Great seafood restaurant. We ate at an outdoor patio. The service was friendly. We did not know much Spanish and they were very kind and patient explaining to us their menu. The raw oysters and ceviche were outstanding and all of our seafood based dishes were delicious. Strongly recommend.

Very authentic. Great value for money.

My local good friend invited me out with his lovely wife and I really enjoyed the dinner here.

The food was great - from appetisers to main dishes. Fresh oysters, clams, good fish. Lovely local atmosphere and especially for the ones who want to feel well served, enjoy delicious food, all in a cozy local environment without going “too fancy”.

Definitely a must visit gem!

Holy cow, what an amazing restaurant! Some of the freshest seafood I’ve ever tasted! The oysters were finger-licking good, fantastic empanadas and wine selection and pisco sour on point! Definitely worth a visit!

Great patio on a neighborhood street with other nearby restaurants. Ceviche was fresh and just how I remember it from Peru! Staff are friendly and would eat here again to try other seafood. Tons of variety.

We fancied fish for dinner and tried this lovely restaurant. Bit hard to find but so glad we did. Huge menu of fresh fish and seafood and we both had the Reinate in lemon butter washed down with a bottle of sauvignon blanc. It was delicious and reasonably priced and the service was excellent. Most of the other diners were Chilean

Wonderful patio dinner. I had the ceviche traditional and emanadas de ino mariscos. The service was friendly (even with the language barrier) and attentive. Highly recommend for a traditional Chilean meal.

Amazing rice with seafood with a good wine pairing!
Great customer service and atmosphere.
Luis, thanks a lot for your tips!

Casual but excellent fish and seafood just off Providencia. The portions were very generous and the quality of the fish was excellent. The merluza austral is highly recommended and cost about 7,600 pesos, though without any sauces or sides. There are some good wine options, also at fair prices. The service was great and the atmosphere is pleasant. It has two floors and a bar. Very little non seafood, so go when you want fish and seafood!

If you want fantastic seafood at a good value then this your spot! Great service too!

The food was very good, especially the ceviche was very good with fresh fish. The octopus was great,tender and tasty. The machas a la parmesana were great with cheese. Dessert was okay.

Perfect food setting and service.
Ceviche imperial, beef fillet, fried eel and a bottle of Chardonnay.

Great food and cozy place. There's a daily dish that is not on the menu and has an excellent value.

Loved it! Best chupe de locos, great seafood empanada and amazing service! A lot of variety in the menu, must come back!

One of the best seafood restaurants in town. Not the trendiest of places, but the food is excellent, and the portions are huge in case you're hungry.

It was delicious sea food right next to Ave. Providencia, the razor clam parmesan (machas a la parmesana) are perfect! And you have to try the king crab hot pie (pastel de centolla). They also offer fried empanadas that are great for a light lunch. The paila Marina or seafood soup is a must.

Good, very nice and cheaper

Good food. English menu if you need it. Recommend this spot. The special on the menu (I cannot remember the name) is a type of seafood stew with red sauce and cheese. Seafood stew never sounds appealing. In this case it is amazing. It is covered in a cheese, comes in a metal serving bowl. Its excellent and a lot of food. The grilled octopus was also very good. Nice wind choices.

Excellent food and ambience, abundance of fresh seafood, many coming from their own tanks to ensure freshness. Staff were also really efficient and friendly. Spent 70.000 for 2 starters, a main and a bottle of wine and a few beers. Skipped desert as I was full.

Excellent, food was well prepared, the flavor was outstanding. the area was quiet and far the noisy main street which we tried to avoid due to the riots. The prices are a bit steep but Chile is more expensive than Argentina for sure.Worth the visit
