    Complimentary chips and citrusy salsa(really bright and light).
    Pheap S.

    I am a huge fan of Peruvian cuisine! And this spot was soo yummy! Staff was friendly and fast. Atmosphere during day is family appropriate and night time is great for date night as well. Had live music going and we kinda wanted to get up and dance. Definitely coming back with more people. Outdoor dining with patio lights.. ugh.. such a vibe!

    I got the seafood stew, the clam chowder, and octopus! I recommend the seafood over the other two cause it was really good with the coconut rice. The stew was very flavorful. I didn't have to wait and lie on a Saturday at 1 PM.

    Chorizo Empanada

    The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with high ceilings, nautical decor and beautiful views along the water. Staff are very friendly and attentive. I started with the honey moon bay which had chamomile infused gin and the pineapple and honey made it a bright, flavorful drink. My partner got the berry mocktail and he loved the fresh fruit and mint accents. We ordered multiple appetizers to share. We started with the ceviche pescado, it had a delicious lime bite and tasted fresh- they did charge us extra for chips, it was not included with the order. My other favorites were the shrimp tequenos and chorizo empanadas. The tequenos were perfectly crispy with amazing dipping sauces with a yummy shrimp and cheese inside. The empanada also had amazing flavors, and the dough consistency complimented the meat perfectly. I was not a huge fan of the Lagostinos, I didn't like the smoky sauce on top, but my partner loved it. Overall, it was a great experience and beautiful spot to watch the sunset and enjoy a great meal.

    Ceviche Sampler
    Divya K.

    Perfect celebratory lunch spot to complete your half moon bay trip. The menu had so many options and everything we ordered was extremely fresh. I'd definitely reccommend trying the ceviche sampler - wasn't a huge fan of the chips we had to order on the side to scoop them but the fish was sooo good. It's also really filling. The palta rellena was a unique dish that was good too. Yucca fries made for a great side. I did find the tequeños de camarones to be just okay. We came at 4 PM on a Saturday and it was a beautiful day to sit outside. The ambiance makes you feel like you're on vacation. However, despite the restaurant being basically empty, the service was pretty lacking. It took our server a lot of time to clear out plates, bring our boxes, and get us the check. Usually I'm pretty patient but it felt that even after noticing that the first time we were left unattended the pattern continued.

    The weather was perfect in HMB when we went and we sat in the covered patio. There was live music playing at the time on a Saturday afternoon. There was a nice view of the blooming lupine and the ocean in the back. We got seated pretty quick upon arriving and I notice the inside of the restaurant nicely decorated with Peruvian items spread throughout. Our waiter was friendly and patient in waiting for us to decide whether wanted. We ordered lomo saltado, ceviche and chicken anticuchos. Everything was great! The fish was fresh, the sauces were perfect

    Had our reservation time moved due to Holiday but Absolutely loved our experience at La Costanera in Half Moon Bay! The oceanfront views alone make it worth the visit -- watching the sunset while enjoying amazing Peruvian cuisine was unforgettable. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ceviche was perfectly balanced with bright citrus and fresh seafood, and the lomo saltado was tender and packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality and authenticity in every dish. The cocktails were okay but the Arroz con Mariscos and Lomo Soltado was amazing. Service was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. The staff made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. If you're looking for a special dinner spot with incredible views, delicious food, and great ambiance, this is it. Definitely one of the best dining experiences in Half Moon Bay!

    This was such a delicious dish! The rice is kinda like arroz con leche but paired perfectly with the dish. Veronica was so sweet and helpful, she had great recommendations. We also ordered all three ceviches and best one is the pescado one! I would definitely order this again, didn't disappoint! also loved the seating and ambiance, perfect late evening dinner spot.

    An absolute stunning location combined with a menu that showcases Peruvian Cuisine's finest points, La Costanera has it all for an impressive night out. Tucked far away from the city, the restaurant used to be in Pacifica, where in 2012 and 2013 they were awarded a Michelin star. The new location is in Half Moon Bay, still complete with ocean views. The first (!) bar is just past the host stand and before the staircase (!!) leading to the main dining room. The decor is phenomenal and the lighting during dinner sets it just right. The food. Fantastic. Exquisite. Fulfilling for the heart and soul, not just the stomach. -Pulpo a la Parrilla- an excellent small plate. Smokey from the grill and full of citrus from the salsa criolla -Chicharrones de la Casa, Calamari- no surprises here, a nicely breaded and fried calamari, with peppers and onions to boot. -Black Cod Aguachile- with leche de tigre and accompaniments. A fantastic special of the night, truly exemplifies fresh, citrusy flavors with a delightfully buttery cut of raw black cod -Chuletitas de Cordero- lamb chops with potato gratin and chimichurri. Very rarely do we order lamb chops, but we're so glad we did! Beautifully cooked to just medium rare, it must have been glazed or marinated in something because there was no typical gamey taste with these chops Friends also ordered the Ahi Tuna Tartare, Lomo Saltado, and Pescado a lo Macho, which were all inspiring, fantastic, yes. We also shared a plethora of desserts: -Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta- with organic Papua New Guinea (coffee dusting probably), passion fruit redux- loved the touch of coffee with vanilla -Chocolate Carlitos- flourless chocolate terrine- a favorite dessert, solid points, no notes. -Lava cake- a classic, served just right; hot enough to flow but not enough to burn -Alfajores- cookie sandwiches with dulce de leche- classic caramel cookie sando, can't go wrong! Cookies had just the right amount of crumble to them as well. Fun doesn't stop there! We also had a flight of Pisco Sours: traditional, passion fruit, chicha morada (looks like jamaica, tastes way "spice"ier) We really hit it out of the park with this one. A memorable night with our friends on a parents night out, gorgeous scenery surrounding us inside the restaurant and outside on the water, and delicious, crave-able plates/drinks. A MUST try for those wanting to escape the busy city, luckily only a few minutes away!

    Came for my brother's bday, helmed by Peruvian chef Carlos Altamirano, it frequently appears on the Michelin Guide. The food and cocktails are a blend of traditional and modern and the interior design features the same theming. We were seated near the outside doors which is a terrible position, it felt like a column was blocking our view and every time a patron or staff would go in or out we would be blasted by cold air. We've had plenty of Peruvian so we tried some atypical entrees. I don't know if these are very unpopular to order because it took a really long time for the mains to come out after the appetizers and each entree had something majorly wrong with it. Gin Tonic: Reminded me of how it is in the UK, has more controlled garnishing of lemon peel, basil, and berries. Tasted fine. Ceviche Tasting: sample sizes of fresh fish, ahi tuna, and a mix of fish, shrimp, squid, and mussels. The portions were great for our table of 5 and they were especially good with the house made potato chips. These were so good we were really looking forward to the entrees. Yuca Croquettes: Yuca stuffed with chorizo and raisins. With Peruvian yellow chili pepper curry. Tasted incredible but the garnishing made it feel dragged through a garden and completed with some of the more delicate flavors. There was also way too much curry on bottom and all the hard work forming and frying the yucca balls seemed wasted because the curry made it soggy. Peruvian Paella: Mussels, squid, clams, and prawns with a Peruvian pepper base and shrimp broth. This was super watery and confused me, a lot of the yelp pictures also looked like rice in broth and I thought maybe Peruvian Paella is supposed to be like that but I looked up some Peruvian Paella recipes and it doesn't seem wet. Pescado a lo Macho: Roasted fish over seafood stew (Mussels, clams, calamari, and shrimp), mushrooms, in arocoto-paprika sauce, and served with coconut rice. The fish and mushrooms were fine but the rice was undercooked and hard, it was the base for the fish and every bite was unpleasant because of it. Service started fine and then became so slow to the point I had to walk around the restaurant looking for our server so we could get the check. For the accolades and price I felt like the dishes had too many basic mistakes and the service wasn't great, we enjoyed the Peruvian food truck that used to be parked outside much better.

    Our cocktails - Smoky Spark and Pusco Sour
    Stephanie L.

    My husband and I made a belated Valentines Day trip to Half Moon Bay and whenever we go there we make sure and visit La Costanera for drinks and dinner. This time we had a Pisco Sour and a Smoky Spark, both excellent. I had the Arroz Chautauqua (a delicious Asian-inspired fries rice with shrimp and ribs and Peruvian spice) and my husband had my husband had the grilled Salmon. We want to give a special shoutout to Karen our server, who took such good care of us and also gave us great information about Peruvian food and wheee to visit if we go there.

    I reverently visited La Constanera for the second time (because the first time was so delightful). Staff and Service: - There is a host stand outside, inside downstairs, and inside upstairs - There are options to dine both inside and outside - All servers were kind Food and Drinks: - Pisco Punch: this was such a fun drink! Flavorful, strong, and tart - Margarita: go-to classic. Delicious and citrusy - Lomo Saltado: despite having ordered this dish during both of my visits, I forgot to take pictures both times. As my favorite Peruvian dish, I always dive in without thinking. Definitely recommend this dish - Roasted beet salad: flavorful and refreshing - Oysters: we ordered three as we had eaten some nearby beforehand. They are on the smaller side, and come with a fun sauce Miscellaneous: - Parking is available via street parking and a parking lot nearby - Reservations can be made vis Open Table on their website - Outdoor dining has fire pits and heat lamps

    Half dozen oysters

    The special cocktail was pretty good--slightly on the sweet side, but still tasty. The grilled octopus was tender and well-cooked, though the portion was a bit small. The oysters and grilled fish were very fresh, and the fish in particular had great flavor. The fish portion was also on the smaller side, but the taste really stood out.

    Lomo Saltado
    Gema B.

    First question do I recommend this place? YES YES YES this place is amazing!! The location is great with lots of parking but the real feed back is the beautiful ambience the restaurant holds beautifully decorated, I love the high celling and welcoming host Al is the man! The best customer service ever! I miss that kinda of hospitality. We ordered the seafood paella and the Loma Salado both great choices very happy with our decision so flavorful I didn't want the meal to end! The food was amazing! Over all 5 stars I can't wait to come back and try more!!

Chicharron is chunks of crispy fried pork belly - great when you want some fatty porky indulgence. The red onions pair perfectly to cut through the richness, and the Peruvian corn nuts are a fun addition! Pollo Peruana is stewed chicken thighs. Tender and fell off the bone, but could've used a bit more salt. Still tasty with a nice side salad. Lechonada peruana is stewed pork belly chunks. Fatty juicy tender, and the pork comes on a bed of saucy fries for extra heft. I like to get it with extra salad instead of rice. Super good.

The restaurant was a little more than half full when we had dinner there on a Friday night and the ambiance is lively but not loud. We ordered a variety of dishes and everything was delicious, with very generous portion sizes that left us so full (with leftovers to spare). The ceviches were bright, limey, and tart in the best way, the chicken wings were crispy and juicy, the papa rellena was especially interesting (almost like an inside-out, deep-fried baked potato) with olives and raisins that were a pleasant surprise, and the lomo saltado was as comforting and dependable as it usually is. To top it all off, they even offer Peruvian beers, which was the perfect way to wash everything down. The location is a little bit odd but easy enough to find and park (there is plenty of parking across the main street in front of the BevMo if there isn't any directly in front of the restaurant).

It does NOT look spicy, but it is! I got the La Ronda Plate which had 3 items: combination plate of fried calamari, fish ceviche and seafood rice or seafood fried rice....everything was really good and fresh. It had flavor and really was cooked well, unlike the seafood and rice I had in Peru where my complaint was no flavor. Heck, go here and it will save you the plane fare! Got their Chicha Morada, pricey at $6.95 with purple corn pineapple & spices, I would probably not get this again because it was kind of like a bland drink to me...instead I would get their passionfruit drink next time. Both of us got their homemade flan which was a 5/5! Would definitely come back to try more dishes in the future.

    Food below par. The "Chaufa con mariscos" or "Seafood fried…read morerice", the seafood had a leathery texture, Overcooked. The rice itself no "chaufa" taste. The "Tallarines verdes con bistec" or "Spaghetti with creamy pesto and NY steak", we send the NY steak back as it was very wiry and hard to cut. Subbed with meat from their "Lomo saltado", ir was OK. The creamy pesto sauce missed the flavor profile, too garlicky. The "Papa rellena", The potato was OK, the filling overcooked.

    We came here to celebrate an early Mother's Day brunch, and it was such a fantastic experience! The…read moremimosas were amazing, with a great selection of juices and the food was absolutely outstanding. Khin was our server she mentioned she was fairly new, but you wouldn't have known it. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and took great care of our entire party. Thank you, Khin! We had a large group, and I really appreciated that they accommodated us inside since it was a bit chilly that day. They seated us in the front area, which we loved. Everything we ordered from the appetizers, to the main dishes was packed with flavor. Nothing missed the mark. Truly one of the best brunch experiences in town! I had the chilaquiles along with a champagne drink that came with different juice options and fresh fruit such an adorable and fun presentation. My family couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was, including the dessert. We'll definitely be back for future family gatherings and next time, we're excited to try the outdoor patio seating!

    We had brunch here with no reservation on a busy weekend!…read more Ambiance: 5/5 Beautifully designed and spacious restaurant that offers outdoor seatings with heaters. Pet friendly too! Service: 4/5 Our waitress was friendly and efficient. Food: 4/5 Guava pancakes are highly recommended. Fluffy and not so dense with delicious guava sauce that wasn't sweet at all. Veggies omelette - Tasty and loved the potatoes that came with it. Tuna salad - HUGE pieces of THICK tuna; well worth the money! Salad was incredibly fresh and tasty. *Free refills on coffee* I'd highly recommend this place and will be back.

    We just arrived in Redwood City after 10 hours on the road and just wanted to find something close…read moreby to eat. Found this place randomly on yelp and decided to try it with zero expectations. As soon as we walked in, we were hit by the live music and fun atmosphere. We ordered the NY steak for our daughter. We were going to order it cooked medium for her but most places usually overcook the steaks so we went with medium rare. This place does not overcook their steaks. It came out medium rare and maybe rare in some parts. It tasted great but we did try to cut around the rarer parts for our daughter. She ate half the steak and loved it. I ordered a seafood dish in tomato cream sauce and it was so good mixed with rice! My husband got the saltado with fried fish and that was good too, but maybe the fried fish on fries was a little too much fried stuff. Everything tasted great and service was friendly. I loved the music but it was a little too loud for my daughter even though we were pretty far back already. Definitely want to come back if we ever visit the area again, but maybe bring earplugs for my child.

My family and I would always come here for birthday dinners or stop by on our way back to San Jose from San Francisco. Walking in always feels warm and welcoming with all the Peruvian paintings and decor throughout the restaurant. One of my favorite things is introducing my friends to this place because they always end up loving it too! The food here has always been consistently delicious and never disappoints and the customer service is great as well! If you're looking for authentic Peruvian food with a welcoming atmosphere, this place is definitely worth visiting.
