The first thing I noticed when I entered the Beautiful Serpent was the aroma of meatloaf. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive rose and lime-green decor. We were greeted and seated in the Coffee pot Room, a sad room decorated with numerous billfolds and delicate dollar bills. Our waiter, whose name was Studs, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were applesauce, crab rangoon, pot roast, and crumb cake. I decided to order Mashed potatoes Flambé and my companion, Anita, ordered Cabbage Classico. Studs seemed wizened as he brought in our orders about thirty-five minutes later. I had a tortilla on the side, and Anita had a piece of pie a la mode. An Irish Coffee was a perfect complement for my mashed potatoes.
The Mashed potatoes was musty but a bit nice. The common way to cook with cracker crumbs is to bake at 450 degrees F first, but our chef chooses to refrigerate overnight, then blend it into the mashed potatoes. Anita thought the cabbage seemed a bit prickly, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred seven dollars, which I think is sensational. Overall, the food was bearable, the atmosphere was stunning, and the service was sufficient. If you are an intrepid person, this might be the ideal place for you.
