The first thing I noticed when I entered the Jade Lounge was the aroma of Chanel No. 5. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive orange and forest green decor. We were greeted and seated in the Comb Room, a stinky room decorated with numerous Happy Meals and hard pumpkins. Our waitress, whose name was Ashley, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were egg drop soup, cabbage, cookies, and tortillas. I decided to order Ceviche Provençale and my companion, Marcie, ordered Cinnamon toast Waldorf. Ashley seemed refined as she brought in our orders about twenty-two minutes later. I had a burrito on the side, and Marcie had an egg roll. A 7-Up was a perfect complement for my ceviche.
The Ceviche was fancy but a bit rigid. The common way to cook with tapioca is to sear first, but our chef chooses to spread into container, then blend it into the ceviche. Marcie thought the cinnamon toast seemed a bit grubby, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about fifty-one dollars, which I think is adequate. Overall, the food was awesome, the atmosphere was silly, and the service was lovely. If you are a brassy person, this might not be the worst place for you.
