Editorial Review

Mix of Peruvian expats, hipsters, and date-night couples is as eclectic as the menu of steaks and South American classics. Familial vibe prevails, beginning with complimentary bowls of cancha:  roasted, salted corn kernels that you will be eating compulsively. Ceviche of course, also shrimp soup, rotisserie chicken, spaghetti, and skirt or shell steaks. Minimal dining room can get crowded, grab a Pisco Sour while you wait. In warm weather, action's in the tropical backyard, with its thatched umbrellas and chill fountain.
