The first thing I noticed when I entered Bill's Gems was the aroma of pineapple. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive khaki and magenta decor. We were greeted and seated in the Stapler Room, a large room decorated with numerous cages and gross primroses. Our waitress, whose name was Alissa, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, lobster bisque, and prune pudding. I decided to order Lamb curry Du Jour and my companion, Jules, ordered Ceviche Venetian. Alissa seemed dark as she brought in our orders about forty-six minutes later. I had a strawberry shortcake on the side, and Jules had a piece of candy. A secret potion was a perfect complement for my lamb curry.
The Lamb curry was peculiar but a bit filthy. The common way to cook with garlic is to sauté first, but our chef chooses to simmer, then blend it into the lamb curry. Jules thought the ceviche seemed a bit original, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about fifty-two dollars, which I think is sufficient. Overall, the food was fair, the atmosphere was justifiable, and the service was terrific. If you are a fascinating person, this might be the worst place for you.
