Jennifer WangJune 9, 2013great quality food (ordered cow's heart appetizer, mixed seafood ceviche, and duck) & good service (complimentary samples of ceviches wrapped in a wonton-like skin and fried)!
La CanelaApril 18, 2012Give it a try. Inca Kola & Chicha Morada are two typical Peruvian drinks. If you don't like them you can always try a tropical juice, such as Mango Juice, Pineapple juice or the Passion Fruit Juice.- Are 2 people or more? Get the fried calamary, the palta, and the "anticuchos" and then share a wonderful lamb shank as a main course. Finish it with one of their delicious desserts!!! ;)
This place is seriously absolutely AMAZING. Try their ceviche, yuccas con huancaina, calamarcitos, lomo saltado...and for desert the lucuma mousse and quinoa creme brûlée...perfection!- La CanelaApril 18, 2012Did you know? We have a smaller plate of Ceviche. Try the Mini Ceviche version if you don't think you can with the regular one.

Loyal-T SaavedraMay 24, 2013There's no real host gotta wait a little to be seated, other than that the food is amazing and pricey
Ari SchulerApril 30, 2014Make a reservation- 30-45 minute waits on weeknights and Sunday. Good is delicious but the service slow.- Tatum VayavanandaMarch 9, 2010Great place to go and grab some wine and share amazing appetizers. Had the Mariscos and it was great; Just like a paella, but not.
- Get the "Tres Leches" dessert... Looks great, tastes better!
Gris DaullJune 30, 2011Worst service ever. Good food, but it took over 15 minutes just to get someone to bring us water.
