This was our second visit. The menu, while now different, looked promising. The food was ok at best. We were brought an incorrect dish, and the food lacked authenticity (speaking as an Ecuadorian). The cocktails were overpriced, and while the servER was nice, the servICE was slow, incorrect (wrong orders) and inattentive. We were charged for things we didn't order, and then an automatic gratuity of 20% was added to a party of 3 without any indication (sign or menu). We won't be returning, and I don't anticipate this restaurant staying in business.

Wow, what a great find. One of our top tens in Cbus! Lovely atmosphere with Latino music playing making things upbeat. Outside patio not so much as it faces a street, so we went inside. Service outstanding. Everyone was so nice, informative, and so appreciative we were there. No sad faces as you see on many servers these days. Oh, the food was even better. Octopus appetizer, amazing. And the the Treo Ceviche, 3 fish, 3 different marinades. We could not decide which was best as they all were!!!! The Chicken dish we got, a little over cooked but overcome with an amazing tasty sauce. We will be back, hopefully soon.

I will start with the positive. The location is nice, good atmosphere. The mojito I got was good, but the Peruvian food was 3 of 10. I know Peruvian food very well, the ceviche was ok and the presentation was nice BUT it was missing boiled orange sweet potato which provide a good combination of taste to the dish. The Lomo Saltado was also ok, the flavor was for some reason more concentrated in the potatoes other than in the meat, the rice that goes with it was terrible, worst than those instant rice bags, sorry they need to work in how to cook Peruvian rice and for some reason they served it separated ...weird, it is not Japanese food. The Papa a la Huancaina, the potatoes were good but the sauce was poor on flavor. The Aji de Gallina was so disappointing, the potatoes were not completely cooked and the sauce was missing flavor as well, Peruvian food uses different seasonings to get a rich flavor, I couldn't eat the whole thing, I was asked if I wanted a box to take it home, my answer was "No, thanks" and the waiter didn't even bother to ask if there was something wrong with it. Oh well, never again.
The menu on their website is very different than at the restaurant. When we asked about it, they acknowledged it changed, but didn't indicate why it wasn't changed on their website. Disappointing, and we left without ordering because we weren't interested in the new menu.

I enjoyed the Grilled Octopus and another appetizer. Our waiter was friendly and attentive but not intruding. The only concern is charging extra if you use a credit card. It looks like you're being nickled & dimed. Please find another way to recoup that expense. Otherwise I had a very good time and meal.

It was our first time going and it was a great experience. The service was slow and the waiter kept apologizing for the delay but it was worth the wait. The food OMG was full of flavor and was good. My only complaint was the noise level of the live singer. He sung in his native language which I very much enjoyed but the music was so load we couldn't carry on a conversation without scream. They should turn the volume down the music. It was bad that my Apple Watch kept going off and saying noise level dang dangerously high. Also my reservations was made for my birthday and they didn't do a birthday acknowledgment.

Restaurant is beautiful! Very clean and well designed. The waiter was friendly but we had a few issues. The drinks were high priced but very good! … surf and turf is not what it says they give you a lower quality steak with shrimp on top. We order the cream brûlée had to return horrible texture got a apple cake to go and didn’t get the ice cream so when we asked for the ice cream they gave it to us in freaking sauce container! Really? For a $12 dessert? Uhg. For a $175 bill it was worth half of that. And for all the complaints we had you couldn’t give us a regular scoop of ice cream? Just saying

What a hidden gem! I've been wanting to try this place for a while. I went with my friends on a Thursday and the margaritas were discounted, a definite bonus! The food was very good. I like that the menu is small, everything looked so good,it was already hard to decide. We shared bites of food, and all was delicious! The prices were also reasonable and comparable. It's so great to have a nicer restaurant in Gahanna. I highly recommend this place.

First time dining here and it did not disappoint. Their Happy Hour specials are fantastic! Four of us dined here and each of us enjoyed a pineapple margarita and commented on how fresh it tasted - no sugary store bought syrup. The food was really good. I ordered the shrimp burrito bowl and it was delicious - could have been a touch warmer, but still very good. The restaurant has a fantastic ambiance and the service was great. Two drinks and dinner with tip $56 - not sure what everyone is complaining about with the value. It’s difficult to go to any restaurant and order wine/cocktails and stay under $50. The quality and quantity of the food is perfect! Someone in the restaurant was celebrating a birthday and they played the birthday song throughout the restaurant. We all thought that was such a nice touch. Will definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: They offer Gluten Free options.
Bar is beautiful, dining area is nice though nothing special. Wine list iOS lacking; needs a better selection. Food was very; however, pricey for what you get. Scallops were small on the grilled scallop entree. The chicken was fantastic! Service was average. Service fee is charged for credit cards - 3%. We did not know this until paying the bill. Would not go out of my way to go again.
I have lived in Gahanna for over 25 years. This is now my favorite restaurant ever to come to Gahanna. The food is beautifully presented, it is delicious, the atmosphere is elegant and beautiful, the music is not loud, the service is top notch...very polite, caring, and attentive...while leaving you alone to enjoy your meal and company. It feels like a real get-a-way. Absolutely wonderful!
Perfect evening! Was a perfect spot to enjoy someone's company. Now let's talk food. Amazing! The grilled Octopus was perfect!! No really it was perfect. The texture is so perfect, it allows you to enjoy all the flavor combinations! You could cut the scallops with a fork and again the flavor explodes. We went for the apple butter cake. So rich and delicious!!

First time dining on June 11, 2023. Atmosphere was very elegant. Hostess was very welcoming. We had a late afternoon dinner on a Sunday which was pretty slow (only 1 or 2 other tables besides ours).Carlos was our server. He made great recommendations and provided good service.We started with the Baked Beef Empanada appetizer. It actually contained small cuts of steak and was tasty. The marinara sauce they listed on the menu was actually a Pico de Gallo which was a good accompaniment.For Entrees we had:1. Churrascco Ecuatoriano which came with a nice thinly tenderize steak and had a very nice seared flavor along with plantains, egg, potatoes and avocado. Everyone in our party enjoyed this dish.2. I had the Seco de Pollo which was highly recommended by our server Carlos. He said it is a favorite dish from his home country. It was a perfectly cooked chicken breast with Ecuadorian spices along with carrots, potatoes, rice and avocado. The dish was exactly what I had hoped for. It had an authentic, homemade flavor and blended well with the vegetables.We all left very full and satisfied.I read a few reviews complaining about the high menu prices. Our dinner for our party of four with drinks came to $177 before tip. But compared to many fine dining restaurants in the city this actually is a little bit lower in price. My only concern was the "convenience fee" on the bill which was explained to me was for charging with a credit card was a little out of line as not many people carry hundreds of dollars in cash on them for dinner these days so I'd say if you're trying to compete with fine dining restaurants then drop this tacky charge. Perhaps consider a small increase in overall prices to cover the 2-4% credit card fees instead. You certainly don't want to sour a pleasant dining experience at the very end having to explain this to all your credit card customers.We are happy to have dined there tonight and will happily return again. Thank you.
