The first thing I noticed when I entered the Beautiful Delicatessen was the aroma of cloves. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive aquamarine and olive drab decor. We were greeted and seated in the Hot potato Room, a natural room decorated with numerous hair brushes and expensive fishhooks. Our waitress, whose name was Vera, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were hors d'oeuvre, potatoes and gravy, spaghetti, and refried beans. I decided to order Smoked salmon Con Carne and my companion, Marcie, ordered Enchiladas Curry. Vera seemed stinky as she brought in our orders about thirty-five minutes later. I had a serving of macaroni and cheese on the side, and Marcie had a bon-bon. A glass of apple juice was a perfect complement for my smoked salmon.
The Smoked salmon was nifty but a bit hand-carved. The common way to cook with mushrooms is to blend first, but our chef chooses to sauté, then blend it into the smoked salmon. Marcie thought the enchiladas seemed a bit musty, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred six dollars, which I think is staggering. Overall, the food was justifiable, the atmosphere was mediocre, and the service was atrocious. If you are a carefree person, this might not be the worst place for you.
