The best seafood in Santiago is served in a dining room where the walls are covered with flotsam and jetsam found on Chilean beaches. Ask your waiter—or friendly owner "Coco" Pacheco—which fish was caught that day. This is a good place to try Chile's famous machas (clams), served with tomatoes and Parmesan cheese, or corvina (sea bass) grilled with plenty of butter. Don't miss the cellar, where you can sample wines from the extensive collection of Chilean vintages.

The description is amazing both in our 2009 Fodor's book & here on the website. We would love to go here - mouth waters when reading about it - but apparently, this restaurant burned down in 2008. Looks like they are working on reconstruction, but it has not reopened yet. Not sure why this wasn't updated but here's the link to the restaurant's letter. http://www.aquiestacoco.cl/home_ing.htm (Note: The rating is low only because I couldn't leave it blank.)
