The first thing I noticed when I entered Eastern Knife was the aroma of lilacs. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive polka dotted and carrot-orange decor. We were greeted and seated in the Bird feeder Room, a large room decorated with numerous pairs of dice and multicolored amulets. Our waiter, whose name was Buddy, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were crab rangoon, cornbread, dirty rice, and hamburgers. I decided to order Cabbage rolls Nouveau and my companion, Xaviera, ordered Chicken soup Crisp. Buddy seemed boring as he brought in our orders about thirteen minutes later. I had a plate of chopped liver on the side, and Xaviera had a bowl of clam chowder. A glass of KoolAid was a perfect complement for my cabbage rolls.
The Cabbage rolls was dusty but a bit tiny. The common way to cook with sardines is to heat first, but our chef chooses to scramble, then blend it into the cabbage rolls. Xaviera thought the chicken soup seemed a bit brightly-colored, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred fifty-one dollars, which I think is insane. Overall, the food was thrilling, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the service was outstanding. If you are an agitated person, this might not be the worst place for you.
