My first, and most likely the last time coming to this place. Unlike some other reviews, I did not have an issue with rudeness of the staff. But my pet peeves are other customer service related issues, like WiFi access. I am trying to connect to the locked signal, I asked my waitress (Ruby) for the password, and she said she doesn't know. She said it's for the credit card machine only. Seriously??? Com on!!! What place in Ballantyne does not have a free WiFi now days. If the Sam's clubs, McDonalds and grocery stores have it, why wouldn't they.....anyway, like I said, my little pet peeves. Decor was inviting. I thought it could have been little busier for a lunch, perhaps if it was run differently. For lunch, food was little bit on the expensive side. Most dishes are above $10. I know that prices are going up in that direction, but most places are trying to still keep the numbers in single digits. Food was decent, but the whole experience does not deserve double digit price. As for my dish, lunch menu item #2, chicken soup with plantain, rice and avocado. The combination just didn't work for me. Individually each item tasted OK, but I was not sure what to eat with what. Perhaps I just don't understand Peruvian food. Too much cheap starch. Soup was little on the salty side, with few pieces of chicken, potato and yucca. Than, once I am done with soup, eating bland rice with plantain was like eating a white bred with doughnuts. I suppose that avocado was there to bring some color on the plate. Another detail, my pet peeve (as I get older, I get more and more of those - old fart) avocado vas not even taken out of its shell. I see that as not very hygienic, especially when the the shell still had a PLU sticker on it. It was probably taken out of the box, never washed, cut in half and put on my plate. Maybe it was washed, but the way it was presented to me in the plate, I am tempted to believe that it was not. Serving avocado in a shell, to me spells lazy, sloppy an not creative. If it was taken our of the shell, they might have gotten one more star. I ask myself, should be going there again? I can only answer that with another question...why? So many other choices...
