  I have to give a huge thank you to Corto Lima for completely turning around what could have been a stressful start to my bachelorette weekend. After a restaurant nearby unexpectedly failed to honor a reservation for 8 people, we walked into Corto Lima hoping for a miracle. Even though we were a large group and had no reservation, the staff was incredibly kind, accommodating, and gracious about finding space for us on a Saturday morning with such short notice. This experience gave me a completely newfound respect for the restaurant and the people who work there. Their hospitality genuinely stood out. On top of that, the food was incredible. The guac was especially delicious, and everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. What started as a disappointing situation quickly became one of the highlights of the weekend because of how well we were treated. Excellent service, excellent food, and genuine kindness go a long way. I will absolutely be back.

  We visited for the first time tonight. A table of 4 new to the restaurant. Every single person at the table loved their food. It's nice to have something different than the standard tavern fare that is the common American restaurant. Not serving tea is a little off, but didn't distract from the evening. We plan to go back. It was busy for a Monday night.

  I got pisco sour and anticucho. I'm Peruvian so I know those very very well and this place was amazing! My food was so delicious! And my drink just perfect. If I would live in Lexington, I would go this place constantly. 10 of 10.

  We are a wedding planning team that had the pleasure of partnering with Corto Lima to provide celiac-friendly meals for one of our couples’ weddings. The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional—thoughtfully prepared, beautifully executed, and thoroughly enjoyed by our guests. What truly set this experience apart, however, was the remarkable level of service. Upon discovering an additional guest requiring a celiac-friendly meal—information we had not received in advance—Sylvey responded with impressive urgency and care. She swiftly arranged for the meal to be prepared and delivered so quickly that the guest was able to dine alongside the rest of their table. This level of attentiveness and hospitality is rare and deeply appreciated. We are sincerely grateful to Sylvey for going above and beyond to ensure every guest felt accommodated and valued at our event. It was an outstanding experience from start to finish with Corto Lima. Thank you Sylvey for going ABOVE and BEYONE!
