    Loved our visit to MrLobo. Arrived early (5.30 ish) as was pre-theatre dinner, so was quiet but still nice ambiance. Was instantly made to feel welcome by who I assume is the owner, who explained the concept and how it works. Chose from the interesting menu, but then pretty much changed everything according to the hosts recommendations. The food was amazing - we had the octopus, the bass cerviche, pork belly, lomo and rice. Only criticism would be rice recommended with the lomo was double carbs and unnecessary - maybe grilled veg would be better. Dessert and cocktails followed and were equally excellent. Was getting busy by the time we left, and the vibe was ramping up. but the host was still charming and attentive. Not cheap for us out-of-towners but glad we pushed the boat out this time. Would highly recommend.
