Alexis' office holiday party was held at Destino, a place we had been before and enjoyed. Although it was a great environment, the food was not as good as we remembered. Perhaps they weren't used to cooking for large groups. The timing was bad and the amounts were off.

So a friend of a friend was in town, visiting from rural Illinois, so we all decided to go out to dinner on Thursday. Figuring he was somewhat culinarily deprived, I aspired to find a place that was a little out of the ordinary, and so tried, naïvely, to land reservations at Limòn. Now, I have no problem with places that tell you there's no availability when you call. What I do have a problem with is places that don't pick up the phone, routing you to a mailbox that's full so you can't even attempt to request a reservation. After a few attempts with the same results, I shifted gears and focused on another commendable Nuevo Latino restaurant, Destino. And hey, they're on OpenTable, which makes my life easier.

I don't know much about Peruvian food, but I'm determined to learn more. I have been wanting to try some more of the "nuevo latino" restaurants that have opened up around town recently so this past Friday we ate at Destino . Destino is Peruvian by way of the chef's mother. The menu is comprised of small plates and big plates and many of the dishes are contemporary takes on some very traditional Peruvian fare.
