The first thing I noticed when I entered Western Orchid was the aroma of hamburgers. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive orange and rose decor. We were greeted and seated in the Lego set Room, an odd room decorated with numerous pigeons and fabulous curling irons. Our waitress, whose name was Shelly, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were ice cream, corn on the cob, biscuits and gravy, and banana split. I decided to order Hot dogs Le grande and my companion, Mirabel, ordered Ceviche Brochette. Shelly seemed cunning as she brought in our orders about six minutes later. I had a pancake on the side, and Mirabel had a roast Cornish game hen. A Manhattan was a perfect complement for my hot dogs.
The Hot dogs was queer but a bit old. The common way to cook with fresh peaches is to braise first, but our chef chooses to smoke, then blend it into the hot dogs. Mirabel thought the ceviche seemed a bit disgusting, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about seventy-nine dollars, which I think is abominable. Overall, the food was impressive, the atmosphere was average, and the service was splendid. If you are an obese person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
