The first thing I noticed when I entered Seaside Panda was the aroma of a spring rain. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive violet and crimson decor. We were greeted and seated in the Vase Room, a large room decorated with numerous cactus plants and golden toolboxes. Our waitress, whose name was Latrina, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were chocolate-covered ants, roast beef, ramen noodles, and country glazed ham. I decided to order Steak Muscadine and my companion, Wilma, ordered Refried beans Béarnaise. Latrina seemed selfish as she brought in our orders about forty minutes later. I had a bon-bon on the side, and Wilma had a piece of blueberry pie. A cosmopolitan was a perfect complement for my steak.
The Steak was hefty but a bit hand-made. The common way to cook with ramen noodles is to heat first, but our chef chooses to broil, then blend it into the steak. Wilma thought the refried beans seemed a bit narrow, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about twenty-four dollars, which I think is sickening. Overall, the food was excellent, the atmosphere was marvelous, and the service was abominable. If you are a muddled person, this might not be the worst place for you.
