Our last culinary adventure took place at the Eureka Grill in Surprise, AZ where we were pleasantly “surprised” by a fantastic lunch. Since we both tend to play in the east valley, we never dreamed that the west valley would be such a hot-bed of great restaurants, but Eureka Grill proved to be well-worth the drive out of our comfort-zones.

We decided to meet at Eureka Grill for lunch mid-week. The restaurant was still moderately busy despite the fact that we arrived after the peak lunch hour.

After much back-and-forth, we decided on our menu-picks; Emily opted for the herbed chicken breast sandwich with roasted sweet pepper, feta, and basil pesto, while Julie decided on the Portobello mushroom sandwich with grilled onion, roasted sweet pepper, Asiago cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette. Both of the sandwiches were served on a deliciously warm and chewy ciabatta roll and came with a choice of a side; Emily chose the seasoned fries, while Julie went for the house gazpacho. They were both totally satisfied with their decisions.

 The service was as impressive as the food. The owners are a constant presence in the dining area, and our adorable waiter kept our water glasses full through our entire meal. This can be a very difficult task considering we both guzzle water like it’s going out of style.

Since we both love our sweets, we budgeted our meal to include the chocolate pots-de-crème and boy–was it worth it! The rich, creamy dessert was the perfect ending to a great meal.

And are you ready for the best part? This wonderful lunch cost us just over $22! Looking at the bill made us feel like Archimedes when he discovered the method for determining the purity of gold and allegedly exclaimed, “Eureka!”

…Oh…it all makes sense now…
