Bogart's - Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo

Went to Bogarts for dinner. Nice atmosphere and the food was good but the portions were pretty small. We thought it was over priced for what you got. Our waiter seemed drunk.

I enjoyed this restaurant very much, however the prices are a little high. I will go back, however because there are other things on the menu I want to try, and since I'm staying at the Krystal, it's very convenient.

Decided to give Bogart's a try for a family vacation dinner. The inside has an Indian decor. Our waiter, Freddie, was a very nice gentleman and tried to make this a classy dinner. He was very courteous and helpful. The menu was a nice change from the usual taco, burrito, and tuna steaks found on most menus. They offered lamb, salmon, and cuts of beef. I had the steak, but found the meat to be dry and tough. The side dishes consisted of no more than a few small pieces of squash and bell peppers. The other dinners also were not very good quality. Looks like this place was nice at one time, but is past its prime. Would not recommend.

We went on a weekday and they gave us our choice of seating. It was nice to have a big booth with a view of the room. We had caesar salad, pepper steak, wine, and dessert. It seemed like they had no staff supporting the waiters. Ours was in charge of 2 tables and easily distracted so he had trouble completing tasks. This restaurant has the caesar prepared at your table, but it took this guy 4 tries to assemble the ingredients on the cart. The steak was large enough and good with the sauce on the side. The veggies and potato side servings were very small. Our waiter did not recommend the chocolate cake, said there was no ice cream or other cake and insisted on making us crepe suzettes. Again the problem assembling the ingredients. From ordering Spanish coffee and a piece of cake, it was an hour later when we both had creppes and he was starting the painful process of assembling the ingredients for the coffee. We cancelled the coffee and begged for our bill … which we got 30 minutes later. Looping music was grating after two hours. For a nice night out, we enjoyed the Ixtapa marina restaurants and Las Barisas II (by the water) much more.

Bogart's is our favorite place to dine while in Ixtapa! Freddy is the best server. Everything on the menu is wonderful, especially those dishes that are prepared right at your table. The atmosphere is spectacular!! You must visit!
