The first thing I noticed when I entered Madrid Gems was the aroma of Juicy Fruit gum. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive olive drab and white decor. We were greeted and seated in the Hair dryer Room, a big room decorated with numerous dead crows and golden tablet computers. Our waiter, whose name was Vernon, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were egg drop soup, clam chowder, sauerkraut, and Hamburger Helper. I decided to order Beef bouillon Godiva and my companion, Sebastian, ordered Pancakes Menieure. Vernon seemed bald as he brought in our orders about thirty-three minutes later. I had a piece of blueberry pie on the side, and Sebastian had an apple. A glass of lemonade was a perfect complement for my beef bouillon.
The Beef bouillon was funny but a bit ridiculous. The common way to cook with rum is to slow cook first, but our chef chooses to grill, then blend it into the beef bouillon. Sebastian thought the pancakes seemed a bit imported, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about thirty-five dollars, which I think is stupendous. Overall, the food was loathsome, the atmosphere was undistinguished, and the service was extraordinary. If you are a polite person, this might not be the worst place for you.
