Day 2 Part 4 : The One Where Penelope Happens
We left the park, and headed for Toothsome. It was 7 PM, and the wait was two hours. My mom was annoyed, and wanted to eat elsewhere. However the majority one out, and she sat on a bench far away from us. And thus began our wait for Toothsome; which was technically not open, but in soft.
After the lovely two hour wait our party of six was seated at the back of the restaurant all the way to the left in a corner. Our server Haraj from Morocco greeted us, and we immediately ordered as we had been fasting to save room for this restaurant I had hyped up. The girlfriend ordered some artichoke rolls, and they gave us the wrong order so they gave us the right one. I ordered some chocolate almond bread which was divine however there's one thing about the bread we'll get back too. Mother dearest ordered the French Onion Soup, and Brother ordered the Cheddar Broccoli Soup. Then we actually looked at the menu because we were so hangry we ordered appetizers right away.
Soon everyone had their appetizers except for me, but we all agreed it was probably because it was so popular or something along those lines. Soon everyone, but me had their appetizers, and if you noticed he never asked what we wanted to drink. He came by, and my brother ordered an Iced Tea, and inquired about my bread. He forgot to tell them to make it... The server then left forgetting to get everyone else's drinks. He came back with a loaf of the bread, and to our surprise an extra loaf for free! This time we all ordered our drinks mostly water, but Mother ordered Sprite. We were going to order milkshakes, but there was issue and too many people had been ordering it so off the menu! To alleviate the 90 minute wait for a milkshake of course. As we ate our bread, the star of the dinner came along. Penelope Toothsome!
She was stupendous, and really great I was just chatting with her. Since I was so apparently flustered (it was the accent), I told her that we were from the south. The girlfriend started to die of laughter; Penelope was concerned, and I told her she's been like this the whole day. This did not help the girlfriend, and she laughed even harder. Penelope asked if she knew a doctor, and I replied she already had one. He gave her medication, but it ran out. I can't say what else we chitchatted about, but it involved the word chocolate. As for the rest of the trip along with KONG! KONG! KONG!, we would say chocolate in a Brittish accent whenever someone would call us.
Finally our entrees arrived! (No pics)
Mom : Chicken Bu-something, it was much better than mine, but I declined to switch with her.
Cousins F and P : The risotto, it was too watery and had no flavor. They ended up comping Cousin Fs meal, and offered a free one, but he declined.
Girlfriend : Seafood Macaroni, she said it was good. She didn't really rave about it, and said there's better at Miami.
Brother : The Blue Burger, he said it was one of the best burgers he's ever eaten.
Me : Gnocchi and Chicken with Mole Sauce, was a really bad flavor as the Mole Sauce was nasty. However the chicken and gnocchi were rather good. I ate the whole thing so my brother couldn't say you don't like anything. I made it seem like I loved it
Now time for dessert! I ordered a Brookie, but no one else got anything. The lovebirds left to get milkshakes. The brookie was okay, but nothing out of the ordinary. As we paid our bill, and walked out the girlfriend got a Banana Vanilla Milkshake. It was very over the top, but it was really delicious especially with the chocolate coated banana on top of it. Yes you read right a whole banana on top of a milkshake. Plus you could keep the cup it comes in! Overall, I rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars. We'll go back once the excitement for it dies down a bit. We left the restaurant close to midnight, and caught the bus back to our hotel. Once again I was locked in the bathroom working on my AP Computer Science homework. At 2 AM when I finished, I went to bed.
Tune in next time for the finale of Last Days of Summer!
