Went for a date night. The food is good and consistent as always. The restaurant was very quiet but it was a Sunday evening. Enjoyed the ceviche choices, grilled octopus and the Corvina. We would return.

Drinks were awful and definitely not as described by waitress! Few dishes were pretty good the rest were very mediocre and overpriced.

Brunch wasn’t available on Mother’s Day. That was not made clear in advance. Felt a bit rushed to order. Food was delicious so we’ll give it another chance.

Love going to Surfish even though my family doesn't live in neighborhood anymore. Service was amazing and the food was delicious. I had the duck risotto and my wife had the squid ink seafood dish. The latter is a must try if you go.

Went for lunch on a Saturday. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food came out in a timely manner and had great presentation. The ceviche sampler is a great way to try the different styles offered - I would definitely recommend it. The pineapple tuna, salmon anticuchos and mixto were all delicious and well balanced in their flavors. When we left the restaurant started to fill up with more groups. I would recommend this restaurant and return in the future!
