Llama Inn

I came here one evening on a whim and was fortunately able to get a spot (highly recommend reservations here if you can!). The interior of the restaurant is dim and spacious, but the music was a bit loud when I went so it was hard to hear the person I was with.We got the crispy squid ceviche, catch of the day, and the black sesame dessert. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the crispy squid ceviche as it came with a nice dipping (?) broth that I absolutely loved. The catch of the day was soft, tender, and had an amazing sauce. And, the black sesame was an unexpected dessert/flavor to try at this Peruvian spot, but I loved it. Portions are a bit small, but everything was worth it.

Sad to say this will probably be my last time dining here. Llama Inn used to be a place where you can order anything on the menu and EVERYTHING was stupid delicious and amazing. Now as prices have gone up, service and quality has definitely gone down. We had issues with our two steaks and had to send both back. Then they came back out at two different times and at two different temperatures after we were told "it just comes medium". The ambiance is great and I guess that's what you're paying for. Previously we'd take a car to Llama Inn and home as a treat for a great dinner but now it's just another overly expensive night out going.

First name Llama, last name Inn. Known for its playful Peruvian flair, this trendy Williamsburg spot feels fittingly inspired by Peru's beloved mascot, the llama--Machu Picchu vibes included.I stopped in on my way to a birthday in Brooklyn after a friend recommended it. Arriving to a packed house, I asked if there were any seats at the bar for drinks and dinner, and they were able to seat us quickly. We had a two-hour window due to reservations, so if you're visiting on a busy night, walk-ins are possible, but reservations are definitely recommended.I ordered a drink while waiting for my friend, and ended up having two before they arrived. The cocktails were fantastic, especially their small-but-mighty martini--it may look tiny, but it packs a punch! (Consider yourself warned; it made the next morning a little rough, though we admittedly kept the night going afterward.)The appetizers were fresh and thoughtfully crafted, with a clear emphasis on quality ingredients. Just keep in mind, the dishes are small; after four or five plates, we still felt a bit peckish. So, if you're hungry, go for a few extra proteins or carbs to fill up.All in all, Llama Inn had great prices, quick service, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a lively night in Williamsburg with delicious food and cute cocktails.

Overall pretty good. Pretty small menu though. We had the pea appetizer, the mango curry, the calimari/squid ceviche, the steak tartar, and the catch of the day. The calamari, steak tartar, and pea appetizer were amazing. The rest was ok. They had chicha morada as a drink which was exciting, you don't see that often.

My favorite restaurant in the city 8 years and counting! Everything is always amazing

Gorgeous interior and absolute gems on the wait staff! The food is also incredible, but way way way over priced. The Latino in me was appalled at paying $100 for lomo saltado. The dish barely had any meat in it anyway basically paying $100 for mostly fries. It was delicious yes, but I don't think I could justify over paying that much again. Likely a one and done here or would come back with like 4 people and split it. Unfortunately loses a star for the price.

Cute, quaint spot , perfect for date night If you want to watch your pockets, I would suggest that you skip the initial appetizers, for the price and portion we could've done without. But the medium and Lodge play where the star of the show although they come with the price tag.( $100 for the Lomo ) every bite seemed to be worth it. The lobster if you're a seafood lover was amazing and the sauce it's cooked in you could literally pour that on everything . Will definitely be coming back here .

This was a really delicious, creative meal with plenty of vegetarian choices. It's expensive, but worth it.Snow peas - had a really nice crunch to the peas themselves, and from the toasty quinoa topping. The sauce had a fresh, herbal flavor.Jalapenos - a crispy fillo pastry like texture, with a creamy interior and a delicious, tangy sauce on the side. Like an elevated jalapeno popper.Asparagus ceviche - the asparagus was fragrant and had a nice snap to the texture. The leche de tigre is a chilled potato and leek soup, with some fresh tartness to call back to a regular ceviche. The parmesan crisp added a nice crunch and savory, cheesy flavor.Roasted beets - creamy, tart, and just the right amount of sweet. The beets had just the right balance of earthy flavor. The greens lighten up the dish just the right amount.Mint "flan" - I almost skipped dessert and am really glad I didn't, because this was probably the best dish. The custard is incredibly soft, not as firm as typical flan. The syrup wasn't too sweet, and the layer of foam and mint syrup on top added a unique touch.

Well, it is in a nice neighborhood in Brooklyn and the restaurant has nice decor. However the food... , "nada que ver". Started off with a crispy squid ceviche at $26. It was a bowl of Leche de Tigre with a side of calamari. We ordered chicha morada for $13 each. The glass was only about 4/5 full and 1/4 of that was froth and not chicha . It was not sweet enough. The anticuchos were two pieces for $16 and it was too spicy to eat. Didn't even taste like beef heart. The lamb sausage for $16 came out like two pieces of mini breakfast sausage on a mini roll. The pork escabeche was so so at best. Maybe the food here is good, but it wasn't tonight
