The food as always is amazing and the service was great. The wait staff took the time to make sure she got my mum’s order right (mum is a bit deaf) even though they were busy for Mother’s Day.

Great food. Lots of special. The outside table was very pleasant on the hot summer evening. It would have been better if there weren’t smokers in the near vicinity. The music was a bit too loud inside to have a conversation but very pleasant when sitting outside.

Went to get lunch here with a friend I haven’t seen in a long time. Staff were super attentive and friendly. They came to check up on us but they didn’t feel pushy. The restaurant wasn’t super filled up that day but we weren’t ushered to leave like other places would. Coffee was amazing and the sweets were divine. Recommend to try their milk cake 😊

The service was good. The food was Good however not how I remember it from my childhood days. The only downside for me was the music found it too loud probably didn't help I already had a headache before arrival and found it very hard to talk to others. Otherwise, would still recommend Neruda's for the experience.

We loved that Neruda's is exactly as such places are in Chile, and with very authentic food. Fun decor and atmosphere. Beautiful mural of Sth American girl in the mountains scene by locally based Colombian artist. Very nice live music (on a Fri evening).
