Nice location, to bad for the "elevator music" 🤣 , service is good and fast considering there were only 5 tables taken... cold place with no heating on and paper napkinsfor a restaurantwith these prices os pretty bad... 😱😱😱 Kimg crab is good but served too cold from refrigerator... lemon mayonnaise is delicate amd tasty. Wine bottles selection is quite large, bit the wines on the glass or small bottles is poor... Prices are expensive.

We were in a rush and they’re very professional and fast. The sautéed vegetables are way better than salads, the oven lamb tastes good, is a big portion and very reasonable price. King crab tastes fresh as well. Again very good service and great experience for our first meal in the city!

Today, it is windy and cloudy. We, a group of 10 people, went to Sotito's for lunch. Service is fast and pleasant. They quickly set up a big table for us. My husband and I ordered the crab meat salad, squid in own ink, a bowl of fish soup to share, and 2 bottles of coke. The warm bread and butter first came to the table. It's simple but tasty. The outside is crispy, and the inside is soft. Without any hesitation, everyone ate 2 to 3 pieces of bread. The server was so thoughtful, and he had served us the soup in an individual bowl. The crab meat salad came in a small plate, the crab meat was big pieces, and it piled up the plate. The squid dish was also very tasty. It is good to dip with the bread. Communication is not easy but all the servers tried their best to help. No wonder this restaurant is highly recommended. Don't miss this gem of Punta Arenas.

We came here because of the amazing reviews. We had the centolla, double portioned and the lamb. Both were amazing. The breast that they make is greasy and serve warm, very good. I only had a problem with the sides. We got French fries. To me they should be crispy and they were soggy. When asked if the cold make it more crispy the waiter told me that I should get the other kind, the round and crispy ones. I heard crispy and went for it. He brought me chips, yes chips. I didn’t want chips with my lamb, they didn’t even had salt or any taste for that matter. Then I saw the next table get the fries that I had sent back. I know they were mine because of the plate, I put them in a smaller plate and how they were put together, I did that. It was not bad, I just would have liked French fries that were not soggy. Place is most expensive than others around but food was good.

I love king crab so much! And the cebolla here does not disappoint. Skip the Mayo and ask for some warm butter. It was a bit pricey, but so enjoyable. Service was great too, thanks Pedro!
