Isolina

We visited on Friday, February 13th around 8:30 PM. We did not have a reservation, so we took the available seating. I was excited to visit this place for the first time, especially since I do not live in Peru and wanted to experience something nice while in Lima. Unfortunately, the experience with the cocktails was very disappointing. We first asked for the rocoto, and we were told it was available, but then shortly after they informed us it was not. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was extremely sweet. An Old Fashioned should not taste like pure sugar. It was unbalanced and honestly one of the worst I have had. My friend ordered a spicy margarita. She specifically mentioned that she does not like sweet drinks. The waitress assured her it would not be sweet, yet it was very sweet again. They even suggested something “similar,” but it clearly showed a lack of knowledge in preparing proper cocktails. In the end, we paid 90 soles for drinks we barely touched. I was so disappointed that I decided to leave after paying. I cannot comment on the food since we did not try it, but based on the cocktail experience, I would not return — especially considering I have limited time in Lima. I would not recommend the cocktails.

Excellent food and service. Generous portions.
