Another surprise Phoenix location. I broke out of the norm once again and went to Eliana's for a lunch.
The food here is amazing. I was completely delighted by a new cuisine that I had never tried before. The deep fried banana and ice cream that our server convinced us to get was well worth it, even though I had no room left in my stomach.
If you haven't been able to tell from my previous posts, I am completely into the ambiance of a restaurant. This one was of the things that was lacking in this restaurant, but it also made it charming and homey.
The best part of the entire experience was our server. You could tell that he was part of the family that owned the restaurant and truly cared for his location. We quickly deemed him even more interesting than the Dos Equis man and decided that we needed to have some cocktails, and hear some stories with this man. There was something buttery in the way that he talked, a glimmer of hope in his voice, and a sense of passion about his business that really made you enjoy your experience.
I will be back. Don't you worry. I will be back. This time with more friends.
