Came for dinner on a Friday night. I had the Churrasco steak, which was great. My wife had some sort of beef dish in a garlic, pepper sauce. Also great. We really enjoyed ourselves. The location is a little bland, but the food was great.

This a restaunat for non-peruvians.
Nice set up, tasteless food
If you want to impress a non-peruvian you could go, just eat as little as you can

Too Expensive.The service was too fast. The waitress brought our appetizer 5 thin slices of a potatoe and a velveeta sauce that was suppose to be feta. Entree came w/appetizer so we ate them together. Not authentic peruvian. Fair ($62)2 adults

We stopped by Candela on a Friday night after getting several recommendations. Service was friendly, though the two people working the front seemed overwhelmed by the amount of business they were doing. We were brought some fried bananas with a chile (or pepper, anyway) sauce to munch on while studying the menus.

Two appetizers and two entrees later, we were stuffed. The Peruvian food is certainly a change, and we agreed that everything was tasty. The beef dish I had (which was similar to boneless short ribs in a strong sauce) was a bit hard to cut but not so hard to chew. Either sharper knives or a bit longer on the heat would take care of that.

The menu is so varied that it will take several visits to sample enough dishes to get an idea of their breadth of skill in the kitchen, but we're willing to put forth the effort.
