Vibe: Cozy feel, slow drinks

The vibe at Chicama Peruvian is intimate, cozy, reflective of an eatery with thoughtful, homey decor that enhances its ambiance. However, an evening out may face minor hiccups - while the extensive drinks menu leaves an impression, the service tends to be slow, which might not be ideal for a packed date night.

    Cozy, homey decor creates intimate dining, enhancing overall restaurant ambiance

  • Okay Drinks

    Extensive drink menu left impression despite slow service issues.

  • Bad For Dates

    Crowded, slow service, and slightly claustrophobic space can dampen dates.

Perks: Ideal for quiet dates

Highly advantageous for some, Chicama Peruvian may not be the perfect fit for all - if you're planning a family outing or a gathering of more than six, look elsewhere. It’s not the venue for a large crowd, with a small interior and separate tables, which aren’t ideal for accommodating groups. Moreover, the parking is limited and tight, a recurring concern among visitors.

  • Bad Service

    Service can be slow and unremarkable, detracting from overall dining experience.
