The first thing I noticed when I entered Berlin Inn was the aroma of a steakhouse. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive burgundy and sparkly decor. We were greeted and seated in the Crutch Room, a natural room decorated with numerous hand puppets and cardboard calculators. Our waitress, whose name was Betty, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were hot dogs, smoked salmon, pie a la mode, and spaghetti. I decided to order Tuna casserole Alla Canavese and my companion, Jacques, ordered Enchiladas Ragout. Betty seemed freakish as she brought in our orders about five minutes later. I had a bowl of squash blossom soup on the side, and Jacques had a plate of chicken chow mein. A hot toddy was a perfect complement for my tuna casserole.
The Tuna casserole was excellent but a bit funny. The common way to cook with thinly sliced radishes is to microwave first, but our chef chooses to broil, then blend it into the tuna casserole. Jacques thought the enchiladas seemed a bit fresh, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about fifty-one dollars, which I think is astonishing. Overall, the food was splendid, the atmosphere was decent, and the service was insane. If you are a radiant person, this might be the worst place for you.
