Clock Tower Restaurant

First review - not too far from home...

Let me just first disclose that I am a pretty good cook/baker. So when I go out to eat, I like to have food better than what I can make at home or is just too much work to make myself.

We visited the Clock Tower the other evening as a I-survived-the-first-day-of-school treat for the kiddies.

I ordered the Fettucine Alfredo, which was really reasonably priced at under $9.00. It came with soup or salad (I think the menu said it would come with both, but I was only delivered a salad) & 2 breadsticks. The portion was plentiful enough for me & my 7 yr old to share. There was also quite a bit of sauce, which surprised me.  The Alfredo was just ok for me. It was very bland. It would have been better if they had sauteed some garlic in the butter prior to adding cream & parmesan, or maybe just salting it.  Whether the noodles had not been cooked in salted water, or the sauce had not been salted, it was just bland. My little guy even commented it didn't have much flavor.

Dan ordered the special of the night - the House Stromboli - which included 3 meats & cheeses. The corner I tasted was delicious. As Dan worked his way to the middle, he thought it was saltier as he went. This could have been partially due to the three meats, plus cheeses. The stromboli itself was also reasonably priced and could potentially feed 2 people with moderate appetites (possibly with the addition of a side salad) or one really hungry person.

My daughter had silver dollar pancakes - breakfast is served all day long. Nothing to report there, pancakes are pancakes.

Overall, we would give the place another shot. We realize they have only been open a week or so. There is definitely potential & we hope the best for them - because Berlin definitely needs more options for dining.
