Decent place to grab a bite to eat. Cute cozy atmosphere and friendly wait staff. Pricing is reasonable. They have many options when it comes to the menu. The drink menu is cute and has a wide variety. Due to covid a reservation would be a goodidea. They have reasonable seat spacing in the restaurant. There is no outdoor dining available.

This is a really lovely restaurant with plenty of happy customers both inside and outside. The waitstaff was very attentive, polite, and charming. The menu offered a full range of traditional Peruvian dishes. All I craved was some excellent ceviche, and it did not disappoint—the flavors were spot on, and the accompaniments were excellent as well. The lomo saltado was flavorful and tender. The portion sizes were just right, not overly large. My only slight disappointment was the pisco sour, which felt a bit lacking for the price. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience.

It's a place I've always wanted to visit, and each time I go, I find it to be fantastic. They offer a wide variety of dishes to try on every visit. In just one month, I've been there more than three times, and I always make sure to sample something new. Believe it or not, I've loved everything I've tried!

I had a fantastic evening at this restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and vibrant, with enjoyable music that was at a perfect volume. I ordered a delicious passion fruit mojito mocktail, which was great for my dry January. For dinner, I had the Lomo Saltado, and it was amazing. I highly recommend this place, whether you’re out with friends or dining alone!
