The ceviche was the best item we had. The paella was good as well. The cauliflower was okay, the topping was not super flavorful and the scallops were not cooked quite right for that melt in your mouth feel.
Everything was very tasty however for the price point I would have expected it all on point.
Good spot if you want to nibble and drink wine, not a good place bulk season aha

Unfortunately, Ratio was a big disappointment. We have fine dined and street dined in many countries, (including Peru), and this is barely Peruvian and most definitely not fine dining. The menu sounds sophisticated enough and the food is nicely presented, but it really lacks in execution and flavor. All dishes were incredibly bland. The mocktail I had was supposed to have notes of lavender, coriander and fennel, but it tasted straight up like an overly sweet lemonade. The lamb empanadas had no seasoning. At all. The ceviche was also very boring, although oversalted. The server was sweet, but unskilled. For this price range, there are a dozen other restaurants in Columbia that deliver way more creative and much better prepared food.

My husband and I went earlier this year. Wonderful environment. You wouldn’t expect the restaurant you find in this particular plaza. The service and food were amazing. We really enjoyed the chaufa con carne.

Yum! My wife and I stopped in en route from Charlotte to Columbia and it was fabulous. We tried 5 plates, which was just about perfect for 2 people. Each was quite different and each was wonderful. The papas bravas, squash tempura, tacos pollo, ribs and scallops. I would get each again but there were several others I’d love to try too. Hope we can get back by there sometime! Highly recommend.

This place delivered!
It was a quiet and relaxing atmosphere with unique drinks and dishes. I had ceviche, ribs, and the tempura squash with a side of aji verde.
All was so good, and I can't wait to try the rest on another date night.

We also enjoyed the drink and the Latin American wine selections.

It was move-in weekend and we were looking for a change of pace something outside the box. We heard about this restaurant a little bit out of town and decided to go check it out. It’s very unique cozy and the food was excellent. If you’re looking for somewhere outside the box, please go check this place out. The service was top-notch and the food was excellent We will definitely return.

We had an incredible dining experience at this new Peruvian tapas restaurant tonight. Our party of four decided to try everything on the menu, and it was a culinary delight from start to finish. The food and cocktails were nothing short of amazing.

Standouts for us included the scallops, patatas bravas, sirloin, and pork ribs, but honestly, every dish was a winner. The flavors were bold, authentic, and beautifully presented.

The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff making sure we had everything we needed. The cool and stylish decor added to the overall fantastic ambiance.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy some top-tier Peruvian cuisine. We can't wait to come back!

** 7/5/24 Returned for a family celebration at Ratio, enjoying the lovely outdoor patio. The food was delicious, with our favorites being the tacos de pollo, wontons, tempura squash, mussels, papas graces, and pork spare ribs. The watermelon salad was incredibly refreshing. Liz, our waitress, was attentive, insightful, and kind, making our experience even better. Highly recommend!

My sister shared that the food at Ratio is fresh and delicious, and she highly recommends it. She loved the Chicken Tacos, Pan con Chicharron, Mussels, and Gochujang Wontons. Definitely worth a visit! Great for date night.

We had an amazing experience our first time here! The food is outstanding, served in smaller portions, family style, so you can try a little bit of everything. Service was great and the food came out fast. It's our new favorite spot in the area, not many others that even come close!

Kid-friendliness: We brought our 7 year old with, it's definitely a family friendly restaurant.
