At some point during dinner at Lima, there is a good chance you'll order something you can't confidently explain to the person next to you. That's part of the fun. The menu is packed with Peruvian flavors, unfamiliar ingredients, and enough ceviche variations to make choosing unnecessarily difficult. Some dishes arrive looking harmless and end up being the highlight of the evening. Others require a brief moment of trust. The restaurant itself is small, the kitchen doesn't seem interested in playing it safe, and by the end of the meal you'll probably have learned at least one new food word.
