Did the shrimp empanadas give me away?

Thanks for the extra round although I really didn't need it! I've become a lightweight. I'll be sure to say hello next time, I promise.

Went tonight and was going to listen to the live music, but after a couple of pisco sours was ready to head home before the music started. The guys were setting up downstairs just as we were leaving.

From a review standpoint, the service was laid back and friendly, but could have been a tiny bit more attentive (had to ask for water and was hard pressed to get a napkin, which is not good because I'm messy!). But defintely very nice vibe. I liked the atmosphere on the deck and really enjoyed the food. For me, the Jaleita was the best thing I had, but the ceviche was also delicious. I could have had a couple of each! We liked the Papas Rellenas a lot but thought the tamales were just okay.

Overall, liked the experience and really liked the options that the menu offers. The portions are pretty generous so it is easy to fill up on a few dishes without breaking the bank.

Will definitely go back and try to get a later start so I can hear some music.

Turtle.. I ate upstairs on the deck last night and we were not offered water. the waiter was being run ragged because he kept running downstairs for set ups ( cutlery and napkins) and extra ice and candles. Piero came upstairs during the meal and sat with us but he was busy as we left so I didn't get to point out the obvious... There needs to be extra plates and glasses and cutlery and candles and matches on that upstairs level just to make it easy for the wait staff to give good service. No big deal.. just a little detail.

We just came home and passed by and the music was happening. The doors were open and the music sounded great.

Veets, I think you're right, if they just had some more service items upstairs, it would be helpful. When we got our first dishes, we didn't have any separate plates to put them on and had to wait for them. Like you said, just one of those details and it will likely be addressed eventually. As long as they have the big stuff like the food worked out, I'll give them a couple of months to work on the small stuff! I hope they got a nice crowd for the music. Next week's jazz should be good.

Already fixing that...
Im organizing the new station upstairs....
Thank you for coming,.,,
but come on people....brooklynian people... you have to say hello to me.

Went to Aji last night. Had an amazing time. Great drinks, delicious food, and wonderful service. The garden area is beautiful and the live music was good. The owners and the chef all came out to make sure everything was okay and they even gave us a round of sangria on the house for my birthday. It's that kind of special attention that will keep me coming back for more. Hi Piero!

Depending on how late it is, I never minded the music that carries out of the restaurants and down my block. It's nice.
Maybe it's just me.
:?

Yum yum yum I went for drinks yesterday and it was great. Piero has the best bartender, she's really amazingly nice and generous.
The passion fruit martini is absolutely delicious. So are the pisco sours.
The never ending supply of homemade corn nuts are addictive.


I'm hooked. :cheers:

Aji does do brunch.. I will check for you and see when it starts.

By the way tonight...JAZZ starts at 7:30

Oh... and they have a website and you could just give them a call. I haven't had brunch there but from what Piero says brunch is a little more towards American traditional with a little Peruvian twist. The weather will be great this weekend so sit out in the back garden. It is lovely.

So my sister will be in town this weekend and I love the cocktails here and those addictive corn nuts! But not sure if the food-stuff has settled down and become consistent.

Has anyone been back for dinner recently and what did you order?

PS.. Piero, call me crazy, but I would love to see those corn nuts sprinkled with salt, a bit of chili powder and a squirt of lime. Mom used to do that with peanuts.. yum yum yum....
