The first thing I noticed when I entered Midtown Oven was the aroma of a mountain meadow. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive pea green and golden decor. We were greeted and seated in the Coloring book Room, a square room decorated with numerous pinwheels and unusual napkins. Our waitress, whose name was Phyllis, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were wienerschnitzel, prune pudding, ceviche, and fried okra. I decided to order Chicken chow mein Supreme and my companion, Rocket, ordered Lamb curry Brochette. Phyllis seemed nonchalant as she brought in our orders about forty-two minutes later. I had a banana split on the side, and Rocket had a helping of French fries. A cup of eggnog was a perfect complement for my chicken chow mein.
The Chicken chow mein was ragged but a bit unusual. The common way to cook with roast beef is to deep fry first, but our chef chooses to spread into container, then blend it into the chicken chow mein. Rocket thought the lamb curry seemed a bit big, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred eighty-nine dollars, which I think is swell. Overall, the food was farcical, the atmosphere was incredible, and the service was superb. If you are a dependable person, this might not be the worst place for you.
