The Mason Jar in Mahwah may claim to have a real bbq pit, but it takes like steamed meat, with hardly any flavor

Actually it was 2 posts, one was blank. I like it, there's not many places in the area like it. I'm trying to eat healthy these days and most restaurants put too much white flour, butter, and not enough high quality ingredients. Do you know any other places in north bergen county area like that? I've been back a few times. Each as good as the last! ←

We went last Friday. I had Mahi Mahi crusted with pecans and garlic spinach and a red cabbage side dish. My husband had steak, sweet potato roasted fries and roasted asparagus. The decor is warm earth tones with a bistro flair. Everything was quite good. I felt like I was eating healthy but indulging at the same time. There's an open kitchen. The general feeling I get from the menu is fresh food, not fried, no sugar or white flour. The menu tells you it's perfectly fine to substitute any side and they list the sides separately for this reason. It looks like it works real well for lo carbers. Except deserts which are quite yummy. I had a chocolate something or another and died and went to heaven. So much for the healthy eating
