Mare Nostum

$$-$$$$, Seafood, Providencia

User Rating: ** 2.0

Fodor's Review:

One of Santiago's most elegant dining rooms, Mare Nostrum doesn't look like a seafood restaurant. In fact, the only clue that it specializes in fish is the subtle ship's-wheel pattern in the deep blue carpeting. All the effort here is on the food, which leans toward Peruvian specialties like seviche (raw fish marinated in citrus) and tiradito (similar, but covered in a pepper sauce). A standout is the ambrosia de pulpo, a spicy grilled octopus. The friendly staff is happy to help you negotiate the menu or pick just the right wine.

Bad Presentation

Posted by AnnAndDale from Las Vegas, NV on 4/6/08

We were seated in an upstairs dining room void of any décor. The waiter presented us with one golf ball sized roll each. The appetizer consisted of three indistinguishable puddles of sauce on a platter with a chipped margarita glass placed in the middle. The margarita glass had three small shrimp attached to it. After seeing this and forcing myself to taste it, I decided that staying would be a bad choice.
