    The waiter, Alejandro was very attentive. He gave us enough space to talk but was very knowledgeable about the menu and dishes. We questioned his recommendations until the food arrived and realized he suggested perfectly and kept us from ordering something that wouldn’t have been as good. The grilled octopus was nice and tender and the traditional Peruvian Ceviche was different but is my new favorite. As fans of Peruvian food, the pisco sour was spot on. Definitely a great date night dining experience.

    Food was not good. Nothing from the Valentine’s Day menu was upto the standards we were expecting, specifically for the price. Oysters were horrible. Salmon rolls where bland, tirado was just ok, filet mignon was overcooked and tiny and the sides didnt go that well with the steak. Pure was runny. The Valentine’s day cocktail tasted like cough syrup. The lucuma cheesecake was dry and wasn’t creamy. Cheap bottle of champagne. Wont come back.
