Ayawaska Hilltop - Novato (CA)

5 /5 Jo R: Food was fantastic, service was fast and friendly, atmosphere was chic/elegant. Loved this place! We ordered all appetizers: beef medallions, salmon salad, quiche, scallops, calamari, ceviche, chicken empanadas and then for dessert had the churros and chocolate volcano. All the food was excellent! Highly recommend, will definitely go back!

5 /5 Allezmoy B.: This establishment exceeded my expectations. The stunning views from the hilltop, combined with the elegant decor and ambiance, created a truly memorable dining experience. The food was fresh and flavorful, with each dish showcasing the chef’s love and attention to detail. The generous serving sizes made it easy to share the delicious meals with my family. We had a fantastic time celebrating a birthday here, and I’m already looking forward to returning with my family in the near future.

5 /5 Gigi Lund: Ayawaska Hilltop is by far my favorite Peruvian restaurant! From the moment you walk in, the customer service is smooth, welcoming, and truly inviting. The servers are extremely friendly, attentive, and never let you wait too long-theyre always checking on you with a smile. The space itself feels top-notch and exquisite, making every visit an experience. As a Peruvian, I can honestly say this is the closest Ive felt to being back home. Every plate takes me straight to my childhood the flavors are authentic, rich, and filled with the true taste of Peru. You dont just eat here, you experience Peru in every bite. If youre looking for the real taste of Peru, this is the place I wholeheartedly recommend. Ayawaska Hilltop is a gem, and it has earned a special place in my heart (and my palate!).

4 /5 Burstock: On a hill, with spectacular views of the surrounding area, this restaurant offers an interesting Peruvian inspired menu. We shared the El Clasico ceviche with halibut and mixed fried calamari to start. The ceviche was really good with fresh fish. The calamari not so good, bland and dry coating, although the squid and octopus inside was nicely cooked. The steak risotto was beautifully cooked and the rice was in a very tasty sauce. The Lomo Saltada was good, nice steak, onions and sauce. The fries were bland and not crispy, a bit disappointing. The Pescado A Lo Macho was excellent, a whole fish fried to perfection with yellow chill sauce. Service was great, attentive and friendly. Atmosphere is good as well with Peruvian decor. Get a table on the deck or by a window for the view. Recommended.

Great drinks, pisco and tequila based etc. One of us got The Piranha in a piranha shaped mug Dinners were incredible. I had SALMÓN CON CREMA DE PORO pan seared salmon in homemade leek sauce served with veggies & potato. Check pics for other dishes. Great view of ....Mt Diablo? Yup Great attentive staff. Churro and Bombas for dessert. We all had a great time. Will return with partner in the future.
