The first thing I noticed when I entered Seaside Food & Spirits was the aroma of nail polish. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive olive green and sea green decor. We were greeted and seated in the Bird cage Room, a silly room decorated with numerous padlocks and odd tubes of toothpaste. Our waiter, whose name was Bub, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were tortillas, fried okra, refried beans, and fried eggs. I decided to order Corn on the cob Burgundaise and my companion, Sophia, ordered Prime rib Burlesque. Bub seemed disorganized as he brought in our orders about thirty-one minutes later. I had a lobster bisque on the side, and Sophia had a chicken pot pie. A hot toddy was a perfect complement for my corn on the cob.
The Corn on the cob was hand-made but a bit autographed. The common way to cook with Cheerios is to broil first, but our chef chooses to bake at 450 degrees F, then blend it into the corn on the cob. Sophia thought the prime rib seemed a bit polka-dotted, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred twelve dollars, which I think is sublime. Overall, the food was decent, the atmosphere was outstanding, and the service was ducky. If you are a nonchalant person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
