Street Corn Salad

7/17/2022

FPO and I have been to this Twin Peaks twice and both times we've had really good experiences. We usually ask for booths because they've got high plexiglass partitions separating the tables and it's just reassuring that they didn't remove them after the pandemic "ended".

This second trip we had Kirsten as our server. She was friendly, attentive, very knowledgeable about the menu, and gave a lot of ordering hints and suggestions. We ordered the Chicken Street Corn Salad, $12.99. It has iceberg lettuce, charred corn, lentils, bacon, jalapeños, Parmesan, pico, green onions, cilantro, tortilla strips, and creamy lime vinaigrette. I won't lie, I pulled that info off their online menu. They've got QR codes on the tables so you can scan it with your phone and be directed to their website. They've also got paper menus for the traditionalists (but they're not as accurate). The chicken was a little dry but everything else in the salad was delicious.

We also ordered the Peaks Sampler $13.99 - fried pickles, buffalo tenders, and mozzarella bites. The mozzarella bites were my favorite of the three. I think next time, we'll just order that as an appetizer.

FPO also wanted to try the Blackened Fish Tacos - $10.49. It has wild caught cod, house made avocado smash, slaw · jalapeño honey vinaigrette, pineapple, sour cream, pico, cilantro, flour tortillas
and in the side they have fire roasted salsa & tortilla chips. We ran into a bit of trouble with this dish. I'm allergic to pineapple and ask for them to keep it off. It looked like they did. Kirsten said usually there are pineapple chunks on the taco. But, I think there may have been small pieces of pineapple in the slaw or something because I'm pretty sure I ate a few pieces before I realized it. Kirsten removed the plate, took it off our bill, and fortunately, I didn't have a reaction. Won't be ordering the blackened fish tacos again.

Anyway, all in all it's a nice place. A lot of tv screens showing a variety of sports games and shows. The staff is invariably friendly welcoming. We don't go often but we'll definitely go again.
