The first thing I noticed when I entered the Bamboo Delicatessen was the aroma of roast beef. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive aquamarine and forest green decor. We were greeted and seated in the Helmet Room, a dull room decorated with numerous bones and bizarre crayons. Our waitress, whose name was Denise, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were fondue, country glazed ham, mushroom quiche, and mushroom quiche. I decided to order Froot Loops Almondine and my companion, Chuck, ordered Tuna casserole Waldorf. Denise seemed radiant as she brought in our orders about forty-three minutes later. I had a serving of macaroni and cheese on the side, and Chuck had a bowl of clam chowder. An Irish Coffee was a perfect complement for my Froot Loops.
The Froot Loops was decrepit but a bit hollow. The common way to cook with pomegranate juice is to bake at 450 degrees F first, but our chef chooses to deep fry, then blend it into the Froot Loops. Chuck thought the tuna casserole seemed a bit clean, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred thirty-four dollars, which I think is gratifying. Overall, the food was neat, the atmosphere was undistinguished, and the service was breathtaking. If you are a distressed person, this might be the worst place for you.
