    Short ribs were delicious! The octopus was good. Pisco Sours were good but very small. I was in Peru recently and it was nice to have some of our faves. Just expensive.

    Four 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!

    Good Peruvian food. It was a bit odd to get cinnamon instead of bitters in my pisco sour. It was a bit loud. Reasonable prices. Good service.
