COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW

SCOTT WINTERMUTE PHOTO

mouth@coastweekend.com

lthough Seaside is by common estimation a coastal tourist town, there is much to be had beyond the ubiquitous mainstays of fried seafood and chowder, and the state fair fare of corn dogs, elephant ears, ice cream and taffy. Hidden away and in plain sight are praiseworthy culinary achievements on all levels of price and sophistication. Look hard enough (I certainly have) and you’ll find that there’s something for everyone in Seaside. Oyster Shooters: A great deal of Seaside eateries offer oyster shooters, and I order them wherever they’re on the menu. But when it came time to pick the best, the clear winner is Relief Pitcher Tavern in south Seaside. The small fresh oysters sit atop a horseradish-packed cocktail sauce with a little sweet relish to enhance the texture and make it unique. Seaside’s widest variety of Tabasco allows you to customize each shooter to your tastes. Order them a dozen at a time; you won’t faze the kitchen! But shooters are merely a starter. Stick around for the signature sandwiches – tuna Reuben and pastrami cheeseburger. Beer and Wine: There’s no shortage of specialty beer and wine shops on the coast, but the largest emporium with the biggest selection of both is also the oldest: The Wine Haus, located in the Seaside Outlet Mall. Of course, a vast assortment is useless without a seasoned guide to help you navigate it. Owner Jeff Killday is incredibly well-versed in both beer and wine, holds tastings daily and is skilled in finding the right fit for your tastes. With more than 30 bottles open at any given time, Killday encourages one and all (especially novices) to explore the possibilities. Happy Hour: While in dive bars, Happy Hour tends to gravitate toward 10-cent wings, all-you-can-eat fries and dollar beers, at fine dining establishments it’s a great way to sample their scratch-made creations at a fraction of the cost.

8 | April 12, 2012 | coastweekend.com

And since the portions are small to go with the prices, you can sample myriad items from the diverse array of options. McKeown’s proved to be most impressive when I reviewed them in January, and their Happy Hour (3 to 6 p.m. daily) follows suit. The prodigious pair of pulled pork sliders drop to $4.59 from $6.99, the barbecue chicken quesadilla $4.29 from $10.59, and you can get a Caesar salad with chicken for just $3.99. McKeown’s also offers day-of-the-week specials at the bar, such as Tuesday’s $5 cheeseburger and fries. Their superior beer-battered onion rings – the best I’ve ever had anywhere – are not discounted, but well worth the regular menu price! Pizza: Growing up here on the coast, loving Fultano’s and their unique style of pizza (thin, cornmeal-dusted, fermented, yeasty cracker crust with a bold sauce and loads of toppings) is almost inborn. But after much traveling and pizza consumption, I appreciate all varieties. Therefore it’s got to be a tie. Fultano’s for the aforementioned style, and Pizza Express for its truly authentic, hand-tossed New York style pizza. The two types are about as opposite as you can get, but I love them both equally. Each place offers a lot more than just pizza, but that’s another category. Best yet, Fultano’s and Pizza Express are across the street from each other! Both deliver. Mexican Food/Tex-Mex: When it comes to Mexican food, there’s the traditional and the Americanized. Both have their place depending on one’s mood at any given time. When I want an authentic pork taco on a housemade corn tortilla, I head to The Stand. The guacamole is made to order, the salsa is chunky and the chips are hot. The Stand’s moist tamales (pork or vegetable) are unparalleled. The mole is smooth, rich and velvety; no grit! Enchiladas and burritos are benchmark, and they offer black beans as well as pinto. Plates are beautifully presented and every-

thing bursts with freshness and flawless execution. When I want 400-degree combination plates covered in sauce and melted cheese, I go to Mazatlan, the best Tex-Mex in the area. You get the “Hola, Señor” treatment, the mariachi music, the bright walls and the perfect Margarita. The chips and salsa keep coming, and the large glossy menu is filled with pictures of the innumerable dishes on offer. Service is overly friendly, and portions are plenteous. Bring along an antacid. Best Place To Please Everyone: Sad as it is, many Seaside restaurants do try to please everyone. If you’re an authentic ethnic place, you shouldn’t feel the need to have chicken strips, burgers and chowder on your menu. That said, Dundee’s Bar & Grill makes no effort to be anything specific. It’s a sports bar with more than 20 flatscreens and a projector. But it’s got a family section open until 9 p.m.; an adjoining bakery (also open until 9) with a wide variety of doughnuts, cookies, pastries and the lot; a fully-loaded salad bar; and a massive menu with just about everything under the sun. Seafood includes steamer clams, calamari, razor clams, fish and chips and oysters. Sub sandwiches entail Philly cheesesteak, French dip, meatball, chicken Parmesan and oyster grinders, among others. There are 16 different handmade burgers, a full pizza menu, housemade chili and chowder and standard bar appetizers such as nachos, wings, onion rings, fried shrimp, sliders, cheese sticks, etc. Try their signature “Texas Egg-rolls,” wonton wrappers filled with jalapeno and cream cheese served with sweet jalapeno jelly for dipping. There are 15 beers on tap, as many bottled, a decent wine selection and full bar. Most booths have their own TV and remote, there’s pool in the back, an e-juke for music and video poker to be had. Kids’ menu items are $4.99, and they make their own chicken strips. I can’t think of anything missing at Dundee’s.

Playing safe at the beach Be beach smart. The beach is fun, but you need to play safe. The Oregon Coast is a great place to visit. Whether you are looking for seashells, building sand castles, or exploring tide pools, the beach can be a lot of fun. Remember, the ocean has dangerous waves, logs, rocks and cliffs. Talk to your family and friends about how to play safe on the beach.

Beware of rip currents. Rip currents are strong currents of water that rush out to sea. They can form on any beach that has breaking waves. If you look closely, you can see a rip current. It will have dark muddy water and be very choppy. You might see foam and other debris floating out to sea. If you see a rip current, stay away! They are very dangerous. If you are ever caught in a rip current, don’t panic. Try to relax and swim parallel to the beach. Don’t try to fight the current. If you have trouble swimming, tread water and call for help. Parents: Be sure always to watch your children closely when they are playing in and around water.

Don’t climb on drift logs. Logs on wet sand or in the water are especially dangerous. The ocean is strong enough to pick up even the biggest log and plop it down on top of you. If you see a log on wet sand, stay off of it.

Beware of incoming tides. Tide pools can be so interesting that you might lose track of time. Make sure you know when the tide is coming in so you don’t end up stranded. Get a free tide table at state park offices, information centers and many shops and motels.

Be careful on cliffs and rocks. Ocean spray and heavy rains can make rocks and trails slippery and unsafe. Stay behind all fences. They are there for your safety. When hiking, make sure you wear the right type of shoes and stay on marked trails. Stay away from cliff edges, and don’t stand under overhanging cliffs. They are dangerous.

Beware of sneaker waves. Watch out for “sneaker waves.” Sneaker waves appear suddenly. They rush up on the shore with enough force to knock you down and drag you out to sea. Keep your eyes on the ocean.

Understand tsunamis. You need to be aware of two types of tsunami warnings: a distant event and a local event.

Know who to call when you need help. In an emergency, call 911. Providence Seaside Hospital

If you’re a senior or suffer from arthritis, there’s a new program, Walking with Ease, offered by the SEPRD and led by Kay Bunnell, a certified Walk with Ease instructor. Held a couple of times a week on the newly turfed Broadway Field, it’s designed to build balance and strength and ease arthritic pain. It provides a social network, concentrates on health and wellness and it’s free if you’re 60 and older. “We’re absolutely out of our minds with delight,” said Blake. “We have a brand new field adjacent to Broadway behind the Sunset Pool made up of half a million pounds of broken recycled rubber that we’ve invested $1,300,000 in. It will knock your socks off when you see it. It’s state of the art that just opened in October. We didn’t want a field just dedicated to sports. Besides football and soccer, we wanted an equal ‘playing field’ for everyone. It’s a place where people can walk, rain or shine, and since it opened, walkers are doing just that,” said Blake. Seaside’s legacy is the beach town that has recognized the benefits of walking for a long time, and it looks like it is poised and planning to be so for generations to come. Shake off the winter blahs. Seaside is the perfect place for so many reasons – so get out and take a walk.

The art side of Seaside

hat’s the first thing you think of when somebody says “Seaside”? Volleyball? Bumper cars, bicycles, the Prom? It wasn’t art that you thought of first, was it? But there is an art side to Seaside, and it can be found in the most unexpected places. On the outside wall of a public lavatory, for example, the one at Necanicum Drive and 12th Avenue, you’ll find a very large mosaic of a salmon,

A display at Fairweather House and Garden is eye candy for window shoppers and art fans alike.

This salmon mosaic “migrated” from the old Safeway wall to the outside of the public lavatory at Neacanicum Drive and 12th Avenue.

and it’s even a salmon that has migrated. In this salmon’s case, the migration was from the intersection of Holladay Drive and Ocean Way, the wall of the old Safeway, where it was taken down piece by numbered piece and reassembled. Not far from the salmon is the Seaside Museum, with a mural on the wall of the “Papa Train.” Early in the 20th century, families from Portland took up summer residence in Seaside in order to enjoy the cooler climate and the other attractions of the coast. The fathers, of course, had to continue work in Portland, migrating to the coast on weekends, aboard the “Papa Train.” If there’s a theme to Seaside’s outdoor art, it might be migration. A few blocks from the museum, on the back wall of the Just Hair salon at 783 First Ave., is Deborah Kerner’s mural, “Migration on First Avenue,” which depicts three orcas migrating in a southerly direction. The largest mural in town, and perhaps the finest, is that on the wall of the Ace Hardware at Holladay Drive and Broadway, painted in 2008 by Roger Cooke. It portrays the area that is now Seaside and Gearhart, and the life of the Clatsops there before the arrival of white settlers.

Exploring the art of Seaside isn’t simply sauntering into a gallery or museum. It can involve a lot of walking, or you can rent one of the ubiquitous bicycles, buy some saltwater taffy for energy, and you’re on your way. If architecture is the art that delights you, make your way south on the Prom and on toward the Cove, then back downtown via Ocean Vista Drive, one block in from the Prom. You’ll find a variety of beach cottage styles, and the occasional detail that makes such cottages fun. Look for a gate on Ocean Vista made of all manner of objects, flanked by a “poetry box” which holds John Masefield’s “Sea Fever” (“I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky …”). Back in town, there’s plenty of art indoors, too. The most unusual setting is Hold Fast Tattoo Co. & Art Gallery, 611 Broadway, which shows a changing variety of art in its large and comfortable space, with the low chatter of tattoo artists and their clients in the background. When you’ve finished being tattooed, a very short walk takes you past Fairweather House and Garden (and their display of art) to T. Anjuli Salon and Gallery (1 N. Holladay), where you can get your hair cut while looking at their current display of contemporary art. You can

A poetry box affixed to a garden gate on Ocean Vista Drive satisfies those with a lust for whimsy.

then go next door to the Seaside Coffee House, get a cappuccino and look at the art there. Or if tattoos and cappuccinos are not your thing, why not end your walk on the art side at Yummy’s Wine Bar and Bistro? It’s at 831 Broadway, just past the Clatsop mural on Ace Hardware. There, over chardonnay and steamer clams, you appreciate even more art (the exhibit changes every few months), and consider that in Seaside there’s more to art than what you find in galleries.

Listening to the Land

Series goes underwater for season finale SEASIDE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The final program in the current Listening to the Land series will be a presentation of the documentary â&#x20AC;&#x153;RiverWebsâ&#x20AC;? at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 18, at the Seaside Public Library, 1131 Broadway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;RiverWebsâ&#x20AC;? is a one-hour film that chronicles the inspiring life and work of the pioneering Japanese ecologist Shigeru Nakano. From his boyhood exploration of Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mountain streams to his leadership of an international effort to understand river ecosystems, Nakanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life demonstrates the unquenchable curiosity and bold creativity that drive scientific discovery. Yet it is Nakanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tragic death that shows us the profound personal impact of his life, and reveals what is perhaps the greatest scientific strength â&#x20AC;&#x201C; community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;RiverWebsâ&#x20AC;? takes a close look at an international group of river ecologists who share a story of tragedy, growth and recovery. Across Eastern and Western cultures, this unlikely circle of friends shows us the human side of science, while demonstrating how the process of discovery works. The inspiring lives and experiences of these scientists build a rich story of hope and interconnectedness, while providing a personal window through which to view rivers, ecology and conservation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here on Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Coast, our communities are deeply connected to the rivers and creeks that surround us,â&#x20AC;? said Teresa Retzlaff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come gain inspiration about the important role community plays in maintaining a healthy landscape.â&#x20AC;? Listening to the Land is a monthly winter speaker series presented by North Coast Land Conservancy and the Necanicum Watershed Council. Programs take place at the Seaside Public Library the third Wednesday of the month from October through April.
