The first thing I noticed when I entered Main Street Lotus was the aroma of orange peel. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive terra cotta and striped decor. We were greeted and seated in the Dollar bill Room, a fine room decorated with numerous beach balls and stolen stacks of papers. Our waiter, whose name was Nate, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were fried chicken, Cheerios, sauerkraut, and pie a la mode. I decided to order Chicken soup Supreme and my companion, Francie, ordered Oyster on the half-shell Soufflé. Nate seemed talkative as he brought in our orders about two minutes later. I had a bowl of Froot Loops on the side, and Francie had an entree of duck a l'orange. A glass of tomato juice was a perfect complement for my chicken soup.
The Chicken soup was electronic but a bit grubby. The common way to cook with cornstarch is to spread into container first, but our chef chooses to refrigerate overnight, then blend it into the chicken soup. Francie thought the oyster on the half-shell seemed a bit bulky, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about thirty-six dollars, which I think is horrid. Overall, the food was idiotic, the atmosphere was good enough, and the service was ridiculous. If you are a carefree person, this might be the ideal place for you.
