It is Wednesday, middle of the day... I decided to take my family of 4 (two small kids, ages 5 and 8 and my wife) to lunch as it was my day off. We have been at Cebiche-Bar several times before, but this place is rapidly getting worse by each visit. Today's incident took us overboard and we will never go there back again. Here is how it all came down... 1. Hostess was young and rather rude. She approached us in Spanish and when I asked if she spoke English, she gave us an attitude immediately. Be ready to be treated as a "second class" citizen unless your Spanish is fluent. 2. There were 7 available tables at the time and 2 of them were set for 5 people. We were told that since we are party of 4, we cannot sit at the tables that were set for 5. At the same time, all tables for 4 were taken by the parties of 2 or 3 which made no sense. When I pointed that out, the young hostess was getting even more agitated by our presence and questioning her authority. She did everything in her power to make us unwelcome and send us home, so we left. 3. Since my wife and I ate there last week, we took pictures of the metal baking pans dishware that the food was served in, see below. It was filthy dirty and chipped pieces were exposing the metal underneath it. Food was pretty good though but we struggled with English again as our waitress spoke NONE. Manager is also NEVER there to raise any concerns. 4. The restaurant automatically adds 18% gratuity to any check, like it or not. If you not happy with a service or food, just too bad, you are out of luck as your English is not going to be of much help to voice your concern. 5. I suggest you bring your own sanitizer as none are offered or available. In addition, tables and seats ARE NOT being sanitized or disinfected upon patrons’ departure as we stood there for 10 minutes and saw how poor cleaning occurred between the turnovers. *** Summary: Food quality and temperature is good for the most part, even though salty at times. Dishware is horrible, unpractical, oversized, and dirty looking. Service is atrocious most of the time unless you speak Spanish. Hostess leaves a lot to be desired and needs to go back to hospitality training. But during pandemic, in our opinion, cleanliness and disinfection is as equally important and that was a huge letdown as that was none-existent. *** UPDATE - 1 DAY LATER *** Response from the owner that is NEVER at his restaurant nor he mentioned his name, was as anticipated - subjective, combative, with unwelcoming tone and utterly untrue. We stand behind the statements above. Restaurant was not sanitized after several tables were cleared. Hostess showed attitude towards our lack of Spanish. Restaurant had 7 tables available at the time and turning away a family with 2 small kids could and should have been handled differently altogether. We are not sure how exactly they have received all of the positive reviews but time will tell. We surely will never go back there again and we will make others aware of their true "customer service". Unfortunate experience and poor service from the top down.

The food was really good , we had fried rice , ceviche and fettuccine on a green sauce. It was a little pricey but they give you a lot of food .

You will feel like a long lost friend coming home for the first time after years of being apart. At least that's how I felt the first time here. GianCarlo, and his family of hospitable servers are truly here to serve. Must try whatever they suggest. The "purple drink" with star anise & cinnamon is both refreshing and addictive 💜!!! (Don't say I didn't warn you. We had the ceviche triple-play (trio). With shrimp and cordova. Also the Chaufa de Marisco (seafood fried rice). It was served very quickly, very fresh and delicious. Everything you want in authentic Peruvian dishes +++ plus ➕ the service with genuine joy in everyone's faces. Seating was amenable for 2 to as many as 12 (as I could see the banquette accommodating a large party). Loved the vibe, the aromas from the kitchen, and the overall experience. Lastly, the bathrooms belong in architectural digest. Will be back for certain!! #LocalGem #GoodEats #theresthatfoodie #Peruvian
