    This was our first visit to Lima. I had requested an outdoor table but the hostess warned us of the "bugs" due to the warm evening. We gladly took her suggestion for an indoor table. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. The food was very good! We had calamari with yucas to start, which was fresh and crisp, served with sarsa criolla and dipping sauce . My wife had Seafood Lima, which was delicious (Grouper with shrimp, mussels, squid in a light tomato sauce with jasmine rice. I ordered the Grilled Octopus with potatoes and a very flavorful sauce. We look forward to returning to try the Ceviche and other interesting looking dishes.

    Made reservations on Valentine's Day for late afternoon since they were booked. At any rate, we had drinks at the bar first and the cocktails were delicious. We had Molto Mojitos and a Aperol Spritz Martini which the bartender didn't know how to make the martini. I told her the ingredients and it was outstanding. The Drink tasted better than the one I had at another restaurant. We ordered the Lasagna, Dover Sole and Tagliatelle with Lobster which were all delicious. Had the Affogato for desert and that was also plentiful and delicious. Will definitely go back. Service was superb.
