    Food was creative, but not filling. Staff too quiet for the loud background chatter.

    Hands down - the best overall dining experience I have had in DC in a long time. The plates are shareable although you might not want to! From Pisco flights to expertly curated cocktails to sashimi, whole fish, and noodle dishes — everything here was beyond words. Go hungry AND Save room for dessert!!!

    Delicious from start to finish. Every dish surprised with a new and different taste and spices or preparation. Wait staff is helpful in guiding you through the menu which is somewhat confusing without some knowledge of Peruvian food. Ceviches are delicious, as were the scallops in the shell with a spicy red sauce and the chorizo sausage over rice. Don’t miss the pisco sour!
