Close to perfect… a group of us were able to get a nice table, last minute, at Kantu after friends recommended it. The clean decor pulls off a modern and welcoming feel, but it was the attentive staff, great food and drinks that left us feeling like we need to go back. We shared empanadas and tostones, then enjoyed quality ceviche or fish soup - all yummy. A few rounds of pisco sours and sangria brought the tab to $90pp but without alcohol prices are reasonable for the fresh, high quality seafood we enjoyed. Recommend
