I had a wonderful dinner here with delicious food. Everything we ate was prepared carefully and thoughtfully and was absolutely delicious. The margs were fine. The service was very attentive and helpful. The restaurant is tiny but charming. I have a nut allergy and the staff were pretty good about it, but definitely double check things as there are nuts in some of the sauces and on a lot of menu items.

Ceviche was amazing! The rest of the food was great, too! The Staff were pretty friendly and I found a really nice message in the bathroom, instead of mirror, they had a message saying: you look great, don’t worry!😄 I didn’t have my cellphone with me to take a picture, I’ll do that next time! The tables in the outdoor seating area were super close to each other, but this turned out to be a wonderful experience and I found a new friend, so thank you Celeste for that! I give it 4 star because of the drink! I did not like the drink and it didn’t pair well with the seafood. I later learned they have some spicy drink options (not on the menu)! I definitely will be back and will try one of those next time!

Great cozy atmosphere, authentic Peruvian flavors, delicious cocktails. Ordered the tuna ceviche, lomo saltado, and mutton stew. Plus martini and pisco. The lomo saltado was so juicy and fragrant. Only downside is the portions are smaller than other Peruvian restaurants I’ve tried. But hey there is a premium since this is a fancy date night joint 😉

Amazing, unassuming Peruvian restaurant, once voted Restaurant of the Year on Eater. For appetizers, of course, you have to have one of the ceviche selections. We got the Ceviche Mixed Seafood (blue cod, shrimp, and squid), which is topped with some sweet potato and other bites to add texture. They are very generous with their ceviche! We also got the Yuquitas Rellenas de Verduras (fried yucca with spinach, mushroom, and pepper filling), a very nice small dish. I had had yucca fries before, which I might prefer, but this was really good to try as well. For main dishes, we got the Scallops Con Pasta A La Huancaina (seared scallops with squid ink fettuccine and huancaina), an incredible pasta dish, rich with garlic, butter and herby goodness. The second item was the Carapulcra (Incan stew with potato, chicken, pork, peanuts and Porto). A hearty stew and rice dish, great for balancing out the earlier pasta dish. And finally, for dessert, a Dulce de Leche. I did not really expect much out of a caramel dessert, but it was fantastic! It is almost like a tiramisu, with hints of burnt and salted caramel flavours, topped with a mix of berries. Great customer service, you won’t be disappointed!

We came to this place following a recommendation at SE and it exceeded all expectations. We ordered a Causa with tuna and in it was so delicious, then a ceviche of shrimps with mango a maracuya, and finally the aji de gallina, which was fantastic . Everything was so delicious. The ambiance is great, as well as the service. Súper recomendado
