Phenomenal food. Great service. Extensive wine list. However there is no sound baffling. It can be very hard to have a conversation when a musician is playing anywhere in the main room. Very impressive musical skills but overpowering. I recommend a later dinner reservation after the music has stopped.

This is my 4th time there and the ambiance and service are always good, and eating in the outside garden area is particularly nice. The food is decent compared to most places although I would say it only matches a middle class American restaurant and would only be a runner up for a high end restaurant in America. Yes, I realize I’m not in America when I eat there … but if they are going to charge American prices like they do, then the comparison is fair. So my only problem is the price paid for the food, and especially the drinks. I think it’s about 20 - 30% too high depending on the item, with the food about 20% too high and the drinks 30% too high.

I hate it when "the Chef" wants us at the table order the same type of Menu and also hate not having the freedom to order whatever you want to becuase its not convenient for the restaurant Anyway, my octopus main course had no flavor and lack of salt Don't waist your money, it's not worth it... not what it used to be years ago, like Puerto Vallarta itself

Una experiencia un poco desagradable debido a que al llegar nos asignaron una mesa muy alejada aún cuando había disponibles ya que solo estaban dos mesas ocupadas cuando llegamos, tuvimos que pedir que nos cambiaran de lugar, aunado a esto no duramos ni 20 min en sobremesa y el mesero nos lleva la cuenta sin pedirla siendo las 9 pm cuando el restaurante cierra alas 11. Meseros buen servicio, comida buena .

Everything was great except I expressed to two servers that I had a serious dairy allergy, and after being very clear in Spanish and English and getting confirmation it was understood, I was presented with dishes laden with dairy and was sick for the entire night. I was fine to eat anything off the menu without dairy I am super easy going and the level of reaction was next level so I know the concerns were not taken seriously by the kitchen. It’s not no butter because I am skipping fats it’s because I get violently ill. So overall beware if you have allergies! Would also be nice to know if you’re being seated inside instead of the beautiful garden which was only reason we went. I don’t ever do a bad review but I truly was so sick it was awful.

Wonderful respite from the typical restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. If you have a chance to get a reservation at Cafe des Artistes grab it. The ambiance of the garden transports you to a serene dining experience. The food is fantastic and the service top notch. Please don’t miss this restaurant on your next visit to PV.
