The food was really tasty and the service was pretty great. They welcomed us by asking for everyone's allergies. My girlfriend's daughter mentioned a shrimp allergy so they made sure to cook her French fries in fresh oil. The only downside was that splitting the bill took a while and we thought ordered a full bottle of wine but were just served a couple glasses (forgot to check to see which they charged us for). All that said, the staff were all so super friendly and the food was incredible. read more

I was seeking a nice restaurant to eat at for my stay in Punta Mita. Spice Market came highly rated (even on Trip Advisor) so i made my reservation. I arrived promptly at 6pm when they opened and was told by Suzy (the hostess), they were waiting for me! She offered many seating options (in/outside, table, or booth) which I appreciated. I settled on a small table outside with a pool and ocean view. She asked if I had food allergies and let me know my server Ricardo was OTW. I had looked over the menu already so I knew I wanted the Miso glazed Seabass, fried rice, and spring rolls. All was great however I thought the sea bass would really have a GLAZE (like at Truluck's), but it didn't an had a kick to it. I still enjoyed it and left full. I wouldn't mind returning but I'd sit inside and it would be nice to have not so many people greet my table. Ricardo was there each and ever time a coarse or drink came to the table. Then I had a "presenter" Victor, who placed and described each coarse as well as Veronica who assisted Ricardo and bagged my meal. Plus another gentleman who refilled my water. Geez!I guess being overly taken care of is better than no one at all! Word to the wise, don't consider the prices of each item when budgeting for your meal if looking on Open Table. I did that and was taken back when I got my bill. The NEW prices, are not updated on OT. Also, there is a 10% service charge ALREADY added to your bill so no need to tip if you don't want. read more

This was recommended by several people to us. But our party of 6 were not impressed. Small portions and over priced. $6k pesos for 6 people. Fried rice, lo mein and Korean chicken all very boring dishes. The fried sushi had only two tiny pieces of fish. I not go back read more

Gorgeous setting, impeccable service , went in on a Monday and they were offering sushi rolls and they were epic, also tried the Korean style fried chicken, recommended read more

Diego greeted us as soon as we arrived for our special dinner at the Spice Market. He had us at hello! We loved every minute of your visit here. The food was delicious, the margaritas were awesome... I had the spicy margarita and my brother had the ginger margarita and both were tasty. The sushi was incredibly fresh and we loved every bite. Because the dumplings and other dishes that also were spicy and I would order again. I posted some pictures for you to see... Hope you enjoy it, and if you go, let me know how you like it too No matter where you're staying, it's worth a shot! And if you come, I recommend asking for Diego, because he knows how to make it really special. I think the chef must like him too because he sent things out to us with extra love. read more

First off, it's indoor/outdoor so bring some bug repellent! Menu is limited right now because of COVID and also accessible via QR code, not a paper menu. They recommend eating "family style" so we all ordered what we wanted and then shared once it arrived. They tell you up front that the food comes out as it's ready. It's a nice concept in theory but some of our party was left with no food (of their own) for 30-45 minutes. Let's start with the good - Phenomenal spring rolls, SPICY black pepper shrimp, perfectly crispy fried calamari, delicious New York strip, and also perfectly cooked baby corn and broccoli. The rest, just okay - chargrilled chicken (basically burnt, covered in citrus), fried rice (hardly any flavor, only vegetable included was onion), chicken satay (also hardly any flavor), pork belly and chicken buns (way too much bread, hardly any meat inside). As much as it pains me to say it, their "famous" coconut cake was not great. There's some sort of herby flavor baked in the green cake, but the green ice cream was good. It didn't seem at all like a coconut cake. Lastly, the drinks are expensive and are 90% ice, served in a cute tiki cup. Skip them! The view though, FABULOUS. This place is especially nice after a week of eating Mexican food when you're wanting something different. read more

This place is SO good! 1. The atmosphere is everything. You get a nightclub vibe with awesome decor. 2. The food is amazing. We got: pepper shrimp, edamame, chicken samosas, lemon chicken, fried rice and the coconut cake. Seems like a lot of food but it's all shareable plates! 3. Impressed by the service! Ricardo gave us all the recommendations made sure his team walked us through everything we ordered when it got to our table! read more

Flavorless and caters to midwestern American bland palate. Spice Market did not even properly salt the food! Very disappointing. Service and atmosphere were excellent but would not eat there again. read more

Very good! Ricardo our server was awesome. The ambiance and food were great. Our faves were the pork dumplings and grilled chicken. Fun restaurant! read more

No one at security in the front entrance spoke ANY English. Apparently because i had no reservation, i wasn't able to enter the hotel, let alone restaurant. It's really too bad i never got to try this place. I've stayed at the W hotel in Puerto Rico, Boston and Mexico City. However, i cannot recommend this one because of the avoidable situation. Please please teach your employees English at an international hotel- who knows how many other people they turned away because they were confused. read more

My boyfriend and I ate here our first night of our vacation staying at the W. Our servers, Veronica and Allen, were very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The bar didn't have tamarind so she went to another bar in the hotel to get us tamarind margaritas. All the food had excellent flavor. Most notable for us were the shrimp dumplings with lobster sauce and mushrooms and the drunken noodles (I didn't get a picture). Ambiance was nice and relaxing. read more

Spice Market is beautiful! The W hotel in Punta Mita is very smooth and on trend like W's are. This place is an excellent spot for a drink but the food not so much. I was just totally underwhelmed with almost everything and we ordered almost everything. Things weren't well prepared nor were they flavorful. All I can say is meh! On a positive note the bathroom lighting is excellent for selfies:) read more

Our family had a fantastic dinner experience here. Diego, our waitperson and guide, was awesome. When he learned we spoke "un poquito español," he spoke primarily Spanish, so we could practice. His suggestions on everything were spot on: jengibre margaritas were amazing, the sashimi & tuna tostada starters also incredible. Even the "mundane" items like edamame had a unique flair & were delicious. I recommend the fideos borrachos, but we ordered several entrees and all were delicious. On top of all of that, the decor & vibe were gorgeous & fun. Next time that I find myself in Punta de Mita, I will definitely return to this place. read more

10/10 The food was incredible. Our server Diego and his team were outstanding service. And the ambiance was really cool also! Definitely worth a visit if you are at The W Punta De Mita! read more

Service attentive and friendly. Skimpy drink. Pad Thai unlike any you've ever had. This is not a good thing. You would not guess this to be pad Thai. Kind of a cream sauce Red Curry Duck hard to believe. There is no sense of any taste or smell even resembling curry. None. You would never think of this as a curry dish. What's so hard About making a curry sauce ? Shrimp wonton with shiitake was good through. read more

This place is my favorite restaurant in Punta Mita (well this and Sufi) ...it's amazing. The food is to die for and the music is great. If you want a fun vibe and are looking for a a different flavor than Mexican food definitely come here for delicious Asian fusion food. Love love love!!! I'm a seasoned traveler and this restaurant stands out. 5 stars for sure! YUM!! read more

If you're stuck in the W and need a solid dinner option that isn't Mexican, Spice Market fits the bill. The fish of the day was fantastically cooked. The downside is that it's pricey. read more

Service is sooooo bad. Some dishes are delicious but don't fall in love. They change the menu for the sake of "art" lol. It is so pretentious. Drinks are all ice and pricey. It could be a place you go over and over to for fun and good food but it is not consistent nor is it friendly or fun. It's the beach for goodness sake. You can have elegant and warmth. We were rushed the entire dinner- the kitchen closes at 10:30!!! What!??? I need to think about dessert while I am eating dinner?? That was the final straw. Avoid!!! read more

We really enjoyed dinner here! Dining here you forget that you are in a secluded resort but instead feel like you're in the middle of a bustling metropolis at a high end restaurant. Everything was top notch. The decor is very sophisticated modern with some glitz and glamour. The service was perfect, not too overbearing but being there right before you need them. The view is the absolute cherry on top The food was excellent. Everything from the tuna tar tar, to the samosas, to the pad Thai, to the drinks was outstanding. We really enjoyed it and highly recommend it (especially if you are staying at the resort.) read more

Diego was the absolute best! Made our best friend's bachelorette party amazing. We had the best time and the best service!

In brief, we came here expecting the same phenomenal NYC experience and it could not have been worse. We actually thought maybe this wasn't connected to the other and they had hawked their name, but not the case. Place was empty on a Sunday night in October, meanwhile where we stayed (four seasons) the restaurants were packed... should have been a sign. Toss up if food or service was worse. Great ambience could make up for neither. Restaurant is indoors/outdoors chalk full of mosquitos and they offered us repellent but both containers were empty so we waited 15 min for more as we were eaten alive. After 20 min asked for waters. Then had to remind them we already ordered "house" water once they brought designer water. Waiter took order but kept asking "what did you order before ________" or "what did your order, I missed something ." Food was marginal, at best. See pics of "charred chicken." Charred indeed - beyond recognition. The main flavor was salt. Charred chicken and coconut sticky rice were sent back both were so bad. Fish and chips was dry as the Sahara. Calamari salad was disgusting. Everything highly salted. Watered down drinks. Had no Tito's even though it was listed on drink menu. Service was never around. Never cleared dirty plates or empty water bottles and cocktails - they left for us to refill our own glasses. Brought wrong check. Incorrect items. Swiped credit card for wrong bill. Won't need to worry about ever coming back - they won't last long enough anyway. read more

We ate here a couple times on our trip to punta de mita...Both times we found the food so over spiced that some dishes we uneatable...The assorted sashimi was in fact two pieces of tuna with mayonnaise on a piece of deep fried rice...Neither assorted or sashimi....We were not alone as we witnessed the surrounding tables were also returning dishes...We actually like spicy food, but when the main ingredients are undistinguishable it is simply too much spice...The staff just cleared our uneaten dishes and have a check for without any apologies for the bad/uneaten food...Sorry to say do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else read more

The people that staff this restaurant are real delight and this review would be one star without their gracious service and charming demeanor....let's talk food and value. The food was poorly executed and is a sad replica of the food that I'm sure the original team cooked here, but this is the problem with food concepts from celebrity chefs being sold to other operators. High expectations that can't be met and disappointed guests left feeling ripped off. The bill here was outrageous for what it was and would have been outrageous if executed well. Save your money and go out or even across the lobby. Spice Market is a rip off of a concept designed to rip you off. read more

Great service! The food is delicious. Because I ate so much, I had no room for dessert. Which is pretty sad for this dessert lover. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Really good service and yummy food! A bit pricey, but the pampering is totally worth it! The pad Thai hits the spot after a long, hot day. The lychee raspberry martini was delicious. The entire staff was helpful and courteous. My husband has been to the location in NYC and this place lives up to his expectations! Would definitely go again. read more

I'm not one to review, although I read reviews all the time! We have enjoyed our stay at the W and loved our dinner at Spice Market we had the chicken wings, shrimp pad Thai, beef stir fry and a couple amazing drinks! The staff was attentive, but not in our face and we loved the atmosphere- it was a wonderful dinner! Definitely recommend read more

Excellent food and great service. One of the best pad thai with shrimp I've ever tasted and the local oysters were to die for.

The service was friendly but extremely inefficient. Our kids were served way after the parents were done on top of that they messed up my daughter's order of butter pasta and brought our tomato sauce pasta. They took another 30 mins to bring out the correct order - my 4 year old is luckily pretty mellow but she looked like she was ready to cry as everyone else got their dishes while she patiently and hungrily waited. How long does it take to cook pasta?! Our shared beef stir fry was yummy but nothing to shout about and the rice served was in such small portions we had to order extras. I would say the only person was highly pleased was the teenager. He ordered the all-you-can-eat dim sum menu and said everything was excellent. It cost an arm and a leg but since he ate it all it was well worth it for him. Other comments are that service was slow in general for all the food and we had to ask to have our water filled. I would expect a lot more from an expensive restaurant in the W Hotel! read more

Not sure why this place has negative reviews. We had the most delicious dinner tonight and service was excellent too. Highlights were the black peppered shrimp, the curry noodles and the green beans. My husband says the duck was delicious too. We had not planned on eating here but with Hurricane Willa heading our way this was the most convenient place to eat. Such a happy accident. read more
