La Marchena or Max Delicias for lunch.
Great food and ambiance? Thats was what she requested. No, Noooooo.... Max Delicios? Come on, I ordered TWO TACOS and they stuffed them with cabbage not lettuce. And you know..."no es mi culpa" so I threw them off the patio onto whoever was below. Maybe the feral dogs can eat that.

La Marchena is nice inside but you have to watch what you order because they tend to "tweak"(for the worse) what are staples in other family style US restaurants, like the Caesar salad.

The real innovative places are in Los Jardines on Texas and those tiny roundabout streets.

Minas!

By far the best new option in Santiago. Barely 9 months old since it opened their doors, but very exquisite!

Marisco Centro? Yea that is a nice place for a dinner date as is Tablon. The ambiance in Marisco Centro is nice too. I havent been there is maybe 3 years.
Tablon in maybe 4 or 5 years. And the whatever they used to call Tatas. There are alot of "new" places but I dont know if they are any good but they are usually chock full of posers for the dinner crowd on the weekend.

About half a year ago we had a meeting point in Gurabo, Santiago. This place is closed.

I found a new, very pleasant place on av. Luperon in Plaza Gurabo.

It is a Spanish bar restaurant (very good food too ): EL MESON DE LA TAPA, next to Helado Bon, a little further north than Panaderia La Campagna on the left if you come from Hache.

Perhaps a good idea to have a drink there together?
