The food was actually quite good--we ordered ceviche, shrimp, and several other dishes, and…read moreeverything was fresh and tasty. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing due to confusion around happy hour pricing. We visited around 1 PM and specifically confirmed with staff that certain drinks and our ceviche would be charged at happy hour prices. However, when the bill arrived, we were charged full price. After we questioned it, we were told happy hour pricing required sitting at the bar, even though the menu only mentions that restriction for the 4-6 PM time period. After discussing it twice, they adjusted the bill, which we appreciated. Still, the situation felt misleading and could have been avoided with clearer communication and more transparent pricing.

The ceiling over the bar featured artfully placed corn husks. They had two mocktail options. I had the chicha morada. It was sweet, but light. To start, we had the maitake ceviche. The mushrooms were perfectly firm and complemented nicely by the corn and carrots. The sauce was savory and tangy. Delicious enough to drink! They don't have any vegetarian entrees so I opted for the gnocchi with a side of the brussel sprouts sans bacon. The gnocchi had a rich cheese and melted in your mouth. The brussel sprouts were nicely roasted with a slightly sweet glaze. Two people joined our table late and they let us move to a larger one without issue. Portion sizes were small, especially given the price point, but otherwise, it was great for a splurge.

It's a tiny, blink and you miss it type of spot with a handful of tables and a small bar inside. We were greeted and offered to sit at the bar since we were just going to have drinks (we had just ate at another restaurant). The bartender was very friendly and conversational during our visit. At the recommendation of a local patron, we opted for the happy hour margaritas, tamarind and blackberry. They were both really refreshing, with the tamarind being a bit sweeter than the blackberry. The food smelled delicious, so it was kind of a bummer that we had already had dinner elsewhere. It's definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood and worth checking out.

We stopped by for a quick sit-down dinner on a Monday evening. While the space wasn't big or busy,…read moreservice was quick. We ordered the Roasted Half Chicken ($18.72) and Lomo Saltado ($31.20). The chicken was good and filling, though some of the white meat was a bit bland. When I added the hot sauces and paired it with the Mexican rice and beans, it was perfect though. I'm not usually a rice or beans person, but this combination made the meal better. The lomo saltado is a classic Peruvian dish with tender steak, onions, and tomatoes. Usually I see this dish paired with fries, but they opted for chunks of potato instead next to a bed of rice. Overall, it was a delicious meal that was satisfying and fulfilling. Note that they offer cash and card prices.

We made a reservation for 6:15 pm to take advantage of their happy hour and when we arrived, there was only two other people at the bar. However, by around 7:30 pm the restaurant was pretty full so it may still be best to make a reservation. We opted to do their happy hour special, which is a ceviche + main for $50. They also have half off all bottles of wine during HH, and our waiter helped us select a nice bottle of white to pair with the food. For the ceviche we got the catch of the day and tuna. Between the two, I preferred the tuna although I will note the portions on both were pretty small. I'm assuming that the portion is the same as if you ordered it ala carte, but if I had paid the full price for it I would have been disappointed in the size. For mains, we got the chicken ala brasa and arroz con mariscos. Both of these were really solid-- cooked well, and the portion felt significant. Of the two, I think it really depends on what you're craving for which one I would recommend. The chicken was definitely more hefty/juicy but the arroz was very flavorful. We also opted to get a slice of the key lime pie for dessert, which was really good! The meringue was torched and it was very zesty and not too sweet. The servers were all really nice and they also do inkind, so combining that with HH can really get you a nice discount. I think without the HH pricing I would have thought the food was good, but more of a special occasion than a regular spot to visit. So do yourself a favor and come to try the HH menu.
