    Delicious food. As others have said, it was really nice to have some different flavors besides seafood or tortillas. The tropical salad was delightful, and the chicken with mushroom risotto just scrumptious. My husband had the burger and fries and both were cooked to perfection and tasted great (I stole most of his fries - ha, ha!). Indoors has AC, which also was a nice escape from the heat and bugs. Would definitely go back!

    We had a great dinner here. The mushroom risotto was absolutely fantastic with perfectly roasted veggies. The beef filet pasta was the star of the night. It had a delicious cream sauce with a healthy amount of tender steak cubes. Tasty cucumber martini and lemon drop. We would definitely return. The ONLY negative thing was that they only make meatballs as a special on Mondays and they were sold out by 7:30 when we arrived.

    Nice little place. A/C on the second floor. Great presentation. On the more pricey side, but the food is very good and the presentation is awesome. We enjoyed all the food. Highly recommend. Total bill was about $25 a person. We got lemonade, pineapple juice, a spring roll appetizer, mahi mahi, steak Gorgonzola pasta, and a passion fruit pie. All tasty!

    My partner and I enjoyed our first dinner here so much that we went back again our last night in Puerto Vallarta. And it was even better. Both floors are airy and open but preferred the top floor. Go on Wednesday for 40 peso Cosmos, about $2. Very LGBTQ friendly. Friendly staff. And the food was delicious.

    Absolutely amazing. The service was spectacular and the food was equally delicious. Our server was attentive, friendly, and all around top notch. We had the gravlax (first time ever trying it and it was so good!) and both ordered the gorgonzola beef pasta for the main entree. Freaking amazing. Definitely give this a try while you're here.

    At first, I thought: Swedish food in PV? 🤔 But we popped in and were pleasantly surprised. While it is on the pricier side, the food is good. Cosmos are only 40 pesos on Wed. Alex was super friendly and engaging. I particularly enjoyed the bisque and spring rolls (it tasted very fresh). The pasta dish was filling. Definitely worth checking out.

    We arrived at this restaurant without a reservation, and were kindly seated at the bar. The view is great from the upper level and the Bartender is super friendly. Our server shortly moved us to a table as it became available, despite how busy it was that evening. Our first visit was years ago and during the day. This evening was a treat, the view and the ambiance was spectacular. We ordered the Filet Mignon, and the Chicken Pesto Pasta. The presentation was on point, and I can't thank them enough for accomading us. The food was great, and we will be returning to try more things in on the menu! Thank you for a very memorable Dinner! We loved every bite!

    I have passed this place on multiple visits to Vallarta and finally went for dinner during restaurant week. The vibe is casual and friendly. On Wednesday they serve cosmos for 40 pesos, and they're strong. The food is well presented but just okay. I wish I could be more positive about this place. A lot of the reviews just don't describe my experience.

    Amazing dinner and drinks. Great service. Highly recommend!

    Daniel from Pinnacle 220 highly recommended this restaurant to me and he couldn't have been more fantastic for doing so. Uli at the door was so shy and sweet. He brought me to my upstairs table where it was beautifully breezy and had a view over PV and its people. Alex was my server and he was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I was sure I knew what I wanted from the INCREDIBLE menu until he told me about the special...and I was hooked. Fresh watermelon salad and Nordic salmon over risotto ($21US for both!). See the pics...which don't do it justice. This was as good as any fresh salmon I ever had while in Sweden and Norway. Louis was also a great server and took great care of me as well! I have travelled to dozens of countries, many of which are well known for their culinary expertise. And this restaurant easily lands in my top 5 of all time. Fortunately I live right next door and will be back every chance I get. The entire meal, including freshly made warm olive and rosemary bread with dipping oil (OMG), a generous fresh watermelon salad, my gorgeous salmon entree and 2 glasses of wine was ~$40/US including tip. Please don't miss out on this gem. They truly deserve your business.

    A wonderful time was had, the food is excellent and the staff great and entertaining, a must stop in Puerto Vallarta!

  • 4/5 Angel G. 7 months ago on Google
    I found this great spot on my way downstairs from my hotel in my first night in Puerto Vallarta and I went for the risotto... I wanted to add Shrimp. No problem. I loved the focaccia. I had one drink. I loved the decor and the company of the bartender I was the only one at the terrace. Anyway bill comes my shrimp was as expensive as the meal. I didn't appreciate that at all. It is not a 5 star amazing restaurant.

    We went for dinner on Xmas eve ! Fixed menu ! Have been there many times always enjoy the food and service. Tonight the dropped the ball . The table next to use came in 30 min after us and got the mail before us. When u drew this to their attention . They were so apologetic!! And wanted to know what they could do to accommodate us. I asked the to wrap up the overs and desert and told them to decide ! They made us pay full Price for a fully ruined evening. Disappointing

    I've had the privilege of traveling the globe, seeking out the finest burger joints in every corner of the world. However, when I took my first bite at this gem in Puerto Vallarta, I was left utterly speechless. This isn't just good; it's transcendent. In fact, I found myself comparing it to a legendary Texas BBQ burger I devoured in Austin this summer, and dare I say, it might just be on another level of taste entirely. Nestled conveniently next to the only trolly car to whisk you up the steep hill (which you'll definitely need after this feast), this place is a culinary haven. And let's not forget the excellent service provided by our server, Angel, who felt more like a friend by the end of the meal. He even suggested another burger joint, not realizing I'd already been there, a testament to his genuine desire to make sure we had the best experience. But the food itself, oh my! It's a symphony of flavors, perfectly balanced, and every bite left me falling deeper in love with Swedes cuisine. The homemade ice cream for dessert was the perfect encore to this culinary masterpiece. I'm not one to write reviews often, but this place deserves all the praise. It's not just about the food; it's the friendly ambiance, the captivating decor that transports you through time, and the music that evokes the best memories of your life. If you're in search of a unique off-the-strip dining experience, look no further; you've found your home away from home. This is where I'll be taking all my friends when they visit, and I'll definitely be returning myself – a testament to how exceptional this place truly is. It's a solid 10 out of 10.
