"HEISEN-BAR" — Restaurant in Valparaíso

GOT SCAMMED BADLY

(Context) My family and I were visiting the docks we were approached by someone who appeared to be genuine, they showed us a decent looking menu with a different restaurant name and told us that because it was Monday all the restaurants were closed except for his. Next they lead us down a very unsafe looking street to their rundown little establishment. When we walked through the door we were greeted by some pretty dodgy looking people sitting on a sofa at the entrance.

Once me and my family were seated at our table, we noticed immediately that the table was extremely sticky (felt like it hadn’t been cleaned properly in weeks) so that wasn’t ideal but we ordered some starters regardless. When the empanadas arrived my brother noticed that there were multiple strands of hair cooked into the food, then for the rest of my family they brought some musty looking soups that were clearly sketchy from first look, but after 30 seconds of being on the table the bowls literally cracked and leaked the entire soup all over the table. Please avoid this blatant tourist trap I fell for 👍. (The food was also overpriced and service...

We fell for a tourist trap here. At the harbour we met a man advertising an authentic two course meal and pisco sour at a restaurant nearby for 5,000 pesos. In reality we had to walk a few hundred metres down a main road, and the food was very basic Ceviche, the world's smallest Pisco Sour (it was about 30mL) and not very good main dish. They tried to convince us to purchase mains for a full price and perhaps they are better, but any place that decieves it's customers like this deserves...

Primero que todo destacaría la amabilidad de las personas que atienden al público. Me agarraron en el puerto ofreciendo vista al mar y a la esmeralda a menor precio que "el local de papá a la deriva" y por supuesto que el carisma del tipo y las opciones ofrecidas me convencieron. Lo malo es que solo tiene vista a las grúas.

Pedí dos menú, uno con pollo y otro con "bife", comillas porque parecía chuleta seca. Lo demás estaba rico, la comida es aceptable, el precio quizás un poco alto para lo que es.

La decoración es hermosa, digna de la mejor serie de todos los tiempos. Y digno de eso a la salida pagando un viejo me gritonea autoritariamente como si fuera el Tuco Salamanca. No se si será parte del local porque la señora que estaba junto a él cuando le comentó que estaba pagando por transferencia (no se puede con tarjeta), se calmó, así que creería que es el dueño o el administrador, en claro estado de ebriedad. Una incomodidad enorme. Podré ser mucho más joven que él, pero eso no le da derecho a gritarme como si fuera un esclavo. Búscate una vida viejo ql.

Por eso y lo anterior y a pesar del empeño del personal y la decoración,...
