We ordered ceviche for appetizer in 3 different sauces. Wonderful! main entree were a lobster with risotto and the corvina in cognac. Amazing tastes! We had no room for dessert but will come back to try some other time. Our waitress was very professional and knew the details of each dish. She also recommended an albarino that was really nice with our meals. Glad that we selected this restaurant, as we were celebrating my wife birthday and she was very happy :-)

The food is amazing. Our waitress Guadalupe was extremely professional, attentive and friendly. We had a friend along who had never tried Peruvian cuisine, and Guadalupe beautifully explained each dish we ordered. The restaurant inside is very elegant. Tha cocktails were wonderful as well.

For appetizers we had the ceviche, which was easily the best we've had anywhere and the Tiradito Francesco was delicious. We highly recommend you visit this restaurant!
