    Excellent and outstanding service. The food is not that great, Peruvian cuisine has a lot of flavors, which were lacking in the plates we ordered, very plain food.

    We were so happy to eat here last night. We had just been to a great ceviche place in Miami Dade County and were worried that nothing could match up to it, but your restaurant did the only input I would give is the heat might’ve been on a tiny bit too high! We are definitely coming back and looking forward to your excellent food.

    food was excellent- service was great too. I wish their would have been tablecloths to make the place a little nicer, but the decor is cute (think train car dining room). it is a BYOB place, which helps keep the cost down (yay). Loved the ceviche . Recommend this place when you are in Montclair.
