A dream for theater goers and vegetarians! Just a quick drive or walk from the Kennedy Center, this is the perfect place to eat before a show. Also not far from Georgetown and great shopping. All the vegetable dishes are outstanding. Definitely try the rockfish!

We had a lovely waitress/server who came from Peru. She was awesome. Very helpful as this was our first time having Peruvian cuisine. She recommended the ceviche sampler. All were delicious. My husband had the chicken stew (Wonderful). I had the arroz con Marisco which was loaded with mussels, shrimp and squid. Both dishes were excellent. Then for dessert who tried the Suspiro. A lovely dulce de leche custard topped with meringue and a guava syrup. Lovely. Rich.
