Puerto Vallarta Restaurant Review:
Daiquiri Dick's (which is much more upscale than the name might suggest) has become a fixture in Puerto Vallarta.
SETTING - The ground floor of a condominium building, right on the beach in Old Town, downtown P.V. There is an elegant open-air dining room and also a great patio where you can see the surf.
FOOD - Dick's is American-owned, and the food is New American with a focus on seafood (but not exclusively). There are also Italian flavors, like the wonderful Bruschetta (topped with diced avocado, feta cheese, and capers), and the Linguini Aglia y Olio (garlic & oil) topped with Mussels & Shrimp. Entrees at dinner are $15-$30. The margaritas are not large, but they're strong. For more information on the menu, click here.
AMBIANCE - Daiquiri Dick's is kind of a California place -- spacious, contemporary, open-aired, and relaxed. The name sounds like a beach bar (it's not), so leave the t-shirt and swimsuit at the hotel. To find out more about the restaurant, click here.
RESERVATIONS - Recommended, especially at dinner.
BOTTOM LINE - Daiquiri Dick's is the kind of place you go back to. |
