    The noise level is insane; you can't even talk with your guests unless you are screaming, loud music and food was not my favorite, and I know the Peruvian food and they are trying too hard, and the taste of authentic food is not there. Great service.

    Thank you for your feedback, Miguel. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the service. We appreciate your thoughts on the atmosphere and food, and we’ll take them into consideration as we continue to improve. We hope you’ll give us another try soon.

    This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I was completely unaware it was an indoor/outdoor venue. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side—rainy and cold with the temperature dropping quickly. When I asked to be moved to a more comfortable indoor seat, the staff was not accommodating at all. Despite having a reservation, I was told they couldn't move us due to *other* reservations, which made me feel as if my comfort and experience as a patron didn't matter. To make things worse, my guest and I were treated as if we were a nuisance simply for asking to be moved out of the cold. The waiter, while polite at times, repeatedly asked if we had ever had Peruvian food—despite us confirming several times that we had—and continued explaining the menu in a patronizing way. It felt condescending, as if we weren’t capable of understanding the cuisine. Throughout the meal, multiple staff members kept checking on our table, not in a thoughtful or attentive way, but more as if we were being monitored for causing trouble. The saving grace? The food was actually fantastic. The flavors were well-balanced, beautifully presented, and true to the cuisine. It’s such a shame the service and hospitality didn’t match the quality of the meal. All in all, while the food exceeded expectations, the customer service and lack of flexibility when the weather was clearly not ideal made for a disappointing experience. I left cold, uncomfortable, and unfortunately not planning to return.
    Madre SelvaResponded on April 16, 2025
    Deidre, we're genuinely sorry to hear about your experience. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand your frustration. Your comfort is important to us, and we’ll review this matter with our team to ensure we’re more accommodating in the future. We're grateful you enjoyed the food, and we hope you'll consider giving us another chance. Our Brunch is coming soon, and we’d love to welcome you back for a more pleasant experience.

    Beautiful restaurant, amazing cocktails, and delicious entrees. The chaufa, lomo saltado, and chicken are top tier. Best Peruvian food for miles.
