The ambiance is great. We sat outside and enjoyed the Spanish guitar player. He was fabulous. We both ordered seafood dishes that I felt were reasonable priced and delicious. The food came out on time. The staff seemed overwhelmed, but at the same time, they got it done. We will definitely go back. It’s a great spot.

The owner of this restaurant has a great vision of what Peru food should be and we always enjoy our dinner. He owns another restaurant in Fort Lauderdale called chimney house, which is also excellent. Fairly priced nice portions in a great atmosphere.

Had a great evening. Every interaction with the staff here was so friendly and our server Joey was fantastic. We had mojitos which we loved for how refreshing they were. Ordered a few appetizers, where the octopus was our favorite, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their main dish. All in all I highly recommend this place and will be back.
