If you want a romantic dinner, I would urge you to book a candlelight dinner at La Palapa on the beach. This restaurant, the first on Los Muertos, has served savory appetizers and fresh seafood to upscale beachgoers since 1957. An even more romantic option is the spectacular Le Kliff Restaurant, about a half hour south of Puerto Vallarta, just past the location where Richard Burton and Ava Gardner filmed Tennessee Williams’ The Night of the Iguana. We had the most amazing dinner at Le Kliff, and caught a sunset that made me want to stay there forever. We split the goat cheese salad and I had the roasted pork loin with fennel while my lover enjoyed his seared salmon with chili orange glaze. As the sunset we shared a chocolate lava cake and a bottle of Don Luis Terra. A storm moved through Le Kliff at dusk and the electricity went out. Tropical birds came out of nowhere and rested on the boards of the Palapas above us and we snuck a kiss over the candlelight on our table.
