    Went for Valentine's Day dinner. Food was pretty good, but it was a pre fixe menu and they didn't let us know until a day or two before the reservation when it was too late to get a res anywhere else. The menu didn't really feature Peruvian food, and was also $130 per person when we were expecting to spend like $75 each. Still enjoyable overall, and I'd like to try their regular menu at some point, but the last minute pre fixe thing was kinda annoying.

    Food quality was great. Cocktails were delightful. The service was good, but could’ve been better as in being friendlier. The noise level was acceptable with lots of people bustling around. Overall, a very good experience.

    This place is all about the food. Ignore the menu, it's just there to provide familiar options. Talk to your server. They'll find something for you that will delight. The decor is standard diner decor, it isn't the point. The seating looks like something from the 1950s, but again, the seating isn't the point. The food is the point, and the food is delightful.
