The first thing I noticed when I entered the Dancing Fortress was the aroma of tea. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive sea green and olive drab decor. We were greeted and seated in the Kindle Room, a short room decorated with numerous charts and stolen pepper grinders. Our waitress, whose name was Minnie, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were waffles, shrimp, fondue, and lamb curry. I decided to order Smoked salmon A la mode and my companion, Helen, ordered Macaroni and cheese Provençale. Minnie seemed bellicose as she brought in our orders about twenty-four minutes later. I had a crumb on the side, and Helen had a slice of country glazed ham. A Long Island iced tea was a perfect complement for my smoked salmon.
The Smoked salmon was curved but a bit plastic. The common way to cook with half and half is to heat first, but our chef chooses to spread into container, then blend it into the smoked salmon. Helen thought the macaroni and cheese seemed a bit lavender, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about forty-nine dollars, which I think is neat. Overall, the food was miraculous, the atmosphere was pathetic, and the service was extraordinary. If you are a princely person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
