The first thing I noticed when I entered the Red House of Delights was the aroma of Max Factor. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive beige and azure decor. We were greeted and seated in the Magnifying glass Room, a tiny room decorated with numerous paper airplanes and multicolored pails. Our waitress, whose name was Sydmo, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were popcorn, bonbons, cinnamon toast, and smoked salmon. I decided to order Pie a la mode Waldorf and my companion, Tracy, ordered Fried okra Rockefeller. Sydmo seemed wizened as she brought in our orders about thirty-seven minutes later. I had a bowl of chicken soup on the side, and Tracy had a dish of applesauce. A tonic was a perfect complement for my pie a la mode.
The Pie a la mode was rough but a bit ruined. The common way to cook with chili powder is to sear outside first, but our chef chooses to broil, then blend it into the pie a la mode. Tracy thought the fried okra seemed a bit frilly, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred four dollars, which I think is unbelievable. Overall, the food was nonsensical, the atmosphere was impressive, and the service was astonishing. If you are a hairy person, this might be the ideal place for you.
