   My dining companion and I have been to this restaurant before, shortly after they opened. We had a much more gratifying experience at that time as compared with this recent visit. We both had a sense that something was off in the restaurant, almost as soon as we entered the space. The interior, as before, is very sleek and handsomely decorated. We were seated at almost the same table as in our previous visit. The menus and the complimentary glasses of water arrived promptly. However, the waitstaff seemed puzzlingly distracted and preoccupied, considering there were no more than 3 tables seated at the time. Our beverage order, a glass of wine and a beer, seemed to take an inordinate amount of time to arrive. Of the two appetizer dishes that we ordered, one failed to materialize before the first of two entrée orders arrived. This created an awkward situation with food in front of one diner while the other diner faced a blank space on the table It took a few minutes and some visible arm gestures to catch the attention of the waitstaff, just to inquire about the status of the other entrée. The other entrée arrived after 5 minutes along with the second appetizer, but we were no longer interested in it since the entrées were already delivered. Unfortunately, this was also long enough for the first entrée to get cold. The first entrée was a churrasco steak over pasta with pesto and a side of potatoes. This dish is not unique to this establishment, as it is offered in many Peruvian restaurants. The steak was prepared correctly. However, the pesto didn't have much of the flavor or fragrance of basil, as one might expect of a traditional pesto. The second entrée was grilled salmon and a root vegetable puree. This dish was disappointing as the salmon was overcooked, and the puree was very liquid and difficult to eat. We did not bother with dessert or coffee. To the restaurant manager's credit, he apologized for the evening's culinary and service errors.

   First time there but won’t be our last. Everything was excellent - the drinks, appetizers and the main courses. We all loved what we ordered. Definitely a go to place in the future.

   Naori was a phenomenal experience. I went for my birthday and words cannot express how great everything was. I was with some picky eaters and not only did they find something they like but also they loved the food. They shower you with love for your birthday. The drinks were delicious and the food was outstanding. I can’t wait to go back.

   Sushis are incredible. Fresh and tasty these Peruvians ones would certainly be one of the best you’ve never had. It worth the price.

   I celebrated my birthday here and I loved it! It was also my second time visiting this restaurant. Great food but the service does need some improvement. I will be returning to this gem!

   Great overall dining experience! The food was excellent, from the appetizers to the desserts. The drinks were also well prepared. Very interesting, fresh, and with new ideas to blend Japanese and Peruvian cuisine. I would recommend and will certainly be returning.

   The food was okay but not wow. The sake was $20 for a hot sake when the bottles were less than that.

    The food was excellent, but the servers need better trained. Felt ignored at times and could not get a second drink. Also, in south Florida servers need to be bilingual. Our server did not understand a request for more water. There was even a table of two people that were seated and left due to no one coming over to give them menus or take a drink order. I think one of the servers was also the bar tender. Having sons in the hospitality industry, that is a stupid way to save money.
