Blue Moon — Restaurant in Lima Metropolitan Area

About food: it was amazing our dishes Canelones and Gnocchis, and carpaccio.

About service: HORRIBLE with uppercase letters, we ordered 2 small pisco sours when we asked for the bill, the waiter told us "did you order a dessert? and no, so he gave us the bill and in the detail said "Pisco sour grande" I told the old man that we requested the small ones, and he answered "Most people here order the big one and I brought that" and leave the table and call another guy to collect the bill, this is the first time that I experience something like this in whole Peru, that the reason to tell you "check each dish that you order when you receive on your table"

About the atmosphere: It is a quiet place where you can have nice dates or family conversations and enjoy a nice food

In conclusion: The service should improve as soon as possible because you can't deny that the people ordered and think by yourself (for the waiter, it was the old man), this is the first time that I have experienced a situation like this in Perú (Cuzco, Mancora,...

That being said, the service was excellent and all the staff were very friendly and professional. But this unasked upselling is not good!

Overall, it was a solid experience, but due to these two issues, I won’t...

This is probably one of my favorite restaurants. It's too bad that it's on a different continent than me. The baskets of fresh fruits, cheeses, and wine set the tone when you enter.
