The first thing I noticed when I entered Doc's Retreat was the aroma of success. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive lavender and jet black decor. We were greeted and seated in the Knitting needle Room, a large room decorated with numerous keys and damaged Hostess Ding Dongs. Our waiter, whose name was Ivan, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were hors d'oeuvre, cabbage rolls, applesauce, and refried beans. I decided to order Fried chicken Bolognese and my companion, Dax, ordered Roast Cornish game hen Wellington. Ivan seemed vacuous as he brought in our orders about seven minutes later. I had a hot dog on the side, and Dax had a plate of prime rib. A cup of bouillon was a perfect complement for my fried chicken.
The Fried chicken was used but a bit electric. The common way to cook with avocado is to deep fry first, but our chef chooses to toast, then blend it into the fried chicken. Dax thought the roast Cornish game hen seemed a bit speckled, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred sixty-eight dollars, which I think is staggering. Overall, the food was mind-boggling, the atmosphere was dazzling, and the service was nonsensical. If you are a cocky person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
