Hacienda de Oro Restaurante & Bar

You're going to thank me later for this one Folks! Like I've said before I don't leave a lot of reviews unless something is extraordinary one way or the other. We've been to every quote unquote nice place and Puerto Vallarta this one tops them all Chef inspired food without the chef inspired prices paired with some of the most beautiful serenic nature views I have seen in Mexico combined with unparalleled service and friendly staff. You can easily spend a couple hours wandering a free-flowing river hiking trails and or the thousands of beautiful flowers or simply come for a delicious and scenic meal... Enjoy but don't tell too many people you know about this place, I'd hate to come back and have to wait.

This restaurant has such lovely atmosphere with great servers! Sitting on the patio overlooking the gardens and river is such a beautiful view. The best part was seeing all the different beautiful birds flying around, and having atleast 4 hummingbirds coming up to the feeder was such a lovely sight. The brick oven nachos were so so good and the rustic avocado salad was even better!! Overall great vibes! Thank you Adrian for the great service and knowledgeable insights on the different birds!

Delicious food prepared fresh. Service is friendly and on point. Great view on the patio. Homemade chips and salsa!

This is a must when visiting the botanical gardens. The view is phenomenal and the food wonderful; two things that hardly ever come together to equal a great experience!

Super hard to beat the serenity and calmness of this place! Food is good, but what is super awesome is the vibe, the service, people and the music! None of that up beat high bass city music! Live violin and piano… relaxing songs.. birds singing, if you seat on the balcony you can also enjoy a little breeze and the fade sound of water in the background! Can not possibly explain how relaxing this place was in words! There is a 300mxn entry fee for the gardens( totally worth it). The food was very fairly priced, nicely presented, good mix of drinks as well! Staff were super nice and helpful too! Make sure you pay attention to the million pieces of handmade tiles and other art prices as well! Cleanness: clean Seating: indoor and balcony Service: great Views: super awesome Noise level: rather quite and relaxing Food: good Price: fair Menu diversity: good mix of American and Mexican plus oven made pizza

Welcomed by their complimentary hibiscus iced tea... Relaxing view... Friendly staff that feels like a friend you have never met. Regarding the food I expected it to be overpriced and touristy... However it was made with real love. I had the Botanical Garden Salad and the Chocolate and Macadamia Cake with their organic local coffee. The Salad was super fresh with ingredients from the surrounding botanical garden accompanied with the Maracuja Vinaigrette which offered sweet savory deliciousness. The cake was a perfect combination of layered cake and cream. Smooth and not too sweet. The coffee was honestly somewhat weak but I got free refills which balanced it out.

Wonderful restaurant and bar at the top of the botanical gardens. The food is delicious and drinks are out of this world. Hummingbirds and beautiful hanging plants surround your every view. Really makes spending extra time here to view all the birds and plants a real treat.

What attracted us here was the botanical garden but what was really good was the restaurant. Beautiful view of the greenery and birds, nice breeze, big portion and good food. We got: Botanical nacho — 3/5, average Mexican pizza — 5/5, unique topping, good crust Penne — 5/5, surprisingly good, good sauce, comes with fresh garlic toasts
