   We were horrified at the experience we had last night. We have dined several times at Cafe Des Artistes & it was one of our favorites in PV. We were seated at the very end of the restaurant inside & this is after we had made reservations weeks ago requesting to be outside. When we arrived we were told it could be a one hour wait to be seated outside. We were all very hungry so we settled on being seated inside. Slow service would have been acceptable. The service was abysmal. We asked 4 times for bread, the drinks took forever to arrive & arrived separately. The waiter knew we were hungry & that seemed to make him move more slowly. The menu was too full of itself. Items that didn’t belong together in a dish as if the chef had ingredients he needed to use up. My friend & I ordered the seared ahi tuna. It was too rare, I didn’t mind it as I barely ever eat tuna. My friend orders ahi quite often & he found it unacceptable. The others at the table ordered the lamb, one liked it but the other found it too chewy. I spilled my drink on my friend by accident. Nobody came to help us, they didn’t offer to change the table linen & I had to get up to find another napkin. I ordered a replacement drink which took 15 mins to arrive & for which I was charged. Customarily that is never done in a fine dining restaurant. When the Bill came, they added 2 very expensive glasses of wine to our check which we never ordered, as if they expected us not to notice. The entire bill was $370 for mediocre food & horrible service. Never going back again. What a shame.

   For 30 years the best fine dining experience. Chef Blouet ensures consistent offerings on a creative and ever evolving menu. First time in 25+ years we have not had the pleasure of Polo Tovar managing service - we wish him well in his retirement! We met Job, who is taking over the service responsibilities and given his experience, including at Tuna Blanca, he will carry on the tradition of great service. The changes recently made to the already stellar ambience just raise the bar that much higher. Shout out to our server Daniel! Kudos to all!!!

    We were PV for Thanksgiving and I wanted to do a special dinner out away from our resort. I remembered Cafe des Artistes from years before and felt it would be the perfect spot. It was amazing. There is nothing else like it. Everything was perfect.

    One of the best dining experiences of my life. The service was as good or better than any restaurant I’ve been to anywhere in the world. Attentive but not cloying staff. They allowed us to eat at our pace, asked if we wanted to linger on a course, and generally never made us feel rushed. The food was great. The short rib was richly succulents and our highlight. Note that they recently expanded their garden area so it’s much more available than previous. We didn’t observe any wait on a pretty high traffic night. The highest of recommendations.

    A beautiful restaurant, but the food is not to the level I expected for the reputation this restaurant has. Lobster Bisque was delicious, but the main course was so uninspiring that I cannot even remember what I ate! All four diners said the same thing about their entrees.

    We loved this restaurant. We sat in the garden -- which was pretty amazing. It's like having dinner in a rainforest without the rain. Very cool lights hanging from the trees, waterfalls. It was unlike any other place I have ever eaten. The service was outstanding, and the food was excellent. Portion size of the food was on the smaller size, which I appreciated. I hate going out to eat and they give you 32oz of meat....I had the pork belly and it was two appropriate sized pieces that were really tasty. They have a violinist walking around playing for the tables and taking requests. He is playing in unison with a piano player that is playing live inside. It was quite impressive. I was with a group - this place could be a very romantic place for couples.

    Mi esposa y yo asistimos al evento de Pujol & Café Des Artistes al horario de las 8:30 pm, el horario anterior fue a las 6 pm. El coctel de bienvenida inició precisamente a las 8:30 pm sin embargo nos pasaron a mesa aproximadamente a las 9:40 pm, la cena era anunciada como de 8 tiempos que terminaron siendo 11 platillos en 10 tiempos. Definitivamente fue fantástico el tener 5 tiempos elaborados por cada reataurante, parecía una competencia encarnizada por ganar los paladares de quienes asistimos. Fue una experiencia grata el ser testigo del despliegue técnico de cada restaurante. Sin duda una experiencia memorable. Contras: el tiempo de espera para pasar a mesa, la hora de término del evento (1:30 am), me hizo falta que el chef o los head de servicio nos guiaran y nos llevaran a través de los platillos para entender el concepto y qué se querían transmitir en cada entrada. Pros: el sommelier transmitía con mucha emoción la explicación de cada vino y también algo de información de cada platillo, el ambiente del jardín fue espectacular, piano en vivo y la presencia del chef Thierry, su equipo y el equipo de Pujol.

    We scheduled a reservation at Cafe des Artistes through Open Table. We decided to do the 6 course tasting menu, which had to be prepaid. You could also add a tip at that time too. As it turned out, we had to call the restaurant a couple of hours before our reservation to reschedule. They were very accommodating and fit us in the next night. We arrived and were asked if we wanted the garden or inside. We chose the garden and are very glad we did. The setting is beautiful and magical. Our waiters, Efraim and Allan were very attentive, friendly and explained everything thoroughly. It turned out to be during the restaurant festival, so they had a guest chef. Normally there are a couple of options on the tasting menu, but not the case because of the guest chef. The food was phenomenal! We were afraid we would walk away hungry but not so. My husband also did the wine pairing and he loved that. They made a special dessert for our anniversary too. As a same sex couple, we felt very comfortable and were treated very well. We highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely go back!

    After years of traveling to PV, finally had a chance to eat here. Beautiful location. Definitely eat in the garden if you can. Because of accessibility issues, we had to eat in the regular dining area. The restaurant is not great for accessibility if you have mobility issues. Service was wonderful. Attentive, but not overbearing. They had a special menu for the area's gourmet festival. Good choices, but would have preferred eating from their regular menu... But it just means I'll have to go back (and no problem there)... We were celebrating 3 birthdays. They did a wonderful "mirror tray" presentation of the desserts we ordered... fireworks and all... This is definitely a special place. It's a "must do" in PV.
