- SSandySan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoFour of us had dinner there last night and it was fabulous. The food quality was excellent, and our waitress was very attentive and even gave us extra appetizers when we were having to wait on our friends who are running a little bit behind schedule. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anybody that likes Peruvian food and Wants a change of pace for dinner menu. I had the three ceviche tastings and their Pisco sours can’t be beat! Our guest had a beef dish, a paella dish and a seafood dish. They all loved it!More infoBarrancoPrice: Moderate• Peruvian• Lafayette•4.6
- KKimVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •51 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis was seriously one of the best meals I have ever had. We started with delicious cocktails and the calamari, which was outstanding, especially with the sauce. Hubby had the sea bass, which was delicious; a whole fish that he enjoyed taking apart and eating, as it reminded him of his childhood, growing up on the coast in South America (only have it if you don't mind the fish looking back at you as you eat it.) I had the pomegranate meatball soulvaki and I feel my life shifted a little after that meal. Wow! We finished with Greek coffee (delicious and potent) and baklava on a bed of yogurt and honey. My gosh What these chefs do with sauces is life altering! Just be sure to make a reservation as we saw so many sad groups of people walk in happy and then have to leave because they were fully booked for the night.More infoThe ParthenonPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Downtown / Union Square•4.4
