I was really looking forward to a great experience, sadly that did not occur: Menu was set, was unaware when I booked and this was disappointing No wine by the glass, only option was a 5 glass pairing or full bottle of wine Rude hostess, acted very much like it was inconvenient to provide any level of service. As an example, at the end of the meal I asked if she could call a cab, she responded(after a very pregnant pause) that she supposed she could but after the bill was paid, very odd and offensive comment Tension and bickering between the chef and hostess 2 of the 5 courses were very disappointing, the salmon and dessert. Salmon was just okay, panko was like mush. Dessert had an off putting texture and taste

We got to the restaurant only to be told there had been a power outage till 4pm so some of the items were not available. I told the waitress we should have been called (that is why we leave a phone number) as it was my birthday and I should have been given the option to change reservation. The chef came out and told us he would try to do something as we don't eat shellfish so the only appetizer available was the ceviche which was very tasty but more chopped coriander would have made it outstanding. The chef didnt offer anything else and didn't come back to explain. The main course - filet mignon, which was tough but wonderful flavor, came with home cut fries (delicious) but I found the quantity of potatoes to meat was a bit overwhelming . The sauce was wonderful. The other main course we had was beef cheeks which were very tender but again a small portion for the money. The quinoa was delicious. As I love ceviche I would return but because the mains were expensive it would have to be for a special occasion.

The preset degustation menu at $29 for a 3 course meal was outstanding. Ceviche was awesome. Will go back for sure.

Excellent Peruvian food....ceviche was so fresh. Very appealing plate presentations. Bowls and dishes were so colourful. Delicious main course and fantastic Quinoa pudding...a first for me. Arrived alone due to one person canceling and was promptly seated at an excellent table...this during a very busy promotion, Montreal a table. Appreciated the thoughtfulness and excellent service.

Everything we ate was out of the ordinary. The combination of spices,sauces and the ceviche technique to "cook" the food made the experience wonderful. I hope they will get more clients as we were only two couples in the restaurant on a Wednesday evening. Highly recommend the restaurant.
