In Short
Horns honk and brakes slam outside, but a casual dinner crowd relaxes against the throw pillows tossed around the wooden banquet that lines this small, adobe-influenced eatery. Peruvian ex-pats and aficionados mix with neighboring office workers and apartment dwellers to enjoy pitchers of sangria and hand-chosen wines, while inventive entries like tiradito, (sashimi with snapper and cilantro) and seafood paella arrive at the 25 blond wood tables. Seasonal artwork from local names like Jaimee Hagaki and Donabella Baluyut adorn the cream walls.

Poor management... We had an awful experience tonight, so bad that I had to write this review. The owner of this place really ruins the ambiance that she's attempting to create. I don;t think that she's ever run a business before and does not know the meaning of customer service. The food is OK, nothing special and certainly not worth the price for the small plates they serve. Our food was luke warm and our espressos were cold. We didn;t even ask to get the espressos comped, the server offered to ask the owner to comp the drinks, The owner;s response was offensive and rude. We left with a sour taste in our mouths....I think if the owner was a bit more pleasant and smiled/ welcomed her customers, then the place might have some more customers. This place is going definitely going out of business soon, probably due to poor management..... DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY at his establishment.

Great food - fresh flavors, put me right back in the Plaza de Armas in Qusqo. The quinoa salad was delicious as was the squash soup. The dulche de leche cookies were homemade, and even better than I had in Peru! The service was great, and the ambience is very pleasant - modern and artful without being stark. Altogether a great experience, definitely worth repeating!

I was here for happy hour after work one day and was very satified with the ambiance- it seemed like a lot of people came there for drinks after work. I didn't try any of the food, or the bread that was placed in front of me. I just stuck with my drinks- which were cheap since it was happy hour. My only qualm is that our waitress took forever to come help us out. The check also took forever to come as well- maybe it was her first day, as it wasn't too crowded...
