Delicious, authentic Peruvian food! Our server was friendly, personable and very attentive. She had good recommendations and explanations of dishes. I went went for the classic Aji de Gallina, with chicken. It has a creamy yellow sauce with chicken & some bell peppers, etc. It came with rice. I felt the need for a salad so I requested a side salad, which wasn't listed on the menu. They were happy to accommodate. My husband enjoyed their 1/4 chicken (breast) which came with fries and a side salad, and included a spicy sauce and the yellow one like was on mine. The prices were reasonable and ambiance pleasant and relaxing. We would definitely come back next time we go to Sun Valley.
No need to get too crazy here. Stick with the Peruvian bread and butter meals and you will be beyond satisfied. Lomo Saltado and Mixed Ceviche are must haves. We plan to hit this spot for many years to come while visiting each winter. The restaurant seating is very open, but maintains a low-lit and intimate feeling at each booth. An ideal day in Sun Valley consists of the following: Corduroy all day on Greyhawk, a nice dinner at Serva, and some quality hot tub time watching the SnowCats doing what they do best.
The food was so delicious and the portions were very generous and great presentation, too. We enjoyed all the dishes!
A nice courtyard to dine outside, a Nasca line depiction on the interior, overall, it's nice and intimate. Having been to Peru and frequented many a Peruvian restaurant in Los Angeles and New York I had high hopes on the food, especially after seeing Peruvian patron after Peruvian patron come in for lunch and noticing all the employees were also Peruvian. A bit pretentious in the presentation, high prices for a typical Peruvian restaurant, but the food was quite delicious and could hold its own with some of the better places in the big cities. Leche del Tigre was well balanced, but not as spicy as we would have liked. The plantain chips were nice, but needed salt. The Lomo Saltado was delicious, especially with the aji. We wished there was more sauce, but the rice was a fail...undercooked and underseasoned. The beef cut was better than the typical and very tender. The lamb chops were succulent, deliciously seasoned and ample in quantity. The papa's huacainas were equally as good. Portions are generous, flavor profiles are on point, and the service was attentive. We will be back.
Service was friendly and quick. We sat outside during some nice weather. Food was ok. Kind of bland and just meh. Enjoyed the yucca fries. Had the fried rice dish with chicken. Standard fried rice. Nothing special. They used the same sauce for many of their dishes. Same sauce as we used for our fries.
Sooo happy to see a Peruvian restaurant in Ketchum. Real Peruvian. Delicious food, friendly attentive service and welcoming atmosphere. I love causas and there's was fabulous (I had mine with shrimp in it). Great ceviches too. Beautiful presentation on the dishes we had. Highly recommend!
Holy smokes. The food was fantastic. Excellent service. Warm owners. What we ordered - Lemonade Fettuccine a la Hauncaina con Lomo Saltado - Beautifully creamy and savory. Arroz Chaufa with Extra Veggies - Basic fried rice. We would order it all again!
We loved the flavors of Serva. Not being sure what to order, we went with a variety and couldn't stop eating because everything was so delicious. However, we had leftovers and then ate them for breakfast and lunch the next day. We've been to a number of Peruvian restaurants (including in Peru) and this is amongst the best! We sat inside, but outside seemed to have a better ambiance (though will be better once Main St construction is completed, I'm sure!).
I'm sitting here at the table writing this. Now, I admit, we were part of an absolutely enormous group - probably 30+ people. That said, hearing what the server just told my fiancée is BEYOND unacceptable. She was asking about something on the menu, and literally told my fiancée she couldn't have an item prepared the way it is actually described on the menu. "If there weren't so many people I could be more accommodating" No special adjustments at all. Just not serving it the way it's written. Unbelievable. The first time she came over to take our order, she literally started talking and walked away and we didn't see her again for 10+ minutes. There is ABSOLUTELY no excuse for the level of rudeness experienced here, I don't care if it's a group of 300. If you can't accommodate, don't take the reservation. This might well be the best meal I've ever eaten in my life, but this is still a solid 1* review. If I wasn't part of this group, I'd walk out. I'm disgusted. Update: not the best meal ever. From my fiancée: "I'm paying a lot for this, so I'm eating it. If I made it at home, I wouldn't." (Basically she had 2 appetizers, which were effectively veggie rolls and "dry steak fries" - the veggie rolls were the better of the two but neither very good). I had the fettuccini and it was fairly good.
This seems to be a local's spot for sure. Majority of the employees and guests were Spanish speaking, and that's always a good sign of a Peruvian restaurant! We stopped in for a quick snack, and ordered the Ceviche Mixto and the Yuquitas Fritas. I also ordered their Sour drink. Everything was delicious, and we felt satisfied and healthy afterwards. I would love to come back and enjoy their entrees another time. The ambiance felt like a warm, local ethnic restaurant with tons of families having a great time.
Our group came here on impulse, and I wish we had more time in Ketchum so we could eat here again! It smelled delicious as soon as we walked in and you could quickly identify where the yummy smells were coming from--the big case of rotisserie chickens cooking within view of the entrance! We tried the chicken rolls to start--simple and tasty. Then on to the quarter chicken (dark meat for me) which tasted as good as it smelled. The dining space is brightly decorated, and the service was friendly. I don't know when I'll be back in Ketchum, so I hope others will visit here on my behalf!
We were here for a weekend of snowboarding and decided to try Serva! It was seriously so good! My boyfriend wouldn't stop talking about it and he's a really good cook!
Best food in Sun Valley hands down. If you never been at this place you are missing the most delicious food, prepared and served the same as you are in fined dining. Only regret is we haven't found it the first day of our stay!!!
We are in Sun Valley for the weekend and I had the night to myself so I decided to try out this Peruvian spot in town. I ordered the Leche de Tigre and 1/4 Rotisserie chicken plate. Leche de Tigre is my favorite style of ceviche. I liked the little bits of mahi mahi in the juice. This Serva's version is topped with a breaded pawn and few pieces of red pepper, giving it a bit more of a kick. The rotisserie chicken was very tender and juicy. I don't know if it's the Idaho potato but those fries were amazing! They were crispy on the outside but soft and tasted very fresh on the inside. The restaurant staff were very nice and gave me a complimentary lemonade-like drink. It was very interesting. It was topped with a layer of egg white and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It almost tasted like a non-alcoholic pisco sour. I will definitely be back to try their other dishes next time we are in the area. read more
Well, I recommend it for people who aren't vegetarian. We went to Peru a few years ago and any chance we get to have Peruvian food, we try it out. It's a lovely place with great curb appeal and nice inside as well. My son was stoked with his kids meal of a gigantic portion of hot dog bites, fries, and a salad. It was enough for two 10-12 yo kids. It did say it came with housemade Mayo and he loves Mayo... but didn't come with any. When asked, he got Kraft. My husband had a chicken entree he said tasted like Thai food and enjoyed it. May daughter and I shared the Peruvian house salad and it was sizable and good for $14 but came with a creamy dressing and not a "housemade vinaigrette" like the menu said (and the main reason I ordered it). Sadly no vegetarian meals on the menu because they use chicken stock in all menu items that are vegetarian (like pesto pasta). We left and had to get a burrito down the street once the rest of our family was done. It would benefit them to make a single entree (other than a salad) that is vegetarian or vegan friendly. read more

We had a long day of skiing on a weekend, and most of the places in town were fully booked. We were looking for a place to eat and luckily was able to walk in on a busy night. The food hit the spot, on a cold night. It was very flavorful and the service was quick too. The food hit the spot, we both got the Lomo Soltado, one in pasta and the other as a main. Would definitely come back here again read more
So let me tell you, if your looking for a nice filling, fast, and fresh salad you must go here. Not only was the staff really nice, but my girl Karola was super attentive, knew her menu, and new exactly what to recommend after asking me a few questions. I will definitely be visiting More often. The atmosphere was so welcoming and clean. Since the weather was really nice I sat on the patio and enjoyed my food with a nice view of the mountains. Everything on my plate was top notch fresh and delicious. So go and try a Peruvian salad but don't forget to ask for KK. read more

Lovely, family run, authentic Peruvian restaurant with delicious, fresh food. They have a large, outdoor patio area in downtown Ketchum. We were surprised to find Peruvian food in Idaho and it did not disappoint. Service was prompt and kind, and the food and wine were scrumptious! Had a causa - beautifully presented! (A layered dish of potatoes, avocado, shrimp, and veggies), and an appetizer of potatoes in cream sauce. Also tried their roasted chicken- very moist and cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend and will return when back in town. read more

We went to Serva the other night and LOVED it! Really good Peruvian (or any Peruvian tbh) is hard to find in the states. My husband lived in Peru for a few years and I have spent a considerable amount of time down there as well. We love Peruvian food and this was my favorite Peruvian I've ever had in the US. I ordered the Lomo Saltado and my husband ordered the Serva Causa (a mix of causa and ceviche). Everything was cooked to perfection and had the perfect amount of flavor. Our meals came out quickly and our server was kind and attentive. When Rico's closed we were really sad as we loved their Italian. As much as we loved Rico's, Serva is a great addition to Ketchum and we will visit each time we come to Sun Valley. If you have not had Peruvian I would 10/10 suggest this place for a first experience!You will not be disappointed. read more

Excellent addition to Ketchum's restaurant selection and especially the limited outdoor dining options. I've traveled to Peru, and this food is an excellent representation. Had the Quinoa salad with the lemon glaze dressing, the salad was very good and the dressing was outstanding. Then, Lomo Saltado, basically a beef Asian inspired stir fry (sort of a go to for me at Peruvian places) this one is excellent and a nice portion size. Service was, quick, attentive and friendly. Highly recommended. Will absolutely return this summer. read more
