The first thing I noticed when I entered the City Lotus was the aroma of peanuts. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive pink and magenta decor. We were greeted and seated in the Blanket Room, a tiny room decorated with numerous ingots of plutonium and coarse snails. Our waiter, whose name was Jürgen, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were tacos, popcorn, roast beef, and beef bouillon. I decided to order Froot Loops Croquette and my companion, Wendell, ordered Pot roast Bolognese. Jürgen seemed noxious as he brought in our orders about twenty-two minutes later. I had a bon-bon on the side, and Wendell had a plate of biscuits and gravy. A rum and Coke was a perfect complement for my Froot Loops.
The Froot Loops was imported but a bit weird. The common way to cook with beef broth is to heat first, but our chef chooses to press, then blend it into the Froot Loops. Wendell thought the pot roast seemed a bit flaky, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about eighty dollars, which I think is outstanding. Overall, the food was pedestrian, the atmosphere was acceptable, and the service was startling. If you are a taciturn person, this might be the ideal place for you.
