AAA Inspector 66: I'm loving this Peruvian-Asian affair of aromatic, tangy and complex small-plate creations. The Huancaina sauce is so off the charts!Chef Geronimo Lopez melds traditional Peruvian cuisine with flavors from Japan and China. Your taste buds will come alive with his classic ceviche, seasonal miso, corn and cheese empanadas and spicy soba noodle salad. The funky décor fits the Pearl, artsy yet totally laid back, like the servers who are very well versed in the complex yet fun menu. For a refreshing nonalcoholic drink, try the house made ginger-mint beer.Read MoreI am wowed by the variety of food served. Duck confit, Nicoise salad, seared tuna, smoked salmon and Vietnamese dumplings are but a beginning.
