    Overall a great first experience! Great drinks food was delicious. My only comment is that our food and drinks didn’t arrive at the same time for our group of 4 so we had to wait a little bit but otherwise excellent overall.

    Food was excellent but I found portions to be a little small considering the price! Overall still a great dinner - service was a little slow but friendly.

    The pisco sours were great. The food is tasty and the service is friendly, if a little slow at times. The wine price mark-ups are edging on being excessive.

    The food here is absolutely incredible - some of the best food I’ve had in my life. We will definitely be coming back to try everything else on the menu! The service is a tad slow- not sure if this was just an issue we had when we went or if it an ongoing problem but regardless this restaurant is still a must try!

    My partner and I went last night for his birthday. Loved the ambiance: great music, decor, servers didn't look stressed and worked as a team. Our server, Tommy was very knowledgaeble with the menu items and helped us make some selections. I don't usually like raw white fish but the rockfish ceviche was fantastic! The arroz con pato and arroz con camarones (my favourite) were scrumptious and my partner really enjoyed his soursop meringue. Our cocktails were stunning and delicious. We'll be back.

    There is no other restaurant like this in Ottawa. Every single time I go I eat like a queen. I might not fully understand what each ingredient is, but you can absolutely tell when food was prepared with passion. I taste a passion for food, for unique ingredients and for making people happy. Also, the staff is amazing. You will go, you will not regret and you will be back. Enjoy :)

    The only slight problem was the time it took for the main and esp. the dessert. It was a Thursday night and the restaurant did not expect the numbers they had (every seat full because of the good weather after lots of rain and possibly with the strike bringing more civil servants downtown for strike duty after being on home work leave) This meant fewer staff; i.e. 2 servers for about 30 tables plus bar. The food was amazing--really good flavours. The service was excellent--we had a recommended wine that was delicious.

    One of Ottawa's new gems. Fantastic food, the menu is amazing and chef Lizardo has done an excellent job bringing together traditional peruvian cuisine with Canadian ingredients. Service is outstanding, and their main concern is the customer absolute satisfaction. Totally recommend!
