It looks like a Victorian era style with the wide checkered floors and moody dark tone interior. All to say, the ambiance is a chíc. The food was delicious and paired well with the local red wine was a little sweet and light, Cabernet. The ribeye steak Chileneo cut was delicious with just a little bit of fat skin but not enough for it be annoying to eat around. The pork slaughter was perfectly cooked and tender. The corn side dish was delicious as well. The octopus... if you like seafood this is a must!

The back patio area at Casaluz is dreamlike and absolutely gorgeous: after a long day of walking in the hot Santiago sun, a few pisco sours in the garden was nothing short of pure bliss. The cocktails are extraordinary and made with obvious understanding and expertise; even the most basic and common drink here is superb. The food at Casaluz is current, and they put a lot of thought into presentation. Ingredients are fresh and diverse, and their salads are especially enticing. Because they offer tapas, you can sample a wide range of flavors, but the croquetas de jamon Ibérico were my favorite dish. An absolute gem that delivers on service, food, drinks, and especially ambiance. A must if you're in Santiago!

We opted to sit inside in the nicely air conditioned upstairs space. It was a cool (pun intended) spot within the restaurant, even without a view of the Plaza. We had a bit of a language barrier as we did not speak Spanish and our server didn't speak English, but we got through and ordered some delicious food. We started our meal with the empanada sampler and I wish I could have another right now. It was delicious! Each one was different and spectacular in its own way. Definitely order this dish. For our meal, I had the crab lasagna and my friend had a fish that I can't remember the name, but it came with a potato salad. We were both very pleased. Bonus of free WiFi while you dine. For a traveler without an International plan, this was a huge bonus. How would I be able to Yelp without it?! Thanks Comedor Central for being awesome. I will definitely return on my next trip to Santiago.
