Peruvian Seafood Restaurant

I’ve had slow service before in Latin America, and I know that when on an island, you operate on “island time,” which is really no time at all. (“When in Rome...”) This restaurant sticks with that mantra. I can't even remember the name because we spent most of our three hours there just waiting. All I know is that it's supposed to be a seafood restaurant with Peruvian influence.

It took fifteen minutes for us to get our menu after we were seated and another twenty-five for our waitress to come to us and ask for our orders. It was a highly recommended seafood restaurant, so naturally, we ordered the sea bass. To our dismay, there was no fish available at all that night, so our waitress left us, only to come back another twenty minutes later. How can a seafood restaurant not have fish?

We settled for shrimps and lobster in some kind of sauce that had a soup consistency. Both dishes were almost inedible, but we were so hungry that we reluctantly ate them anyway. Still hungry after picking on our food, we ordered their fried ice cream--ice cream inside a tent of lightly fried tortilla--which wasn't on the menu, but because someone told us about it, we were able to ask for it. We picked on that, too, just so we could go home with a full stomach and be able to sleep well.
