We were really disappointed as they had been rated in best 100 restaurants by NYT. The food was not flavorful and overpriced - particularly the mocktails, which we didn't finish because they were not even tempting. The asparagus dish was good, but the ceasar salad was uninspired, as were the fried yukka and quinoia. I just wish they hadn't said they had vegetarian options. Also, cramped and cold. The service was excellent however. Vegetarian options: meager

I have a fondness for supporting local businesses, particularly restaurants. I must say, the service at this establishment was top-notch, and the ambiance quite chic. However, I must address the disparity between the wine menu, which is extensive, and the limited options on the food menu. Main dishes were a total of 5. Given its Peruvian cuisine, I was surprised by the lack of traditional dishes. Nevertheless, 2 of the 3 dishes I ordered were quite delightful. My only reservation lies in the pricing of these dishes, which I found to be rather high.The pricing at this establishment left much to be desired. The yuca fries, a dish typically known for its humble origins as a root vegetable, were priced at a steep $16.56. Even more staggering was the cost of the mussels, a hefty $41.37. To put this into perspective, "Flex Mussel" a restaurant in a higher-rent neighborhood offers a substantially larger portion of mussels for just $28.50. Such pricing discrepancies may give potential patrons pause and merit a reevaluation of the value proposition offered by this establishment.

I have been wanting to visit for a while and worth the wait. The food was delicious, ceviche Classico and yuca fries were on point. Husband had the NY steak frites from the weekday special and he said he was delicious. I also had the mussels and forgot to take a picture but they were also delicious. Olive oil cake reminded me of ‘rabani’ a classic Mediterranean cake with the right amount of sweetness, was also a great surprise. I don’t need to say more about the wine list because is one of the best wine list in New York, Michelin Guide have said it and Star Wine List so, been there myself I can only say is utterly great. Take some time to find a gem that speak to you. For us it was a Nathan Kendall Brut a great example of Finger Lakes Sparkling Wine. Dietary restrictions: pescatarian heaven Kid-friendliness: ask foe just noodles or rice available for kids from some of the plates

I had the weeknight prix fixe meal, which was quite good. The scallop ceviche was unique and one of the best ceviches I've had. The mussels were delicious and the chocolate flan was so silky and luxurious. The cococontento cocktail was perfection. The atmosphere is quaint and lovely. The vibe and the staff are great and the music is excellent but not too loud to enjoy dinner conversation. Definitely will return.

Cool spot located in 110, wheelchair accessible bar seating. The portions were interesting kind of small, we went for restaurant week and the prefix menu had some appetizers thats shockingly small. My nappa cabbage slaw felt like a nibble. but the toasted sesame seeds tasted really good on it. The mussels was my choice for main, and it came with yuca fries(or focaccia). The fries were kind of hard and wasn’t the flaky i was hoping for. But the mussel broth was so good and paired with the fries were so good!!! I had so much broth left over i asked for focaccia too, to try to sweep up all that goodness. Had some nice drinks but i ordered a mocktail thats made with purple corn. There’s only one bathroom and it’s spacious. The kitchen is open and we can see all the work being done!
