We ordered different ceviches as a start. Excellent. After that we had fish: awfully prepared, a disater. Three different wines we asked for (Sauvignon Blanc) that were on the list, they did not have. Never going back.

This is a great seafood restaurant. Service was very good. Our entrée was a huge plate of mixed seafood that was served and tasted somewhat like fajitas! It was delicious.

I had made a reaervation on the terrace and it took 15 minutes to give one the four empry tablea. We ordered the swordfish and it was raw. The service was slow as the waiters stood by the entrance talking with each other.very dissapointing for a $300 dollar lunch for 5.

This restaurant belongs to Peruvian restaurant franchise established across American continent by famous Peruvian chef Gaston Acurio. I have been to this restaurant several times before (last time it was 2 years ago), as well as to other Acurio’s restaurants in Santiago. All of them were good, with creative and tasty food and good service. That’s why when my friends... More

We had the "causas" sampler, which was very delicate and delicious, but the seafood starter was misleading and not great (it only had grilled fish, octopus tentacles and very small crab pincers). Service was fast but distracted (we had to keep begging them to fill our glasses of wine). We paid USD 125 for two starters, one dessert and a... More

The food was great. The place is very nice in the upscale neighborhood of Vitacura. It seems it is always packed, so it seems like a good idea to book in advance. Though the waiter was very kind, the service was not good. It took ages to get our meals. However, once we got them, they were delicious.

This is a good size restaurant featuring Peruvian style seafood. It is very popular with locals for lunch and for dinner. We enjoyed lunch there; the food was good but not outstanding. These seemed to be dishes prepared in large quantities for crowds. Nothing wrong with this, but this is not a gourmet place. The wines by the glass deserve... More

I was in Chile on business and was invited to this great place based on a strong local recommendation. Great food and warm young atmosphere. In 2 we had 3 different dishes to share. Chevice and row fish in general were amazing but also a "cooked" plate based on shrimps was to be remembered. Good wine (even at the glass)... More

Fantastic seafood, fun atmosphere. Ceviche was to die for. Very nice staff. Only complaint restrooms are not up to snuff. Reservations are needed here, we called on our first night Tuesday and they were full so booked second night, limited availability. The place was packed soon after we arrived and we were unable to sit outside.
