    We loved our entrees! Delicious! The ceviche appetizer was also great. Music was a little loud when we first sat down but thankfully the server accommodated when we asked that the volume be adjusted a little. Will definitely go back. I may be craving the seafood "stew" entree soon! Prices may have been a little high, but probably comparable to other local restaurants.

    Service needs alot of work. Communication was a big issue. Aside from the tuna ceviche, nothing worth mentioning.

    We came here for date night. It was a busy night so we sat at the bar to wait for our table. The host checked in, ensuring that we were well taken care of while they made room to accommodate us. We loved this place, the food was delicious, the environment well kept and stylish, and the service was prompt and pleasant. There is a Peruvian brandy called pisco there. A strong but sweet alcohol. Def recommend - both the brandy and the restaurant as a whole. Will return asap.

    A nice quiet place off the the beaten track. Good drinks menu, and a nice selection of dishes, a bit different than what you usually find. Plenty of meat, pescatarian, vegetarian and vegan options. Service was considerate and prompt without being annoying/cloying. More like in Europe. A good choice for a regular meal out. I hope to come back more often.

    Love this place! Great food, good service, probably a little cheaper than other Peruvian places that are chain restaurants in high profile or higher foot traffic locations, so less noise here and you can actually have a conversation with your dinner mate(s).

    The flavors of the food were authentic all around and reflects the "cooked with love" from the chef owner who added his twists and variations making each dish unique and delicious. The fish dishes were nice and light with the perfect texture. Unfortunately the beef and lamb meats were a little chewy and needs some finesse when it comes to getting it perfect. Chicken was good. Our server was fantastic. Her recommendations on the dishes and quantity were spot on. The staff were very attentive, and gave us the perfect balance of space while being attentive. I would definitely go back and hopefully next time try a few more ceviches and fish dishes.
