This restaurant serves Peruvian food and also has another location in Jackson Heights. The location that I Went to was quite small on the interior, but the larger  tables make up for it. Its menu is quite small. I ordered the combo, which includes a sample of everything on the menu. The combo is great for two, maybe even three people. Servings are very generous. The famous chicken was very good, and almost reminds me of Boston Market. The salad was also great and is perfect for avocado lovers. The food is not anything that I found very new or exciting, but I was particularly blown away with the customer service. I can probably say it's one of the best I've ever had. My waiter was extremely kind and made sure that everything was great. It definitely adds to my positive experience here.

My first impression of this restaurant was that it seems to be a good hangout spot for lunch or perhaps dinner with a couple of friends or family. With a dimmer setting, spacious seatings, and TVs in about every direction, this restaurant feels like a place I can relax and enjoy a good meal, as well as watching a game. The employees are very prompt to greet you at the door. 

I ordered the half soy and half garlic Chicken Wings, a spicy Squid mix dish, and the "Drunken" Clam Soup. The chicken wings was nonetheless excellent, as this place does seem to be known for it's chicken wings. I particularly like the Soy flavored chicken wings. (They are a must-try!) The Squid dish was pretty good as well, but I must admit..I was too afraid to eat the heads. Because of it's bold flavor, it pairs perfectly with a pair of white rice. The clam soup was surely a perfect choice for a bitter cold night. The soup is generously filled with clam and some chunks of tofu as well. The soup has a very bold clam taste to it, and taste very authentic. I particularly love the name of the dish (Drunken Clam) as I agree it fits perfectly.

 Overall, the food was great, and service was golden. I feel that there's a lot of potential for growth for this restaurant. I would definitely like to revisit this restaurant again and try some of the other amazing  dishes on the menu.

What a wonderful spot in Forest Hills to discover! A nice and cozy place to grab a drink at the bar or have some lunch or dinner. With the candles; creating a dim lighting and the atmosphere, I personally thought it would be a nice spot to take your significant other for a date here. The service was incredibly attentive, and satisfying. He was very informative as he took our orders and was very patient explaining in detail he recommend as well as any questions we had.

To start off, we ordered the Many Cheese Mac, which you could add sausage, Bacon, pull-pork or japalenos. As for drinks, we ordered from the cocktails: The Manhattan, and the Johnny Black Sour. We also ordered the Half Smoked Ribs, the Decadent Burger which consists of: braised short rib, boursin cheese, fried onions, wild mushrooms, and demi glace. It also comes with a side of fries. For dessert, we decided to try the fried Snickers, which is topped with Bacon and a Bourbon glaze. Thought it was an very interesting combination with the Bacon, and enjoyed it very much.

Overall, great food and great prices. The half smoke ribs were only $15, as the whole was $28. The prices are very reasonable as for portions that will be sure to fill you up. I also especially like the fries. Sprinkled with light mozzarella and a perfect crisp and the right amount of salt, I might just say that I like them more than the fries at Five Guys. I would definitely swing by next time you happen to come to Forest Hills!
