Vibrant Peruvian spot with standout ceviches, saltados, and pesto pastas; service can be uneven and prices sit on the higher side for the cozy setting.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels warm and bustling, a compact spot where staff greet birthday tables and bread lands with a punchy house sauce. One guest said the service felt "genuinely caring" while another praised the "fresh, bright ceviche." However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggesting certain reviews may be solicited or influenced. In the kitchen, the cooking leans Peruvian with a modern, seafood-forward edge—think vibrant ceviches, tiraditos with ponzu, and herb-packed pesto fettuccine topped with filet mignon or lamb. Flavors skew bold and zesty rather than precious, ideal for diners who enjoy creative spins alongside classics like lomo saltado. Families will find it workable: pastas, fries, rice, and mild saltados suit younger palates, though there is no kids menu. If your crew is picky, steer toward pesto pasta or chicken saltado and skip the spicier ceviches; sidewalk seating is casual and better off-peak for comfort.
