    One of the best places in PV. I went with a group of six and all of our dishes were excellent. The service was impeccable. The owner is very gracious. She really makes you feel welcomed and not rushed.

    Very good service. The servers were very attentive and courteous. We tasted the special menu and was a very satisfying 3-course meal. Grrek salad and the fried cheese were really good. Greek chicken stuffed with feta and spinach, and tenderloin medallion with lemon and caper sauce. Dessert was guava and cheese tart, and white chocolate mouse. The tart was delicious, but the mouse was just okay. Still want to return to try the regular menu. I recommend this restaurant.

    If you haven’t tried this place, you are missing our. Ricardo and Jorge are very good servers with great attitudes. I didn’t realize this upscale restaurant is Mexican Greek fusion. The Cosmo was excellent. Vodka was just the right pour. I had the Salmon dish and I cant explain enough how tasty this dish was to eat. It can with arugula, seasoned potatoes and glazed carrots. I will definitely be back to this restaurant to try the Greek lasagna.

    Great service at the bar. Younger caballero served us, cinco Estrella for service. Saganaki served flaming at the table, delicious. Pulpo could have been more tender. Battered pescado was delish, tsatziki on point. Turkish coffee was THICC (yes I know what Turkish cofeee is, like even by Turkish coffee standards it was chewy.)

    Absolutely stunning presentation along with friendly staff that speak english. The price is also great and the food is delicious. The pork that we tried was super good, super clean and cozy atmosphere too.

    10/10 recommend! Dine at eclecticos for an upscale experience with delicious food and a romantic atmosphere. We ate at the tables outside, looking out on the street. It was peaceful and perfect temps in the evening. We had the Greek salad and mixed salad to start, both delicious. Then the chicken pasta with capers and lemon sauce (can’t remember the exact name). The sauce was citrus forward and had a deep Smokey background taste. It was something I’ve never tasted before. Soo good!

    I recently dined at this restaurant and I must say, the food was absolutely amazing. The flavors were rich, the ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was fantastic. The restaurant's design was also noteworthy, with a charming and inviting ambiance that transported me to Greece. However, despite the delectable food and beautiful ambiance, I have one significant concern that I would like to address: the quality of service. Unfortunately, the staff's attentiveness to guests was lacking, which took away from the overall experience. One of the main issues I encountered was that the staff did not pay adequate attention to guests. This was evident in their failure to refill drinks, including water, during the meal. It can be frustrating to constantly have to request refills or wait for a staff member to notice an empty glass, especially when enjoying a meal. Furthermore, the staff did not make me feel particularly welcomed or valued as a guest. Their lack of warmth and engagement made me feel less desirable in the restaurant. As a diner, I believe that feeling welcomed and appreciated is an essential aspect of the dining experience. This lack of quality service ultimately prevented the restaurant from achieving its full potential as a top-notch establishment in the neighborhood. Despite the amazing food and beautiful design, the subpar service left a notable impact on my overall impression of the restaurant. In conclusion, while this Greek restaurant offers exceptional food and a beautiful ambiance, there is room for improvement in the quality of service. By addressing the issues of inattentiveness and lack of warmth from the staff, this restaurant has the potential to become a truly desirable and top-notch dining destination in the neighborhood.

    Excellent. Been travelling for over a month now and this was one of the top meals. Mousakka was one of the best I've had. Greek salad truly authentic using only the freshest ingredients, feta, oil and balsamic. Souvlaki was well seasoned. Service was excellent and attentive. I will definately go back to try some of the other dishes on my next visit. You won't be disappointed

    We were hopeful as the reviews and menu look so good. We had reservations and arrived on time. They waved us to a table and then gave us a beverage menu (only), we asked for water and was given a bottle. But then ignored us.. we waited for a while. Still nobody to take a order for wine nor to provide the food menu. We finally stood up to leave… then a waist came over. Paid for the water and left. Maybe short staffed, but then don’t seat people if you can’t serve. Disappointed.

    If you are looking for some old world 5 star food, this is the place. Our group had Greek style sauteed shrimp, leg of lamb, pork shank, and duck. All perfectly prepared. The drinks only deserved one star. We had the special, Mai Tai's were 2 for 1 and also a Los Muertos Sunset. Maybe the bartender was having a bad night. Best to have a reservation.

    I had this restaurant on my list and what a surprise, the food was spectacular. I've been to all the Greek restaurants in PV and this one was the best in terms of food. As a recommendation to the restaurant manager, they need to do something with their staff. We arrived and were never assigned a table, so we took one of the ones that said reserved. It took them 20 minutes to take our order because the waiter was chatting with another table. Finally, they took our order and the food was great, although the waiter didn't write down all the dishes. Another table of locals arrived, but they were never attended to, so they left. It's important that the manager do something about their staff because it's affecting their restaurant a lot.

    Tasty food, good service, and artful interior. Four of us went for Restaurant Week 2023 and everyone enjoyed it. Carlos was a wonderful waiter especially considering the waitstaff was short handed last night. The lamb shank was rich and delicious. We will definitely return.

    Excellent dine-in place for Greek food. Best saganaki in town. Vegetarian, seafood, and meat dishes to choose from. Good wine selection and the only place I've found so far that has ouzo. Try the appetizer platters to start.

  • 5/5 Chris O. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything we ate was fantastic and delicious. The pork shank bones barely needed coaxing and the pulled out clean as a whistle. And the complexity of the flavor in the sauce is heavenly. You simply can't go wrong eating here.

    The food is *AWESOME*!!!!! Guys, I ordered 3 different items on the menu and they were *AMAZING*. My taste buds didn't skip one beat! I was so impressed because normally I try various dishes in different types of cuisine when I travel but this experience was one for the books. I has such a great time. Good customer service and the waiters were knowledgeable and ready to help and answer questions. Check them out when you get to Puerto Vallarta!

    First off, I want to say that the service we received was great. Our server was very pleasant, friendly and attentive and our food arrived in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, my partner and I were both quite disappointed with the quality of the food. The portions were small, certain items were dry and flavourless and even the Greek salad was boring and uninspired. We’re both huge fans of Greek cuisine and I don’t imagine we’ll be back anytime soon. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback constructively as like I said, they seem like good people running an honest business.

    I much rather leave positive reviews but my meal was simply "awful". I ordered Greek meatballs as appetizer and they were extremely dense and tough...main course I was so looking forward to was Mousakka and again disappointed...it was mush...the crust was anything but flakey...simply mush:( I won't return

    This place deserves much more online recognition. First off the service is incredible. I wish I remembered the gentleman’s name that waited us but he was so sweet and attentive. Secondly, the food was amazing. The octopus appetizer was so tender and the pita was toasted perfectly. And the freaking sauce was so flavorful. The chicken tzatziki was cooked so juicy and seasoned perfectly. My friend had the rack of lamb and was literally sucking the meat off the bone. Hands down a hidden jewel and best meal I’ve had during this trip

  • 5/5 Roger L. 2 years ago on Google
    I was completely blow away by the quality of the food. The best rack of lamb I have ever been served. Tender, perfectly seasoned and plump as can be. The humus was also the best I have ever had. Just superb. The service, atmosphere, all that stuff was good. The food is truly exceptional. In New York or San Francisco, it would be right up there with the best.

    Food was awesome from a very young chef! Sorry no pics of food as we were hungry and ate every last bite.

  • 5/5 Shujie Jason C. 2 years ago on Google
    OMG what a fantastic and accommodating place. The food was fabulous, service excellent. We were a group of 10 and could not have asked for better. It is rare when every single one of us loved the food. Cocktails and wine were fantastic too.

  • 5/5 John P. 2 years ago on Google
    Table had Greek lemon soup, carrot ginger soup and tom Ka soup all delicious. Seafood was spot on. Short handed when we were there but owner made sure we were attended.

    By far, one of the most unpleasant eating experiences in my life. Hungry from long travels, we wanted something fulfilling and homey. After walking around for a bit, we stumbled on what seemed to be a popping restaurant with happy couples and friends drinking wine and eating flaming cheese with pita. Just reading their menu and seeing the plates coming out, made our mouths water. An older couple ahead of us told us that this was their favorite restaurant after eating here a few times during previous trips. We were so excited to dine here tonight after a day full of unmet expectations. After standing in the reception area for 15 minutes trying to get the waitress' attention to find out the wait and get a table, we were greeted by a woman with her dog. We felt lucky that they sat us at the biggest table in the back relatively soon after. We picked out what we wanted pretty quickly and tried to flag down a waiter for the next 15 minutes. We were excited for some juicy lamb chops and grilled octopus, but opted for medium-rare lamb chops and mousakka which was recommended highly by the host. Our drinks came out and were refreshing, but it took our meals another 45 minutes to come out. When they arrived, were a bit shocked by the appearance. There was a green gelatinous clump of sauce on the side of the lamb plate and the chops were well done on the back side and raw on the side facing up. The meat was very raw inside and tough to chew externally with stringy bits which was disappointing for us. Upon waving down a waiter, we were told it was a mint sauce-the flavor was decent but the texture and taste left much to be desired.There was minimal seasoning on the accompanying vegetables and the arugula salad had no dressing. One plate came with a side of green beans which were a bit stringy and tough to chew. Within minutes of eating, we both had stomach aches. Needless to say, I went to the restroom and passed by the kitchen on the way. I was a bit surprised to see dirty pots and pans stacked up on counters and plates coming in and out of the microwave. Prior to our food coming out, we heard lots of microwaving sounds since we were sat across from the kitchen and before being seated, we saw several guests sending back their plates which looked barely touched-2 red flags. We were really hoping for some delicious greek food tonight and were disappointed with our meal to say the least.
