    The service was amazing, the people serving were so nice and I didn’t have any trouble getting my food and didn’t have to wait long for it either. The food was amazing and had a nice touch of Latino culture. The drinks were good too especially the pisco.

    Chacra has one of the most gorgeous outdoors patio in New Haven, the perfect place to enjoy some Peruvian food and Pisco sours. Can’t wait to comeback and dine outdoors.

    This was our second visit to Chacra. Lovely dining room (and outdoor space), friendly service, delicious cocktails and OH, THE FOOD! We have sampled so many dishes in our two visits and every one of them is a winner. We will be back again.

    A welcome addition to the New Haven restaurant scene -- a varied and interesting menu - small wine list but lots of enticing Peruvian cocktails - I hope they thrive.

    Service and place are great!…unfortunately we got there for the food (the reviews were good), but the food was not good at all. We ordered two appetizers (calamari and papa huancaina) and two main dishes. The “lomo saltado” was salty and the “arroz con mariscos” (special, not in menu) was nothing alike any “arroz con mariscos” that I ate before (it was soupy and not flavorful). Maybe their forte is in making other dishes and not the ones that we ordered.

    This place is excellent-delicious fresh seafood with unique flavors. The tuna tiradito was to die for. The atmosphere is very lively, they validate parking and great attentive service. Almost everything on the menu is worth ordering, but they are especially know for their ceviches and anticuchos. They also serve great pisco sours. We liked it so much that we dined there a few times.

    We took my husband’s brother and wife to try Peruvian food for the first time, they loved the ceviche, lomo saltado and chaufa! I wanted to try the rotisserie chicken, it was good but not my favorite, but we love the place and we will keep coming back! Keep the good work up!!!

    Excellent food!! Our sever was very knowledgeable when it came to the details of the menu. She explained everything very well and even suggested some food specials after knowing our food preferences. A must visit if you are near Yale university and theater. This was the second time I tried Peruvian food and now I am a complete fan of it. The dessert was delicious!! Excellent cocktails!!

    Overall our dinner was very good. We started with Pisco Sours - our chosen flavors were passion fruit, hibiscus and prickly pear, all were good. We started with a Causa Limena de Pollo which was excellent! We also had the Peruvian Chicken Soup, very tasty and Solteriot Aequipeno also very good, just a tad too much dressing. We then moved on to the entrees., The Trio was good, Lomo Saltado was also very good and quite tasty and the Churasco a lo Pobre which was ordered medium rare but arrived well done. The rice and beans were moist and tasty and the plantain sliced in half. I made the unfortunate mistake, of requesting the steak be replaced. When the meal was returned, the steak was medium rare, tasteless and fatty where as the first one was was flavorful and no fat. The beans and rice were now dry and pasty. It seems the beans may have been mushed into the rice and were now very thick, instead of loose. They were not the good ones originally on my plate. The plantain was also older this time around and now, four chunks instead of two long slices. These two items, along with the meat, were not good. In retrospect, the well-done meat and accompaniments on the first serving were delicious and I wish I kept them. The replacement plate of food was very poor, all the way around. It makes me wonder about the consistency of food being served.

    I like the laid back and relaxing ambiance, it allows you to converse at a comfortable level. The service was prompt, attentive, with a warm smile. As for the food I did enjoy it, but I felt it was a bit short on the authentic Peruvian taste. What I mean by that is, I felt the seasoning and spices were dialed back to accommodate a more general customer Base clientele. Knowing that many would probably complain about the food being to spicy, which is what I was looking for. Overall a wonderful place to get a taste of a puru with a nice drink.

    Delicious food and drinks. Great and attentive service. The tables are little crowded together but its not too noisy. Little pricey compared to other Peruvian restaurants in the greater New Haven area. They do validate parking in the crown street garage. Definitely a must try.

    Pisco sour was delicious & authentic- portions are large, but there weren’t many choices under $30 - except in the appetizer category. There wasn’t a price on desert menu but $12 for gelato seems overpriced.

    We saw this new restaurant on Open Table and although we'd never had Peruvian food, decided to try something new and very glad we did. The food was outstanding and the Pisco drinks interesting with some subtle new flavors. We would highly recommend this new eatery.
