All the wait staffers were scampering around getting ready for the evening crowd.

I've been curious about this place for a long time so I finally tried it for dinner tonight with my…read morehusband. Like probably most Americans, I haven't tried a lot of South American cuisine so I didn't know what to expect. I guess I was expecting something like Mexican food. Well, it's definitely a lot different than Mexican food. Peruvian food isn't very spicy and the seasonings are different, yet still tasty. There a big Chinese influence on Peruvian food, too. I got the Lomo Saltado, a popular Peruvian dish with stir-fried beef, onions and tomatoes served with rice and French fries. My husband got the Chaufa al Wok, an oriental Peruvian fried rice with chicken. The fries kind of threw me at first. I wasn't expecting that. The dish was very good and had a nice flavor. My husband loved his dish and thought it was delicious. With both of our dishes it was interesting to see how much of a Chinese influence there is. What my husband absolutely loved the most is their homemade horchata. It tasted different than Mexican horchata so he asked what was in it. Our server said it was made was cacao beans instead of just rice and cinnamon. It had a pale brown color to it, too. I also liked the seasoned corn nuts that came with two different sauces--a sweet one and savory one. We both thought the prices were a little high but not so much that we wouldn't come back. The service was very good. Our server was friendly and helped us decide what to order. She was very knowledgeable about the menu items. At the end of our meal both she and the owner (I think) asked us how we liked everything and if there was anything they could have done to make things more enjoyable. I mentioned that my food came out much earlier than my husband's so I was almost done by the time his came out. The owner apologized for the wait and we really appreciated that. They also serve empanadas, pupusas and tamales. We're going to try these the next time we come back. Someone at the table next to us ordered the pupusas and they looked yummy. We were pleasantly pleased with how tasty the food was despite being a lot different than what we were expecting.

We started our meals with a glass of beer, then ordered our dinners. Tonight, my wife opted for the Sweet Potato Gnocchi with grilled shrimp (see picture) - at our server Chelsea's suggestion (Chelsea was great). While I usually prefer trying different dishes vs. ordering what I've had before, it was Wednesday and I'm a sucker for specials...so again opted for Walleye Wednesday (see picture). While we both enjoyed both dishes after sharing tastes of each, the highlight of the meal was the Campfire Pie (that Chelsea recommended) along with a scoop of ice cream (at our neighbor's suggestion). Check it out in the picture and be sure to give it a try!

The moment we crossed the threshold, we were utterly struck by the breathtaking grandeur of the space. The décor is an absolute triumph monumental, lavish, and deeply impressive. It possesses that rare, magnetic energy that makes it the quintessential destination for a glamorous, exciting date night out. We were seated elegantly, and our waitress provided a masterclass in bespoke service. She was wonderfully attentive, walking us through the evening's offerings with a grace that made us feel instantly warm and welcomed. For my main, I simply couldn't resist the Chicken Biscuits. The dish arrived in a crisp fifteen minutes, showcasing a beautifully prepared, exceptionally fresh chicken breast alongside the most delicate biscuits. Now, it traditionally comes paired with a signature sauce, but my palate simply cannot tolerate anything spicy. When I requested a modification, our lovely waitress handled it with absolute poise and perfection. Between the stunning, palatial surroundings, the flawless hospitality, and the exquisite cuisine, it was an absolutely thrilling evening. Proudfoot & Bird is a magnificent jewel in Des Moines, and I shall most certainly be returning to grace their dining room again very soon!
