Great atmosphere, service, cleanliness, and food. If you don't like change or trying new things this is not for you. It's not a texmex restaurant so if that's what you are looking for you will be dissatisfied. But for all others welcome. On the weekends they even have a band, great for date night, group night, etc. It feels elegant yet relaxed without being super fancy and snobby. The food not only tastes great but the presentation is wonderfully artistic. Hats off to the chef! The only reason why the food is not 100% authentic is due to the fact that we live in America and it has to appeal to a more American pallet. Not the restaurants fault, they do what they have to do to remain in business. It can be pricey for the portions but if you love and appreciate great unique food it's totally worth it. I have been here five times already just this year and I love it here!
Piqueo is a long drive for me but I go a couple times a month because it's so good. The regular menu dishes are hard to beat...I keep getting the charred carrots and the spicy ribs. Plus, they always have something new to try. The atmosphere is classy but relaxed and everyone that works there is fun and the owners make you feel like you are the greatest customer in the world. It's a good thing Piqueo is not around the corner for me or I would be a little more chubby than I already am!

Quality, authentic Peruvian fare.

We recently enjoyed a tasting as guests of Piqueo's passionate owners, and as a bonus were treated to a history of Peruvian traditional dishes and culture. Highlights for us were the different treatments of the 'lowly' potato, of which Peru boasts over 3000 varieties. Grilled beef heart was yummy and the ceviche wonderful with a sweet potato on board. Other dishes reflected the influences of Spain, Japan & China, using imported Peruvian produce. Just opened, the place was busy and had a nice vibe. It's so rare to find passionate operators in that area, this is a rare treat! We understand they will be offering a similar tasting on the regular menu soon; highly recommended in an attempt to grasp this exciting cuisine.
I love this place. Great food and atmosphere! I do wish they had the Ceviche with the old green sauce! I've never been to Peru, but the food is always fresh and tasty!
Worth a trip for some authentic food. Ceviche Definitely reminds me of Perú. Everything was spot on especially quality of the food except it was on a higher end for price. The environment was comfortable as well.
