About
The ceviche is what people rave about here — one diner rates it above Peru — and the burger has its own devotees (ask for it azul, extra rare). The setting reaches for upscale, with a wine wall and a lit walkway leading in off the main track. Diners are split on whether every dish matches the prices, which run high, so order to the strengths.

Best ceviche! 100% recommend. Atmosphere was good, the vibe is there. We also took the filet mignon which was average, portions are perfect.
I certainly liked the ambiance from the moment I walked in. It tries to be upscale, it has hints of that with a wall of wine bottles behind condensation-laden glass, but in reality it's a pretty casual restaurant. The menu is varied with everything from seafood to steak and much more in between. We had a very nice server, friendly without giving us too much disruptive attention. Food presentation was nicely done, definitely on the upscale side, but the taste wasn't. The steak was juicy but not well seasoned. Ceviche was good, but the seabass was overly salted. Considering the dinner cost as much as it does in the New York region, this was an unexpected disappointment.
Best hamburger I had in my life. Ask for azul (extra rare). Ceviche was better than in Peru.
