    Went for lunch on a Saturday. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food came out in a timely manner and had great presentation. The ceviche sampler is a great way to try the different styles offered - I would definitely recommend it. The pineapple tuna, salmon anticuchos and mixto were all delicious and well balanced in their flavors. When we left the restaurant started to fill up with more groups. I would recommend this restaurant and return in the future!

    Very good food. Very lackluster service. This was my third time recently, for brunch. The same. Menu says (for brunch): "Endless coffee." No one came around with the coffee to ask if I wanted more. Had to ask twice. They got the eggs wrong ("over easy": nope, got sunny side up). Took the sugar off our table twice: had to ask for it back. The service takes a lot awar from the experience. Don't know why the management doesn't do something about it. Its too bad..
