This restaurant claims to be the best Peruvian Cuisine in the U.S. and they have won awards. They have a lovely quiet setting, excellent servers, and yes, FABULOUS Peruvian dishes. We have had the prime ribeye steak with tacu tacu, the port stew, and homemade potato chips and yuca croquettes for appetizers, along with a nice glass of wine. We're going back for sure and recommend you try it for food and a location that is off the beaten track.

Winery. Owned by family of friends of ours. They have a small operation, off the beaten path, and make very good wine. Mike, the vintner and winemaker will pour the wines when you stop to taste. I love these small wineries, and this is an excellent one.
