You have an excellent point. For the amount of raving that the place gets - and I do believe that the food is quite good - you don't expect to be so uncomfortable. The seating provides too little privacy and, your correct, there is absolutely no place to stand while waiting for your table. Pretty rediculous for this calibre of restaurant.

Iam afraid I have not not. The last place I visited was Cafe Panache in Ramsey. I enjoyed it very much. It is a BYO which I liked but it was still a tad pricey. The food itself was wonderful but I found the environment to be a bit too cramped. You feel like you are literally dining with your neighbors!

Thank you Rail! There are alot of very good places up here actually. Some that come to mind include: Roman Cafe, Saddle River Inn of course, Esty Street and Robins. I'd love to compare notes !

I haven't been there is a year or so but I have probably eaten there three or four times. It has always been wonderful. They have a very quaint main dining room with a fireplace as I recall. They also have a very nice lower dining room that can easily accomodate your group.
