Great appetizers? The shrimp and the empanadas were delicious! Love the flank steak also. Have tried most of the entrees and they were all good. We will be back.

The food was not as great as I remembered. The empanadas were mediocre. I do not like the upstairs room. It has a much less fun vibe than downstairs.

This was a return visit to Longitud315. We came expecting a great date night out. Our experience was something different. We ordered drinks and appetizers and just as we got our appetizers, our entrees came out. They took them back to the kitchen to “stay warm”. We then ordered a bottle of wine but the server brought a glass and then explained they were out of the bottle. By the time the wine was sorted out they brought our meal. It was cold by then. My wife had hers taken back and warmed up. The server then started stopping by to turn the table. We ended up getting the check and she disappeared for 20 minutes before we could pay the bill. Very disappointing, and expensive evening. They charge a 5% surcharge for using your credit card (first time I have experienced that in a restaurant). We will not be going back.

My wife and I had a lovely visit to the rooftop at Longitud315, enjoying music wafting through the air from "Nashwood" festival next door. Our meal was fantastic as always. We started with the crisp and tasty empanadas, followed by perfectly grilled Mussels Flameados. My wife then had her favorite, the flame grilled Pork Scho with Brazilian Mojo. But the highlight of my meal was the luscious Chupil Dd Camarones (shrimp sauteed in garlic with Amarillo Aji. I literally wiped the bowl with the accompanying flatbread. The shrimp is so craveable, I could have just kept on going had there been more (and there was a nice portion). One of the best single dishes of food I have had anywhere. (but you need to love garlic!). I had the pleasure of being able to share my feelings direclty to chef Tony Castillo, who seemed genuinely touched by how much I loved it. Another favorite of mine has been Moro A La Sau Paulooo (skirt steak stuff with wild mushroooms and onions, served with rice with beans and sausage. It is such a wonderful dish also, and a bit more filling than the shrimp. So I have to gauge my choices at this fantasic restuarant by how hungry I really am. But what a wondeful dilemma....so many outstanding choices. PLUS delicious home made plantain chips with chimichurri sauce. Wow! Always consistently special

It was a perfect night for Longitud315 on the rooftop. The weather was perfect. The food was great. The service, by Jose, was excellent. The rooftop is the way to go!

Fantastic find! If you are a fan of Woodfired food you have to try this place. Mussels were perfectly cooked. Pork chop was the bomb. Flame kissed sweet plantains are to die for. Best skirt steak I have ever had! Excellent choice of Argentinian wines by the glass. Jose was fantastic as well. Very attentive to our needs!

We have been here several times. The food is always great. I hope business picks up a bit because it was pretty quiet for a Thursday night. Give it a try because it’s really a great place
