Pink Salt Restaurant & Lounge

recently visited Peruvian Pink Salt with a Peruvian friend who knew exactly what to order—and wow, what an experience! Every dish was packed with bold, authentic flavor, but one thing stood out above all: the potatoes. I’m not even sure what they were exactly, but they were hands-down the best potatoes I’ve ever had—perfectly seasoned, rich, and completely unforgettable. The entire meal was a celebration of vibrant, comforting Peruvian cuisine. I wouldn’t have known what to pick on my own, but with the right guidance, every bite was a hit. If you’re looking for something truly unique and delicious, this place is a must-try. I’ll absolutely be coming back—and bringing more friends with me next time.

This was my first introduction to Peruvian food, and I’ve since tried a couple of other places. Pink Salt is still a memorable standout, especially with how the lightness and freshness of the ceviche complemented the stronger flavors of the mains. I don’t drink much and the cocktail was well balanced for me. The portions were pretty decent too - my partner and I both leftovers we took back home. The ambiance is cute. Overall a great experience - would recommend.

From the dish descriptions and pics I was really excited to try this place, but the flavors, especially at this price point, were really disappointing. The 2-star rating feels a bit harsh, but it was expensive while not being very good, and the service was mid to off-putting. I just wouldn’t come back, there are so many better options around town. What was good: - The Coconut Praws (which were smol not large) were really tasty. They had a good fry, flavor, and sauce. - The Chicha Morada (a Peruvian purple corn drink) was well spiced and balanced. - The mixed drinks we had were fine, tho not memorable. Not so good: - I LOVE Peruvian chicken. There’s a local chain in NC called Alpaca that I have to actively stop myself eating at for every meal because their rotisserie chicken is the best I’ve ever had. The chicken here tho was dry and tasted closer to burnt than properly charred. - The Tallarin Con Pollo just had no flavor. That’s it. Just really disappointing and expensive. - The whipped potatoes, tho eye-catching in presentation, tasted like a random lunch for a kid. It tasted like plain mash and mayo chicken. It was not a good flavor Service: They felt understaffed and stressed, and the service we got reflected that. They weren’t attentive, and certainly didn’t make the experience feel special. The space: The bar, with the pink salt bricks, is elegant and a fitting namesake, but the ceiling looks to have fire damage and chairs were staked up in random locations. On the whole the space didn’t feel elevated, and the food wasn’t on point to make that moot.

Pisco sour is cute but flavor-wise okay, ceviche is good with a mix type of baked and boiled corns. Tenderloin special of New York is really good, risotto super flavorful and steak is cooked perfectly with crispy edge, yummy!

I have been here twice now. And since April of 2024, I've been dreaming when I can have this dish again. It is mouthwatering and filled with flavor. Food was hot the entire meal. I am normally not a pesto person and claim I don't like mushrooms, THIS WAS A GAME CHANGER. I'm new to eating Octopus,but this was also a great dish. Service has been great both times I have gone. Love the ambiance. Definitely on my must go to stops when coming to Washington

Amazing experience! I loved everything about this place with the ambience service and the food was so beautifully presented. I was here for a birthday party and they were so attentive he made us feel really special. The best part was the pico sours, and how adorable they were decorated with the image of a llama. Will definitely be back.!

My husband and I came here to eat while visiting from Tennessee. We were very highly impressed. My husband got the Ceviche Nikkei, and I got the Pescado Ahumado. Can I say mind blown? Flavors were impeccable, wait staff was professional and kind. Will highly recommend.

The pisco sour and pink salt margarita were excellent. Also enjoyed the ceviche clasico and lomo saltado.

The interior strikes a nice balance between modern and inviting, with a warm ambiance that's perfect for enjoying conversations, suitable for a date night or catching up with friends. We ordered three items: the yuca rellena, lamb shank (Cordero - from the specials), and the pesto risotto with tenderloin. While all were enjoyable, the tenderloin was the undeniable star of the meal. Well seasoned and cooked to tender perfection, it paired beautifully with the creamy risotto. Our server also mentioned thats it was the restaurant's most popular dish. The lamb shank had some lovely complementary elements like the beans and pickled red onions, but the meat itself was a bit of a letdown. It was difficult to eat, and there just wasn't enough of it on the bone to feel satisfying. The dish as a whole needed salt as well. The yuca rellena came served as four balls, but the smoked gouda cheese inside overpowered the flavor of the yuca. It seemed like the yuca was processed to achieve the rolled ball shape, which left me missing the natural texture of yuca that I usually enjoy. Overall, the food and atmosphere at Pink Salt make it a solid choice for a nice night out. While there's room for improvement on some dishes, the tenderloin alone makes it worth another visit.

The food was delicious, although not as healthy as we thought it would be with ordering salad and fish. The salad was quite unique flavors, and in my opinion was the best part of the meal. The black cod was soft like butter, but loaded with oil/butter and did not feel too lean. it was also sitting on top of a large bed of risotto that tasted closer to mac & cheese than a high end restaurant. The ratio of fish to carby risotto did not feel balanced. The dessert included shortbread cookies, normally a favorite. However, these cookies were abundantly dry and crumbled a bit too easily. To top it off, they were coated in sugar to an excessive extent, and I can say we decided not to finish dessert. The staff were friendly. Overall, I can say it wasn't terrible and the food was somewhat unique, but with the exception of the salad, it's not a place I would be running to go back to.

Let me say first that my review is more of a 3.5 than a 3 rating. There were highlights but there were also low lights. I've had Pink Salt bookmarked for a while because of its very high rating. So one Friday night, a group of four of us decided to give it a shot. To start, they gave us some cancha (corn nuts) which was quite addicting. Maybe one of the better items here. We ordered the following... -Ceviche Clasico -Calamari -Causa Nikkei -Pesto Risotto -Their take on Aji de Gallina In terms of starters, the ceviche was alright. I've had better in other places. While I'm not well-versed in Peruvian food, my take is that a ceviche is great when you feel like drinking the leche de tigre... and I didn't really feel the need to drink this leche. The calamari was straight up bad. Definitely skip. The Causa Nikkei was their octopus dish which was nice. The octopus was tender and the whipped potato was tasty. As for the entrees, we weren't really impressed, especially at the price point. Would we come back? No. But I can see why it's popular. It's a relatively nice restaurant in Magnolia - especially considering that most places don't stay open too late. So I'm glad they're doing good business. But it wasn't for me.

I love Pink Salt and feel lucky to have it in our neighborhood! The service is usually prompt and friendly (though occasionally is hit and miss), but the place is beautiful with the salt rock wall, and kid-friendly. Most importantly, the food is always solid with some really outstanding dishes. The pasta and the green sauce (aji verde I assume) is incredible; I could drink that sauce. The causa, solterito salad, and burger are also great. Worth the trek into Magnolia!

My review is based on being Peruvian and I can cook authentic Peruvian dishes. Overall a good experience and definitely the dishes come in a great presentation. The ceviche clasico was amazing. Everyone should honestly always get this dish as it pairs well with any entree. It's also a perfect dish to share The Papa La Huancaina is French fry style with huancaina sauce. The sauce is good but I'm used to having it with a different type of cheese, therefore; the huancaina flavor wasn't what I expected. I did like the sauce though and ate all the sauce. The ambiance and service of the restaurant was great, and is in the heart of Magnolia with other great restaurants and almost overlooking the Farmers Market on a Saturday early afternoon. The chef whom I follow on Instagram had a chance to talk with me and told me that he also makes 2 types of Peruvian ice cream and gave me a sample made with Rocoto, which is a Peruvian hot pepper. The ice cream tasted like strawberry with a little kick, paired with an alfajor, whipped cream and a reduction of chicha morada.

Magnolia has been, in my mind, not the hotbed for restaurants. True, that Petit Pierre started there, and became to popular, that it was purchased and now it's becoming a small local chain of nearly top-notch French food. No, I never thought of this area as a place to visit. Pink Salt defies that thinking, by planting in the middle of Magnolia, a wonderful eatery, which is dreamy goodness. It feels cozy, intimate, yet spacious in the right way. The ambiance is all about the salt... the food is perfectly seasoned.. and it's Peruvian Inspired. my food order was Lomo Saltado, which is Silver beef tenderloin stir-fried and served with red onions and tomato. This has rice and potatoes also. It was delicious. I mean, I'm definitely interested in coming back, and if this is the start to a nice row of restaurants, then I'm all for it.

So excited, they opened up for breakfast on the weekends! Always love their their food and their breakfast menu is great. Enjoyed the sausage flavor and everything else that came with it including excellent service.

The restaurant is very comfortable, the service was great and the food was delicious. We'll be back!

Delicious! Great fusion of traditional dishes! We came here for our anniversary and were not disappointed!

Pink Salt is an excellent Peruvian restaurant in the Magnolia neighborhood in Seattle. They offer an upscale, inviting atmosphere. They offer a variety of Pisco cocktails (Pisco being the national liquor of Peru). I had the pulp a la parilla (grilled octopus) and arroz con mariscos (rice with seafood). Both were notably delicious, but the pulpo (both the appetizer and in the seafood) really stood out. It was perfectly tender and tasted great. The portions are plentiful compared with similarly upscale places, and the bartender was friendly. A new favorite!

tried the SRW lunch menu for the first time at this dining spot. The dishes is average, nothing particularly stood out. I'm curious if their regular menu items might offer more surprises. The service was fine, though I'm unsure why our waitress gave us menus later than the other tables, especially since the other clients were white.

If you need a fancy cocktail, this is the place to go. Not only do they make one of my favorite cocktails, "the aviation", but you can enjoy this cocktail while basking in the lovely pink glow of their Himalayan sea salt ambient, lit bar! It is comforting, and a sight to behold. Their bartenders are friendly, knowledgeable, and aim to please! The bar area is beyond cozy! Their food is exotic and interesting. I took a group of friends here recently for a night out, and we indulged in more appetizers than we had planned on... . Pink salt also cares about the planet. They are sponsoring our first ever reuse raffle here in Magnolia. Our goal is to encourage patrons of our Vino in the village event to bring their own wine glass for a raffle ticket. Pink salt is generously providing a gift certificate For anyone who brings their own glass. We could use a lot less single use plastic in the world, and I appreciate pink salt's efforts to encourage people to bring their own to this event!

Pink salt is a hidden gem in Magnolia. My first time here I had the smoked Seabass & risotto and I couldn't believe how incredible the flavors were. The Tallarines Huancaina (steak and fettuccini) is the ultimate comfort food... absolutely delicious. Good ambiance, especially in the bar, good cocktails, and large portions!

We've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally decided to try it during restaurant week. It's a very cute and intimate space that would be great for a date night. We got some pisco sours to start, which were great and had cute llamas on them! However, unfortunately that's about all the good things that I can share about this place. We picked from the SRW menu but unfortunately they had run out of the potato fish we had our eye on and had to settle for an asparagus salad. While it tasted ok, getting asparagus when you were craving potatoes was not exactly my idea of a good time. It sadly went downhill from there - the main I got was a fish on some kind of risotto. I honestly had to block it out of my brain cos it was that disappointing. The fish was both fishy and flavorless at the same time, and was a pretty meager portion for the price. There were also raw tomatoes on there for some reason. The risotto was just under seasoned mush. I could not finish my meal and left hungry. Ending on a somewhat better note, for dessert, I got the passion fruit cheesecake which was quite tasty. I also wished the menu and service did more explaining about how this food is representative of inspired by Peruvian cuisine.

My family and I dined frequently at Pink Salt for the last two or three years and enjoyed it every time , but the quality and variety of the dishes has deteriorated significantly now. We recently tried their new offerings like the seafood stew dish, but it was poorly executed, and the rest of the dishes were bland and overcooked. The Ceviche is the only dish still good. Although service was great and the ambiance ok, the quality of the food is poor.

The food at Pink Salt is so delicious. They have a dog friendly patio with umbrellas. The service is always top notch. They play Latin music on the speakers which adds a nice background to an already delightful experience.

High quality food and high quality service. Best Peruvian food in Seattle and staff are always very quick and accomodating!

I have been here twice now. And since April of 2024, I've been dreaming when I can have this dish again. It is mouthwatering and filled with flavor. Food was hot the entire meal. I am normally not a pesto person and claim I don't like mushrooms, THIS WAS A GAME CHANGER. I'm new to eating Octopus,but this was also a great dish. Service has been great both times I have gone. Love the ambiance. Definitely on my must go to stops when coming to Washington.

Pink Salt is a hidden gem within Magnolia. There are not a lot of restaurant options in Magnolia that are worth going our of your way for, but Pink Salt is the exception. The food was delicious. Highly recommend getting the Yuca Rellana to start. The Pesto Rissotto with Tenderloin was also delicious. I only had a glass of wine but they had some tasty looking cocktails on the menu that are probably worth a try. The food was on the pricier side but it was cooked to perfection. We made reservations but were surprised that the restaurant was largely unoccupied on a Saturday night. It was nice that the restaurant was quiet but it was hard to get a sense for what the ambiance was intended to be. Great choice for delicious food and a nice dinner out though!

Came for lunch during restaurant week with a friend. My friend loves Lomo Saltado and had been wanting to try theirs to compare to some other Peruvian places around town. Great location and aesthetic is nice. Staff was friendly. Is it the best Lomo Saltado she has had no, butvit was decent. We probably would want to come back and see id there is a difference in portion size when not on STW or dinner. The desserts we fine but probably would stick with savory items next time.

Upon walking in, we were greeted by a soft atmosphere with candlelight and Central American music playing at low volume. We were able to be seated immediately at 6pm on a Friday with no reservation! My partner ordered a Pisco Sour, which like everything ordered, had a beautiful presentation and a llama carefully carved into its froth, and I tried their Malbec. This restaurant might have the best plating in Seattle! For entradas, we ordered the ceviche Nikkei and Causa Nikkei. The ahi tuna was sushi grade and both dishes tasted SO refreshing. We were delighted by the presentation, it looked too beautiful to eat! For dinner, we tried the Cordero Pachamanquero, which also came with a side of rice. The highlight of the dish was the exquisite broth and the lamb was cooked to perfection. We also tried the Pesto Risotto with tenderloin, we recommend trying each bite with a tomato! Both dishes were as delicious as they looked! The main course followed the appetizer at the perfect pace, and we had plenty to take home with us. As we were running late to our show, we did not have time for dessert, which was heartbreaking. We will be back next time for Tres Leches!

I came here with my partner on Valentines Day. They offered a course meal for $85 per person, where you pick one thing each from 3 categories: Appetizer, Entree, Dessert. You order everything in the very beginning. The food was phenomenal. The Arroz Con Mariscos had the perfect balance of rice, vegetables, and seafood; they absolutely did NOT skimp on the seafood portions. I had enough to take home for another decent meal. Super pleased. Unfortunately, our server basically forgot about us after our entree. She brought spoons to our table for dessert and we sat there for around 45 minutes waiting for dessert. We eventually flagged her over after a table behind who was sat 30 minutes after we got there got their dessert first. She then told us that our dessert wasn't coming out because they ran out and we needed to pick other options... even though we ordered everything in the beginning. I understand sh*t happens but where was the communication? Why were we not told this until we flagged her down...? And then she told us that she didn't forget about us, because she was "figuring it out". Ma'am. I'm a server and I KNOW that you forgot about us, you didn't check in or even look at our table once when you were walking by for 45 minutes. We're all human and I know things happen but accountability is so much better than a lie. She then brought out the wrong dessert for me. I flagged her over again and asked for the one I ordered. She told me that she could "put passion fruit on top if you want." So bizarre. I had ordered a passionfruit flan. I had to justify this request by saying I do not like the texture of coconut shavings (she brought out coconut flan). My partner got the cookie things... don't get those. Super dry. TLDR: amazing food. Service went downhill extremely quickly. The price point was not worth the service.

A friend recommended this place and so I decided to try it out. The food was delicious and very fresh and flavorful. If you're looking for a different cuisine to try I would stop here. It is on the pricier side so it would also be perfect place to treat yourself or a date night.

We came here on the last day for Seattle Restaurant Week (SRW) to celebrate a friend's birthday. Our party of four were given regular menus. When I asked about the SRW menu we were was told that it was invalid on Saturdays but there was no mention of this anywhere. If I had known earlier then we would have dined elsewhere honoring the event. We stayed and thought we'd try it out. Our food was presented beautifully but quality lacked. I barely had any seafood in my arroz con mariscos, it was mostly rice. The only mussel I had was cracked with nothing in it. The dish tasted bland. The lomo saltado was good and so was the grilled octopus but on the small side. My son had the fish and chips from the kids menu. The fish was dry and some of his fries were burnt. Overall disappointing experience since the birthday celebrant was not acknowledged when indicated on our Open Table reservation. Too many misses to not warrant a return.

Manny makes a mean drink. Stopped in a couple weeks back for a digestif, sat at the bar, and wound up having two drinks. Can't speak to the menu yet, but if the food is anywhere near as tasty as the drinks, this place will vault to the top of my must-visit-in-Magnolia list. Update: Visited again recently for drinks and a quick bite. Selected a couple items from their appetizer menu--steak and octopus. In a word: YUM.

Beautiful restaurant! Love the Himalayan salt theme going on! Food was delicious and loved my cute pisco sour! Quick, friendly service! Would definitely return!

My boyfriend and I came here for his birthday dinner. What a gem of a restaurant in Magnolia! We sat in the back patio where they had live jazz music playing. We started with cocktails (flaming llama is their spicy version of a pisco sour and an blackberry old fashion) and appetizer, pulpo a la parilla. The octopus ended up being our favorite thing!! Cooked perfectly and the sauces complimented well. For our entrees, we ordered the lamb shank and garlic cream pesto pasta with chicken! *chefs kiss* I will definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu! On top of the great food and drinks, the restaurant had overall great atmosphere. Pink Salt seems to be a local hangout for the Magnolia neighborhood as many people knew each other there.

Always amazing. Pink salt serves up great ambiance, nice servers, bartenders always friendly and the food is delicious! Served hot and fresh with lots of flavor. The pasta dish is great. Also recommend the coconut prawns and the yucca. Great drinks. Great food. Great service. Great ambience. Really can't go wrong. Free parking all around no meters. The joy of magnolia. Head to pink salt for a great meal.

Food and drinks were amazing! Plating was beautiful and staff was friendly. Loved the ambiance of the restaurant, cool lighting and decor

First off amazing ambiance. No complaints there 5/5. I get out of my car and atleast 6 people near us was all going to the same restaurant. They even said their food was amazing. I had high hopes already from how much people were inside. Food is more on the smaller portion side for the price but overall good food. Perfect for date night or a treat yourself day. There were slight cons; the mussels in the dish were such a disappointment to the dish since it had "waste" inside and you can taste it. The Cod risotto was perfect but slightly more on the oily side and did give me heart burns while eating. Calamari was yummy but so sad it was gone in a couple of bites. Definitely would recommend because their food is good other than little flaws

This space is adorable. There was a lot of thought put into the decor. The servers were friendly and attentive enough. The food is...well, not great. The starters were marginal. The coconut prawns were dripping with oil, making them inedible. Despite one bite being taken out of exactly 1 prawn out of the entire appetizer, there was no inquiry from the server as to how the food was. I was there celebrating a birthday, it felt awkward to complain. The risotto was just ok. Stodgy. The steak was cooked well, but not well enough to come back to this place. It was expensive...that is not my issue, the food quality/preparation should have reflected the prices. The cocktails were good, and the highlight of the meal. Disappointing. It seems like there are a lot of positive reviews, maybe it was just an off night?

First time visiting this evening, and we were underwhelmed. The prawns were so greasy they were inedible. There was something in the salad that made my tongue swell up, and by the time we got home everyone had a stomach ache. Won't be returning.

I like to try new restaurants and cuisines during Seattle Restaurant Week. Peruvian good at the Pink Salt was next on my list. It's a lovely bright space with lots of windows and mirrors reflecting the light, and a roaring fireplace to drive off the chill of a Seattle spring. The waitress/bartender inquired about my allergies and was so conscientious as to check the ingredients of a ginger ale to make sure I was safe. She let me know that the SRW menu is composed of small plates. I chose the quinoa mango salad, pescado ahumado, and alfajores, along with a Chilcano cocktail from the regular menu. The Chilcano was similar in taste to a Moscow Mule, although the layers of red bitters on the top made for a nice contrast. Every dish was small, but lovingly presented. The salad was a delicious contrast of different textures and flavors. I believe there was even some eggplant and squash in there - unexpected, but they made for a satisfying base. The smoked black cod in the pescado ahumado was good, and the risotto was excellent. Rich, buttery, every bite was a joy. The heirloom tomatoes were incredible - so sweet, so perfect, I savored each one. The alfajores were a surprise - they were described as shortbread but reminded me of in both shape and texture of macarons with caramel on the inside and a plating of some type of berry syrup. Very sweet, and went nicely with the decaf Americano the waitress was kind enough to whip up for me. Magnolia is far outside my normal stomping zone, and Pink Salt's normal menu is a bit outside my normal price range, but it was a wonderful meal and I'm very glad they participated in SRW this year so I get a chance to give this wonderful place a try!

Such a cool vibe. The best Pisco sours, and I went to Peru. The cod was so incredibly tender and my friend's lamb was the same. A very cozy spot for a casual meeting or something romantic

Pink Salt is a very cool restaurant with a classy feel. We had a reservation for Seattle Restaurant Week, and I'm surprised it wasn't busier! The service was great too. This was my first time trying Peruvian food and it did not disappoint. The papas a la huancaína were so good, and the sauce was unlike anything I've had before. The tallarines with pesto were light and fresh. The coconut flan was also really good, I had wanted the passionfruit flan but they ran out so I opted for coconut instead and it was delicious. My only complaint is that the portions are on the smaller side, but that wouldn't deter me from returning.

This small, cozy Magnolia venue is the perfect date night destination. Romantic low-light atmosphere, expert service, delicious food. A small restaurant with a nice fireplace and table or bar seating, with the kitchen visible. The lamb shank (Cordero Pachamanquero) was hearty and rich with potatoes and yam and a thick gravy. The Pesto Risotto with Tenderloin was flavorful and satisfying, nicely seasoned. With no drinks or dessert we paid $45 each.

Upon entering the restaurant, the atmosphere as welcoming and warm. We were immediately seated. The staff was very nice answered all of our questions made fantastic suggestions. The food was absolutely on point and amazing done very properly and delicately the dishes had complimenting tastes, excellent presentation, and heartwarming tastes! I would definitely recommend, the cocktails also, equally amazing, $$$

The food and drink were INCREDIBLE! Delicious flavors. The inside is beautiful, a gorgeous decor. And the service was lovely. Highly recommend!

Truly a hidden gem! The decor and lighting were super cute and atmospheric, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the lomo saltado and the arroz con mariscos -- the second was quite possibly one of my favorite things I've ever eaten in my life. We also had some traditional cocktails with it; super yummy! Plenty of street parking around too, and in a cozy corner of Magnolia. Would absolutely go back again.

I am not familiar with Peruvian food so may not be appreciating this place properly but was an overall 3.5* for me. Tried Seattle Restaurant Week lunch here and found mild Peruvian influences. All the dishes we ordered were carb heavy. Casual big restaurant with fireplace on the right room and the bar area with a wall of pink salt. Sandwich de Lomo tenderloin, red onions, tomatoes on ciabatta with fries & jus 4* Portobello Quinoa Burger veggie burger (didn't come with cheese) & fries. 4* Aji de Gallina creamy chicken and rice $19 3.5* Tallarines con Pollo housemade pasta with spinach pesto, chicken breast 3.5* Pesto Risotto with Tenderloin risotto and tenderloin were a bit over cooked. We should have asked for more chimichurri $34. 3.5* Flan the passion fruit was tasty. 4* Alfajores are shortbread cookies with dulce de lèche filling 3.5* Located -closest to SW corner of McGraw St & 34th Ave W. Found parking on the street. -2blocks south of Magnolia Playground

We dined here while staying at an Airbnb nearby. The restaurant has a cozy ambiance and warm, inviting decor. We're not familiar with Peruvian food but we love pasta and Pink Salt does it well. I opted for the Tallarin Con Pollo, while hubby chose the Tallarines Huancaina Con Lomo. Both dishes were excellent--flavorful and delicious. Hubby's tenderloin was cooked perfectly and my chicken was succulent. Their pasta is handmade and oh, so delectable. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. We will surely eat here again the next time we visit the area.

Ok the last few days of actual summer, the weather became immediately cold and it finally rained. But I was determined to go to Pink Salt to fulfill my desire for Peruvian food. There is a outdoor patio which was cute. But due to the rain and the cold, I had to go inside. The ambience is great for a date (that low-medium lighting). There is a fireplace in one section. I can see it being romantic spot. I came after 7 so I missed happy hour but I was excited to try some dishes. They have QR codes on the tables. I would note that there were more items on their QR code menu than on their general website so you might have to reassess what you want to order. I was given corn nuts while I waited Because I had a bite to eat in advance, I couldn't eat as much as I would. I did get a pork belly slider, ceviche nikkei and I took a dessert to go (cheesecake with passion fruit/maracuyá sauce). It was really good! I definitely felt full after my experience. Shoutout to my waiter who was very sweet and made me laugh. I will definitely come back especially a) early enough for happy hour and b) early enough to get natural light to take better photos of the food

LOVED LOVED LOVED this place! We were in town for the weekend and found this GEM on Yelp. This restaurant was so cute with a touch of Peru. The service was great. The staff was friendly and willing to accommodate. Our waiter made sure we we're taken care of at all times. Everything we ordered had so much flavor. All the dishes had a beautiful presentation and met expectations. The ceviche tasted fresh. It had the perfect amount of salt, fish was cooked with the right amount of lime. We can't wait revisit this place. Highly recommend!

We went here for a date night. Overall vibe and decor was nice. They had complementary corn nuts which was unique and a nice surprise to snack on initially. The food portion sizes were good. I had the pesto pasta with chicken, which was ok, but not quite enough for 5 stars. The passion fruit flan reminded us of cheesecake more than flan, still tasted good, but a little strange on the texture.

Excellent service excellent ambiance happy servers who like their job, excellent menu if you are in Magnolia this is one of the few places you definitely want to enjoy!

I love their grilled octopus and Pisco Sour, especially the spicy one. The yuka fritas were a bit thick and not as crunchy as they should be. The ceviche was ok but I prefer the one at the place in Lynwood. Service attentive and ambiance nice. If your in the neighborhood, with a visit.

Best restaurant experience in Seattle. If I wasn't so full I would have kept eating. I think we tried about half the menu and frankly if I had visited earlier in my trip o probably would have asked to go again but unfortunately we only tried this place the night we left . Next time! The ceviche was amazing! Pisco sour was delicious and they made the cutest little lama in the foam! The other dish that blew our minds were the pork fried rice (truth be told I gave me friend a hard time for ordering this because I thought it was just going to be a meh plain dish) I was SO WRONG. This was the best fried rice I've ever tasted. So flavorful! The octopus was also amazing. I forgot what the green dish with the egg in it was called. That was my least favorite but my friend liked it. You should definitely check this place out if you find yourself in the Seattle area!

Peruvian inspired restaurant in the Magnolia neighborhood. It has date night vibes with fantastic food, including very fresh ceviche and an excellent lamb shank. These aren't traditional Peruvian dishes per say, but still give you a really good idea of the flavors you would find in Peruvian dishes. Lamb shank with a demi glace sauce and fingerling potatoes- it is huge and delicious Pan seared Sea bass over saffron risotto- risotto definitely isn't traditional, but there is a lot of seafood in Peruvian cooking Ceviche neikki - yellow fin tuna with Avocado, soy, and citrus marinade. So fresh and well balanced with crunchy, acid, and creaminess from the Avocado

Great spot for a date night. We went on a Thursday around 7:30 and there was live music (singer). Food was really good. I had the risotto with cod. Tasted amazing. Serving was huge (yay leftovers) and the risotto was piping hot. Service was prompt and attentive. Everything came out quickly. Overall had a great time and will be back. Vibe was little old school but it's nice and you can tell everything is done with a lot of care. I looked at some of the recent negative reviews and they're a little silly. One person complained about going to dinner on Valentine's and there being a prefix menu? That's just standard. Anyways check it out for yourself.
