    The change in location to the Playground was of surprise. The menu has been limited and the quality of food was not great for the price. Disappointed to say the least. Service was great. If you want bar food this is a great place to meet.

    Unexpected pleasure in Tucson. Unique Peruvian menu and excellent food. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. 4 of us shared 3 apps and 3 entrees which was plenty of food. Chileans sea bass was awesome. Lamb shank and paella also tasty. They also have an extensive Pisco drink llist and South American wines. My first time for a pisco mojito. Expensive for Tucson so be prepared. I highly recommend .

    Exceptional dinner experience! We enjoy seafood and started with the oyster appetizer which was delicious. It was wonderful to try all three different oyster options. The halibut and cioppino were fantastic! Dessert was so creative and deliciously amazing. Excellent service by our server Marley. We can’t wait to go back!
