Sara was our server and she was amazing. The good is phenomenal and very fresh. I’m visiting Chile for two weeks and will definitely come back!

The food was really good. Had the clams with green sauce, pulpo with potatoes (recommend it very much!) and the suspiro limeno (a typical peruvian dessert) which is kinda sweet but was delicious. Had 2 beers with it. The service was excellent and the price was absolutely reasonable for what you get. Perfect ending of my time in Santiago.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at resto and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was impeccable, with our waiter being attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We enjoyed a fantastic selection of seafood, including sea urchins, oysters, a delicious seafood soup, and perfectly seared scallops. Every dish was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. I was particularly impressed with the value for money. For the quality of the food and the overall dining experience, the price was incredibly reasonable. We even managed to enjoy a bottle of wine and still came in under $100. I highly recommend this resto to anyone looking for a memorable seafood dining experience. You won’t be disappointed!

Had abalone and grilled octopus. Excellent service, and dining on the 4th floor outdoor terrace was nice, but a bi chilly. And you have to climb four flghts of stairs, so that might be an issue for some.

This restaurant was absolutely fantastic. Rustic and nestled in quite an inconspicuous location ( very unexpected). We were early so it was mostly empty but it felt very warm and inviting. The servers were absolutely top notch! The shellfish appetizer platter was very well presented and tasted very fresh. The Reinata and the Langoustine were both amazing and I'd give this place a 5+ stars if I could. The shrimp risotto was one of the best I've every had including those I've hat in most places in Italy ( unfortunately only been to touristic restaurants)! Will need to return on my next trip!

Absolutely incredible service! Told the waitress Sara that it was our first day in Chile and she gave us so many awesome tips with such amazing positive energy! Food was also great - very fresh and delicious seafood 😊

The starters are so fresh, specially the oysters, yammmmmm! The octopus was full of flavor and the sauce was classic!! We received really good service from Gabriel, the recommended wine was also so tasty, he even showed us the pool where they keep all the seafood alive! We can only recommend!
