The first thing I noticed when I entered Seaside Fortress was the aroma of Revlon. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive khaki and metallic red decor. We were greeted and seated in the Arrowhead Room, a narrow room decorated with numerous stopwatches and crisp cans of beans. Our waitress, whose name was Mary Lou, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were bonbons, lasagna, Cheerios, and oatmeal. I decided to order Cheerios Hungarian and my companion, Dianna, ordered Ramen noodles Normandie. Mary Lou seemed ignoble as she brought in our orders about twenty-three minutes later. I had a bowl of squash blossom soup on the side, and Dianna had a dish of applesauce. A glass of water was a perfect complement for my Cheerios.
The Cheerios was chic but a bit colossal. The common way to cook with turmeric is to simmer first, but our chef chooses to spoon into container, then blend it into the Cheerios. Dianna thought the ramen noodles seemed a bit hideous, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about thirteen dollars, which I think is absurd. Overall, the food was acceptable, the atmosphere was ghastly, and the service was bodacious. If you are a petulant person, this might not be the worst place for you.
