We hit Astrid & Gaston. There were one or two impressive dishes on the tasting menu, but overall we left unimpressed. I really got the impression that the kitchin was taming some of the bolder Peruvian flavors and spices in order to cater to what I found to be a rather restrained Chilean pallet.
I would add Tierra Noble to this list. We really enjoyed our meal here. My memory could be unfairly weight to the positive because of one amazing dish though. The Wild Boar ribs. Best pork I have ever had. Very simple grill preparation, but the meat was more flavorful then any pork I have had in the U.S.
