    We had a wonderful evening celebrating New Year’s Eve at Castillo del Mar. Perfect views, perfect service, great food and a wonderful location.

    While the service was great, the food is not fresh and has quality issues. The meat was completely cold on the inside, this means it was pre-cooked and placed in the fridge. They reheated my plate in the microwave. Afterwards I found 2 hairs in the sauce. Later that day I had diarrhea. What a joke.

    Wow. Christian is really the guy. He is very much capable of handling our experience from the beginning to the end. Risotto, vista, local Casablanca wine. Can not get any better than this…

    The beauty of the view is spoiled by the bad food, glacial service and extreme prices. Avoid this place.

    Relying on a steady stream of bus tour operators the service was good. The view is good. My starter was 4* but the main course fish wasn't flakey and fresh. I would have preferred to sample a more local restaurant Cant fault the service or the location. Maybe I was just unlucky. Most people would be satisfied here. I am looking for true seafood bliss

    Great setting with a view of the water. Nice selection of food and Chilean wine, the seafood was particularly good.

    This place has very good food and staff. Their food menu is great, mostly based on sea food. Price is high, but not too expensive and you get for what you pay. Another good feature the place has is the view: it stays in a very nice area from which you can see the Pacific Ocean hitting the rocks of the shore. Amazingly beautiful view. Undoubtedly I would go again when I am Viña Del Mar.

  • 5/5 Carlos A. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Papipupenta 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is in union club Arabic. The good points are ocean view, they have a menu in English, and Portuguese, waiter is kind and they can speak English. But they served our meal little bit slowly. We were waiting for around 30 minutes since we ordered. For this reason, my review is 4stars.
