We are here twice in one week. I fell in love with the leche de tigre. The salmon with golden berry sauce was unique and delicious. We had two different cerviche dishes that were great but I forgot to take photos that evening. The passion fruit dessert was a hit. Again, if you want your bill from the server you need to ask, they will let you sit there for a long, long time when you are finished eating and never offer the check. I think most customers also have drinks while they are there, but we were there for dental work so we were drinking only water. Overall good service other than waiting for the final bill for a long time until we realized we needed to ask specifically for it. I believe it is just a cultural difference. Fourth visit - lunch menu with amazing appetizer of ceviche with leche de tigra (I should just order large version of this every time!) for my main entree I tried the 4 hour stewed beef which was very tender and tomato sauce with rice. I wish there always a bit more flavor and more sauce in the meat. My friend has the seafood entree with fish and clams in tomato sauce. Traditional creme carmel type of dessert was good. Another lunch visit for traditional...
Read moreCustomer service was super good. The place was clean and nice. I'm giving them 2 stars because of several gastronomic details. The zucchini carpaccio was the saddest veggie carpaccio I've ever tried. No love on it, they should marinate the zucchini or add some more love and creativity into it taking in consideration the lack of veggie dishes in the menu. The meat (we ordered Entraña $65) was overprice and had no salt, quality of the meat was good but still it wasn't worth the price. The Tacu Tacu was a complex dish with lots of processes behind, I think it was a good overall dish in size and flavor. The fish needed a bit more salt and but it didn't bother me. The menu is too big, I do believe in small well executed menus, maybe if they reduce it they can improve the overall quality of the food. Kudos to their customer service which...
Read moreI had a mixed-up-feeling with this restaurant. We ordered the “day menu” with a traditional “cebiche” as a starter and a “lomo saltado” as a main dish. As for the cebiche, the presentation impressed me as there were a good portion of fish served over a fancy plate. Pitty it was a little bitter, missing traditional ingredients such as camote, and very raw flavored corn grains. My feeling is that, if you want to presume a good Peruvian, the cebiche must be flawless. Not the case here.
On the other hand, the “Lomo” was obviously not finished in a wok.
May be my mistake, as I chose the day menu over a hard menu option but anyways... not enough reason for a top restaurant as this one.
Ambiance, table attention and service is top!
Will come back again to give...
