Fodor's Review:

Grandiose yet romantic, these impressive second-story digs have a celestial seasoning of stars on the ceiling in the form of tin lamps from Guadalajara. Dark-blue and deep terra-cotta walls juxtapose nicely; the huge space is saved from looking industrial by innovative installations and fixtures. Co-owner and chef Amadine's recipes wed traditional Argentine meats with updated Continental cuisine in a happy transcontinental marriage. Portions are smallish, and entrées exclude sides. There's live music Sunday and occasional flamenco shows or tango classes.

This is quite a place! Rivals anything anywhere in Mexico and certainly not what you expect in a sleepy little beach town way north of Vallarta. The whole Nayarit coast is going upscale though - gated communities with zillion dollar houses (or should I say compounds). Food, service, atmosphere all top notch but take LOTS of money.
