• Nice view.
• Timeshare sales people pretend they are hostesses stay away!

“Timeshare people prey on unsuspecting paying customers without warning! We were enjoying a nice afternoon with another couple and we decided to take a break at Oscars. It looked like a nice place on the river. We were greeted by a nice lady, and the two for one margaritas sounded great. We ordered an appetizer which we found was rather skimpy. We were having a wonderful conversation, when this lady who gave the impression she was a hostess interrupted us and asked us how our lunch was. She was extremely friendly, asking about where we lived, our families and shared information about her own children, etc. To make a long story short, after almost a half hour of her non-stop talking, it became apparent (it took this long and we are experienced at spotting timeshare salespeople) that she was trying to sell timeshare. When you visit Puerto Vallarta, you have to expect to ward off a lot of timeshare salespeople-we found out just about everyone in town does sales on the side-we were told this by the girl working in the tequila store just down from Oscars (she was also one of them). But I absolutely draw the line about timeshare salespeople who approach customers in a restaurant who are paying for their own meal! This is outrageous! When I approached the lady who initially greeted us, who apparently was the manager, she sympathized and stated that unfortunately the restaurant had ties with a timeshare condo and it was like she had no choice but to allow it to happen. When I gave the "friendly" timeshare sales lady a piece of my mind about how she ruined our afternoon, I was only offered a non-stop smirk. This was really annoying since she could talk so much before. Stay away from this restaurant! Teach them a good lesson. When we passed by this place at night, it was virtually empty-no wonder! We deeply regret actually paying the bill including the tip. Want a fantastic restaurant-we highly recommend cueto's. Great seafood and they also offer a great menu fun-fun-fun and very down to earth Mexican restaurant. We were there 18 years ago and it's still fantastic.”

• Everything location, food preparation/presentation, Mango Margaritas and Oscars own Tequila house label.
• Absolutely nothing!

“Your hosts have the best place in PV. Dont miss this gem. Executive Chef is masterful with sea food from presentation to variety and the service and ambience is the best. Coming from "sea food nation (Cape Cod, MA) this was above the tide of usual sea food/dining experience.”

• Nice atmosphere.
• Terrible service!

“This restaurant had horrible service! The atmosphere was very pleasant; we were seated right beside the river. Nice table settings and even music. Unfortunately, my good comments stop there. The waiter was hesitant to answer any questions about drink prices. We wound up with undisclosed high price tequila. A group showed up at the next table, our food arrived, and that was the last we saw of the waiter. We waited for 30 minutes until I flagged down another waiter to complain. Our drinks had been gone for some time and we weren't served water, so we were parched and angry amid a lot of dirty dishes. So much for the second free drink and how convenient, too. The original waiter expressed little concern. Poor service. And we won't go back!”

• Good food and great drinks!
• Can't think of anything.

“Oscar's is the best place to eat and drink while shopping in pave. They are friendly and most pleasing; the experience is so not use, what a pleasure to have had the experience! ”

• Food and service.
• No negatives.

“3 of us had dinner at Oscar's and we were all happy with our meal and with the service. We had stopped in the afternoon of that day and were given a chit for a free drink if we ate dinner there that night of course, we did. Wait staff was very pleasant and we were given good service. Would recommend it to anyone. Please we were even offered a shawl if we felt a little chilly.”

• The food was good, Good price and atmosphere.
• Bad service. Small amounts of food.

“This restaurant was one of the worst I have been to. It wasn't the food or atmosphere that made Christmas dinner a living hell, but the fact that they only had one person waiting tables. We sat down to eat at 7:00 PM, the waiter got us drinks and then wasn't seen again for re-fills or anything. Around 8 he came back to take our orders, and to give us 2 bread baskets for the entire table of 11. Around 8:30 we got our salads, a round of drinks, and some more bread, and once again the waiter vanished to the other tables. 9:00 came and went, still no food, no bread, no drinks, and dirty dishes on the table. At about 10:00 we got our food! It was brought out one order at a time, and because the plates are so small people were done eating before some even got their food. Oh and some of the food was cold, like it had been sitting for a few minutes. 10:30 came and we got the bill, the waiter said sorry it took so long and bought us a round of drinks, then he told us that he was the only one working on the floor and that there was only one cook. About 5 other parties had been seated in the 3.5 hours we were there, and all of them had gotten up and left for lack of service! The entire night was a disaster, it was . As we left we noticed the owner just standing around looking over the tables instead of helping out the cook or the waiter.”
