An amazing Peruvian restaurant that truly delivers on flavor! The lomo saltado was absolutely outstanding, perfectly cooked, well seasoned, & easily one of the best I've had. Having recently traveled to Peru, I can say the authenticity here really shines through in the dishes.

The ceviche was slightly on the fishy side for my taste, but everything else was spot on. From the quality of the food to the overall experience, it was fantastic. Definitely a place I'd highly recommend if you're craving authentic Peruvian cuisine!

It is a good place for a nice lunch. The food taste is amazing. Fresh & spicy. We tried 4 different dishes. Spicy & dessert. All of it was good.

Honestly the main dishes are expensive, most of them turn around 30-40$ but the price does reflect the quality of the dishes. The fish was really fresh, the limonade & desserts were delicious. Expensive but in some ways worth it. It won't hurt to go here when you want a special treat. Also, the menu is really big, everyone should be able to find an option that would please them.
I will definitely go try it again to see if that was a lucky day or if the quality is consistent.

My partner & I visited Sol y Mar with friends & were genuinely excited to try it. Unfortunately, the food experience was a letdown for us.

We don't eat seafood or fish (simply not our thing & hate the taste), so we both ordered the steak with peppercorn sauce. Sadly, the meat had a very strong fishy aftertaste, & the fries tasted like they had been cooked in the same fryer as seafood. Because of this, we had to send both dishes back.

We reordered another beef-based dish, hoping for a better outcome. While it was slightly improved, there was still a noticeable fishy taste. Since we were dining with three other friends, we didn't want to send our plates back a second time & reluctantly ate what we could.

That said, the service was decent. Our server was attentive, professional, & genuinely kind throughout the evening, which made the situation easier to handle.

Overall, the hospitality was great, but for people who don't eat seafood, cross-contamination in the kitchen seems to be an issue in my opinion & unfortunately, this significantly impacted our experience & left us disappointed with the food.

Lunch special is out of this world! What a great deal & an amazing way to go & try traditional dishes. For people who don't know Peruvian food this a great place to get introduced.

Some of their dishes are amazing, some others non so much, it's quite tricky to find the good ones in their HUGE menu but I've found that if you order the Leche de tigre in a weekday it wont be as fresh as in Saturday midday for example. The meat dishes are fine!

Peruvian cuisine with lots of charcoal grilled dishes choices. The lime juice is a must & the seafood choices that we took were amazing.

To celebrate Mother's Day, we were greeted by an amazing team, especially by the server Happy Boy who gave us a warm welcome. The dishes were all delicious. Definitely a place I'll come back to!

Service needs improvement but the food is divine. Will return & try other dishes on the menu. There's something for everyone.
