Something told me to be adventuresome when my first choice for lunch was closed for the day. I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon here. I saw Pamela's and thought oh well, if I can have breakfast for dinner, why not try breakfast for lunch. When I walked in I saw the sign for the upstairs eatery and it piqued my interest.
I can honestly say I have no clue as to what Peruvian food is and even though I partook in this delicious place I still have no concept into the food except that it tastes amazing. We were seated almost immediately with menus in hand. For lunch this place was not busy in the least. Too bad for everyone else, because this is a great place to have lunch. I skimmed the menu but the specials board is what really caught my attention. I cannot remember the name of what I ate, but who cares, because it tasted so good that almost right after I finished my plate, short of licking it clean, I wanted more of the special! The special was chicken atop cheese curd and then topped itself with pesto. What an ideal combination of flavors. The special also came with rice I believe and the house salad. The salad was mixed greens with a combination of olives, walnuts and carrots. The dressing was the house dressing and not too heavy or tangy.
Our server seemed a little inexperienced, but I won't hold that against her. I am going to assume that she didn't know much about Peruvian food either. Even though she really couldn't answer a lot of our questions about the food, she was swift and made sure we were taken care of.
They also have shelves of Peruvian items that you can purchase if you are so inclined to do so. I did not while I was here, but it does give you something interesting to look at and start a conversation about during your meal.
