                                                              Both meat main courses were dry especially the duck and were both lukewarm.both ceviches were overly marinated and all the other elements masked the taste of the fish. Very expensive for what we got, and didn’t come close to authentic Peruvian cuisine.

Wife's main was grilled half chicken without a lot of flavour, a big pile of lambs lettuce with no dressing and some mayonnaise. Mine wasn't much better, lamb was nice but a lot of fried kale which wasn't overly pleasant. Staff were friendly and the restaurant was nice. But overall disappointing and felt quite expensive for what we received
