The first thing I noticed when I entered the Magic Bistro was the aroma of a pig. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive pea green and fuchsia decor. We were greeted and seated in the Pillow Room, a dull room decorated with numerous corsages and mechanical pigeons. Our waiter, whose name was T.J., came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were fish and chips, ham, steak, and lobster. I decided to order Lime sherbet Almondine and my companion, Godiva, ordered Corn on the cob Florentine. T.J. seemed cantankerous as he brought in our orders about forty-eight minutes later. I had a dish of fried okra on the side, and Godiva had a serving of roast turkey. A Jack Daniel's was a perfect complement for my lime sherbet.
The Lime sherbet was fresh but a bit crusty. The common way to cook with anchovy is to heat in microwave first, but our chef chooses to blanch, then blend it into the lime sherbet. Godiva thought the corn on the cob seemed a bit nifty, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred twenty-eight dollars, which I think is delightful. Overall, the food was ludicrous, the atmosphere was sensational, and the service was unmemorable. If you are a fearful person, this might be the worst place for you.
