is there a web site up for this place yet

i was wondering if anyone has been here recently. i am considering going and was wondering how it was.

i am going to visit family in the cliffside park area can anyone suggest anywhere in the area. i have never been here before and am not knowldgeable of the area. money is relly no object.

you guys are all wrong. the best cheesecake hands down in the state is at restaurant nicholas. although its not currently on the menu, when it is on no one make a better one.

i can tell you that ACC does not have a test kitchen . i am a grad from there and know this for a fact.

has anyone heard anything new about this place.

does he have a web site up for the restaurant.

kim that is a nice list however i think that its kinda all over the place a little bit. i think that for as good as stage left is and the washington inn are they are not even in the same ball park as the others you have listed. i would list in no specific order as the top tables in the state are: ryland inn, restaurant nicholas, sernade, rats, stage house inn. i would say that these are the places that make up the top teir and then you have the stage lefts and wash inn and a daniel's on brodway and others.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUOTE (Tom D @ Apr 27 2003, 12:40 PM) I hate to say this but there are some towns in north Jersey (like Montclair) that probably have more great restaurants then all of Monmouth County. Rosie, it did pain me to say that:))))))))))) Hopefully the dining scene in this area will get better. Tom - do you have any thoughts on why that might be? on the surface, a place like Red Bank prob has similar demographics to Montclair, Summit, Millburn, Ridgewood or Morristown. Artsy core shopping area, Schwab, Fidelity offices, affluent, good schools, etc. It would seem that good restos would thrive in an environment like that. Paul you know why monco on the most part has very few high quilty rest is because on the most part people are cheap in that area. and its sad to say that since it is a very affluent county on the most part. also another thing i feel is that when a rest. become known to be good and has a good rep after a while they relly start to think who they are and the food starts to slip alittle bit. and paul you are right about red bank having similar demographics to montclaire and such but red bank is the excpetion in monco. there are good rest. in rb, its the rest of the county that is lacking.

i second that. one of my friends who i graduated school with is the sous there. they do some relly nice stuff there.

central nj

i am looking for a good baker one who specializes in good breads.

anyone got any good recipes for some jerkey.

if anyone has the time could they post up the places that were in the artical and what they got reviewed at.

is there any i am going to lyon next week and was wondering.

has anyone eatin there since the change. good bad indiffrent.

i just noticed in table hopping that chef averbeck has recently left. what happened. did it not work out for him there or did he leave for another job.

i just booked auberge de l'ile for dinner.

the two meals i plan on having outside of troisgros would be one lunch and dinner. for lunch i want to have a good meal but am not relly looking for something to knock my scoks off i would actually now that i think about it like to have a trad. meal for lunch. so that i can experice what someone from this region would eat. i am leaning toward leon de lyon right now. for dinner however i do want my scoks knocked off. althogh i would love to try PB for various reason, historal and such i have heard many mixed reviews of his place. auberge de l'ile is also what i am leaning towards. cabby: as far as the henckels go is it just the 5 star line with his name on it or is it a line designed by him. although most of my current tools consist of henckels i am slowly replacing them all as i am not to happy with the edge that they hold and other design reasons.

i just went down to just knives yesterday and they have a wonderful selction and are very helpful. the store is however in the middle of no-where. i would not recommend going down there as most of you guys would be comming from north or central jersey and its just not worth the trip. i mean you would relly think you were in north carolina when you got into the town its in and its also tough to find.

cabby- i will be getting into lyon in the morning so i will have time for both lunch and dinner. price is not relly that important to me as this is the first time i will be in france and want to eat some outstanding meals. as far as prefrence goes on trad. or creative cusine goes i have none i just wanna eat good. if anthing i would lean more towards the creative side tho. as far as the bouchons go i have heard about them but don't relly understand what they are. from what i understand and this may be a bad way to put it but is it something similar to like a pizzaera where you go in and have a nice quick type of meal. or am i way off. as it looks i may only have time for three meals in france unfortunatly. one lunch and two dinners. one dinner will hopefully be at troisgros and the rest are in the air. also what does say a typical dinner tasting menu cost at a 2-3star esatblishment. also do resturants also feature tasting menus during lunch or is lunch more or less a la carte.

cabrales i ever tell you how great you are thank you very much. as far as the hotels in lyon go i would like to keep it at around 100us or lower if at all possiable.i would also like to keep kinda close to the train station as possiable also, to make getting there in the morning as easy as possiable. as far as dining goes i have never been to france before so any recommendations would be welcomed. i will also be dining alone if that makes a diffrence(how is dining alone in france is it tough to get a table as a solo diner).i also want to note the lack of french that i speak so an english speaking facility would be wonderful. on my final night there i am hoping to take in a meal at troisgros. also is there anywhere in lyon where one could pickup some fine kitchenwere. thank you

i am going to roanne from nov.28-dec.3 to do a stage at troisgros. i will be arriving in lyon on the 27th and need recommendations on where to stay at for the day as i will be staying at troisgros during my stage. i need to also find out the best possiable way to get to roanne from lyon as i need to be at work by 9:00am. while in lyon also i would like to go shopping for possiably a new knife or some nice copper cookwear can anyone recommend anywhere. i also do not speak french so anywhere where english is spoken would be a plus. thank you

did you ever write up a review of the place when you went. how was it, what did you have , how was the service, was it a good diffrent or bad diffrent in the two places.

No Biggie! But is that not awful to try and get away doing something like that? actually its not awful its illeagle its called a truth in menu law. i have no clue how its inforced but i remember learning about it in school.
