    (Translated by Google) We went to the Balcon de Mario restaurant, a group of ubound 32-person gym classmates attended on Friday, November 25, 2022. First they gave us to choose a menu 1. Chicken skewers, tenderloin with mushroom sauce, tiramisu or roasted milk. Menu 2 . Octopus and salmon fish empanadas with margarita sauce and dessert, the value of the menu $28,000 for each person, then they announced that it was a buffet practically a day before. The surprise was when we arrived, the place was full of people while we waited, nothing was served, not even water and heat, there was no ventilation. When it was time to have dinner and get in line, one person was distributed. You had to ask him please to serve meat or chicken. Some of my companions did not manage to have dinner only once there was a replacement of the food for the number of people there were, 100 diners, at least not to say that there were more. This is a scam, no one explained the situation. Don't go to that place. because it was not buffet. We are going to the Sernac to file a complaint. Hopefully the authorities will inspect these restaurants where they scam people. No stars for this restaurant. For scam. Angelica Escorcia Hidalgo (Original) Fuimos al restaurant Balcon de Mario un grupo de compañeras de gimnasia de ubound 32 persona asistieron el viernes 25 de noviembre 2022 . Primero nos dieron a elegir un menú 1 . Brochetas de pollo , lomo con salsa de champillones , tiramisu o leche asada . Menú 2 . Empanaditas de pulpo y pescado salmon con salsa margarita y postre , el valor del menú $ 28.000 por cada persona luego avisaron qué era un buffet prácticamente un día antes . La sorpresa fue cuándo llegamos estaba el local lleno de personas mientras esperábamos no sirvieron nada ni siquiera agua y un calor ,no había ventilación. Cuando llego el momento de cenar y colocarse a fila , una persona era el repartido. Había que pedirle por favor que sirvieran carne o pollo . Algunas de mis compañeras no alcanzaron a cenar solo una vez hubo reposicion de la comida para la cantidad de personas que había,100 comensales, como minimo por no decir que había más . Esto es una estafa, nadie explico la situación . No vayan a ese local. porque No era buffet. Vamos a ir al sernac a colocar una denuncia .Ojalá las autoridades vayan a fiscalizar estos restaurantes donde estafan a las personas . Ninguna estrella a este restaurant . Por estafa .

    (Translated by Google) To begin, we lined up for more than 30 minutes .... A guy came in and sat down, the waiters saw what happened and did nothing about it ... Once we were seated, no one attended to us, they passed and they passed and nothing ... We had to approach a waitress to ask her to please take our order. Waiting for the horrible order ... Long delay .. Until at one point I thought they had forgotten our order .. I am not a professional on the subject but I understand that when a family gets up from lunch the tables are cleaned on the spot I mean immediately to make it possible for another family to pass through. Hopefully this experience will help you and you can fix the customer service a bit. (Original) Para empezar hicimos una fila de mas 30 minutos.... Llego un tipo entró y se sentó los meseros vieron lo ocurrido y no hicieron nada al respecto... Una vez ya sentados nadie nos atendía pasaban y pasaban y nada... Nos tuvimos que acercar a una mesera para pedirle de favor que tomara nuestro pedido. La espera del pedido horrible... Mucha demora.. Hasta en un momento pensé que se habían olvidado de nuestro pedido.. No soy profesional en el tema pero tengo entendido que cuando se levanta una familia de almorzar las mesas se limpian en el acto osea de inmediato para haci poder hacer pasar a otra familia. Ojala les sirva de algo esta experiencia y puedan arreglar un poco el servicio de atención.

    (Translated by Google) Horrible Bad Bad, initially they offered us a menu and the same day we had to attend (33 training colleagues) they mentioned that they would serve a buffet that could not cope with all the people who were in the place, the food ran out and you could never make it to repeat, the attention of the Garzón was also terrible, the agreements were not respected and the pockets were filled $ 🤦🏻‍♀️ Horrible, lousy, bad bad… I would NOT recommend it ever, ever! (Original) Horrible Malo Malo, inicialmente nos ofrecieron un menú y el mismo día que debíamos asistir ( 33 compañeras de Entreno) nos mencionaron que servirían bufete el que no dio abasto para toda la gente que había en el lugar, se acabó la comida y nunca te pudiste repetir, la atención del Garzón pésima también, no se respetaron los acuerdos y se llenaron los bolsillos $ 🤦🏻‍♀️ Horrible, pésimo, malo malo… NO lo recomendaría jamás de los jamases!!

    (Translated by Google) HORRIBLE. First and last time I go. Terrible service, 1 hour waiting for the appetizers that I insisted on 4 times and still they did not bring them. We finished dinner and still no appetizer. The insufficient buffet dinner, a few salads, rice and chicken and pork meat, nothing more! In addition to the fact that they serve you half a spoonful, they do not let you self-serve, on top of that they do not replace the food. There is no seafood, there is no pasta, there is no variety of anything. And some low-quality food like chicken. The drinks, what to say. Bad, poorly prepared, the piscola with a faded drink because they buy 3-liter drinks, they make mistakes in the orders, eternal waiting... they make mistakes in the details of the account, the place is not enabled as seen in the photos. Music too loud that does not allow conversation at any time. Anyway...a moment that was pleasant became the most unpleasant and wasted. lousy 👎 (Original) HORRIBLE. Primera yúltima vez que voy. Pésimo servicio, 1 hora esperando los aperitivos que insistí en 4 oportunidades y aun así no los traían. Terminamos de cenar y aun sin aperitivo. La cena buffet insuficiente, unas cuantas ensaladas, arroz y carne pollo y cerdo, nada más! Además que ellos te sirven media cucharada, no te dejan autoservir, encima no reponen la comida. No hay mariscos no hay pastas no hay variedad de nada. Y la comida alguna.de baja calidad como el pollo. Los tragos para qué decir. Malos, mal preparados, la piscola con bebida desvanecida porque compran bebidas de 3 litros, se equivocan en los pedidos, eternas esperas... se equivocan en el detalle de la cuenta, el lugar no está habilitado como se ve en las fotos. Música demasiado fuerte que no permite conversar en ningún momento. En fin...un momento que era grato se convirtió en el más desagradable y malgastado. Pésimo 👎

    (Translated by Google) "Buffet" - one name ... The queue for food around the perimeter of the restaurant. When we got to the food, there was nothing. The same is true with desserts. To take a drink or water, you need to stand in another queue and still prove that you have not taken a drink before. Live music is so loud that you can't hear what you're saying, not like the neighbors at the table. Had a disgusting evening. (Original) "Шведский стол" - одно название... Очередь за едой по всему периметру ресторана. Когда дошли до еды, не было ничего. С десертами такая же ситуация. Чтобы взять напиток или воду надо отстоять в другой очереди и еще доказать, что ты не брал раньше напиток. Живая музыка на столько громкая, что не слышно что говоришь ты, не то что соседи за столом. Отвратительно провели вечер.

    (Translated by Google) I have regularly attended large events, New Year 2022, Mother's Day and now New Year 2023, although in the first 2 experiences they were regular for various reasons, I must say that in the latter they improved considerably in logistics and organization, the The service by the waiters was adequate and I must highlight the owner who was always willing to meet all kinds of requirements and even some special ones, related to special food and those who attended with babies. Regarding the food, it stands out that they complied with the flavors of the menu, the dishes were at an adequate temperature and that they served us all together, considering that there were quite a few of us. I hope they continue to progress so they can continue holding large events, since in this city there are not many places that offer this alternative. (Original) He asistido con regularidad a grandes eventos, año nuevo 2022, dia de la madre y ahora año nuevo 2023, si bien en las primeras 2 experiencias fueron regulares por diversos motivos, debo decir que en este ultimo mejoraron considerablemente en la logística y organización, el servicio por parte de los meseros fue adecuado y debo resaltar al dueño que siempre tuvo disposición para atender todo tipo de requerimiento e incluso algunos especiales, relacionados con alimentación especial y aquellos que asistimos con bebes. Respecto de la comida, se destaca que cumplieron con los sabores del menú, los platos estaban a una temperatura adecuada y que nos sirvieron a todos juntos, considerando que eramos bastantes. Ojalá sigan progresando para poder continuar realizando grandes eventos, ya que en esta ciudad no hay muchos lugares que entregan esta alternativa.

Congratulations! (Original) Acogedor lugar, buena atención y buena comida👍 Recomendable 👍 Único detalle actualizar la carta QR ya que los precios no corresponden a los de la carta virtual. Felicitaciones!

    (Translated by Google) For me it was the best place to serve a delicious conger eel broth, that which I was in the fourth region trying, this time it was neither rich nor abundant. (Original) Para mí era el mejor lugar para servirse un rico caldillo de congrio,eso que estuve en la cuarta región probando,esta vez no estaba ni rico ni abundante.

    (Translated by Google) Starting with the information given when buying the tickets, it was false, since the subject of food, we were given a menu and another menu was served, with respect to confetti, it was according to the number of people, that is, the tickets were valid for everyone The same, but as we were only two people, less importance was given to the tables that were made up of more. THEY DID NOT ASK FOR THE MOBILITY PASS Which is an important element to think about in the future, they also did not say that they were going to wait for the customer with some empanadas and skewers, which never was, only at the end of the night they offered us and they were frozen. Of the guys who served the tables, I give them a 10, excellent their attention ready to 100% to satisfy the customer. Regarding the music, with Dj, the party started, but they brought a cumbia set, which was a disaster since it took everyone who was dancing off the track, there were only like 4 couples who followed others chose to go to the sector below, as the music was better. And the lady that I encouraged singing her participation excellent. I miss Don Mario Q. E. P D (Original) Empezando por la información dada al comprar las entradas fue falsa, ya que el tema de la comida, se nos dio un menú y se sirvió otra menu, con respecto al confeti, era según la cantidad de personas, o sea las entradas valían para todos igual, pero como éramos solo dos personas se le dio menos importancia que a las mesas que estaban constituidas por más. NO PIDIERON EL PASE DE MOVILIDAD El cual es un elemento importante a pensar en el futuro, también no dijeron que iban a esperar al cliente con algunas empanada y brochetas, la cuál nunca fue, solo al final de la noche nos ofrecieron y estaban heladas. De los chicos que atendieron las mesas, yo a ellos le doy un 10, excelente su atención dispuesto al 100% para satisfacer al cliente. Con respecto a la música, con Dj, se prendió la fiesta, pero trajeron un conjunto de cumbia, que fue un desastre ya que sacó a todos los que estaban bailando de la pista, solo eran como 4 parejas que siguieron otros optaron por irse al sector de abajo, ya que la música era mejor. Y la dama que animo cantando excelente su participación. Se echo de menos a Don Mario Q. E. P D

    (Translated by Google) Well, good attention from the waiters, clean and tidy place. Or worried about the clients, only one problem, that the announcement that the Open Bar begins at 11:00 p.m. is not announced... but at the same time, they consulted and problem solved ... it is to recommend good attention and pleasant environment ....... (Original) Bueno , buena atencion de los garzones,local limpio y ordenado.oreocupados por los clientes ,sólo un problema ,que no se avisa en el anuncio que el Bar Abierto comienza a las 23:00 hrs...pero a la vez se consulto y se soluciono problema...es para recomendar buena atencion y grato hambiente.......

    (Translated by Google) The music was excellent, the attention of the garzones, excellent, but the dinner left much to be desired for the expensive charge, I'm sorry but that's my opinion. Improve that theme, because they told me it was very good, but for me I fail at that ... (Original) La música excelente, la atención de los garzones, excelente, pero la cena dejó mucho que desear para el cobro tan caro, lo siento pero esa es mi opinión. Mejorar ese tema, porque me contaron que era muy bueno, pero para mí fallo en eso...
