Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The art of reinvention is showcased at Daiquiri Dick's Restaurant, Olas Altas #314 on Los Muertos Beach in Zona Romantica. Their award winning take-out spot, The Deli, has closed and in its space is the new DD's Lounge.

The remodel includes comfortable sofa seating, low tables, subdued lighting and an extended snack menu featuring The Deli's famous marinated olives, hummus and summer roll. Many appetizers from the regular menu are included along with some new, soon-to-be favorites among clients. You can also order off of the dessert menu.

Kick back and enjoy the live background music by some of the city's most popular musicians on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 8 to 10 pm featuring Lenny Lopez, Jorge Acosta, a combination of them, or other great players. Or drop by during the sunset hours for a cocktail or a glass of wine and listen to the New Age piano music of Antonio Lecomte.

Daiquiri Dick's has an extensive wine list highlighting selections from Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Italy and the United States. The mixologists create an array of libations from the full bar, including the award-winning Margarita Linda, martinis and tropical drinks.
