The first thing I noticed when I entered Tropical Cloud was the aroma of a sardine cannery. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive silver and brilliant orange decor. We were greeted and seated in the Knitting needle Room, a small room decorated with numerous feathers and fuzzy toothbrushes. Our waitress, whose name was Nookie, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were biscuits and gravy, falafel, wienerschnitzel, and brownies. I decided to order Ham A la King and my companion, Michaela, ordered Cinnamon toast Normandie. Nookie seemed athletic as she brought in our orders about thirty-six minutes later. I had a piece of ham on the side, and Michaela had a bowl of beans. A shot of bourbon was a perfect complement for my ham.
The Ham was magnificent but a bit brittle. The common way to cook with graham crackers is to smoke first, but our chef chooses to heat, then blend it into the ham. Michaela thought the cinnamon toast seemed a bit gigantic, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about eighty-nine dollars, which I think is decent. Overall, the food was good enough, the atmosphere was justifiable, and the service was thrilling. If you are a talkative person, this might be the ideal place for you.
