So beautiful! Great escape from our Ai resort. The best cocktail I've had in a long time- gin basil gimlet, you will not regret it! The mussels were great and the bread they provided was delicious! read more

Mark's has been permanently closed for over a year. It's now just a huge hole in the ground.............

First time dining here. Spring rolls. Macadamia crusted red snapper will write more later

Adorable place, charming, cozy, extremely kind and attentive staff. Feels like home. Thank you so much for a memorable evening and a bag of limes!!! ;) Looking forward to our next visit. read more

I stayed in an Airbnb in Bucerias and the owner of the house recommended "Marks for a steak". It took reservations to get a table, so make sure you call ahead, maybe a day or 2 before. Come here if you want a good "fancy" dinner. I thought the appetizers were better than the entrees, but the entrees were still very good. I got the lamb, but most people got the filet mignon. I think the thing to get here is the pork chop. The prices were all still very affordable, about $15-25 per entree for something that would easily be $30-60 in an American beach city. If you're in Bucerias for a few days, definitely check this place out. However, I wouldn't drive from Puerto Vallarta to just go here. If I came here again I would get some appetizers, and probably a good wine, good cocktail, and the porkchop or filet mignon. read more

Great food! Also great drinks and awesome dessert. But its closed now...proli needs to be taken off yelp.. just saying

Mark's Bar and Grill was so good. The food was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend going here. The atmosphere is so nice and modern. Their cocktails are so good. read more

Sadly this week was nothing like our experience here 4 years ago,. The food had some problems, like a totally overcooked filet mignon ... and then there was Mark's wife who was SO in you face over the bad cooking ... like it was our fault for not liking well done ... Top all this with higher prices than ALL the other restaurants we visited in Bucerias ... they achieved a rare status of We Won't Be Back.... EVER. read more

Mark's is fabulous in every way!!! The food is delicious, the service is excellent and the ambiance is awesome! We had dinner and lived the food! Norma and the rest of the staff was great! We enjoyed the Red Snapper, Shrimp Flatbread and gluten free pasta! The Lemon drop martini and the sangria was also delicious!!! There are some great places in Bucerías and Mark's is one you don't want to miss!!! read more

Appalling, see my wifes's (SuzanneC) and our friend's (DonS) reviews. We have always loved our visits to Mark's but we will NEVER go back again! read more

Firs time to visit Bucerias to eat out for dinner, we found this restaurant as we walked out disappointed at Karen's for not having a reservation. We were so glad and this restaurant didn't disappoint. I ordered a salmon which was cooked in perfection and hubby had a squid ink risotto, was really good! Ambience was good. They take credit cards which was a plus as we didn't have pesos yet. read more

Mark's is a nice touch being one of the few high end restaurants in Bucerias. It is in a nice neighborhood of Art Galleries. The ambiance is beautiful with great lighting. Half of the building is closed and half is open under the sky. We had delicious food around the table. I had the lobster ravioli and it was incredible with a homemade pasta and creamy red sauce. This place is a must visit when in Bucerias. read more

Mark's Bar and Grill - Lobster Ravioli - Mediterranean Near Me - Bucerías, NAY

We've had many good experiences at Mark's. And I wouldn't be writing this if they'd answered my email, but it will be a very long time until we even consider going back. The waitress and the kitchen screwed up on almost every dish we ordered. I ordered a pork chop that came to me raw and when I asked the waitress to take it back and that I wanted it well done, what I got back 5 minutes later was a raw pork chop smothered in sauce. It's an embarrassment when you take new people to a restaurant that you rave about and then it turns out so badly. read more

Hands down food was really good and prices reasonable. Ravioli, ceviche and chocolate decadence delivered. Only so so item was mark's Caesar salad read more

Absolutely loved this place! My husband and I even came back on our last night to enjoy the best of Bucerías one last time. The food is delicious! I had the Seafood pasta and it was hands down the best seafood pasta I have ever had. It was mildly spicy, (not mentioned in the menu) but it was a great compliment! It made it that much tastier. My husband had the rack of lambs and they were cooked perfectly. We both also had the salmon, which by no surprise, was cooked perfectly as well. It was served with mashed potatoes and caramelized onions. The portions were quite generous, def worth the price. Not to mention the hostess that served us was attentive through out our first meal. There is no children's menu, and there wasn't anything quite child friendly on the menu but the hostess offered to have pasta and butter served just for our children at a reasonable price. I wish I would have gotten her name, she was pleasantly accommodating. Overall, this place is def worth the visit when in Bucerías. Great food quality and ambiance. read more

All around fantastic experience! Definitely a gringo hangout but also a fantastic upscale restaurant. Good food, good drinks, good ambiance. Our group had a couple orders of the filter mignon. I had their miso steak salad which was a great. The marinade was rich and the steak tender. I'd prefer a bit more salad to go with the steak, but I imagine most would be happy with piles of meat. I also had the Sriracha chicken spring rolls - a stellar way to start the meal. The red snapper, shrimp, and lobster eaten by others in the party also received rave reviews. While this isn't an every night affair, Mark's is a treat that I'll definitely be back to enjoy. read more

We came here to celebrate my birthday on a Saturday night. I would never eat here if I were you. First off, this is one of the most expensive restaurants in the area. Be prepared to spend $20-$30 per person without alcohol. There is no AC- be prepared to sweat! You can get the same quality food for much less other places. The place was pretty empty considering it is the off season with only one other couple seated at a table and a couple folks at the bar. The menu and reviews on line looked great, and I was excited for the salmon special on the menu that night. The service leaves much to be desired, and the staff speak limited english at best. Aside from the owners who had English accents, no one seemed to be able to communicate or resolve problems. Upon ordering I noticed that our waiter did not write down the order. Not a big deal, there were only 2 of us. When we asked him to repeat it back we were glad we did, he did not remember what we ordered! No big deal, we just corrected him. Then came the complimentary bread. Nice touch and it looked amazing... except for the rather large ant running along the plate. When we pointed it out to our waiter, he extended his finger and smashed it on the plate. No joke, there were dead ant guts squashed on the side of the bread plate. We really wanted to have a great dining experience and not ruin the celebration, the bread was free so we let this slide. Finally, and I mean within a good 10 minutes (the place is empty) our 2 appetizers arrived. The heirloom tomato salad and tempura rolls looked good from afar. When the waiter set both plates down, we were shocked to see ants again on BOTH plates. We tried at length to explain to the waiter that there were bugs on those plates as well, but he just kind of smiled and nodded. He then walked away... We were stunned. He did not offer to replace the items, we literally had to call him back to tell him to return the plates to the kitchen. We were not about to give these high priced appetizers ($10 each) a free pass like we gave the bread. We tried our best to communicate with the waiter. I speak enough spanish to tell him that we were not going to eat food with bugs crawling on it. He did not seem to care, and just kept smiling and nodding. I finally got up and went to find the manager of the restaurant. When I finally found her, I believe her name is Jan, I told her of our situation. She seemed sort of nonchalant about it. She said it was hot, and the ants are every where. Her solution...? She offered to buy us a drink. I am not kidding... a drink? We do not drink alcohol, though at this point I was wishing I did. We kindly informed her that we were not drinking alcohol and that we would be leaving. She never once said she was sorry, she said the food was prepared fresh. We left and found a place 1 block away that was amazing and without ants and nice and cool with AC! We are not picky people. We are not unreasonable. We really wanted to enjoy this place and have a good meal for my birthday. Given the way they seemed completely unconcerned at the fact that we had bugs on our food, it made me question the rest of the kitchen and food safety here. I would beware of anything coming out of that place. Do yourself a favor, go to Lupita steakhouse a block away for a real fine dining experience with amazing food, service, and no ants crawling on your food. read more

Came here for our Anniversary dinner. There were some great points and some let's say needs some improvement points. Drinks were good, had the sangria it was ok, my husband had the Smokey margarita again ok, my friend had the cosmo mojoito again ok. Once we ordered simple drinks like a vodka soda those were strong and perfect. We started with oysters, ceviche, and the calamari. The ceviche and the calamari were amazing! The oysters were slightly warm and that freaked me out so I did not eat them but another person in our party did and she was fine afterwards. We then ordered two salads which were great! For entrees we had the tuna steak with pasta, the lobster risotto, lobster soup, and the special which was red snapper with lobster ravioli. I had the tuna steak and pasta it was delicious. The special my husband had was ok and our friends that had the risotto were slightly disappointed as they did not know it was going to be black risotto which was a tad dry. At the end they brought us key lime pie which was oh so good. The service at the end was almost nonexistent. I had to wave down our waiters to get the bill. They seemed under staffed and busy. This is Bucerías fine dining and to be honest there are so many amazing restaurants but the choice is yours. read more

I avoided this place like the plague last year. Its very touristy and high priced. My family wanted to go here this year so i went. The first thing i ordered oysters they were out of. So ordered the tuna tartar which was really good. I heard the seafood pasta was amazing. I gave it a try and it was blah. The sauce had minimal flavor. I also tried my parents dishes the red snapper which was really good but a very small portion and the ahi tuna which was a good portion and great flavor but when asked to box it up we lost a third of what we gave them. Not cool. Not cool at all. There service was extremely slow. Slow to get the food. Slow to get the check. Slow. I would bot recommend Mark s to anyone. Around the corner is El Brujo, go there it local and great. read more

Great food, good pricing and nice location. I would prefer an ocean view but the food was well prepared and well presented. We ate here with 2 families and 3 had steak and 2 had seafood and all were wonderful. I suggest the steak but also the gnocci and the wine list is very good as well. Medium priced for the town but still not bad. I would definitely go back. read more

We got into Bucerias late, and with no reservations things weren't looking good. But Mark's was accommodating and we were quickly seated. Great ambiance, decorated very nicely, and good, yet restrained service Food came in a timely manner and presentation was excellent. And quite tasty too! Prices ended up being about what I would have expected at home in California, so I suppose they might have been a bit high for here. Not a fan of their margaritas though. In fact, I've yet to find a good one in Bucerias. All in all though, an enjoyable meal at an enjoyable location. read more

Such wonderful flavours to the food! So good that we booked a 2nd visit one week later; can't wait for another gastronomical experience!

Very comfortable Bucerias hangout. Had the pan fried tuna. If I've had better, I don't remember it. When your down this way, it's worth the stop. read more

One of the nicer spots in Bucerias for a more upscale environment and dinner. Mark and his staff are great, and very accommodating. The food is great! read more

Took friends there and splurged with wine, appetizers, salads, lamb, lamb and more lamb, desserts coffees! Mark's is our go to restaurant for fine dining and wonderful food. In particular, the lamb because it is a rare treat in Mexico. read more

The food and drinks were amazing! They always let you know before hand what they have a limited amount of and they are so nice. We got to meet and talk to the owner as well and learn about the back the story of the restaurant. read more

Oh dear oh dear. We returned to this restaurant anticipating a good time. Not so. Two things we ordered were not available and then....The owners wife treated us like idiots. When a steak was returned firstly for being cold and then over cooked she told me I didn't know what I was talking about! She then proceeded to insult me over and over. Finally when I was ready to throw the food at her, she relented and asked what I would like instead and then tried to embarrass me by telling me, a) the rest of the table would have to wait a long time for it to be cooked and b) I might not approve again! WE WILL NEVER BE BACK. read more

After being sat at the bar by the host, the bartender asked us to move to a table because he had regulars coming to sit in our seats. He must have moved us to the naughty table, because the service terrible. Our bad, Mark. Sorry we came. read more

Excellent food and service!!! Try anything and you will love it. Had a great flounder prepared with pineapple, etc and excellent wine. The bread is prepare in house in a wood oven. Thanks to Mark and his wife, excellent chef! Great time! read more

Mark and Jen do a great job. The food is flavorful and exotic. The staff is attentive. The restaurant is very romantic. While we were there a couple got engaged. Our friend Victoria hosted us to dinner and so I cannot speak to the prices but I can speak to the quality. It was sublime. We cannot wait to come back again. read more

Went here with a big group there was 11 of us. It was no problem for Mark's! The service was great and the food was even better. Would highly recommend great food and service! read more

It's rare to have an absolutely perfect dining experience but we had one here. From the decor to the service to the food, this restaurant does things right. Yes, it's on the expensive side but it's still much less than we are used to paying for high quality food in San Francisco! This meal would easily have cost $160 in SF, whereas it was only $85 at Mark's. The food was delicious -- macadamia encrusted fish in an amazing sauce of turmeric and tamarind, unforgettable key lime pie, perfect chocolate cake, and well, just everything was beautiful. Highly recommended! read more

Mark's has an elegant but yet very upbeat and modern setting. Great service, food is delicious and drinks were well made. The portions of the plates is a bit small. If you have a big appetite like mine, you do need appetizer, dinner and dessert. That would be my only complaint, it is also not ultra expensive but its priced higher than a regular restaurant and the competition around it. read more

We had the most amazing meal! Great wine list and amazingly fresh seafood! This was the 2nd time we have eaten here and weren't disappointed one bit! read more

A highly overrated, ridiculously overpriced and popular place in the Dorado area that appeals mostly to people who like to spend money. Its reputation is based on its elegant dining area and its attempts, and occasional success, at preparing good food of the "international" variety. The gazpacho is excellent, the service decent, but portions are tiny and stingy, and sides even smaller. There are no extras, no indulgence of the diner. Some of the food we had was inedibly salty. One meal we had there was basically ruined by the loud music of an awful small one-note band, singing and playing American oldies from the 60s and 70s, a distraction from conversation, an embarrassment and totally inappropriate to the intended ambience. Unfortunately this happens at other Bucerias restaurants and may be attributed to an abundance of tone-deaf (or actually deaf) elder retirees who are happy to hear something resembling music that's as reassuring as fading memories. There are far better places to eat if you're serious about food and prefer respect and generosity to pretense and pandering. Not a bad place for people who don't especially like good Mexican food, which can be found on most of the side streets nearby. read more

What an experience! The food was fabulous and the service was perfect. It was an experience that will not be forgotten, it will be repeated.

Wonderful spot for food,service and ambiance.Entertainment is nice,too.A don't miss spot!

Thank you Yelp for steering us to a sleepy and cute town call Bucerias. Marks hit the Mark! Great Ambience and service. The food is outstanding highly recommend this place. read more

The food is creative, delicious, and filling. Great ambiance and service. Priced very reasonable for what is offered.

Great food and good people. I sat at the bar and had a great time chatting with dinner and desert. The calamari was very good, just a bit greasy for me. The sushi was decent, just small and the cheesecake was fantastic. read more
