Review of Tumi Restaurant - CLOSED

Restaurant details
Reviewed 17 March 2017

I had seen a television review regarding this Peruvian restaurant and I looked forward to experiencing the exotic delights myself. Instead of ordering from the regular menu my husband and I were tempted by the "Earlybird Special" insert in the menu, which seemed liked a good value. All offerings were $12.95 including beverage and dessert. My husband ordered the steak, and I ordered the seafood linguine. We ordered house white wine, (sauv. blanc).The service was prompt, but there were only three other tables with occupants. They were generous with the wine, meaning a small glass filled to the top.I ordered a salad as part of the EB special and it was average. My husband loved the beef soup that came in a small cup. The two rolls in the basket were tasty and fresh, so we thought we were in for a treat. However, my husband's steak had some tough areas, and he ordered fries but got a baked potato--no problem though about that. When I got my dish it had one mussel, a few tiny scallops, three shrimp, about six thin squid rings and the rest of the seafood was cut so small, pencil eraser sized, it was difficult to determine what the bits were. A mild-tasting red sauce covered the linguine. For dessert there were two choices: ice cream and chocolate cake. Nothing special, except the small size, about the desserts. I would like to try this place again and order from the regular menu to see if what the television review was accurate about the delicious Peruvian entrees. I wouldn't order from the Earlybird menu again, because it wasn't any different than most of the diners in the area.

This is a high quality - mid-priced restaurant that serves really good authentic Peruvian food. I was skeptical initially, but was very pleased. Would go there again.

If you like Peruvian food, it's OK. You have to overlook the run-down shabby facility, and if you can do that, the food is decent. I had the rice and chicken and it was a little dry, but the flavor was OK. Probably won't go here again.

Went here for dinner, the ceviche mixto was very good witha generous portion, I order conchitas a la parmesana (parmesan shells) they were good, but never will reach the quality of the original peruvians that are done with very big shells, coral included, in USA do not allow the coral. My fiance ordered pescado a lo macho, the fish was breaded, I think they must ask if the clkient will like grilled o crispy. Chupe de pescado was very good. I recommend this place; you will find good food at very affordable price.

This restaurant has very good Peruvian food. We were happily surprised that they had entertainment on Friday night @ 9. The duo sang mostly Latin songs but they were willing and able to sing in English .
