Came here with my husband for a late lunch, and my experience was...meh. Very average (slightly…read morebelow average actually). But, my husband was satisfied with his meal, so I'm giving them a 3 star rating. I ordered a grilled salmon salad (I'm pregnant, so I couldn't order the ceviche, which Peru is famous for), and my salad was literally iceberg lettuce, artichoke hearts, some peppers and grilled salmon. It didn't come with any dressing, so I asked for some oil and vinegar. I will say that the salmon was grilled nicely and was pretty flavorful, but, as I was in the mood for a salad, the yellow iceberg leaves were pretty disappointing. My husband ordered one of their Ceviche dishes, and was pretty happy with it. The portion size was huge, and the flavor (in his opinion), was tasty and fresh. The price point was decent, the service was mediocre and the ambiance was fair. I definitely wouldn't return.

It had a reduction sauce poured over it to die for. My colleague had marinated steak bites over french fries and rice, with grilled onions and bell peppers with the same reduction sauce, like a thick beef base (no cream). Italian is widely available in Chile and overused in descriptions, I would call this Italian fusion at best; my colleague is from Chile and suggested Peruvian this is where we went, so this Italian title is not 100% accurate, more like 25% since one special out of 4 was pasta based.

I generally stick to seafood (shrimp, salmon, etc) but my dining mates have ordered other items too (steak, chicken, etc) and it's ALL good. I haven't received something I didn't like there. The food is flavorful and well seasoned. It's an oasis in a land of under-seasoned food. The salmon menuiere and the shrimp in some sort of Peruano sauce are my favorites. The pisco sours are good too! I went off course and ordered a flavored (raspberry) pisco - and it's just divine! The prices are fair - definitely not cheap, but not very expensive either. Expect an entree to be about 8500 CLP. Atmosphere/decor The atmosphere is casual. Main seating is upstairs. Service Service was fine. Service in Chile is a bit less attentive than what we are accustomed to in the United States, but no problems here. Recommendation Definitely go! Good food.

A couple of minutes later we had a basket of warm, delicious bread and a little bowl of very mild and tasty 'pebre' at our table. The lunch menu is moderately pricey, around 9000 per person, and a bargain at that price. There is a choice of typical Chilean starters including a varied and tasty salad of traditional Chilean goodies like carrots and hearts of palm on a bed of greens, or you could opt for the ceviche. For the main course we tried the fish of the day in a mildly spicy sauce, accompanied by your choice of mashed potatoes, rice, or salad, but the beef and veggie offerings looked good as well. Dessert choices included a Chilean flan, a strawberry mousse, tiramisu, or tapioca. All in all a charming place with very good food for the money, a lovely ambiance, and great service. This will doubtless become a regular stop on future visits to Valparaiso.
