The service was excellent, our server and the food runners were very attentive and very pleasant. The portions are plentiful, so we shared, amongst 3 of us, the Scallop Tartare as an appetizer. I did not find it as good as previous times; this time it was a bit fishy/oily. It comes with avocado and toasted bread pieces, which have a sprinkling of olive oil, and herbs. Entrees: Canelones with Aji de Gallina, excellent and different from the regular Aji de Gallina which comes with rice. Also had the fish VSOP, slightly crispy fish rolls serve with a mustard cognac sauce and the sword fish. The sword comes with sautéed vegetables, I would recommend mash potatoes or another accompaniment. Desserts: The Suspiro Lima and the Brownie with Lucuma Mousse. The latter is an excellent combination of the chocolate and the lucuma. Drank a nice Susana Balbi Signature Blend.
