Pisco Gastrolounge

The restaurant is bright with colors and the staff is very friendly. The food was delicious. This place is highly underrated. I will definitely be back.

This is my second time here - the first time was opening week and the second time was last week. A few things are different- the food the second time around was not the same I had the first time. The arroz chaufa was great the first time with a large shrimp on top and all, this time - no shrimp and lacking flavor. The pulpo was decent- again - the first time I visited everything was fantastic. Same with the lomo saltado - the steak was tough. Not sure what happened. The ceviche was still very good. Service outstanding and ambiance fun and welcoming.

On my first visit to this restaurant, the enticing images on Instagram motivated me to try it out. My husband and I chose it for a date night. While the menu offered a unique fusion of Asian-inspired dishes rather than traditional Peruvian fare, my shrimp fried rice initially disappointed as the rice was hard and undercooked. Switched to beef lo mein, where the onions were a bit large, but the beef was well-prepared and tender at a perfect medium. I advise against opting for medium well or well done as it may result in toughness. My husband enjoyed the seafood plate with white rice, and the yuca fries and grilled shrimp were highlights. Personally, I might not revisit, but I'd recommend it to family and friends for them to form their own opinions.

This place has potential. The food is delicious and beautiful to look at. However, their menu is small and our server lacked knowledge on their wine selection. They did not offer to ask the bartender for help until we asked them to do so. The location of this establishment is in uptown Charlotte so parking is hectic. My sister did park at a parking deck and the establishment never asked to validate our parking ticket. We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and she did get a choice of a free birthday dessert. She chose a tiramisu but instead got a slice of chocolate cake. We decided to stay after hours because it turns into a club at 11pm. The club has two levels, with the main level playing Latin music. The DJ did play cumbias as requested by me however it was more of the commercial cumbia music. The basement level had more English, rave type music with a tiny dance floor and bar. Overall, it was an ok experience.

This place has SO much potential, but seeing it is recently somewhat of a new establishment, im hoping they are making serious work with making it better. Visited for a friend's bday dinner celebration at 8:30pm. The place is located in the same spot where "The Roxbury" nightclub used to be. Next door to Tequila House. It is a restaurant that turns into a nightclub after hours. Our waitress, phew, bless her heart. I know she was trying her hardest, but she really was giving off, barely seasoned and new to the crew vibes. She was super sweet and friendly, though. We ordered Prosecco, and we're told they actually do not have that. When asked if they had anything aimilar, she just said idk and left it at that (no type of help). A few other friends ordered the "Kings Crown" cocktail and apparently they ran out of that drink which is weird since it was still early on a Saturday and you would think they would stock up on those ingredients since it's their most "popular" drink. They ended up ordering a few other drinks from the menu, but none of them were a favorite among the group. A lot of the drinks tasted super watered down, so it left very little encouragement to order more drinks. We ordered the Causa Sampler, Pulpo Anticuchero, Lomo Saltado & the Arroz de Mariscos. Now, the Lomo Salvador was definitely a favorite amongst the group, and so was the Pulpo dish. Very tasteful ND very well marinated. The Arroz de Marisco was not a favorite. It looked more like soup that was topped with heavy serving of cheese, and we just could not stomach it. They did bring out a Tiramisu for my friend, but it was actually just a piece of chocolate cake. Even the server said it was just chocolate and didn't know why they advertised it as a Tiramisu. Overall, nice vibes and lovely restaurants. It was VERY empty for a Saturday night, and even during club hours, it was fairly empty. Seemed like a lot of people were going next door. I feel like they can definitely do better.

Let's get into it Because the restaurant is located in uptown the parking isn't great. There's a garage close by but they don't validate. So take into account $10 parking fee. We arrived at 9pm on Friday night. There was a wait but we got lucky and got a table right away. So i suggest having a reservation. The restaurant is well decorated and they were playing music. Most people had on heels and were dressed nicely. There seems to be a private dining area room and downstairs they have a bar, dance floor and music. I ordered the passion sour as my cocktail. It was very strong and didn't have any passion fruit flavor at all. It was still good but if you're looking for something on the lighter side, i would suggest something else. We also ordered a mule which was good. Lorena was our server. She was very nice. We asked for some plate recommendations, she said the lomo salteado was the most popular. She didn't check on us as much as you would expect but we were ok with that. Now the food: We ordered the lomo salteado and the tacu with lomoBoth were good and had good flavor. But nothing really that stands out. Also the dishes were cold. I do think Both plates were a good size. We ended up having left overs. I do also wish the menu had more of a variety of items.

I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. The food, music, and service were all great. I definitely recommend you try the purple corn drink. It was delicious.

The service was horrible! They tried to upcharge us after paying the bill saying we owed for a drink that they messed up on. Don't recommend.

Took us over an hour to get our food and then over another hour to get our checks. They were out of almost every ingredient. They did not tell us out loud that 20% gratuity was already added. There was one waitress who barely spoke English, for 3 tables of over 10 people which was incredibly unfair to not only the waitress but also the customers who had to wait over an hour to be waited on while 3 managers just stood around with their arms crossed leaning against the wall. The drinks and food were somewhat decent other than running out of ingredients, they literally ran out of vodka.

Excellent authentic Peruvian food! All the staff in the kitchen are Peruvian which explains the quality to the food. Skip the random sushi on the menu and stick to the classic dishes. Service was awesome --Ricky was pleasant and attentive! I enjoyed watching the videos on the large screens. Reminded me of our trip!
