2nd time here
Steven C.

The place is all seafood and Peruvian cuisine. The food portion is okay and they serve to your delight.

Lomo saltado

Wow! I need this place to stay open so long my future grandchildren's grandchildren can try it , and I don't even have kids yet. This place is absolutely delicious - ingredients are fresh, complex and flavorful - comfort food at its finest. Highly recommend for that Peruvian flavor

Craving some Peruvian food and this hit the spot. Super friendly staff and very attentive. Not a big place, but cozy and clean. Our waiter was super helpful, even brought pictures to show the difference in plates. And if the kids don't like to try new things do not worry they also serve chicken fingers with French fries. My food was good, not the best I've had (I'm Peruvian) but a good effort.

Steak in Cilantro sauce

I have to admit that I was concerned about the quality of this restaurant because I was judging the plaza it was in. It's next to an adult video store and VCR repair shop, who still watches VHS? Anyhow we walked in and we were the only patrons in the restaurant ""red flag"! However when we were approached by the very friendly gentlemen and given a grand tour of Peruvian dishes complete with pictures we were very comfortable. So we ordered our food, me the steak with cilantro, the wife rice and beans. Everything was pretty awesome and flavorful. I only withhold one star because a tiny fly landed in one of my condiments, if there's one fly there's probably many more in the kitchen. Bathroom wasn't detail cleaned but the food was good enough to overcome my annoyance at these small items. So go here for great food!!!

I had a wonderful time! Vivian brought me some roasted corn with the cilantro dip. Really good and different. I ended up having the beef with onions, tomatoes, and rice. I substituted a salad to replace the fries. Kudos to them for not charging extra. It was like having Chinese stir fry but with cilantro and other spices. I ended up purchasing some roasted corn and cilantro dip to take home. I let Vivian know that I would be back.

Very personal service. Tiny place with completely authentic Peruvian feel. We started with the fried yuca. Many seafood entrees to choose from as well as a good selection of ceviches. I was surprised not to find any other reviews. They have been open about a year and a half. If you want a real Peruvian experience. This is the place. Cheers.

Our first time here was today and the food and service was excellent! The restaurant is small but clean and the staff are very friendly. We had the Leche de Tigre (spicy) and delicious-- very flavorful. My better half ordered the Jalea mixta and I ordered the Lomo Saltado. My beef was very tender and juicy-- I dipped the rice and fries in be juice. My bf poured the juice left from the Leche de tigre on the Jalea and it was amazing! The food tasted fresh, well seasoned and the presentation was good too. This is def not our last time there!

Really good food. Reminded me of when I was in Peru 12 years ago. The inca cola really topped it off for me.

The Cottage in Siesta Key, Sarasota, is definitely worth a visit!…read more The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the mussels, which came in a flavorful, buttery broth with toasted garlic bread that was perfect for dipping. The sushi was beautifully presented, loaded with flavor, and just as good as it looked! I personally would skip the sushi roll I'm from California and there wasn't any spectacular about it! The cocktails were refreshing, the presentation was on point, and the tropical atmosphere made the entire experience even better. Such a cute spot with great vibes, perfect for a night out! If you're visiting Siesta Key, I definitely recommend adding The Cottage to your list.

We booked this place via OpenTable since it received great reviews. We ended up parking next door…read moresince parking was a bit hard to navigate. The parking place had ample parking where you needed a mobile app to pay for your parking. There was a larger souvenir store there if you needed to kill time before your seating. Once it was our time for our dinner reservations, we were greeted and seated at our table. Our waitress was a bit sarcastic or had a witty comments that didn't sit well with my kids. When ordering our foods, the kids asked what type of drinks they had since it was not listed on the menu. She said Coke but didn't elaborate that they had Coke products. Since she said Coke so fast our daughter didn't hear the response and asked her the question again where she just said that's a great question and ignored her and moved on. Food wise - we had the Peruvian ceviche, Peruvian chicken, I think I had a special grouper dish. The food was good. We were able to eat everything and the kids enjoyed their kids burger meals. Outside of the waitress comments, the place placed nice modern music to listen to and had the basketballs games playing on the tv at the bar.

Great Peruvian Food and nice authentic intimate atmosphere. Portions are very large and their…read moreRotisserie Chicken and Fries was awesome with white rice and the flavorful green sauce is the bomb! The boy ordered the fried fish there was enough for 3 people with great flavor and tenderness. Daughters had the steak and egg so so good. Wife had the fried rice with chicken wow! Venessa our waitress was very attentive and beautiful to boot, great customer service. We are from out of town and have visited here for the sixth time and they have not disappointed. Looking forward to our seventh visit. Keep up the good work.

On a recent Saturday night we had planned an outing to a favorite restaurant in the same strip mall…read moreas El Patio...and when we arrived at 6:30 there was a 45 minute wait. So based on Yelp reviews, we decided to try El Patio. When we walked in, we were a little apprehensive because no other customers were seated--not a great sign. But we decided to go for it (I was hungry!) The staff was warm and welcoming. We ordered ceviche and tamales as appetizers; both excellent. We ordered the house specialty of Paella for two (seafood only). The menu warns to allow 45 minutes for the made from scratch Paella--ours took 40 min. It was delicious and more than enough for two people. By the time we left (about 8pm) the restaurant was about a 1/3 full. Perhaps the price point which is somewhat higher than neighboring restaurants is why, but I felt prices were reasonable for the excellent meal delivered. We will return soon.
