Nice service but it's too pricey. The ingredients aren't all that special to warrant such prices.

Upon entering the restaurant my date and I were promptly seated. The first gentleman that sat us took our drink order. He suggested a Peruvian drink. When we asked if it had alcohol in it he suggested that we could add to it. The original drink cost $3.95. But when we got our bill the added alcohol price was $9.95. And my date's glass was only filled halfway!! Then another gentleman appeared who was our waiter and he suggested we start with an appetizer, a tamal. We agreed and were surprised at how big it was. Thankfully we shared it so it did not go to waste. We both ordered the same plate and a side of yucca. The wait time for the food it was unbearable. We waited close to 45 minutes!! There appear to be only one waiter who did not seem to care to check on us at all. When we finally got our food the side of yucca was not there. We wanted to cancel the side order but were unable to find the waiter! Also the dinner menu was different then the online menu by several dollars. We felt like we overpaid especially considering the service. The food was tasty and we took our leftovers home. But needless to say we will not be returning due to poor service and overpayment of menu prices.

One of the best ceviches I've ever had. You can taste the true Peruvian kitchen. If you are not afraid to go out of your comfort zone, to try something new, you won't be disappointed. I forgot what we had for our main dish. We asked the server to surprise us and to bring their favorite dish - they created a fish and a meat dish. For dessert we had the flan. Everything was delicious.
