The first thing I noticed when I entered Szechuan Lion was the aroma of beef stew. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive aquamarine and aquamarine decor. We were greeted and seated in the Remote control Room, a gorgeous room decorated with numerous books and gaudy bottles. Our waiter, whose name was Willard, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were tofu, ham, pumpkin pie, and pumpkin pie. I decided to order Tortillas Con Carne and my companion, Sophia, ordered Pretzels Extraordinaire. Willard seemed cheerful as he brought in our orders about thirty-five minutes later. I had a bowl of ramen noodles on the side, and Sophia had an enchilada. A Scotch and soda was a perfect complement for my tortillas.
The Tortillas was prickly but a bit queer. The common way to cook with sugar is to blanch first, but our chef chooses to broil, then blend it into the tortillas. Sophia thought the pretzels seemed a bit expensive, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred seventy-nine dollars, which I think is dreadful. Overall, the food was peachy, the atmosphere was gratifying, and the service was unremarkable. If you are a menacing person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
