San Francisco’s New Restaurant Openings

"Altamirano, a Peruvian restaurant in NoPa, is the latest restaurant from the Piqueo’s team. It seems like they’re going for Big Night Out energy with colorful pisco sours, sashimi served with smoked cilantro oil under a glass cloche, a made-for-social-media pulpo anticuchero, and more exposed wood than a Home Depot lumber department.

Wow, we loved the food flavors, especially their sauces! There isn’t one dish sauce that we didn’t like. The whole fish was delicious but a little dry (probably as we scooped up all the sauce!) so we asked for more and they brought a big bowl - so generous and very accommodating, thank you. What a fun place with great vibes!

Amazing food! We got the salmon ceviche, Dungeness crab causa, beet salad, corn ribs, lamb shank, and lucuma tiramisu. Everything was delicious, bursting with flavor. The only thing I probably wouldn’t order again was the crab thing - the purple potatoes extruded tableside was cool but there wasn’t enough texture differential between the crab and the potatoes - both were mushy and wet.

An UNBELIEVABLE food experience! Reasonable prices, large portions, delicious food. Eduardo was an amazing server too! Included receipt with food items/names/prices too. The sashimi was amazing and the pesto pasta was maybe best in the city.

This place is popping! We had a large group reservation and had the special brunch menu at the patio! The reservation was seamless and they really took great care of us. The food was amazing and the portions were big. We got to take the leftovers home. The patio was cozy and warm too ;)

Delicious, fresh, and creative food. Attentive staff and nice atmosphere! This was my second time at Altamirano and I'm happy to have had great experiences here both times. Definitely a must try if you live in the Nopa or Haight neighborhoods. The portions are very sizable. We were a party of two and we were stuffed by the end of the meal and took leftovers to go. We enjoyed each course. Each dish had a unique flavor profile, and we enjoyed seeing how each ingredient paired together. The lobster bao tasted like the sea. The mango in the ceviche was a tough of sweetness we didn't expect. The lamb meat fell off the bone effortlessly. The drinks here are also delicious. I had a passionfruit mocktail this time and I can taste clearly the real passionfruit sweet and tangy. Service and ambience are both fantastic. The restaurant decor is nice and contemporary. Overall, I recommend Altamirano for a bit of an elevated dining experience for groups of various sizes. Perfect for date night or a place to take parents to. Be prepared to want to try everything on the menu!

Very lovely experience! The menu is diverse and great attention to detail in the plates. Ceviche is delicious just wish it was a little bigger portions, but the rice was sufficient with the entrees

Altamirano is a diamond in the rough—stylish, welcoming, and serving incredibly fresh, on-point Peruvian food. The staff knows the menu inside and out, and the cocktails are just as impressive. Whether you’re coming for a full meal or just stopping in for drinks, it’s a rare gem west of Divisadero that feels both refined and relaxed.

Loved our experience. Woke about thinking about the lamb arancini. We loved everything we ordered, and we are excited to revisit to try more of the menu. The service was fantastic—all around great dinner.

Great ambiance, service, and most importantly food! Walked in on a busy Friday night but we were still able to find two seats at the bar. Our bartender took our order quickly in between mixing many of their signature pisco sours. We ordered one ceviche and three share plates, which was plenty of food for two. The halibut ceviche and tomato bomb salad were particularly delicious, but the shrimp toast and crab were also very well composed dishes. We will definitely be returning. Altamirano is a gret addition to the west Nopa neighborhood. If you're in the area, stop by!

===TL;DR=== - Drinks: Pisco sour - Altamirano and Mezcalita 16 ===TMI=== Beautiful place but came here during their off hours just for drinks to catch up with a friend. How nice to almost have the whole place to yourself and just a bartender serving it up haha. Nicely crafted drinks and they were delicious. Time just ticks away when you're with good company here! Hope to come back another time to explore their food side! Staffs were friendly and thanks for answering our curious question about wines!

Maracuya Pisco Sours: 4/5 Pretty solid tasty drink that's on the sweeter side. Ferrenafe Crab: 1.5/5 The purple potato didn't have much taste to it. The crab was also a bit salty. Crab Ravioli with squid ink: 5/5 crab flavor tasted a lot better, squid ink flavor was not there though. Arancini Criollo: 3.5/5 I like the crunchiness and the lamb wasn't bad.. Thankfully it was not gamey Arroz Con Mariscos: 3/5 Portion was good for two, a lot of seafood. Flavor on the rice was light but if you're expecting more of crunchy rice then this dish is not for you because the rice is quite moist. Churro Sandwich 5/5 The dessert over all wasn't too sweet and the churro had a nice crunch to it. Service was strong at first but then kind of lacked towards the end.

Went here for a Friday evening, seated in the back patio. Very nice ambiance, service was great. We tried the Salmon ceviche with the jalapeño avocado sauce- it was a bit too salty unfortunately. We ordered the special - short rib in a bbq sauce with a corn cake. The meat was nice and tender and the corn cake was soft and sweet. The Arroz con Mariscos was a bit too salty as well. The churro ice cream sandwich was pretty tasty. The churros were hot and fresh.

I went to visit during restaurant week and I was so happy to get a opportunity to try it out. The location is beautiful, a bit loud so definitely hard to have conversations. Service was wonderful, our waitress, waitstaff, just everyone was lovely and attentive. We opted for a prefix and added some items. We loved all our plates, we wish we would have also ordered the lamb chop. It looked fall off the bone and everyone mentioned how tasty it was. I would say pass on the churro dessert as I felt the churro was more doughy than I enjoy but does compliment the pistachio ice cream. I would 100% come back to try more plates.

This place has so much potential. Their food is spectacular, and their drinks are amazing. I think since they had just opened a couple months ago, they're still working out some kinks. All of the food was delicious! The chips & dip were amazing to start, and the baos, shrimp toast was awesome! Drinks were a little sweet for our taste, but still not bad. Ambience is incredible, beautiful place! Service at the bar was a little slow, and a few minor misses for a fancy restaurant! Like not giving napkins with drinks, etc.

On our first visit, we Cerebrated two birthdays on a Saturday night. We made the reservation a couple of weeks in advance for a party of 5. There is indoor and outdoors covered seating with beautiful fire pit in the middle to gather around while waiting. We were promptly seated and started with drinks and appetizers. All I can say is wow!!! The combination of food, presentation, unique flavors and colorful display of food makes for an unforgettable meal. There was not one entree that we didn't enjoy!! We ordered 9 entrees (they are tapas style and small) and two desserts for a party of 5 and it was plenty of food. Will definitely come back again and try more of their entrees in future. Love love love this place.

I went here for restaurant week dinner last night with some friends and oh my God this place is amazing. All of the food that we ordered was so delicious. I already cannot wait to go back here. What we ordered: ladies night out cocktail, sashimi, Dungeness crab, lomo saltado, lamb, churro sandwich and crème brûlée. The crab and lamb were definitely the two stand out dishes. The crab came with a delicious purple potato immersed in a yummy sauce. And the lamb was soo tender. It's a huge portion too. Might've been the best lamb shank I've had. The churro ice cream sandwich was also soo good and creamy. It's a very unique dessert option. Our reservation was at 7:45 but we didn't get seated until close to 8:15. I think they were a bit behind schedule and extra busy. Hopefully that's not the norm. Overall, we had a wonderful time despite the long wait.

Went on Halloween night after trick or treat with my family! The restaurant is kid friendly (high chair and coloring stuff), so that was great! My husband and I divided an appetizer (the salmon brûlé tiradito - amazing) and then the Thai salmon for me that was still good, and the lomo saltado for my husband that didn't enjoy enough. I give a 3 stars not for the food but because of the staff, our waiter was a little bit unfriendly and she wasn't really able to recommend any specific plate (she just listed everything). This is just a tip to make sure the clients feel comfortable. We'll come back to try other plates.

Altamirano offers a modern dining experience with an upscale ambiance. However, the noise level can make it difficult to hold a conversation. We visited during Restaurant Week and had the opportunity to try their three-course prix-fixe menu. The first course, the Ferrenafe Crab, was a flavorful dish with a complex interplay of textures and flavors. While the potato causa was a standout, it somewhat overpowered the delicate crab. The second course, the Lomo Saltado, was a bit disappointing. The beef was chewy and lacked flavor. The Peruvian fries, however, were a highlight, absorbing the rich oyster-soy sauce (which explains why the beef was bland). The Churro Sandwich was a decadent dessert, perfect for sharing. The churro itself was slightly undercooked, but the dulce de leche sauce was delicious. The service was prompt and friendly, adding to the overall positive dining experience.

I've been wanting to try this new restaurant for a while, and they did not disappoint! The star of our brunch was the mostrito--the chicken was incredibly flavorful and crispy, the eggs cooked perfectly, and the Chaufa rice was delicious. For dessert, we shared the French toast and the purple waffle. Both were packed with flavor, but I especially loved the fluffy texture and rich taste of the purple waffle. Big shoutout to the chef and the entire staff! Thank you to Francisco, Erick, and John for their incredible service and hard work! The restaurant's decor is beautiful, and the cozy ambiance is thoughtfully created with attention to every small detail. Additionally they have live music on Sunday!

What are the stand outs for Altamirano? Stellar drinks and food! For drinks, I highly recommend the Maracuya Pisco! In terms of dishes, the halibut ceviche was to die for. The tender fish paired so well with the citrusy sauce. Additionally, the pulpo (octopus) was probably the best cooked octopus I have ever had. The interior was gorgeous and full with so much energy. My friend and I commented how it felt like we were transported to bustling restaurant in New York. It felt like a luxurious experience even though dishes were priced fairly. Finally, the staff was extremely friendly and attentive as well. We were greeted with a smile and energy at every moment and we definitely felt welcomed the entire time. What are areas of improvement? Honestly, not much. The only improvement we saw was with the Pescado Nikkei. Although a gorgeous and striking dish, it lacked flavor and texture. It almost felt like the fish wasn't freshly fried and there wasn't much seasoning with the dish. We could've used an extra side of the sauce that was lightly dressed over the fish. All in all, Altamirano is a great restaurant if you are craving some semi-upscale Peruvian food. You will experience great drinks, flavorful (for the most part) dishes, and friendly staff. Five stars!

Restaurant just opened couple weeks before we dined here and was pretty buzzing on a Friday night. We were able to snag a group reservation a week in advance. Beautiful space - they did a really good job! The back covered patio? is nice too with a fire pit, can see it working well for a private party. Pretty easy street parking. Excellent service. Cocktails - tried the chicha morada and maracuya pisco sours, they were pretty subtle. I wanted something more flavorful but it was easy drinking. Appetizers Ceviches - tried the Sunset and Tulum. Loved the Sunset (halibut), was a little more flavorful and different. The Tulum (salmon) was ok. Lobster black bao - bao didn't taste like anything and was dense. The lobster salad was good though. Ferreñafe crab - small portion so didn't really taste the crab but delicious nonetheless with a fun purple potato mash Burrito empanada - nice filling-to-dough ratio and better crust than most empanadas. Didn't get a ton of flavor from the Wagyu short rib though. Yuca fries - interesting little balls, lightly fried with a thin crispy exterior and airy fluffy interior Sweet potato fries - fine, but would have liked more for $9 Entrees Pulpo anticuchero - out of this world. Great cook on the octopus, tender but crispy exterior. Unexpected and delish pesto quinoa with roasted pine nuts. Must get (if you're ok eating pulpo) Pimentel lamb shank - solid lamb shank, falling off the bone. They gave us a steak knife that kept falling into the dish and really it was so tender we didn't need a knife at all. The corn puree was bomb. Thai salmon - I don't think I took a picture! It was a pretty standard piece of salmon in coconut curry. We didn't try desserts but they were all ~$17. Not sure how big they'd be.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of San Francisco, Altamirano dazzles with its beautifully designed, warm interior that perfectly complements the exquisite culinary offerings. The moment you step inside, you're enveloped in an inviting ambiance that feels both upscale and cozy, making it an ideal spot for a delightful dining experience. To kick off our meal, we sipped on a range of flavorful drinks. The Passionfruit Juice was a refreshing start, bursting with tropical notes, while the Thai Mojito offered a delightful twist on a classic, perfectly balancing sweetness and herbaceousness. The Chicha Sour was a fun surprise, with its unique flavor profile, and the cappuccino was the perfect warm finish to our meal. As a lovely touch, we were greeted with complimentary chips and a dip that set the stage for our meal--a simple yet tasty start that hinted at the culinary pleasures to come. For appetizers, we dove into a selection that truly showcased Altamirano's creativity. The Salmon Brulee stole the show--a masterful blend of textures and flavors that left us wanting more. Literally, wanting to lick the bowl. The Chorizo Empanada was also a hit, offering a savory punch, while the Chipotle Shrimp Toast was equally delightful with its smoky, spicy undertones. We did try the Lobster Black Bao, but the squid flavor overwhelmed the delicate lobster, making it a less favorable choice. For our entrees, we opted for the Lomo Saltado and the Pollito Brasa. Both were flavorful and satisfying, but next time, we might skip the entrees in favor of exploring more of the ceviche options, which sounded incredibly tempting. To conclude our meal, we indulged in desserts--a rich cheesecake and a delightful tres leches cake that provided the perfect sweet ending to our dining experience. Altamirano has quickly become one of our new San Francisco favorites, blending a warm atmosphere with attentive service and an impressive array of dishes. Whether you're looking for a casual dinner or a special occasion, this gem is sure to impress. Can't wait to return and try more!

I can't overstate how phenomenal the Tomato Bomb Salad is. It is aesthetically delightful and the taste absolutely lives up to the design. The "form fits function" nature of the bomb being stuffed with pesto quinoa is entertaining as a "choose your own adventure" eating experience. Even though the presentation shows the disparate elements, the combination once mixed together is superb. I'm looking forward to coming back. The service was very warm and efficient without feeling rushed. Also, they had a killer playlist heavily featuring Fleetwood Mac. A big win all around.

We left with a full belly! We were able to make reservations through the phone even when all the dinner time reservation slots online were all gone. We wanted to find something relatively close to Bellota on Brannon, which is now closed. A few things we got: lamb shank, pulpo, arroz con mariscos, tusan cebiches, solpi sashimi, churro sandwich, and this cinnamon crème brûlée. Highly recommend the sashimi, pulpo, and arroz con mariscos! For a party of 4, this was more than enough.

Had a nice experience at this new restaurant. The architecture & decor of this restaurant is beautiful. Nice outside space with firepit. Inside is modern and artistic. Service was warm and inviting. Food was good. Appetizers: we had a crab &potato dish, lamb slivers ... both were good with unique presentation. Also had Peruvian fries, which were basically potato balls topped with Mexican cheese... different, nothing bad. Main dishes: ordered fried rice with seafood and the fried whole fish. The fish was very good, some type of Snapper. The fried rice was ok. That was it for the evening. Everything was good. I did notice that the waittress seemed to get frazzled as more patrons arrived. Enjoyed the restaurant and will try other dishes in the future. I'm sure they will get better and better with practice.

Altamirano is a great addition to the SF Peruvian dining scene. My friend and I came here during their first week. We shared the mancora (mixed seafood) as our ceviche, roasted baby beet salad and lobster black bao as our starters, pulpo anticuchero and pescado Nikkei as our entrees and the tiramisu as our dessert. They started us with some complementary potato chips - good dipping sauce but the chips could have been crisper. The ceviche was flavorful and had good portions of seafood (shrimp and fish). I would definitely order that again. Of the starters, the lobster black bao was a bit messy and the bao should have been fluffier (the squid ink was a nice flavor to the bun but it was chewy). The roasted baby beet salad was really good. The two entrees were both fabulous but the pulpo is a must order. The octopus was cooked perfectly and the pesto quinoa that came with it was unexpectedly good. The tiramisu was the perfect dessert - it was rich but not too sweet. The restaurant is beautiful and we were seated in a really spacious outdoor area with a bar and a fire pit. I definitely recommend the outdoor patio here. The inside of the restaurant was a bit smoky. Service was good and attentive (but they did forget about the coffee we ordered with dessert). With tax and tip, this was about $130 each, which is good value for the food and the experience. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

I'm a huge fan of Peruvian food and Altamirano just became one of my favorite spots in the city! The ambiance and decor was beautiful and upscale, really nice for a date night or dinner with friends. Service was very friendly and it was easy to make a reservation online. The food was amazing! My favorite dish was the Arroz con Mariscos which perfectly creamy and full of seafood. I had a dish similar to this in Peru a few years back and this brought me back to those flavors. The pescado Nikkei was huge, and the fried rice on the side was perfect. This could honestly be shared with two people. The cocktails were also delicious. Would love to come back here and try more of their d

such a cute spot! the ambiance was classy and perfect for a date night or a girls night out.

Great service and food! The dishes were very unique, with some of them having amazing presentation. Our favorite dishes were the fish, lamb shank, shredded potato dish, and the raw fish appetizer. All of those were excellent, tasty, and decently portioned. The desserts I think we could have done without -- they were either too sweet or did not standout. The restaurant itself is beautiful and perfect for date night or dinner with friends. Overall, excellent experience!

Lovely ambiance, great service and food, would love to go back. Very professional waitstaff and friendly service. Everything was delicious, some dishes more than others. Highly recommend the scallops (best dish of the evening), halibut crudo, arroz con mariscos, churros, chorizo empanadas, shrimp toast, Thai salmon. (In that order). All of these items were very flavorful. Didn't love the lobster back buns-- lackluster. The tomato and feta salad was good but absolutely nothing special. Wine selection was great; we didn't try any cocktails. Complimentary chips were lovely, but being charged for more was not, especially after ordering half the menu. Would still come back, but not necessarily in a rush. Solid restaurant overall.

This is the first of many visits I will make to Altamirano restaurant. Its cozy atmosphere is unique; not to mention the menu designed by Chef Eric; which is undoubtedly sublime. The drinks at the right times; each of the TMs attentive to every detail of the service; Francisco the DO; the manager Aura, the server Bright, all adjusted and synchronized like a Swiss watch. One of the new and good things to visit in SFO. Altamirano

We tried Altamirano for the first time and it was a great experience. The food was delicious, very well presented with great flavors and high quality ingredients. We tried the Dungeness crab starter with purple potatoes and it was amazing! Great also the arroz with seafood and the lomo saltado! The staff was very friendly and attentive and made the experience very comfortable and positive. I look forward to trying this restaurant again soon!

Altamirano stands like a gem along a winding road, beckoning those who wander with an unassuming charm, its warmth like a fire on a winter's night. The ceviche is a taste of the sea, fresh as a cold morning, with a tang that cuts through with the clarity of mountain air. I ventured next into the lomo saltado, rich as autumn's harvest, with tender beef and spices that warm the soul. The staff, like kindred spirits on a shared path, guide you gently through each flavor and choice. Altamirano is a place where flavors linger, a memory that stays long after you've left.

Altamirano took me back to the memories of some of the best top chefs in Lima. Chef Carlos recreates the Michelin worthy Peruvian magic right here in nopa. The craft cocktails are uniquely Peruvian twists. The native potato chips and dips give you a nice preview of what to expect. The ceviches are fresh, mouth watering and delightful. The classic Peruvian dish loma Saltado is recreated like the original classic and is not to be missed. I was looking forward to Aji de gallina - another classic spicy aji creamy sauce with grilled chicken that was moist, tender and full of flavors. The tiramisu at Peruvian restaurant was a surprise but it was a creative take on tiramisu Peruvian style. This is another welcome addition to the vibrant scene of highly creative chefs coming to SF. Looking forward to trying so many other magical dishes here

Altamirano, a new Peruvian restaurant w/a hint of Asian influence, has been on my list since they opened in October, as I'm already a fan of their sister restaurant Piqeuos. We started w/the Mixto Ceviche and an incredible Sophi Sashimi appetizer w/tuna tataki served under a dome full of smoke. The Tomato Bomb Salad w/burrata, quinoa & kale was a standout thanks to the quinoa in a delicious pesto dressing nestled inside the tomato. My favorite dish was the Pescao Nikkei! Typically I don't order whole fish because I don't like to deal with the bones, but this fish is not only battered & deep fried, most of it comes in pre-cut pieces that are easy to eat, along with a sweet chili sauce and fried rice. My husband's favorite was the Pulpo Anticuchero octopus confit w/pesto quinoa, feta, botija aioli & roasted pine nuts, and we also really liked the Chipotle Shrimp Toast and Lobster Black Bao appetizers. For dessert we indulged in the heavenly Churro Sandwich filled w/lucuma-pistachio ice cream and the Lucuma (a sweet Peruvian fruit) Tiramisu. Altamirano has a modern, upscale, trendy vibe that's perfect for dinner/brunch with friends or date night, whether you're sitting indoors or in their enclosed patio (which has a firepit!) Definitely recommend checking it out!!

I went to Altamirano to celebrate my birthday on Tuesday. We were seat at the patio which was nice and cozy. Food was amazing I tried mostly raw fish and ceviche. All dish were fresh ingredients and tasty. Maya was my server and she is amazing. She gave me outstanding experience. I love her energy and made my day even more special. I will be back again for sure!

Food was really great. The interior is super cute, "trendy" and welcoming. The service was okay. My date and I both thought our waitress was a bit rude and seemed annoyed with our wine inquiries. I would definitely go back again though.

We had an assortment of different appetizers and entrees to share as a group of five girls and it was perfect. We were able to share family style and left full. I don't remember what we ate but it was about 5-6 dishes. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was cute but a little dark. Overall food was good and we had a great time! However, I'm not sure if I'd go back because the dishes were a bit on the pricier side for what they were.

My return trip to ALTAMIRANO was predictably superlative! The engaging relational, efficient staff: Luna, Isabel, Yosvi, Oscar, etc. obviously take their cue from Manager, Ricardo! I hosted a work colleague who is fastidious about culinary experiences, and ALTAMIRANO more than met her expectations! We dined on the Corn Ribs, Burrito Empanada, Lomo Saltado and Churro Sandwich. The true test of optimal satisfaction is that my colleague will be revisiting ALTAMIRANO but this time with her equally fastidious son!! NOTE: Our reservations were at 5 pm and, as such, we experienced the venue becoming increasingly crowded...ergo, make prior reservations!

I'm so happy this restaurant opened in my neighborhood. The dishes - especially the shrimp toast - are like flavor explosions! I really appreciate their unique takes on traditional dishes. The ambience is also great - it reminds me of restaurants / bars in New York. I am recommending this place to everyone I know!

The food/ menu is excellent and interesting. Every table got free potato chips and dip which was a delicious way to start a meal. The table next to us got a dish that came under a glass dome filled with smoke that smelled delectable. The restaurant is new, thoughtfully decorated and comfortable. The patio in the back is a lovely place to have an intimate dinner or to gather with friends around a fire pit. The service was great, the waitstaff worked together to make sure we were enjoying our meal. They were very busy when we came so the service was a bit slow but we were happy to take our time.

This rating is related to aspects that are likely attributed to the restaurant being new. Pros: - The food here was really wonderful. We got the halibut ceviche and LOVED it. Would absolutely get it again. - The cocktails were also great. I got one of the pisco sours with passion fruit and my boyfriend got the old fashion. Both really wonderful! Cons: - We arrived about 5 minutes late for our reservation and our table wasn't ready as someone was still sitting there. That wouldn't typically be a problem, however we waited at the bar for another 15 or so minutes before we were seated. - While we were sitting at the bar, water spilled from under the bar onto my leg and the ground. We weren't upset by this, things happen and everyone was very kind and apologetic. However what was a bit off putting was that a waiter came over, apologized again, and set down some purple potato chips and dip. We were not planning on asking for anything due to the water spill, but this was presented to us as a comped apology appetizer. We later found out that everyone is given the chips and dip, so it felt a little disingenuous. - We were sat outside, which had a lovely ambiance, however we were at the corner table and we had to physically squeeze by two other tables to get into our seats. The waiters and waitresses had to ask the people to our left and right to move every time they came to our table. The tables should have been more spread out. - Our waitress, who was very kind and knew her stuff, missed one of our appetizers (the one we were most excited about sadly!). When I asked about it and we later confirmed we no longer needed it since we already received our entrees, she said "you can get it next time," which rubbed us both a bit the wrong way since we both confirmed that we ordered it. - With 2 drinks each, 2 appetizers, and 2 entrees, the dinner was $250 total, which feels pricey for the issues we encountered.

First time here and I loved it. Service , food and drinks are awesome! My favorite was the paella and the churros desert! Parking is hard but you can park at lucky Accross the street. I wish we had more people to order more of their dishes. Definitely recommend this place. Of course I will be back. I would recommend to make reservations as they do get pack. Overall.. us gals enjoyed it very much!

I attended Altamirano's Soft Opening and was very impressed by this place! Everyone was welcoming and friendly. I loooved the ambiance of the place - both indoors and outdoors. It gave off a trendy, modern, yet still intimate enough atmosphere. It's perfect for a date night or night out with friends (and to take cute dinner photos)! The food was very fresh and yummy and we were all very impressed with their Peruvian cocktails (I loved the Maracuya/Passionfruit one!!) and even the Zero Proof (Mocktails) were very tasty! Both the Churro Sandwich (with handmade lucuma-pistachio ice cream) and Chicha Brûlée desserts were also delicious and the best way to end the night with a sweet treat :) I would definitely love to come back and try the other entrees offered, but the Pescado Nikkei was both delicious and had a beautiful presentation (still thinking about it)! I'm already telling my family and friends about this place and if you're looking for a new place in The City to try, this is the place!! Starters ordered: Sunset Cebiche Tulum Cebiche Sophi Sashimi (came with a "smoky" presentation - be sure to get your phones out for a photo/video!) Tuna Tacos Entrees ordered: Pescado Nikkei Lomo Saltado Desserts ordered: Chicha Brûlée Churro Sandwich Cocktails ordered: Maracuyá Pisco Chicha Morada Pisco Mocktails ordered: Coconut Nojito Call Me

Gorgeous restaurant with delicious food. Plus do not hesitate to book the patio. It's covered and heated so very comfortable. In fact, we generally prefer it to the indoor space (except for the bar which is pretty and fun) because the acoustics are better in the patio. Food and drinks delicious and we felt the prices are fair. The only dish we were kinda meh about was the lamp. We found it overly sweet. But other dishes were delightful!

So glad to have come try this out! I loved the hamachi ceviche and the tomato salad. I hope they keep up with the quality.

The atmosphere and the display of everything was amazing, exceptional actually. The only reason I am not giving this place 5 stars is because the food lacked a little to me. Being Peruvian, I could taste the traditional seasoning and flavorings but I was not wow'd by the food. The drinks were amazing and the churro sandwich is a MUST! All & all, I would come back but avoid getting the ceviche and would just get the entree. The service was great! Everyone was very attentive or rush us, we had a reservation but it seemed like you could also walk in and be seated shortly in regular seating or at the bar

Came in last night to celebrate 2 of my friends' birthdays. We had a 7:30pm reservation but were running late after work so they were able to seat us at 8:30pm. The outdoor seating area was very nice. For drinks we ordered a glass of Malbec, Guava French 75, and a Mezcal cocktail. Nothing too special with the cocktails, wine was good. Had a few rounds of Fortaleza and Don Julio as well. Food we tried: Halibut Ceviche: Very good, fresh fish and cut in thick pieces. Scallops: 2 small pieces of scallops on a big plate served warm. Was good but small, could have used some more acidity. Shrimp Toast: Favorite of the night, we ordered it twice Lobster Bao: The bao itself was good, loved the texture. The meat however felt a little lost as it was shredded lobster. Would have enjoyed this more with big chunks for more texture. Steak: They torch the truffle butter table side. Would have loved a better sear and crust on the steak but other wise it was cooked at a perfect medium rare. A bit more salt and pepper would have been nice too. Dessert: We ordered a Lucuma Tiramisu which was nice, the lucuma flavor was definitely prominent. Then they gifted us a Strawberry Tres Leches for the birthday girls -- good cake but nothing too special. Nonetheless thankful for the gesture, Service: We had Eduardo as our server. He did his best. He accommodated us well even after the kitchen's last call. Total bill came out to around $470 plus tip. Would come again to try other dishes. Congrats on the opening!

Went here for brunch, and it was a great experience! 10:30am on a Saturday, sat in their outdoor, covered seating. Great ambiance/cute decor. Food was delicious! We ordered the steak and eggs, chicken dish (mostrito) and purple corn waffles. The fried rice in the chicken dish was my favorite, and the waffles were nice and fluffy and not too sweet. The steak and eggs were also nicely done -- the sweet plantains and white bean hash was yummy. Would come back again to try dinner!

Just a beautiful space and the patio is the secret gem. As the inside while nice is a bit loud. Overall great food but wish the deep fried fish was spicy vs sweet.

Very much worth checking out for the food and ambiance. They are still getting their sea legs under themselves in terms of timing, but all the servers were prompt and friendly. Given it's only been 2 weeks since they opened, I have very high hopes for Altamirano and anticipate upgrading my rating to 5 stars. Would definitely recommend if you aren't on a time crunch. Every single dish was beautifully prepared and super tasty!

From the moment we stepped into Altamirano, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, perfect for both a romantic dinner or a night out with family and friends. The food was absolutely divine! Every dish was a burst of flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the Ferreñafe Crab Causa as a appetizer and the Pimentel Lamb as a entree . The dessert menu did not disappoint either , the chicha brûlée was the perfect sweet ending to our meal. Drinks were delicious but my favorite was Maracuya Sour (Passion fruit Pisco Sour) The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and they made sure our dining experience was top-notch. Whether you're a foodie or just looking for a great place to enjoy a meal, Altamirano is a must-visit. We'll definitely be returning soon.

Unfortunately I was not a fan of Altamirano. Food: uninteresting flavors, overpriced. The lamb shank was somewhat redeeming (tender, juicy) but was not good enough to outweigh: the tiny and too-raw scallops ($25 for two coin-sized pieces), the thin and once-frozen tasting fries, the supposedly 'best hamachi in the city' which actually tasted like a Poke bowl - over seasoned, too sweet, not delicate at all, and the crab which had very little flavor and an all-for-show purple potato side. Service: the waitress was friendly however the servers were still very much in training - wrong food brought to table, etc Ambiance: warm however felt a bit like a classic family restaurant in suburbia vs a cool new spot suited for a city.
