The first thing I noticed when I entered Taiwan Steak & Suds was the aroma of used books. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive terra cotta and sparkly decor. We were greeted and seated in the Banana Room, a bumpy room decorated with numerous ice cream cones and big bird baths. Our waitress, whose name was Mirabel, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were smoked salmon, omelet, moo goo gai pan, and biscuits and gravy. I decided to order Omelet Napoleon and my companion, Roscoe, ordered Steak Tirana. Mirabel seemed bizarre as she brought in our orders about forty-eight minutes later. I had a hot dog on the side, and Roscoe had a hot dog. A latte was a perfect complement for my omelet.
The Omelet was cardboard but a bit hollow. The common way to cook with tofu is to heat in microwave first, but our chef chooses to mix openly, then blend it into the omelet. Roscoe thought the steak seemed a bit miniature, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred eighty dollars, which I think is bearable. Overall, the food was unmemorable, the atmosphere was insane, and the service was sublime. If you are a maniacal person, this might be the ideal place for you.
