Restaurant: Lemon Tree

207 Gray St
Houston TX 77002

One of big poppa's workers invited us out to dinner to celebrate her bday. It was also a last dinner of sorts since that weekend would be her last day at the office. We went to a Peruvian restaurant in midtown called Lemon Tree. I wasn't impressed with anything about the restaurant. The decor was drabby and the food was overly salty. I ordered the Tallarin Saltado de Lomo o Pollo and big poppa had the Pollo Saltado. We started to wonder if saltado meant salty and we were too stupid to realize it but the co-worker just helped me to decipher it as saute. Big poppa and I pretty much had the same dish but with different carbs. There was a live singer who everyone at our table kept dogging. Supposedly she was singing old songs instead of more current and upbeat songs so that they can dance. You know those latin people, they love to dance. The highlight of my night was being able to take fotos of bday girl's lovely little baby girl Ally. She's got these incredibly huge gray/hazel eyes, fair porcelain skin and a dark hair that makes her look like she has this pixie cut. Not only was she super cute, she was so good through out the entire meal. No crying or fussing. I've noticed that most of the kids that we know are really pretty good. There's maybe like two or three kids that can get scary with the crying. I won't name any names. Let's just say that one of the dads warned us prior to us visiting that their kids crying rivals that of a pterodactyl. Haha. I almost forgot to mention that they give you complimentary chips with this really yummy cilantro aioli dipping sauce. So good.
