Sabor Peru — Restaurant in Caldwell

Went there on a Friday, and I'll be really honest restraunt looked okay like a bit vintage. I'll tell you something right from the start the lady who tried sitting us was a bit rude in the begging and very rude at the end. As we purchased a groupon, for a group of 4 we were recommended plates that exceeded the prices they were in the description on groupon. It was a whole friend fish with Halea for about $35. Which the fish was extremely small and not even flavorful. We had also Churasco with White Rite and the Churasco it tasted like they poured a pound of salt. Everything wasn't great, we had to take most of the food home not to put it to waste. This place is not have real Authenic Peruvian food. In my opinion have higher prices then this explained on groupon and overall the prices were to high for plates of food that were Authenic as in frozen fish and calamari. Something that disappointed me greatly was the fee that was never spoken about for brining in a Cake of $3 per person. Well in the restrauranf we meet some very friendly people who offered to take pictures of us with the cake so we offered them some cake in return. They were very excited to taste Dominican cake. So we offered all 4 cake, and we got charged $21 for cutting a cake. A cake we brought. If there thought was not to have hidden fees they would have told us in the beggining and we would have never cut it. Since our groupon brought 2 deserts. Long story short, we express ourselves to the lady who came to us and she didn't care she was in it for the money. She said she wouldn't let anyone else know about the hidden prices she would just imagine them knowing since they are a restaurant. So my experience at this restaurant is don't waste your money and time, the food here is not great and the service lacks. There's plenty of other Peruvian restaurants with better food and services. Our groupon was for $62 for a good deal of $121. Our bill was $196. With a $25 dollar tip for horrible service. Don't go, please there are better restaurant. Finally didn't like how the owners looked at us as we shared the cake with the other table. I think they just wanted extra money for dessert. HORRIBLEEEE...

This restaurant truly stands out with its commitment to using fresh, high-grade quality ingredients. Having traveled all over the world and tasted Peruvian food in many places, I can confidently say this is the best dining experience I’ve ever had. The flavors are authentic and vibrant, elevating each dish to something extraordinary.

One of the unique touches I love is that you can bring your own wine, which adds a personal feel to the dining experience. The meticulous attention to detail here is remarkable—for example, the causa is double plated, with a bed of ice between the plates to keep it perfectly chilled. The food is cooked to absolute perfection, from the precise preparation to the perfect cook time. The textures are diverse and delightful—whether it’s the tender, juicy meats, the perfectly balanced sauce that transcends the flavors, or the perfect crunch of the French fries in the saltado. Every bite offers a harmonious balance of flavors and textures. Paired with the high-quality ingredients, this level of care takes the experience to another level.

The location is incredibly trendy, with beautiful artwork that complements the atmosphere. Each dining room has its own unique vibe, making the experience feel refreshing and special no matter where you sit. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming, adding to the overall charm of the place.

If you’re looking for the ultimate Peruvian dining...

I've been debating on whether or not to leave this review, but ultimately decided it was the best thing to do for other people.

I've been here a few times and frankly, the food is really good! I have no issue with their food. However, certain members of the staff are super sketchy and it makes me really uncomfortable.

To expand, one time I went here with my family, and my wife was on her phone at the table. The entire dinner, my wife did not leave the table once. After a waitress took our order, she looks at me and says she cannot find her cellphone. We looked all over the table, the room, and I even went back to the car a few blocks away and looked. She told me she certainly had it in the restaurant and she never misplaces items. So after coming back from the car, I had suspected one of the waitresses took the phone, and I went right to the back of the restaurant to confront the staff. Conveniently, the manager found the phone under a notebook in the back of the restaurant away from where all the guests sit.

I wholeheartedly believe a waitress tried to pull a fast one and steal my wife's phone. I took the phone back, and the look on the waitresses face was beyond guilty. I decided not to take this any further because I just wanted to get on with the night and never come back. I am ashamed that people...
