This is a tough one. At various points throughout dinner I was undecided between 3 and 5 stars but…read moreultimately settled on 4 because of the dessert. My friend and I stopped in here after 10 PM on a Saturday night (an early dinner time here) and we were the only other table. It may as well have been a private dining experience. The only other table in the joint left shortly after we arrived. This is a very small restaurant located in a boutique hotel with an even smaller menu. Eight tables indoors. Three outdoors. Two appetizers. Three main dishes. Two desserts. That said, this place is not for everyone. If you don't like what they're serving, you're not going to enjoy your experience. I wanted to start with the squid, but they were out so they offered me scallops instead, which came out in a delicious gravy that would pair perfectly with Thanksgiving. My friend got the only other option, the ceviche, and we shared and very much enjoyed both. The ceviche was served in a coconut curry sauce with cilantro and peppers. The fish was rockfish, which was also the same fish they served as the main course and the one he ordered. He said the main course rockfish was the best fish he's ever had in a restaurant. I tend to agree. For context, he owns fishing boats and his family is in the seafood business. Don't take his comments lightly. The risotto they served with the dish with goat cheese was also something out of Thanksgiving dinner. Absolutely delicious. And the mustard sauce served with the fish was not too potent, but also not even necessary. The fish on its own needed no sauce to enjoy the flavor. I foolishly opted for the osso bucco and wished I hadn't after trying his fish. It's not that the meat was bad. But it wasn't very tender and it was served with the same exact sauce as the scallops. I assumed when they ran out of squid and offered me scallops instead, they felt that they needed some sauce for the scallops, so they used the same sauce served with the osso bucco. In fairness, this is a very small restaurant, so I can sympathize with their limits, but perhaps a beurre blanc sauce should have been the choice for the scallops. After all, the chef trained in France and what restaurant doesn't have butter and white wine? Speaking of wine, that's about your only choice here next to a few beers. My friend unsuccessfully tried to order a cocktail with gin. He then suggested they make the same cocktail with vodka. No vodka. So they brought out a bottle of Glenfiddich, as if that was even close, but that's ultimately what he settled on. For dessert, we split the only two options they had: an apple strudel with a delicious praline ice cream, I believe, and the chocolate fondant (which was basically a brownie) with a lemon-ish sorbet. Both sprinkled with the same grains, but both so damn good. We considered ordering another round of desserts but our stomachs told us no. Good coffee, too, even though I think it came out a simple commercially available single serve machine. Outstanding service as well, topped off by the chef coming out of the kitchen to ask how we were enjoying our meals. I love it when that happens. If not for some of the understandable repetition we saw and tasted throughout the meal, or the almost too-limited menu, I think I'd be at 5 stars. But overall, the service, the ambiance and much of the food were just too good to give 3.

Food was delicately cooked - the abalone dish and ceviche were both tasty and both main dishes (happens to be both a white fish) were pan seared and cooked well. There were 2 choices per course (appetizer /main / dessert) and are priced a la carte ($10-$12 appetizer and $20-$25 for main). I think the quality is great for the price. The decor was minimalist yet contemporary in a small dining room setting. No view, so I would recommend to have dinner here one night and at cafe torrin for the next night.

After a recommendation from Camilo at the Ritz, decided to pay a visit here. The spot is actually owned by one of the former employees from the Ritz and it's been fortunate to meet the owner here. Aside from the wonderful patio with mountain views , what I loved here is the level of knowledge in the staff. Our waiter not only knew the wines, but also had a story for each of the cheeses served. It was such a neat conversation. They do have a selection of wines by glass, so for tasting purposes, this is a good spot to come. I do wish there were more wines by the glass to try, particularly on the higher end of Chilean and Argentinian wines. Bottles are much more plentiful of course. All around, a perfect spot to spend an evening.

Nowadays, we're not so lucky, but the service, wines, and cheese are still amazing (fingers crossed all those regular things return soon!). The great somms here have worked all over the world, from France to Napa Valley. They speak every language and they are actually nice people, not snobby at all. (They might jokingly roll their eyes at you if you go from a big bold cab to a pinot noir, though!) Admittedly, I have only come for cheese, charcuterie plates, or dinner--never lunch, but I've heard good things. The cheese plates are terrific and always different (it's like the TJ Maxx of cheese boards!). The apps are also nice. There's not a huge selection for dinner plates (duck, beef, or chicken are pretty much it), but the chef is consistent. If you've lived in Chile longer than a year and still love Chilean wine but want to mix it up now and then with nice French wines, THIS is the spot for you. After spending a wonderful weekend trip in Medoc running the famed marathon, I'm now a huge fan (who isn't?) and occasionally want to enjoy those European flavors. In addition to the incredible French-wine selection, LDV also carries some of the best Chilean wines, including those from Vik vineyard. But the real reason I keep coming back is that delicious French cheese! Do you know there are cheese smugglers in Canada? Yeah, people risking their lives and freedom to smuggle in every kind of expensive French cheese imaginable. Well, good news cheese lovers of Chile, you need not risk jail time here. Truthfully, there is not a bad cheese behind the counter, and more often than not, they are on sale. What's not to love? You just walk in, straight back to the counter and ask for your favorite cheese in whatever size you like. They'll wrap it carefully and with a smile. Oh, and did I mention they deliver? Same day! Before 2020, the hubs and I came to LDV one afternoon just as the sun was setting in front of our indoor window seat. It was so incredibly hot, it was like a greenhouse. My first thought was, They are cooking all this wine! Well, fast forward to 2021, and there are now wine crates in those windows and only outdoor seating (I can also confirm they are dog friendly!). I still am not brave enough to sample the wines closest to the window, but I'll admit, I've never had a bad wine here. One thing I will note: On more than one occasion, my foreign credit card has not worked immediately (works fine with the online shop). Not sure if it's a wifi or machine issue or what, but I've come to expect hiccups when paying my bill. A minor inconvenience for great service and a happy belly.
