Second thing, the food was amazing, but there is a long wait which is totally fine, it is worthy but they must inform us that the wait will be lo no which they did not, this way we can kinda prepare and not be upset maybe get some extra apps. Overall the food is definitely what saves the place and you can bring your own wine which is great. They do not serve alcoholic beverages.

My husband and I came to Mr. Esquisito for a Friday night date around 7:00 p.m. We didn't need a…read morereservation, which was nice. The restaurant is small, seating only about 25-30 people, creating an intimate atmosphere. However, the lighting is so dim that I had to take a second look just to read the menu. I'll start with the positive: our waiter was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. My only criticism was that he couldn't really recommend a standout dish when we asked what the restaurant was known for. For appetizers, I ordered the octopus. Unfortunately, it was inconsistent. Half was perfectly tender, while the other half was so tough it was difficult to chew. It was served over an ajillo sauce that was good, but not enough to save the dish. My husband ordered empanadas. The steak filling was much better than the chicken. He asked if he could order one steak, one shrimp, and one chicken, but was told they don't allow mixing flavors. For my entrée, I ordered the ribeye with white rice and beans and added a lobster tail with butter sauce. The ribeye itself was cooked well, but the sides were disappointing. The beans had a strange flavor, and the rice was mushy and completely lacked seasoning. The lobster tail was fine, but nothing special. The ribeye was $58, and adding the lobster tail brought the plate to $72. At that price point, I expected an exceptional meal, not one where the sides were the weakest part of the plate. My husband ordered the skirt steak with peppers, French fries, and maduros. His steak was good, but we both agreed the side options felt like an odd combination. The menu could definitely use some more thoughtful pairings. We boxed up our leftovers, but unfortunately the food didn't even reheat well the next day. Our bill came to $233 for two people. On top of that, gratuity was automatically added, and there was a $10 fee for paying with a debit card. That was an unpleasant surprise and made an already expensive meal feel even more overpriced. For over $200, I expect to leave saying, "I can't wait to come back." Instead, I left feeling like I had paid Manhattan prices for a very average meal. Unfortunately, this wasn't the experience we were hoping for, and I don't think we'll be back. FYI: everything says M/P on it for Market Price. Which means they can charge you what they see fit which gives me an inconsistent vibe.

We ended up chatting away even after we dined. Staff was very polite reminding us they needed the spot and was also kind enough to give us a some time even before the reminder. Would definitely recommend this place!

Went to Libélula for the first time today, as I'm very picky with the Peruvian places I try (I was…read moreborn and raised in Perú, so I just have a very set palate for Peruvian food). My friend and I asked if they sell pan con chicharrón, and though they don't have it on the menu, the chef (Brian) said he'd make it for us! First impression of the service ... amazing. We got the pan con chicharrón and I truly almost cried! I have not had one as delicious as this one in Jersey! The pork was tender, yet nicely fried, and there was not as much fat on it which is always hard as the fat gives it the flavor but too much can be overpowering. After talking to the chef, he mentioned that it is no longer on the menu because people didn't really order it ... so here I am, asking you all to go in and order it, so it can hopefully go back on the menu and everyone can try authentic and delicious Peruvian breakfast!! HUGE shoutout to Brian for creating something that brought both me and my friend a true sense of home

This is a wonderful find! We love Peruvian food (and we just traveled to Peru this past January),…read moreand we thought this was great. Most area Peruvians are very humble places, but this is the probably the most elegant, upscale one we've been to. The food was really good: we ordered the ceviche norteño, the lomo saltado, and the grilled skirt steak with sides (including maduros, chaufa, and yucca), and the pollo a la brasa. For drinks we had pisco sours and old fashioneds with chicha. Everything was carefully prepared. The ceviche was delicious, the steak perfectly cooked. The potatoes in the lomo saltado were wedges rather than the traditional French fries, and the pieces of beef were big and juicy and cooked medium rare (to our order) and overall much better than what we usually get in lomo saltado. There were also good sauces to accompany everything. And our waitress was so attentive and friendly! The interior is nicely decorated and includes several slightly whimsical illustrations of ancient Incas. There were a number of big screen TVs playing which might be annoying to some, but this was during the World Cup. Not sure if they're always on.

This place is pretty mid at best for me. I came for lunch because I saw their Instagram…read moreadvertisements for $12 lunch specials so I was like let me try this local spot. Oh I was so wrong. To start they charge automatic gratuity which is fine but tell the guest that tip is included, instead it seems like they hope you don't see it and double tip. Kinda shady. Then they charge you 3% for using a credit card. I hate any business that does this. This is a business expense for you not me. If you don't like the extra fees as a business then become a cash business only. Problem solved. Anyway I came for lunch and food was either too salty, dry and smokey like the Pollo a La Brasa which by the way was the worst I've her had in my life or just bland like the aji chicken with no real in between it just felt like nothing was cooked with love. Just food thrown on a plate to me. Plus why is there no lunch menu printed? If you didn't know about the lunch special I don't think the waiters would bring it up to you either as an option. Service was ok nothing memorable about it either. Yet they managed to give me the wrong potato for my to go order( I did order to go for family but should have waited to eat the food first while dining in) and not the causa I wanted even though they literally type in my order as I give it and then they charge an automatic gratuity too for a to go order is crazy. Restaurant is a little too bright and those lights need to be dimmer to create a better atmosphere and maybe clean up the scratches on the walls. Drinks look pretty good but didn't try any. I think come here for the drinks but not the food. Nothing special about anything I tried. But hey maybe I came with a bad cook working that day on a Friday. Anyway try it for yourself if you want but I probably won't be coming here again. I felt like I wasted my $50 here and I hate wasting money.

An $11.50 tip was already included on my $93 bill, yet the itemized receipt showing that charge was wrapped around my credit card, while the signature copy with only the total was placed on top. That presentation feels intentional and misleading. Most people would sign without double-checking the tucked receipt and could easily tip twice. If gratuity is being added, even for a party of one, say it clearly. Transparency matters. Great food doesn't excuse shady billing practices.
