Beautiful atmosphere and fantastic service. The food is good but disappointing in some ways. It takes elements of Peruvian food and mixes them up, sometimes making dishes that are a little too spicy, too concentrated and have too many different flavors going on. Portions are small, in general. The duck is well served, with 4-5 pieces of duck breast and a good amount of rice. The octopus tagliatelle was very small. It was a tiny amount of pasta with 3 pieces of octopus.

Ancora has dropped off. Food is disgusting now (except for the sable fish w/ quinoa and the sorbet dessert)Overly seasoned because they want to cover up the cheaper quality of seafood they are using now.The brussel sprouts were so disappointing, they looked so crispy when brought out, but when I had one it was this disgusting little soggy over seasoned fart ball.Most disappointing was the baked oyster and scallops motoyaki, it didn't have oyster meat! Not even one oyster meat, the waiter said it's baking with recycled shell. So in a dish, where the second word was oyster, it didn't have any oyster meat just the shell.Also my tea cup was dirty.Anyway, probably won't come back again.

Great atmosphere and very attentive staff.Sashimi was fresh and tasty as staff mentioned.Mussels were overcooked and started to shrink.Beef burger meat was something I didn’t expected. Pale in color, Very chewy and dense. Bun looked like buttery brioche type and I didn’t like it.

Stunning location. After a little beach stroll on a glorious day, I popped in for a snack and a glass of wine. Eric tended to my table, and was a consummate pro. The manager touched my table, and introduced me to a new wine varietal, that was just right with a beautiful "Sushi Pizza." I will be back.

Overall good experience. The servers were friendly and attentive. The ambient was nice and cozy. The appetizers (bread and sushi pizza) were very good. The main course could've been better. We had the shrimp risotto and the duck. Both could have had a bit more salt and taste. Overall, they were good. Drinks were really enjoyable. I had an old fashioned and it was one of the best ones I had in a long time

Sephora The general manager was very prompt and helpful in sending me an old gift card that I could not find . I really appreciate her efforts and timely manner. The restaurant experience was equally as great !
Exquisite dining experience! The view, drinks, foods, service, and ambiance… everything was perfect.They serve Japanese/ Peruvian cuisines, both of which we are very familiar with. There were not too much new twists in dishes but I liked it that way. Too many places trying too hard to be original nowadays.Our favourites were tuna tartare, crab causa, and roasted duck. Their cocktail was refreshing and the wine list was very balanced.Would love to come back in summer to try patio seating! Booked through first table app.

Lovely restaurant, breathtaking views and exceptional gastronomy! Bright ambient lights showed a lot of its elegance inside. Service is very good. She served our food and comes two minutes after to check how we liked our food. Creativity and flavour are key factors in making food interesting and this is Ancora's strength! Will be back for sure!

Food was delicious, a big fan of the ceviche. Sushi pizza is a must try, very nice take on sushi. The head chef was also very accommodating.

Place was mostly empty on a Saturday night. Many menu items were out of stock. Server basically ignored us after our first drink order which ruined any chance of ordering dessert or post meal coffee.Food was excellent though, highlights include the hamachi and duck.Parking also lousy as expected for Ambleside.
