Very pricey and somewhat pretentious but very interesting building and wonderful view of the ocean. We were here with a large group for a late lunch. We mostly had salads or ceviche which were elegantly presented and large. Waiters handled the separate checks issues fine. I'd eat here again. I have no idea where you would park if you come by car, as there seemed to be only about 4 parking spaces.

We went to La Flor De Chile based on a recommendation for our concierge at the Sheraton. Everything he described about the food(excellent authentic and unique Chilean fare), and the price(very reasonable), in addition to large portions, was accurate. The service, however, had a lot to be desired. Our Spanish is not the greatest, so they offered an English menu along with an interpreter so our order could be taken. The interpreter, who also works as a server, made us feel welcome and was very accommodating. It went down hill from there, and we were treated with disdain and sensed that we were not welcome there by the other servers. We are not rude people and we enjoy meeting others and treating them kindly. Iâm not sure how we made them upset with us. We did see them serving others, but we had to constantly request refills(which we still would not get), and we were largely ignored unless we made repeated attempts to communicate. To add insult to injury, a few jeers and inside jokes were directed at us, given the little Spanish we do know, we understood what was being said. Additionally, as the portions are so large, we opted to have the leftovers boxed so we could try dessert. The dessert was very good. We only received a portion of our leftovers, fortunately it was the larger portion, even though it appeared to have been dumped and shoved angrily into the containers. It was a mess. We are still in Chile, and during our stay thus far have been receiving outstanding service from the businesses and restaurants we have visited. It is an exceptionally beautiful place. The only exception thus far regarding service is La Flor De Chile. Great food, great portions, great price, degrading service. It was unfortunate. Even more unfortunate is that we will not be returning. There are other options equal in quality and price all over this area, with outstanding service. And even if the price is more, we will gladly pay a premium for good service.

The atmosphere was dark and dingy and the whole place didn't feel particularly clean (especially the toilets)My steak was overdone but edible however my friend's meal was completely inedible, can't remember what she ordered but it turned up as a beige blancmange with pieces of octopus peeking from the depths of the river of sludge as if begging to be rescued. The wine was acidic and vile.Service wasn't terrible but the staff seemed uninterested and were fairly inattentive.

A large selection of empanadas, pizzas, lasagnas. All empanadas can be ordered either baked or fried, which is not the case with a lot of other places. The lineup outside the place in summer shows that others agree that it's a great option.

Leaving our condo to enjoy dinner at a nearby restaurant, we stumbled upon the Selkâfe Patagonia and were pleasantly rewarded.The food was excellent as was the wine recommended by the waiter. Chicken in a red wine sauce and boiled vegetables preceded by a shrimp salad was spectacular.Service and atmosphere was extraordinary.Highly recommended by Canadians from Edmonton, Alberta.Thank you for you Comment!!!

First time to ever taste abalone empanadas and the most tender lamb dish with special accompanying native epicurean sausage. The chef was superbâ he prepared soup not even on the menu for our whole group. The female singer entertained us with an array of songs from different genres: from Patsy Cline to Adele and much more! The service was impeccable and most appreciated. We loved the cocktail/wine/beer list and enjoyed the intimate flavor of the restaurant. Jim and Edna

We stumbled upon this restaurant and were instantly charmed by its atmosphere. The friendly staff and the chef himself were very inviting without being pushy. And more importantly they have delicious food. We had the Al Fresco Ravioli and it was so fresh and flavorful. I will come again if I have the chance.

Went as a family. We ordered the entraña-shrimp-fettuccini dish, grilled octopus and salmon ceviche. The first dish was regular, the meat was overcooked, the shrimp were tiny and the only real saviour was the fettuccini which was actually well cooked and prepared. The grilled octopus was terrible, it was hard and not chewable. The salmon ceviche was the better dish, nice portion. We also had two juices, the detox and mango, these were ok as well. A nice touch was the warm bread at the beginning, it was nice consistency and warm. Overall, just regular. Wonât go back.
