    Great food and service. However towards the end (around 8.30pm the music started blaring. Not sure why restaurants think it is cool to have night-club levels of music - stick to providing good food and ambience and let people actually hear themselves talk.

    We went to this restaurant recommended by a friend un and loved it. Quality food at reasonable prices, spectacular ceviche, tuna uramaki would fall apart in the mouth, we also ordered a tiratidos which is typical Peruvian dish that was amazing. Every time we ordered a dish you wanted to repeat, everything super elaborate and with quality raw material. The manager who was the one who super friendly and Pro, is a great business. We will repeat without a doubt, it is the best thing in Central London.
