We could not have asked for a better dining experience. The food was phenomenal and the service was right there with it. There were so many surprises laced into our dining experience, including a few special chefs tastings. Additionally, the live pianist was amazing and provided for a perfect ambiance. My fiancé even had to stop and get his information!

I've been coming here for the past 20 years and this is the first time there was an issue the meal. 4 of the 7 people dining ordered the see bass. All commented it was overcooked and dry. One guest returned hers and the others ate theirs. Overall the experience was great and my filet was excellent.

This restaurant is overrated. As I mentioned, ambience and services were outstanding...but the food was average. Our order consisted of: 1. Cream of Prawn and Pumpkin Soup which was average. Nothing to boast about! 2. Catch of The Day...chef's special: Red snapper (my favorite fish) was over cooked! Felt rubbery with absolutely flavorless sauce! 3. Green Salad and More: Green salad, pea and watercress mousse, smoked asparagus, avocado, Brussels sprouts, broad beans, chia seed vinaigrette. There were No asparagus or Brussels in the salad! 4. Sea Bass fish: This was ok dish. Overall, just disappointing. Even more disappointing, none of the servers was wearing Mask! (All other places we visited servers were masked.

The place is spectacular, beauriful and romantic, the service could be a lot better. Food is very good but too pricey. It is a restaurant that you have to see, but thinking in other restaurants in Vallarta, it could be a lot better experience. More professionalism in their service in general.

Everything was excellent! Last night fully confirmed my experience of last October: I had feared a couple of years ago that Cafe des Artistes was getting "tired" the foie gras was equally so (and if you ask, you may get a fine sauterne to go with it--for a very modest price). The octopus preparation was imaginative and delicious. As always, the wine selection by the glass was top-notch. Rafael's service was friendly, attentive, & knowledgeable. I look forward to my next visit.

I enjoy the live music, food and drinks. Great for a date, special occasions or just a fun tasting experience with friends.

My husband and I spent a delightful evening here for his birthday. We elected to have the tasting menu with wine pairing. The food was outstanding, every course better than the last. I cannot say enough about the excellent service throughout the evening -- shout-out to Manny and Gerardo! Our table was in the garden; the ambience was perfection with beautiful lighting and lovely music from the violin and piano players. It was one of most memorable dining experiences ever. Highly recommend.
