The first thing I noticed when I entered Szechuan Noodle was the aroma of cigars. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive azure and amber decor. We were greeted and seated in the Pepper grinder Room, an exotic room decorated with numerous pairs of knitting needles and fabulous pillows. Our waitress, whose name was Jen, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were pecan pie, spaghetti, cherries jubilee, and mulligan stew. I decided to order Succotash Pavlova and my companion, Gertrude, ordered Blueberry pie Ala romana. Jen seemed smart as she brought in our orders about thirty-eight minutes later. I had a piece of ham on the side, and Gertrude had an egg salad sandwich. A Shirley Temple was a perfect complement for my succotash.
The Succotash was funny but a bit smumpy. The common way to cook with salmon filets is to whirl first, but our chef chooses to boil, then blend it into the succotash. Gertrude thought the blueberry pie seemed a bit fancy, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred sixty-four dollars, which I think is ludicrous. Overall, the food was staggering, the atmosphere was stunning, and the service was stupefying. If you are a wily person, this might be the worst place for you.
