Severely disappointed…read more It took exactly an hour for food to arrive on the table after we sat down, even though we ordered promptly and there were very few other patrons for an "early" 13:15 lunch. I had only an hour before an appointment, and had the time to eat only 5 mouthfuls before leaving. The salmon dish tasted nothing like the description--no sweet confiture that I could find--and was too dry, and was served mostly cold. It was an incompetent dish. It was miserable compared to others I've had in the neighborhood, definitely not what I would have expected for the price. Total bill for two (one shared entree, two main dishes, a cup of wine and some mineral water for each) came out to US$ 140. The sole silver lining (the second star in this review) is for the service, as the staff had the grace not to ignore us while we were waiting and offered a free (tiny) entree of abalones with mayo as the minutes dragged on.

We went to lunch with a couple of friends here and we loved it. We had never been here before and…read morewe were very impressed by the quality of the food. This restaurant is located in downtown Santiago, in a nice and quiet area close to Plaza Brasil. We stayed at the "terraza" which is actually located downstairs, but in a covered patio area. Really nice and spacious. It wasn't really cold even though it's winter. They bring you a bread of basket to start that also comes with some cocktail empanadas that are absolutely delicious. My husband ordered a whiskey sour and I ordered a margarita. My margarita is the best one I have had in Chile. For food I ordered the "biffe chorizo, lomo vetado" cooked medium with a side of creamed corn. My meat was perfectly cooked and so big that I was able to share it with my sister. Our server was attentive and efficient, but he gave us time to talk, think about what we wanted and enjoy our food. Even though it's a pricier restaurant in Santiago, I think it is definitely worth the price. I will be back!

More like 3.5 Stars, but not 4-Stars…read more Being a native Japanese, I've tried several Japanese restaurants and local sushi places in Santiago. And ShooGun is probably the most authentic Japanese food you can find in Chile besides Kintaro near Centro. Unlike the new joints in more contemporary mood, such as Temple Lounge (@ Intercontinental) or Osaka (@ W Hotel), atmosphere is pretty straight forward, old-school Japanese sushi bar or Izakaya. So this place is more suitable for more corporate/business dinner. *Not recommended for those looking for a romantic dinner. Food quality is good. Santiago has a decent seafood, and this place does serve good sashimis. As for drinks, they have pretty limited selection of Japanese beer/sake. You can still enjoy the domestic brands of beers/wines. Price setting is quite high probably due to its location, target, and hard-to-get ingredients. Because of the high price, the restaurant is usually not too busy. Most likely no need to make reservation.

This is one of those things.. Yes - it's probably the best Japanese food you'll find in Santiago…read more Is it good Japanese food? The fact that they restrict themselves to mainstream and locally available fish selection is probably a plus, since the fish is fresh and tasty, and the presentation is legitimate and tasteful - actual sushi, rather than the "Papa John's Sushi Dippin' Strips" obscenity that is most local sushi, so unreserved kudos for that most fundamental metric. Still, the menu is flat and touristy. I would put it on a par with what you would expect to find on the catwalks at Japantown in San Francisco - geared towards the ignorant and wide-eyed tourist. The place is dirty, with visible accumulations of grime in the screen-doors. There's lots of waiting, mistakes, contrition, explanations in place of decent service. We had to wait over 10m between the natto and the unagi that we ordered simultaneously to end our meal "because they got other customers"? Seriously? Ankimo, and even ahi are un-heard of. The food was not bad, the fish reasonably fresh, and as with the rest of Chile's Japanese offerings, asking for Nigori Sake just breaks the program - the concept of unfiltered sake is just sooo incomprehensible. For the stupidly high prices, it's a bit of an insult.

Simple and effective french restaurant with good value for money. They have small menu which they…read morerenew every now and then depending on the season.

There's one pizza that has some spicy peppers on it, which are actually super spicy - probably enough to kill most Chileans (although I appreciated the spice!).
