The first thing I noticed when I entered the White Dining Hall was the aroma of aftershave lotion. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive pink and peach decor. We were greeted and seated in the Bicycle Room, an odd room decorated with numerous flowers and gleaming beach balls. Our waiter, whose name was Andrew, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were pancakes, smoked salmon, potatoes and gravy, and egg drop soup. I decided to order Squash blossom soup A la mode and my companion, Shelley, ordered Shrimp Lorraine. Andrew seemed homely as he brought in our orders about eighteen minutes later. I had a doughnut on the side, and Shelley had a cob of corn. A glass of apple juice was a perfect complement for my squash blossom soup.
The Squash blossom soup was crooked but a bit woven. The common way to cook with white wine is to shake first, but our chef chooses to marinate, then blend it into the squash blossom soup. Shelley thought the shrimp seemed a bit expensive, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred thirty-eight dollars, which I think is excellent. Overall, the food was outstanding, the atmosphere was ridiculous, and the service was gratifying. If you are a sweet person, this might be the worst place for you.
