One of the best steak dinners I have ever had. The grass fed Australian ribeye was of the best quality. And it was cooked perfectly. Lightly charred with a warm pink center. The mushroom medley was exceptional. And the cocktails were unique. Colorful and delicious. At $250 for two people, it was not an everyday meal. But well worth the splurge.

Ricardo Zarate is widely considered the best Peruvian chef north of Lima, so it's no surprise that his new Nikkei ceviche house is amazing. What is surprising, however, is the reasonable price points -- especially compared to his previous joints like Rosaline -- for first-rate sourcing, execution and originality. This reminds of his early days with Mo-Chica, a throwback energy with a modern flavor combos. As for the dishes, my fave dishes were the miso cod tostada, steak on hummus / flatbread, shrimp dumpling ceviche wrapped in sesame leaf (like shiso), crispy ceviche and the salmon tiradito. Those are top tier to me, second tier maybe spicy tuna handroll, seafood risotto and crab papa relleno. Hope that helps.
