We visited the restaurant to celebrate our graduation last December and everything was AMAZING, the food, the people, the mood.They really made us feel like family and made our little celebration even more special. Thank you!

3.5 Stars . Our Peruvian guests invited us to this restaurant. According to them there are two Peruvian restaurants in town and this one was less expensive but better.We arrived early on a Thursday night and experienced no wait . Waiter was friendly. One of us had a Pisco sour that was ok and very strong. Appetizer was a sample platter . Mahi Mahi Ceviche ( Delicious) , Ceviche de Pascado (good) Picarones ( meh) , Mussels ( I did not try but others liked) . Hubby ordered Lamshank and thought it was good , lomo saltado ( good). Others had bistecca steak with chimchurri . Overall food was good but just not for me . The atmosphere was lacking too. The food in my opinion was way overpriced . not my cup of tea unfortunately

Food is so good!! And it came out quickly. Perfect portions. We did sit right next to the bathroom so we wish we could have sat elsewhere but it still ended up being great.

We loved Villa Peru. Our first visit. The food was great and the service was excellent. The noise level was low so it was easy to carry on a conversation. We will go back again soon.

Here on business and I can't pass up a Peruvian place for dinner. I was here on a Wednesday. The place was not too busy. I sat at the bar and was taking to Charles the bar tender. Great guy. We had a good conversation. He gave me some recommendations. I ordered the 1/2 Chicken, rice and a side of beans. I got a few different sauces, ranging from mild to spicy. I even mixed some of them together. When the dinner arrived, it looked awesome. The presentation was very nicely done. I started eating quickly so I didn't take any pictures, but trust me, this was allot of chicken. The rice and white beans were good. The chicken was excellent. Full of flavor and tasted really good. I was nice and full when Charles asked about dessert. I settled on the doughnuts. While eating, I got to meet the man. Owner, papa Walter. Awesome man. We talked for a little bit then he had to get back to work making more good food. This place has been here for 7 years and I know they will be here for many more years. If you're in this area, you must try this place. It will be worth the trip. Nice for a date, special occasion or just plain dinner. You will love it.

The staff was amazing. I'd never had that type of food and they explained it all, what it was, how to eat it. I didn't feel stupid for asking, which made me comfortable to order and try more things. Definitely going back to continue the menu. Thank you so much!!

We went last April for my mother's 91st birthday. They sat us in a hallway, directly across the door to the kitchen. We also had the evening's entertainment right next to us, with the speaker right behind my mother's seat. Most of our conversation involved the word, "What?" We had made reservations and they knew it was my mom's birthday.I have never felt more disrespected at a restaurant. I am just now writing this because the restaurant came up in a recent conversation. I hope they have improved. I did mention all of this to the hostess on the way out, and all that I got was a tight lipped smile and a shrug. Not what one would expect from a restaurant like this.

Was not impressed. Bartender was also waiter so he didn't have time for any attention on us. Refills of drink didn't get taken care of. Worst was the beef was dry and tough. My daughter was celebrating her 21st birthday and her chicken was soaked in soy sauce making it excessively salty. No one cared to ask us how our meal was and the staff started taking our plates away when we were not even done eating. Disappointed.

Very nice and popular place to enjoy Peruvian recipes. They offer raw seafood as well as cooked which is smart since my wife won't eat a sushi meal. She ordered the tenderloin of beef that was almost tender enough to cut with a fork. I had the pasta with shrimp and loved the cheese flavor in the pasta. We also had a bottle of "high altitude" Malbec from Mendoza that was delicious. Downside is the restaurant has limited tables so our table was not ready when we showed up for our 6pm reservation. Next time we visit I will likely do an earlier or later reservation as well as avoid end of the week.

We had the special. Valentine's Day menu and it was all sooo good. Wonderful, fresh flavors and innovative cocktails. Our waiter made the experience wonderful. Would definitely return to try their regular menu.

I loved the ambience and our waiter was super nice. The calamari wasn't the greatest but I loved the plato al lo pobre! The meat was tender and the sides were absolutely delicious!

I made a reservation at 7:30 it was busy after being told that they would have a table shortly. At 8:20 was still waiting, the worst part of that was four parties were sat who had later reservation times than mine. Very poor management unorganized and not a pleasant experience at all. Avoid at all cost and do your self a favor. Unacceptable I just left after waiting almost an hour to be seated. I wouldn't recommend this resturant to anyone.
