Summer is a time for fresh fruits and veggies, lots of salads and light meals. Well, I'm going to shake things up with my suggestion for the August dinner .... German food!!

I've been wanting to try The Berlin Inn at 3131 SE 12th and Powell Blvd, just east of the Ross Island Bridge. It's a German Restaurant, Bakery and Wine Stube. I read about it in an Oregonian restaurant review. (It was given a "B" rating). The review said: " The Berlin Inn serves dinners that are excellent introductions to the cuisine that's the original comfort food: potato pancakes, tomato soup, pot roast, pork loin, schnitzels, wursts, dumplings, noodles and red cabbage -- dishes that support characteristic herbs and spices such as juniper berries, dill and carraway seeds, and flavors that are sweet-and-sour and briny". They also warn to be prepared to take home a doggy bag!

The menu highlights Fondues, Salads, Hot Sandwiches, Mittag Essen (Smaller Plates), Abendessen (Larger Entrees), Single Schnitzel Plates, and "Light and Luscious European Desserts Made from Scratch".

I've made the reservation for 6:30 p.m.on August 8th, with a starting number of 12. I can increase or decrease that number as your RSVP's come in.
