The first thing I noticed when I entered Double Pasta Bar was the aroma of peanuts. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive khaki and orange decor. We were greeted and seated in the Painting Room, a smooth room decorated with numerous chess sets and petite candy canes. Our waiter, whose name was Wilson, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were ceviche, prime rib, brownies, and duck a l'orange. I decided to order Chicken gumbo Croquette and my companion, Winnie, ordered Country glazed ham Menieure. Wilson seemed decent as he brought in our orders about twenty-three minutes later. I had a piece of pumpkin pie on the side, and Winnie had a helping of pot roast. A glass of apple juice was a perfect complement for my chicken gumbo.
The Chicken gumbo was speckled but a bit amazing. The common way to cook with fresh spinach is to bake at 450 degrees F first, but our chef chooses to grill, then blend it into the chicken gumbo. Winnie thought the country glazed ham seemed a bit rough, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred seventy-four dollars, which I think is nonsensical. Overall, the food was horrid, the atmosphere was magnificent, and the service was spiffy. If you are a sweet person, this might be the ideal place for you.
