Then the women that took us to our table yelled to the kitchen that we were the reservation that didn 't want to sitoutside . Basically called us out. Why? It was my wife 's birthday and it killed our excitement and mood.

Really can't complain about the service or food quality but the people on grill/wok station were burning a lotof oil (probably to season their equipment but that made the air smell a bit bitter.

The mixture of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine works very well, and the flavors on dishes like the lomo saltado and the steamed buns are incredible. If you can, try theirbrunch, which is even better than the regular menu!

I kind of was expecting it to be a few pieces of each type. Any way, the person and I dining tasted one pieceof each roll we ordered and left. It was *that* bad. Rice was not cooked well, salmon (to me) tasted like what I imagine dogfood would. I could tell our server wasn't interested in seeing if we liked our food, so I didn't bring it up. Very awkwardleaving. Will never go here again.

The rolls use way too much sauce and lime. Beware, rolls use a ton of nori so if you love nori and can’t get enough of it then this is the place. Otherwise, yuck. It’s way overpriced for the quality. The food flavors are clunky and not well balanced. Service is excellent.

We opted for the Hamachi Tiradito, which was decent but served in large chunks in an oversized bowl, making it appear scant. The vegetable roll was disappointing and the Japanese Golden Curry with chicken was overly salty and lukewarm. The only highlight was the spicy tuna roll. I was also surprised to see how empty the restaurant was, especially compared to the bustling crowds it used to attract. Despite this, our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items. It may have just been an off night, as other restaurants in the area seemed to be more popular among diners.

I would have given five stars but for my main course of noodles and beef were barely warm and the meat was very fatty but was very tasty.

One thing we loved before was the vibrant atmosphere, very missed this time,but it could have been better out of a dark corner. Food was all good,again,but we ordered too much as the portions are large family style. Good leftovers

We cleaned it ourselves. The service was slow. The food was okay, but nothing special and not really Peruvian. The best part is location. It was a beautiful evening and that was the best part of the experience.

Botika once had my attention, I'm feeling like the things that set it apart in the past have disappeared.

Excellent as always. We have come to Botika since they have opened, the quality of food remains excellent and the service was always great. read more Excellent as always. We have come to Botika since they have opened, the quality of food remains excellent and the service was always great.

It is a LOUD place so conversation can be a struggle. Wait staff was excellent….she helped with timing our meal so we could make another appointment. Menu is limited….not a lot of offerings, but it is a fusion place of Peruvian and Asian style dishes.

Went for my moms birthday and they were prompt at seating us. I have a gluten intolerance. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and could easily answer my questions as well as make suggestions for how to modify some dishes to be gluten free. Loved the food!!! This will be added to the top of my list of safe places to eat!

They tell you ahead of time that all dishes are served as they come up. I was thinking about sushi, but the wait was 45 minutes. Instead we each ordered an entree and shared them as they came out. They say that’s the best way to order and explain it when you sit down. The spicy eggplant noodles were one of the best things I have eaten at the Pearl.

The Bento plate was a great mix of Asian/Peruvian fusion and the Pisco Sour was spot on!! Will definitely come back! read more The Bento plate was a great mix of Asian/Peruvian fusion and the Pisco Sour was spot on!! Will definitely come back!

He talked to my hubby about the octopus and hubby did indeed order indeed did love the octopus. Very knowledgeable. Very nice. Also had pot stickers -delish . Was a solid 7-8 on a 10 scale.
