   Love the food, but the service is always mediocre at best and there is often a disconnect with the kitchen.

   The ambience was great as usual … tried the paella this time and it did not have as much fish as expected and the rice was a bit dry. Luckily our guests who chose other entrees really enjoyed their first visit.

   Mistura was such a fun and unique restaurant combining Peruvian food with Italian and Chinese fusion. We got the Seco de Cordero which is one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere created a light and fun vibe. There was also a Michelin star chef which handmade desserts. Couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough!

   Mistura never disappoints! We like to go early since it is a very popular restaurant and gets busy during prime dinner hours. The Pisco Sour has a surprising presentation, as does the La Flor dessert - both not to be missed! Peruvian spices are very flavorful and these chefs know how to cook and present beautiful dishes. We will be back!

   They sat us at a terrible table considering I made reservations far in advanced. Felt like we were shoved in a back hallway. Food was slow. Our small $8 side of French fries (the only thing on the menu that appealed to my 6 year old) were ordered first and took the longest, so she sat upset that everyone else had food in front of them— multiple courses and a simple side of unseasoned, overpriced fries took forever to come out. I knew in advanced there would be no kids menu, but honestly how can you mess up French fries ?! The server should have timed the dishes more appropriately

   Host initially couldn’t find our reservation. I had requested seating at a quiet table since this was to be a special occasion. We were initially seated at a tiny, noisy table amongst numerous other diners. I requested to change tables, only to be met with hesitation/confusion on his part. Once seated at a more quiet table ,our server was helpful with recommendations and explaining the various ingredients etc. to the somewhat confusing menu ie; Peruvian cuisine which we were not familiar with. The quality of the different dishes was adequate, but considering the prices overall the experience fell to what I refer to as “overly pretentious mediocrity”.

    Food and service were great but even of we booked our table 24h in advance we were seated in a small room next to the kitchen which was very noisy and didnt match at all the rest. Your website claim an Experience so you should minimum ask your customer when you call to confirm the reservation that we will be places outside of the main room…

    I made a reservation for a friend and I for dinner. I was very excited to try. Checked in for reservation, was asked if we minded outdoor seating, said we didn’t mind. We received water and a small bag of corn nuts right after we were seated by a very lovely lady. We looked at our menu, which is very large and a bit had to navigate, but thinking because of that we’d have full service and advise being it our first time in and it being a little less straight forward. We waited twenty minutes, while the table next to us who was seated close to the same time ordered and received food. I went into the host to ask for a server. He apologized, and said he would send someone out. 5 minutes later the server came, (he was waiting on the one table next to us),asked to take or drink and food order abruptly with no apology. Drinks were very mediocre, (but sounded great on paper), but very pretty to look at. My friends food was fine, not great and mine was not good at all. Very fishy ahi. Not at all worth the time.

    We were there for my wife’s birthday with another couple. It really was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. I don’t say that lightly. Such good flavors - unusual to me tapas and entrées. The paella was so amazing. That’s what we ended with. The Ahi was especially good also.

    Party of 9 for a 75th birthday celebration. Most of the food was pretty good. As is so often the case, the appetizers were largely more interesting than the mains. The cebiche mixto was excellent, as were the bolitas y palitos (the bolitas were great; the yucca fries that accompanied them were undercooked and thus too starchy). The Colorao (tempura cauliflower) was good, but with the barbecue sauce it seemed very typical American fare, and not terribly interesting. The pulpo was excellent. Bistec a lo Pobre was very nicely cooked, as was the Chuncho (short rib). The Aji de Gallina lacked flavor and textural elements that could have elevated it. The Escabeche (sea bass) was tremendous. The desserts made by the in-house pasty chef were exceptional. Theobroma and Milk Passion were two that we tried. Also can highly recommend the Maracuya Sour cocktail. Wine list is short, but reasonably curated and not overpriced, especially the Le Vigne offering. In short, the food was inconsistent. The service was, too: while a great effort was made by the staff, there was extreme clunkiness of providing paper menus "to get a sense of the menu" that were actually for lunch and somewhat out-of-date, but then being given a QR code to see the "real menu" on your phone. This led to piles of confusion with the server referring to the paper menu as if it were the real thing, but then scolding us gently if we wanted something on the paper menu that wasn't on the "real menu". I think a lot of the issues are likely due to understaffing. There's a lot to like, but some kinks need to be worked out. I would happily come back for a meal of cocktails, ceviche and other appetizers, and some of the top-notch desserts. As long as they work out the problems with the menus.

    2 of 4 dishes were very good, I recommend the mixto ceviche or the cauliflower, the other dishes were just ok.. Peruvian Chinese noodle and octopus. Sizes are not great and I hate to pay top dollar and leave hungry.

    We ate at this newer location in SLO and had a great dinner. My husband had the steak dinner and said it was wonderful. The steak was grilled perfectly and was served with homemade mashed potatoes and a wonderful gravy. I had the sea bass dinner, which was also perfectly cooked over sauteed sweet potatoes and onions. The service was very good and attentive. We will be back.

    Food was unique and excellent with desserts to die for! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely return. However I have two complaints that the restaurant really needs to correct - the first is that we had a party of 6. Five dinners were served with no explanation as to why the 6th did not arrive. We had to flag down a waitstaff member to find out what happened. Apologies were made and the meal was served within a few minutes. But let me stress how miserable it is to be the ONE person waiting for their meal. This is a major snafu. The second complaint is that there was much confusion as to the tip. We were told that 20% would automatically be added for parties of 6 or more but the check did not indicate that. The server was unclear as to whether or not the 20% would automatically be added after the fact. We were finally told that the 20% would be added even though the bill did not indicate it. If that is the case the check is very misleading. If we leave a 15% tip, do we end up being charged for a 35% tip? Clarification is needed.

    I got to take my favorite ladies (mom, sister and fiancée) to Mistura last night and we loved it. The ambiance is very welcoming and calming. The wait staff made sure to check in on us and our waiter recommended a wonderful bottle of wine. My mom has been to many Peruvian restaurants and she was very impressed and said that she would be back with my uncle when he visits. All the food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We all ordered different desserts so that we could try a little of each and they did not disappoint at all. It was loud as the restaurant was full but we noticed that we did not have to scream to hear each other. It was a pricey night but we’ll worth every cent for amazing company, service, and food. Highly recommend!
