PIRUW GRILL "Peruvian Cuisine" — Restaurant in Palmetto Bay

I discovered this place is a fancier version of El Tamo and his owned by the same group. Curious, I came by on a Friday night, so this place was pretty lively with the live music and people having a good time. I enjoyed what I ate, which was Lomo Salado and a shrimp causa, although the causa could have used less mayonnaise and served in a less “shrinkflation” type of plate. The Lomo Saltado was very good, and what I really liked is their use of red onions (the real deal) as opposed to white onions, which is often employed as a cost-saving measure and not the traditional way to prepare saltado. I also appreciate it that they separated the french fries instead of combining them, so the cooks know what they’re doing. I look forward to returning and trying their seafood dishes and ceviche. The only thing that provided for less than completely satisfactory experience was the less than observant Table service. I was sitting for almost 10 minutes before the waitress came, and I never saw her again – then I was served by another waiter. Also, I had to stand up, walk over, and ask the waitress for more water. I think it had to do with my location and the fact that I was alone, as opposed to larger parties. Nevertheless, I felt As though the table service needs improvement given my experience. I will admit the singer and festive ambience made up for Some of it, but be that as it may, I would recommend this restaurant for its unique charm, diverse assortment of foods, and it’s visible like-ability...

The place was clean and tidy, the waiters were friendly, but the high prices had nothing to do with the food they offer, the hard octopus and the squid are the same, the food is not of very good quality, Lots of advertising and little quality. I think they should improve in flavor and quality. In relation to the prices, the quality of the food is not very good, the tip is mandatory as in some places, I think it should also be the client's choice, so I think I would think about it before returning.

For you, Mr. or Mrs. owners who responded to the comments we left you.We are not confused about the restaurant, it is the same place in which we consume,Regarding octopus, tell them that it can come from wherever it comes and be prepared by the best chefs. If it is not sewn well and I repeat, prepared well, it will be rough and hard like the one we got. Same thing about the tip, I guarantee that they did charge us and we were two people.It is not the fact of giving Ono If not, it is mandatory So it is not charged after six people as you say.I think he should be more attentive, I think he is misplaced in that regard. We may also let you know that we believe that you should not take the comments as anger but as an experience and learning for the future. Because this is a site to give opinions and that serves the experience owners, not as a way of getting angry because they don't like opinions, which in the end is what these sites are for. To comment on how you felt or how they treated...

I walked inside just after 1:30. Half the restaurant was vacant at this point. After being asked for the cover count from afar, I was directed to sit in a filthy corner by a server who pointed at the booth from behind the bar. As I went to grab the table tent with the (non-scanable) QR code (kept getting error message) I was repulsed by the filthy, sticky, dirty, grime on this said table tent with the QR code supposed to be scanable for the menu. Perhaps Im being too picky, but I just decided to get up and leave. I didn't even care to look at the menu. I suspect it didn't work because of how filthy it was. Would you want to eat at a place where you are sat in a filthy corner (food all over the seat) and the the thing you're supposed to touch to scan for a menu seems like more of a potential biological hazard than simply using a physical menu? Those servers possibly take no pride in their jobs, or just pack the experience and professionalism a seasoned server should have, and that just doesn't inspire enough confidence in me to make me want to eat there. If the kitchen staff are also held to such low hygiene and cleanliness standards and work ethic, it might be dangerous to try their food, especially...
