"The most exciting contemporary Chilean seafood restaurant is now under the helm of chef Ignacio Ovalle (formerly of Origen Bistro and Ópera), who serves plates of fresh fish and shellfish over white tablecloths. Indulgences such as poached Patagonian king crab seasoned with olive oil, chopped sea beans, and lemon peel, or grilled pink cusk eel in garlic butter litter the enticing menu. But the star of the show is the namesake La Calma, a loaded seafood platter that offers a deep dive into Chilean waters with oysters, a variety of clams, assorted sea snails like limpets, local fish, scallops, and sea urchin." - Bill Esparza, Hillary Eaton

One of the best seafood places I have been to - ever ! The La Calma Platter was absolutely fantastic ! The seafood was so fresh and delicious. Generous sashimi and scallops as well as various shells ... Paired with a great Chileanean 🇨🇱 red wine 🍷 dinner was perfect. To finish the seafood evening we had the Oyster Platter. The evening was perfect and the waiters were very attentive. Overall, a wonderful dining experience!

Spectacular meal -- scallops, clams with red squirts, abalone -- everything was amazing. Sauvignon Blanc from Atacama was perfect. Only disappointment was they were 86 the conger eel swim bladder. Maybe next time.

Exceptional afternoon lunch! We started with the 1/2 La Calma, which was incredible, paired with a delicate bottle of Albariño from Anduriña by Fernando Almeda. Our filet of fish was beautifully prepared; we finished with chocolate mousse and an espresso.

The service was not at the expected level, there are many dishes not available from the menu. The food was good however the expectation was not satisfied. The vibe was not the best. The cheesecake is the best dessert.

If you love seafood, La Calma by Fredes is amazing. King Crab, Whole Fish, Seafood Platter, Oysters, Octopus, Conger Eel, were all so fresh and perfectly prepared. I ate there 2 days in a row because why not. Service was professional and friendly. Wine list was well curated and fairly priced. Top 100 restaurant and for good reason. Cheers

Great place for fresh seafood with great value. The menu was a bit overwhelming and our waitress did an amazing job with suggestions on food and wine pairings. The 1/2 La Calma was enough to share for two people. My favorite was the linguine with King Crab. Que Rico! As for the atmosphere- it was just ok. We sat on the patio. The smoke from neighboring tables or people smoking near the entrance was a miss for me. Make sure to plan ahead and get seated inside the restaurant.

Very nice experience. We preferred to be seated inside but unfortunately it was full. Anyway the owner (?) did his best to letting us enjoy the dinner even seated outside. Me as non smoker and my boyfriend who likes colder weather were only bit of disturbed by another guest who smoked..Food very tasty, helpful stuff. Will come again one day.
