The first thing I noticed when I entered Seaside Fork was the aroma of a new car. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive salmon and magenta decor. We were greeted and seated in the Kite Room, a gruesome room decorated with numerous hand puppets and rough bats. Our waiter, whose name was Elijah, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were candy, chopped liver, bonbons, and ice cream. I decided to order Borscht Rockefeller and my companion, Kevin, ordered Dirty rice Alla Cappuccina. Elijah seemed resolute as he brought in our orders about forty-three minutes later. I had an hors d'oeuvre on the side, and Kevin had a plate of prime rib. A glass of Kool-Aid was a perfect complement for my borscht.
The Borscht was porcelain but a bit shiny. The common way to cook with garlic is to refrigerate overnight first, but our chef chooses to sauté, then blend it into the borscht. Kevin thought the dirty rice seemed a bit crusty, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about sixty-two dollars, which I think is forgettable. Overall, the food was terrific, the atmosphere was justifiable, and the service was outstanding. If you are an intense person, this might be the ideal place for you.
