I went at lunchtime when it was quiet but I imagine it would be a friendly place to go in the evening. The service was impeccable, the food absolutely delicious and the wine I chose very drinkable given Indo not know a thing about South American wine. I will return having found it - it is pricy but for that food it is well worth it.

Very overpriced menu, small quantities and it took a lot of time for the mains, we waited for over 40 min . The quantities were for one person not to share, the menu price was misleading . To compensate they offer two glasses of the worst red wine I have tried in a very long time . It ruined valentines for us

The food was good but we weren't completely blown away with anything in particular compared to other restaurants specialising ceviche. The severs were kind and attentive but the service felt very rushed, almost like a Valentine's conveyor belt and we had to ask to slow down with the food service because there was too many plates piling up that it disturbed the atmosphere. The overall price was a bit higher than the overall quality from the evening, I feel like everything was just rushed and I can understand why the Michelin star was lost. For the price, the overall experience didn't match the price point and improvement should be considered.

We dined here and ordered the set menu. The food itself was very good - no complaints there. Unfortunately, the service let the experience down. Dishes were brought out without any explanation, and the wine was served at the wrong time, leaving us with two drinks at once. The waiter repeatedly rushed us, asking us to finish our plates, attempting to clear dishes before we were done instead of checking, and loudly smashing plates while clearing the table. I had noted on the reservation that it was a birthday, yet no acknowledgement or attempt to accommodate this was made. When I shared this feedback with the hosts at the end, the response was simply, “That wasn't me - I wasn't responsible,” which was disappointing. For a high-end restaurant, I expected much more. It's a real shame, as the chefs did a fantastic job, but being rushed through the meal and dealing with erratic service made the visit unenjoyable. I would choose to dine elsewhere next time.

Visited Lima for date night. Lovely, friendly staff; comfortable seating and good background noise levels. The food was amazing, and I asked the waiter for the recipe for the pesto, which he and the chef described for me. I'm not big on desserts but even I loved the vanilla flan. Recommended for a cosy date night.

Delicious food in a really well located and vibrant restaurant. The portions were very reasonable for a business lunch, and exquisitely presented.

A very lucky discovery on an extremely busy pre-Christmas Saturday in the West End. Booked in advance there was a 2hr limit but we never felt rushed. Food was delicious. Cocktails good too. Discovered a bar downstairs where you can comfortably wait, and more tables. Small touches like hanging our winter coats on arrival reflected good customer service, staff all friendly, helpful, welcoming. Will be back to try out more of the menu.

We enjoyed delicious food with a variety of tastes and flavours. Service was prompt and helpful . It is our second visit recently and we brought friends to share the experience . It did not disappoint .

Charlotte

Food was exceptional. Great cocktails. Service was very friendly and attentive . The only issue for us was that there was not a single other table in the restaurant which made for a slightly strange atmosphere. But that's not the fault of the restaurant as I understand they had a very large Christmas party in just before our booking so couldn't take any reservations over that time. Will definitely return for the excellent food and service .

What a lovely time we had introducing Lima to our friends! The food was great, well done to all in the kitchen for cutting back on the salt, everything tasted great! It was busy as always though we had a very early 4pm dinner. Anyhow, we'll be back soon for sure, after a big family lunch at Lima Cantina next week!

Going to Lima restaurant in London was basically similar to going in a small trip to Peru in itself. We loved our dining experience from the start to the end. The menu was a bit short and that is a plus as each dish was made with pure passion and dedication. The waiter was knowledgable with the menu and he had a very nice attitude while giving us his recommendations. All of his recommendations were amazing. We started our meal with classic ceviche and crab causa that melted in our mouth like butter. Later on came the scallops in a zesty buttery sauce. For the main course, we had the grilled octopus, charred bass and both were out of this world. Finally, the desserts have arrived and they were very very authentic flan and chocolate mousse with candied sesame. I would highly recommends visiting Lima and ordering all the mentioned dishes. Special thanks to the chef and the team for the memorable dining experience.

The food was outstanding. However what really spoiled the overall experience was the speed with which it was brought to the table. We all went for the set menu. Despite asking the staff to slow it down, we had not even managed to start into our ceviche before two main courses were brought to the table with two waiters moving things all around our table so as to squeeze everything on. With that we got a trite excuse of they had tried to slow down as much as they could. That proves that either they simply didn't care about the customer experience or they lack control - either of which are poor outcomes at best. Such a shame as the food was stunning.

Outstanding food and service, every dish has been carefully designed and presented. The food is so tasty and worth every penny. The Peruvian wine was excellent too.
