of 13 celebrating 3 anniversaries of 34. 40 and 40 years respectively. The roaming musicians largely ignored us preferring to play to local groups so some of our planned celebrations were muted. The picture attached was meant to be a filet of red snapper but the waiter persuaded me that the whole fish was the same price and better value. As one can see, this poor fish went through the business end of a crematorium before reaching me. Using a handheld credit card machine, the waiter asked what tip I had in mind. I said 10% based on some sketchy service and food and he promptly processed a tip of 20%. Being in pesos and not having my old person glasses, it wasn't until after the fact that I noticed. A couple with me asked for a single lobster tail and a skewer of shrimp each. The waiter persuaded them that a small platter would be more economical. When they got their bill, it was >5000 pesos or US$253, far in excess of what they were quoted. It was only after a twenty minute argument that management relented and reduced the bill to a more reasonable amount. Some people might have better luck but not personally planning on returning.

What an amaizing culinary experience. Fresh sea food and fish. The live music is a bonus. Will come back for sure as part of our journey in Jalisco/Narayi. Really professional and kind staff

Got some oysters and a platter for 2 with a 2 lb lobster, crab, 4 shrimp, sea bass fillet, and rice and 2 margaritas. The oysters were not very flavorful, but they did taste fresh. The lobster and crab were very fresh tasting with lots of meat. The margaritas were delicious. The sea bass was unfortunately dry and not very tasty, but the rest was great

Excellent service. Drinks were good. We had the lobster and it was a good portion. Ceviche was good too. Our taxi recommend this place. We sat next to the Lobster statue on the second floor. :p Good for large groups or special occasions. Cheers!
