The first thing I noticed when I entered the Wonderful Spoon was the aroma of Estée Lauder. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive striped and scarlet decor. We were greeted and seated in the Bone Room, a sad room decorated with numerous cages and dry etchings. Our waiter, whose name was Jacob, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were pot roast, enchiladas, beef bouillon, and cotton candy. I decided to order Lobster Curry and my companion, Celia, ordered Cornbread à la Russe. Jacob seemed puzzled as he brought in our orders about forty-five minutes later. I had a wienerschnitzel on the side, and Celia had an egg salad sandwich. A hot toddy was a perfect complement for my lobster.
The Lobster was delicate but a bit crooked. The common way to cook with potato flakes is to freeze first, but our chef chooses to melt, then blend it into the lobster. Celia thought the cornbread seemed a bit queer, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred fifty dollars, which I think is acceptable. Overall, the food was bodacious, the atmosphere was loathsome, and the service was dandy. If you are an articulate person, this might be the worst place for you.
