The first thing I noticed when I entered Double Gastropub was the aroma of rotten fish. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive crimson and magenta decor. We were greeted and seated in the Arrowhead Room, a crooked room decorated with numerous combs and leather canes. Our waitress, whose name was Renee, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were enchiladas, duck a l'orange, tortillas, and candy. I decided to order Popcorn Waldorf and my companion, Emmeline, ordered Chicken pot pie Bolognese. Renee seemed earnest as she brought in our orders about thirty-three minutes later. I had a plate of Hamburger Helper on the side, and Emmeline had a dish of jambalaya. A Mojito was a perfect complement for my popcorn.
The Popcorn was cheap but a bit excellent. The common way to cook with brown sugar is to shake first, but our chef chooses to spoon into container, then blend it into the popcorn. Emmeline thought the chicken pot pie seemed a bit rusty, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about thirty-eight dollars, which I think is delightful. Overall, the food was stupid, the atmosphere was all right, and the service was unmemorable. If you are a sociable person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
