Awesome dinner with a gorgeous sunset view. Was taking so many photos of the sunset forgot to take pictures of the food. The clam ceviche was outstanding. My tuna tostada was very tasty and well prepared. My sister in law had the octopus dish with plantain chips and shared, which all rave about. 4 people and not one complaint. Diego, the manager and his staff will take good care of you. Many thumbs up as you can see from photo with Diego.

Oysters were so sweet and delicious that I've gone here twice already on my trip. Pescado Zarandeado was also really good. Staff was super friendly and attentive, high recommend

Just wow. Everything about this restaurant is thoughtfully executed. High ceilings, natural wood accents and open air make it a stand-out from the other spots on the Malecon. I had the pulpo tostada, a tiradito on special, a gorgeous fish and guac for the main, and finished with the volcan (think molten lava cake but 1000x better) and a green tea w subtle floral accents. Diego served me and was warm and helpful. Had a chance to speak with the head chef and the dedication, professionalism and passion for their craft really shine through his leadership. Treat yourself - it’s worth it. Time your visit to enjoy the sun setting on the ocean. If you’re lucky you’ll spot dolphins!

As you can see we ate all our appetizers. The oysters were delicious. The tequila presentation was excellent. The service was wonderful. We had fried fish and a paella type rice was also amazing. Plus the service was excellent. Definitely recommend the restaurant.

I literally just came for the oysters and left feeling like family. The oysters were some of the freshest I ever had. I wish I would have ordered more but next I will update review with other options. The service was great and even the locals welcomed us. It was a great place to have drinks and enjoy the breeze during the day! I highly recommend this place if you doing lunch. Not sure what the night vibe is like but sure it is similar to daytime.

Just went for a quick break from the sun a bit. Had some drinks and oysters. The oyster size was quite small, but I enjoyed trying a mixed platter. for 6 oysters, it was about 250 pesos. I think the vibe was great and pretty modern. Reminded me of Bali. It's weird to say, but I actually like the washroom as this was quite spacious than others, lol.

Location: Conveniently located on the Malecon Boardwalk, Oyster Grill de la Docena did not disappoint. After spending an hour shopping, we decided to grab some drinks and a bite to eat and escape the heat! Service: We arrived shortly after they opened. We were able to choose our seats so we decided on a table with an ocean view and breeze. We were greeted by a friendly waitress who took our drink order. We received our drinks (Espresso martini , Pina colada, and a Pacifico) within five minutes. Next, we ordered our food. We received our meal within 25 minutes. Drinks: As mentioned above, we ordered Espresso martini , Pina colada, and a Pacifico beer. My daughter had the espresso martini, two actually, I had the pina colada, and my husband had two Pacifico beers. They were all delicious! Food: The food took awhile to come out but it was worth the wait. My husband and I ordered the ribeye burger and a side order of fries to share. Our daughter ordered guacamole and chips which she enjoyed. The burgers were truly tender and seasoned nicely. After a week of eating Mexican food, a delicious burger hit the spot! Price: The total cost for our meal was approximately 100 US Dollars. This is for two entrees, an order of guacamole and chips, a side order of fries, three cocktails, and two beers. Considering the location, I was satisfied with the cost. Overall Opinion: Don’t sleep on this restaurant. Give it a go if you have the time and budget. We were pleasantly surprised.

The restaurant was amazing, the food was great, and the service was spectacular! We tried their seasonal drinks and ordered their oysters (4x4x4) and marlin tostadas. The tostadas had a nice smokey flavor and I love that they offered a mix to experience different types of oysters. I had their Heart of Passion seasonal cocktail and it tasted like a tropical vacation personified. The waiters were super friendly and overall had a great time. I also was touched that this restaurant supports a nonprofit that offers a professional cooking training course for socially vulnerable young people in Latin America. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who’s looking for good oysters and seafood in PV.
