"The food was delicious, we got cebiche and a roast chicken, and yucca fries. Downside was that our reservation was for 12:00 and they weren't ready to seat us until 12:10, and even then, they were continuing to clean the restaurant and didn't take our order until closer to 12:30. This was on a Sunday, so don't book noon on a Sunday if you're pressed for time."

"Waiters and service were very nice but they were totally overwhelmed on a Saturday evening. Our reservation was forgotten and we had to wait for over half an hour and our food repeatedly came cold to the table. They did invite us to a round of drinks and were very nice but they don't seem to have any organization for a full restaurant so it is quite chaotic."

"hi, i'm peruvian and though i rarely go to peruvian restaurants in the us, i was feeling nostalgic and heard of this place. i went with three other friends and ordered the lomo saltado, ceviche, anticuchos and tres leches. also, a couple of maracuyá pisco sours. i liked the food but the service was really really awful, the waiters were fighting each other, they ignored our reservation (so we waited for almost two hours- don't know why we didn't leave really..), and they were altogether just absent- never gave us a menu, etc. besides that, my only problem with the concept of the restaurant is that they have tacos (???) which is not peruvian food at all... and that the waiters don't speak spanish nor know anything about peruvian food."

"Even though we had a reservation, we wait more than 20 minutes to be seat. Furthermore, the food service was really slow, so the waitress took advantage to serve us a lot of drinks. Finally, we just realized that they charged us some drinks that we did not order/consume. Thus, review carefully your check before paying. In sum, the food and drinks were good but the service was poor."

"I love Peruvian food and drinks and this place is no exception... Their food is amazing and the cocktails so good!! Staff was very nice but didn't seem to have a clue what they were doing... The people seating next to us left because they had been waiting for their food for more than an hour... After that they totally picked things up ad brought out every plate really fast but those things just shouldn't happen... If they had set methods for everything those things would never happen... I would totally go again but I really hope they get organized...."

"Went with a friend on V-day. The food is amazing! This was actually the first time we sat inside, normally we go during warmer weather to sit out and people-watch; sitting indoors this time was equally exciting. I highly recommend the ceviche mixto....! (yummmmmm) I'm also a huge fan of their anticucho."

"I walked in and walked out. I cannot rate food but it would not let me submit a review. This is not a restaurant whet anyone will enjoy going out for dinner on a Thursday - Saturday night. Place was empty and completely bare and unexciting."
