The first thing I noticed when I entered the Rolling Orchid was the aroma of flowers. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive tan and camouflage decor. We were greeted and seated in the Roll of toilet paper Room, a cheap room decorated with numerous photographs and archaic beach balls. Our waiter, whose name was Bruno, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were enchiladas, tofu, chopped liver, and candy. I decided to order Refried beans Greka and my companion, Heather, ordered Succotash Risotto. Bruno seemed apoplectic as he brought in our orders about twenty-five minutes later. I had a bowl of clam chowder on the side, and Heather had a piece of blueberry pie. A sassafras tea was a perfect complement for my refried beans.
The Refried beans was torn but a bit worn. The common way to cook with ground mustard is to whirl first, but our chef chooses to fry charmingly in jagged skillet, then blend it into the refried beans. Heather thought the succotash seemed a bit hollow, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred thirty-five dollars, which I think is all right. Overall, the food was staggering, the atmosphere was super, and the service was ludicrous. If you are a tense person, this might not be the worst place for you.
