Night out with the wife - we felt for a good seafood meal but from either a new place or somewhere we haven't been to in some time. Hence our decision to check out a place we haven't been to in a few years - Segundo Muelle.
We arrived at 8pm with no reservation (on the spot decision) and they accommodated us with a selection of 3 tables to chose from. We chose a table for 2 on the right hand corner of the restaurant - cozy location that allowed for a bit more intimate setting.
Service was prompt and courteous - their menu continues to be a delightful selection of Peruvian cuisine that made us take our time to make our selections.
For the starter, we chose the Ceviche Segundo Muelle - very fresh mix of corvina, lagostinos, pulpo in a light white sauce. A great way to wet the palate! She ordered the Pescado a lo Macho - a fish mix in a classic Peruvian yellow sauce served with white rice - very fresh and flavorful, blends well with a Chardonnay. I had the Chupe de Lagostinos - a classic Peruvian Prawn soup - excellent flavor with a good count of prawns with a fried egg sitting on top. Loved it and would have it again.
We topped off the meal with a Crocante de Manzana - essentially an open Crunchy Apple pie - which tasted like the apples were just picked from the farm. Good mix of tart and sweet that made for a fitting end to the evening.
Overall, this is a top notch restaurant that typically requires a reservation to ensure you can get a table. We highly recommend this place for you seafood and Peruvian dishes seekers.
