We came here based off trip advisor. The service was exceptional but the food was well below average. Both mains were overcooked and tough. Tourist trap.

This place is definitely one of the best restaurants I've been in South America. Great service, great food, nice ambience. Don't miss the tapas! Recommended.

We arrived at the venue after a little local assistance with direction (street number is shown as 41 and should actually be 041 which is in the opposite direction and across a... More

I have NO idea why this restaurant gets so many positive reviews. I've been living in Santiago for 3 years and I had never heard a peep about this place until I happened on the tripadvisor reviews and #18 (!?!) rating among Santiago restaurants. Although I've passed it hundreds of times (usually to go to the much more competent restaurants... More

Lot's of restaurants in this area. We stayed at the Sheraton and it's an easy walk from there (don't be put off by the wide roads and the river, the sidewalks are good). The food was high quality and the staff were very friendly. Their english appeared to be uniformly good. The prices are reasonable and it's a pleasant area... More

Loved this restaurant. The food is great and quite affordable given the quality. If you can manage to eat on the terasse in front it makes for a very enjoyable evening among friends.
