The meal started well with friendly service and the Salmon tartare cones. They were delicious! The tables on the patio are wonderful. We ordered the salmon and the Sea Bass. I was particularly looking forward to having Chilean Sea Bass while in Chile. Ironically the salmon was the hit and the Sea Bass was dry. Also, after we chose to order just a glass of wine each instead of a bottle, our waiter abandoned us. He stopped checking on us and we had to ask for the check (albeit typical in Chile) after quite a long wait. Please note this isn't a bad restaurant, it's just not consistently great for a 5 star hotel. There are many options for good dining in Santiago, this one is average for fine dining.

Incredible experience!…read more We were hoping for the opportunity to try a good Chilean Sea Bass, but due to the season found ourselves indulging in the juices of the Patagonian lamb perfectly prepared with putee eggplant and a Carmanere wine glaze. Before we can even decide on an appetizer, we were greeted with freshly warm biscuits that were stuffed with caramelized onions and a cone of tuna Crudo (on the house!). Pro Tip: Request a taste of several wines, including the regional Carmanere (originating from France, but rediscovered in Chile). Camilo provided us with exceptional service and even surprised us with a parting gift! It was a pleasure getting to know him and hope to cross paths with him in the future.

In a shopping mall entrance surrounded by PF Changs and TGI Fridays, Le Perla Del Pacifico truly is…read morea gem. On day one in Chile, my friend and I wandered over to the shopping area on a recommendation from our Concierge at the Renaissance Hotel. We wandered over because the high concentration of restaurants, not because our stunning interest in mall food. We found Le Perla and found it plenty authentic compared to the neighbors, plus it was gorgeous outside and we were seeking patio dining. We posted up at La Perla and were very happy with our decision. The servers were english-speaking and they had the menu translated into many languages. We started with two pisco sours and were delighted with how tasty and strong they were! They still remain our favorite pisco sours from the entire trip (and trust me, we drank a lot of them)! For dinner, I ordered the quinoa and avocado side, sauteed vegetables and a chilean salad of tomatoes, onions, peppers and cilantro. B ordered the sea bass and I offered him to help me on my pleathora of sides. We started with some complimentary bread that was fine and simple. It was accompanied with a variety of dipping/spreading options including a salsa of sorts, a butter and some type of aioli. Our dinner came our in a timely fashion and we were thrilled with the large portions and delicious looking food. The quinoa could have been cooked slightly longer, but the flavor was amazing and again, the portions were generous. The sauteed vegetables were exactly what I expected and hoped for. The chilean salad was the favorite by far, with its amazing flavor and juicy, ripe tomatoes. B was very happy with his fish and also helped make a large dent on the salad. We couldn't finish all our dishes (we did however, polish off two more pisco sours...) and left very satisfied. We went back a second time this trip and has, yet again and outstanding expereince. I am sure this is not the most authentic selection, but when it's across the street and the food and drinks are this good, it's 5 stars in my books!

Two were beef and two were shrimp and cheese. Both were delicious. We have had empanadas from Argentina. The ones from Argentina are baked in a heavier pastry while the Chilean ones are fried in a lighter pastry. Both are delicious! The pisco sour was wonderful and a bit strong for me (I'm a lightweight). I'm glad I ordered a small one. Next we ordered the mixed ceviche. It is different from Mexican ceviche since the fish isn't chopped and mixed. Still amazing!! It is served with hominy and fried corn kernels. Bottom line: yummmm!!
