Best Peruvian Restaurants in Friendship Heights

Fantastic experience. Came for anniversary and the team at Causa was energetic and very attentive to our needs. We had incredible food with a tremendous wine pairing. The dessert was to die for particularly. Chef Carlos came and talked to us for a while and gave us trials of things he's working on and it was overall incredible. will be back.

The food was so good but the experience was disappointing. This was probably my third or fourth visit to P&N and I am never disappointed with the quality and flavors of the food! This time we were a bit disappointed with the service: -We ordered the "catedral" mistakenly thinking it was a pitcher and referred to it as a pitcher. When the drink came out we were surprised it was not a pitcher and then wondered why the server did not clarify that our order of the "pitcher of pisco, the catedral" was in fact not a pitcher but just a large glass -1 out of the 2 entrees was served when we were still half way through the apps so our two-top table was pretty packed between the two plates of appetizers, the bottle of water, the glasses of water, our cocktails and now the entree -Why not wait until the appetizers are finished to serve the entree? And why serve one entree out of the two and not serve the entrees together? -My steak was cold. The pasta was warm but my steak was straight up cold -Server eventually was a bit MIA. No water refills. No offer for a dessert menu. We had to waive our server down multiple times to either ask for something, to order something else or to have plates cleared from the table. The most frustrating aspect of the visit had to do with OpenTable rewards. P&N is listed as a restaurant that accepts OpenTable rewards. The reservation was actually even made through the OpenTable reward page and the redeemed reward can only be used at the restaurant where the reservation is made. It was then disappointing to hear that P&N would not be accepting my reward. I tried to have a conversation with the manager but she refused to honor the reward and ultimately said "theres nothing else I can do." I had to really push for the restaurant to provide a gesture for the reward issue. I will say that despite the disappointing service every one was extremely nice and professional. I just wish the experience had gone better and matched the excellence of the food.

We had a wonderful time. The food was fantastic: fresh, delicious and unique. Service was top notch and it was a fun environment. Cocktails were tasty. Price-wise it’s expensive but worth it! I especially enjoyed the chazuta dessert, and my significant other particularly enjoyed the skewers (really great flavor).

Kat was an incredible, attentive server! We had such an awesome time and the food was delicious. Great spot!

Delicious food and good service. Had a good time.
