The first thing I noticed when I entered Seaside Orchid was the aroma of marijuana. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive silver and green decor. We were greeted and seated in the Fork Room, a narrow room decorated with numerous rolls of toilet paper and cardboard pieces of paper. Our waiter, whose name was Jude, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were cinnamon toast, duck a l'orange, hash, and tofu. I decided to order Hors d'oeuvre A la creme and my companion, Elinor, ordered Smoked salmon Soufflé. Jude seemed repulsive as he brought in our orders about forty-six minutes later. I had a piece of cornbread on the side, and Elinor had a bag of popcorn. A sassafras tea was a perfect complement for my hors d'oeuvre.
The Hors d'oeuvre was broken but a bit cheap. The common way to cook with chicken is to scramble first, but our chef chooses to allow to rise in warm place for several hours, then blend it into the hors d'oeuvre. Elinor thought the smoked salmon seemed a bit gruesome, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about seventy-three dollars, which I think is farcical. Overall, the food was satisfying, the atmosphere was great, and the service was crazy. If you are a fiendish person, this might be the ideal place for you.
