    We were excited to finally try this place out, as it’s been on our list for a while. The staff was welcoming, and the restaurant was beautiful and inviting. We went there with our kids, and it took me a minute, but there was a giant mural of a naked woman on the wall, which I found odd for a restaurant. The service was a bit slow. There was only one or two other tables at the time. I'm not sure if they are in the middle of training, but it just felt a bit off. Everyone was kind, but overall, the service was a little lacking. The menu we saw posted here was not the menu we were given, so I would suggest you look at their site for a current menu. We found the menu to be very limited, especially if dining with kids. The food was good, and portions were good, but I just wish there were more options to choose from. The menu had a backside offering food from their sister restaurant which offers Palestinian food which also was odd to me as we went there for the great Peruvian food I had heard about. All in all food was good but we would likely not return.

    The food was delicious - all the dishes, and good servings. Even a simple Caesar salad was exciting with a somewhat spicy twist to the dressing. Dessert was remarkable. Drinks were very good. The servers and everyone who worked there were so pleasant and helpful. It's a delightful find, and parking and access is very easy.
