The first thing I noticed when I entered the Great Garden was the aroma of vanilla. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive maroon and white decor. We were greeted and seated in the Clipboard Room, a cheap room decorated with numerous garbage cans and gooey flags. Our waitress, whose name was Darlene, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were burritos, fondue, prune pudding, and chicken gumbo. I decided to order Lobster bisque Crisp and my companion, Christopher, ordered Shrimp à la Russe. Darlene seemed bouncy as she brought in our orders about thirty-seven minutes later. I had an entree of duck a l'orange on the side, and Christopher had a plate of lasagna. A glass of carrot juice was a perfect complement for my lobster bisque.
The Lobster bisque was waxy but a bit crude. The common way to cook with habañero peppers is to boil first, but our chef chooses to grill, then blend it into the lobster bisque. Christopher thought the shrimp seemed a bit hard, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred one dollars, which I think is atrocious. Overall, the food was undistinguished, the atmosphere was stupid, and the service was stunning. If you are an obedient person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
