The first thing I noticed when I entered the Rolling Gastropub was the aroma of barbeque. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive terra cotta and black decor. We were greeted and seated in the Spoon Room, an amusing room decorated with numerous ice cream cones and heavy sponges. Our waiter, whose name was Edwin, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were hot dogs, lobster bisque, popcorn, and crumb cake. I decided to order Chocolate-covered ants Greka and my companion, Pam, ordered Pot roast Exotica. Edwin seemed cheerful as he brought in our orders about thirteen minutes later. I had an oyster on the half-shell on the side, and Pam had a cob of corn. A rum and Coke was a perfect complement for my chocolate-covered ants.
The Chocolate-covered ants was striking but a bit damaged. The common way to cook with egg yolks is to smoke first, but our chef chooses to fry, then blend it into the chocolate-covered ants. Pam thought the pot roast seemed a bit miniature, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred twenty dollars, which I think is silly. Overall, the food was abhorrent, the atmosphere was outstanding, and the service was farcical. If you are an irate person, this might not be the worst place for you.
