   Great food and ambience. Danielle was an amazing waitress who served us with complete white glove service. She was very attentive and accommodating to all of our requests!

   We waited 15 minutes to get seated for our 6:30 reservation. Unfortunately our seats were in a separate space from the main dining room in a room with a glass wall so crowded that both customers and staff had to take turns entering and exiting. Even worse our table was dead center of the entrance to the room and our table was physically bumped multiple times. The service felt performative and over the top with what we were told would be our “Peruvian Experience”. The food was good but not great and definitely not worth coming back for. I have a feeling that once the shine of the newness wears off the restaurant will be far less popular. I will not recommend the restaurant to friends.

   It was a pouring day out , we beat the traffic and arrive 15 min later than our reservation, we called ahead and was accommodated. Parking -not many street parking, parking structure below the restaurant with self park or valet- great, except parking kiosk is not exactly user friendly to interface with. After we entered lobby, check-in, host led us to table, gave me beverage menu upside down, he apologized, however, i would preferred apologize then correct the issue. Ambience is great, except high ceiling created a lot of unwanted noise and acoustic, which for diners become harder to hear the server. Our table was in center of lounge seats area, maybe measure/adjust each diner would have comfortable seating space instead being crowded. After I sat down, I quickly requested to sit on a different side away from main walkway high traffic behind my back. one of the table slab was not leveled so whenever my husband have a serving plate it self-turns like a ouija board. Our server was great,friendly, to lead us on a food tour except I think be better to know diners palate before suggesting dishes. At one point, I felt we were rushed because server asked me feedback of the plate while I was enjoying my food and mouth chewing my food. food experience can't be rush if you want to turn table. Also due to bad acoustic , we could hardly hear when dish was curated when it's served. Food wise, flavor is great, thoughtful, ingredient fresh, fair quantity, presentation is good. Try to avoid generalize ingredients but be explicit on flavors and technique will be more impressive. We announced our dining experience was for anniversary, our server only acknowledged later on comp dessert and champagne for our special occasion toward the end of meal, i think this should be announce and greet to us as soon we sat down. Price of dishes were reasonable, has good potential food wise. As we left, I went to restroom ran out of tp, so routine checkup during busy service hours needed.
