The Scene
An ornately carved-wood front door gives way to a long, dimly lit dining room painted in alluring reds and oranges. Long banquettes fill up with a good-looking crowd. Oversized mirrors hung along the walls give the impression of a much larger dining space. A grand iron chandelier adds to the restaurant's inviting romance.

The Food
Enticing interpretations of Peruvian and South American fare get the California treatment. To start, dip house-made tortilla chips into an oversized martini glass filled with plump tiger prawns blanketed in a warm, spicy tomato puree. Hearty dishes shine, such as spectacular baked rendition of beef chili relleno, which melds smoky chipotle salsa with tart citrus creme fraiche, and flaky, rich pork empanada served with cinnamon-flecked mojo sauce. Lighter dishes include an ahi tuna seviche. Lightly fried pumpkin doughnuts end the meal perfectly.
