This place is unique, cozy, in an interesting neighborhood off the beaten track, with tasty food and great cocktails. Unfortunately, the service was pretty bad, so I have to deduct a star. We've been in South America for nearly 4 months, so we're used to the different pace and approach to service overall. We've learned to be more patient. But... More

Superb french cuisine. We really enjoyed the wagu-beef risotto. Service was good and if you fancy a close-shave after dining then you can go to the barber next door.

The peluqueria is an incredible old-fashioned authentic barbershop at the entrance of the restaurant - it made me want to get my haircut. Inside was also an authentic antique. Only one problem, the food. It just wasn't very good and certainly not inspirational. Wine list was also weak and at the end of the meal, I was looking forward to... More

I live in Santiago, and was recommended this place by a Chilean friend (whom lives in the UK). I eventually went when my girlfriend came to visit. We didn't book, it was "early" (for Chileans) on a Friday evening, and despite being predominantly pre-reserved tables, our waiter was very hospitable. Having just walked around a hot city, we weren't looking... More

I just returned from a dinner at this place with my friend and his wife. Unfortunately, our experience with the waitstaff was so horrible that not even the excellent food and otherwise intriguing atmosphere could compensate. Firstly, the waiter disappeared and abandoned us for about a half hour after bringing in the appetizer of cheese plate. When the time came... More

I adore this place. It's got such an excellent vibe and eccentric feel to it and feels so special. The food is quite good, I love their pisco happy hour special.

A very inconspicious place and a pleasant surprise when you enter. The traditional barbershop is also an amazing place to see.

Very delicious food, but the restaurant allows smoking inside, which means that when you're trying to enjoy your meal you're also trying to dodge the smoke from the table next to you. It's really annoying having cigarette smoke go in your mouth together with your food. The place is very nice, interesting decoration, consistent service, very delicious food, but the... More
