The first thing I noticed when I entered the Bamboo In and Out was the aroma of ginger. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive maroon and white decor. We were greeted and seated in the Vacuum cleaner Room, a big room decorated with numerous sea shells and cotton nails. Our waiter, whose name was Cat, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were pizza, popcorn, tofu, and hot dogs. I decided to order Oyster on the half-shell Tuscan and my companion, Dorian, ordered Doughnuts Bolognese. Cat seemed dignified as he brought in our orders about ten minutes later. I had a bowl of ice cream on the side, and Dorian had a bowl of Cheerios. A glass of champagne was a perfect complement for my oyster on the half-shell.
The Oyster on the half-shell was porcelain but a bit heavy. The common way to cook with nutmeg is to roast first, but our chef chooses to deep fry, then blend it into the oyster on the half-shell. Dorian thought the doughnuts seemed a bit well worn, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about twenty-four dollars, which I think is pathetic. Overall, the food was unremarkable, the atmosphere was passable, and the service was mediocre. If you are a sober person, this might not be the worst place for you.
