    Excellent meal. Everything about this place was elegant. The service was top notch and the food was delicious. The pisco sour was a rarity but a perfectly balanced cocktail for the night. The Barranquino Tenderloin is a must try.

    Panko was incredible! We tried two ceviches, the squid ink causa, the lomo saltado and the barranquino sirloin and it was all very delicious! Our server was sweet, attentive and knowledgeable! Great dinner experience!

    Everything was fine. Food was fine. Service was fine. Value was a bit inflated but expected in this neighborhood. Food was ok. Ambiance was lovely. All good enough…just not delightful or worth a second visit.

    We LOVED this meal! Big foodies and being new to Charlotte, it has been hard to find quality restaurants with incredible food AND a nice vibe. This offered both. Maria took care of us and she was fabulous. I asked her to make me two speciality cocktails of her choice, not on the menu, and both were wonderful! I took a look at the menu online prior to arriving which was great because there were photos of each item which made it much easier to decide on our final selections once we arrived. The dishes were gorgeous, including the plating, bowls chosen, and the presentation. The flavors were so good including all of their home made sauces, dips, and oils to accompany each dish. We ordered the nigiri flight as was the mango teriyaki tuna to start. Both were SO good. The fish was incredibly fresh which is hard to find! The Peruvian fried rice with beef tenderloin and surf n turf roll were our entrees and they were SO yummy. Seriously, amazing all around and we really enjoyed our conversation with Maria at the bar. We will 100% be back!
