This was my first time eating here. The restaurant is very open and spacious, especially considering it's located in the middle of NYC. Most mid-level restaurants in Manhattan are nowhere near this large. My friend and I both wondered/remarked that...they must be paying a small fortune for the rent, and that in order to make a profit they will need to have a constant flow of customers, especially since this is not a chain or 'fast food' restaurant with a constant turnover of clients. We had to wonder how long this place might last...and if they over-estimated how successful they might eventually be. The space itself, and the decor, are quite nice. We particularly liked the more 'private', round tables towards the back, and which have some truly beautiful hanging 'rope sculptures' of sorts, surrounding the tables. As for the food itself, we chose (from the Brunch menu) a Fish & Chips sandwich, and a scallop ceviche dish. The fish & chips sandwich came on a brioche bun, with some type of a melted cheese topping, along with pickles and red onion. It was just OK. There was a lot of 'bun', such that it overpowered the fish, and the cheese didn't exactly complement the fish. It was all a bit 'too much'. It also came with 'truffle fries', which were also just 'OK'....nothing spectacular. My friend said her scallop ceviche was good.... Overall, I feel that this place is more focused on decor and ambiance, and creating a vibe of 'desirability' (for mainly tourists ..or else people more likely to fall victim to 'trendy' new restaurants)...and that this place succeeds much less so, on the actual food - especially as compared to the decor.

The food was fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor — every bite was a celebration of Peruvian cuisine. The service was equally impressive; the staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcomed. The ceviche was the star of the show, but honestly, everything we ordered was delicious. The ambiance was energetic yet relaxed, perfect for both a night out or a casual lunch. Can’t wait to come back soon — highly recommended!

The service was friendly and there wasn’t anything negative from the service staff. It was however slow to clear the table, serve drinks and check in on refills for water. The common spaces felt a little neglected and the bathrooms needed to be updated. The food was delicious and front of house was really fun and welcoming. Would consider returning.

Food was solid. Brand new resto and decor is great. We had 3-4 diff servers after each one rotated out, which was a bit odd in 2 hour dinner time frame. Only complaint was the food took very long to come out.

Hey Marco, thanks for your feedback! We're glad you liked our decor and the food. We'll keep an eye on those wait times. Looking forward to having you back at Mission Ceviche Union Square!

Overall very, very good. Kevin the Head Bartender was excellent. Table service was good too but more follow up needed for drink refills. I will definitely come back. Ceviche with octupus was the winner.

Hey James, thanks for the awesome feedback! We're glad to know Kevin impressed you and that the octopus ceviche stole the show. We appreciate your notes on the drink service. See you again soon! Mission Ceviche Union Square Team
