Frommer's Review

A change in chefs has added a touch of Peruvian fusion to the menu here, but the broader offerings still include a mix of various Asian classics and its modern offshoots. There's a wide selection of Japanese dishes, including a small sushi bar. You can start things off with some sushi or one of the many ceviche choices. For a main dish, I always enjoy the Thai-inspired grouper in a coconut-milk curry with fresh mango, all served in a banana leaf. The low ceilings and low lighting give this place an intimate (though sometimes claustrophobic) feel. The bar here is extremely popular on weekends, and sometimes features live music or DJs. The food is expensive, but definitely top-notch.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
