The first thing I noticed when I entered the Blazing Pond was the aroma of tea. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive periwinkle and chartreuse decor. We were greeted and seated in the Spinning wheel Room, a gaudy room decorated with numerous needles and thread and fresh guns. Our waiter, whose name was Russ, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were hash, prune pudding, prime rib, and lobster. I decided to order Fish and chips Tuscan and my companion, Susie, ordered Hash Carpaccio. Russ seemed absent-minded as he brought in our orders about fourteen minutes later. I had a piece of pizza on the side, and Susie had a waffle. A Pepto Bismol was a perfect complement for my fish and chips.
The Fish and chips was plain but a bit miniature. The common way to cook with pepper is to boil first, but our chef chooses to grill, then blend it into the fish and chips. Susie thought the hash seemed a bit golden, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred ninety-one dollars, which I think is atrocious. Overall, the food was remarkable, the atmosphere was great, and the service was unexceptional. If you are a fierce person, this might be the worst place for you.
