  1. Well we finally got to Delmonico's. It's the old Fiddleheads on Schralenberg Road in Closter.

    I had heard they were having problems with the kitchen, mixing orders up and very slow going. But, they are open about a month now and we thought around 6:30 on a Fri. night might be OK.

    So this past Fri, off we went. I ordered the Jambalaya, which the waitress said was spicy, it was very good but definitely not spicy. My friend had a filet mignon, she said it was very good. Her husband had the prime rib, which was hanging over the plate when it arrived, but he said that half of it was fat, and my hubby had a sirloin which he said was good but not cooked the way he asked. (too well done). The waitstaff seemed to have problems too. They removed the bread and butter from the table, (we thought they were replenishing them) never to be seen again. There was no butter then for the baked potatoes. And it never appeared even when we asked our waitress for some more.

    The same thing happened to the cream for coffee. We asked for half and half only to be brought milk. And when we asked again for cream, it came after everyone had finished their coffee and dessert.

    I guess every new restaurant has kinks to work out. We will have to try it after the holidays. Hopefully the kinks will be smoothed out by then.

  2. Stopped at the Horn & Hardart Coffee Co. on Broad Avenue in Leonia today on my way home.

    I had a cappuccino to go. It was good. I have had better and have had much worse.

    They have about 8 small tables and serve pastries, muffins, sandwiches, soup, salads, smoothies and the Horn & Hardart

    Classics ( Mac & Cheese, Rice Pudding, Pearl Tapioca, Creamed Spinach, & Barbecue Beans)

    They have PB&J and Grilled Cheese sandwiches for the kids.

    Nice clean place, might be ok for a quick lunch.

  3. The only way you will ever get a burger in a restaurant in North

    Carolina, is well done! It is a state law!

    You can get your steaks rare, but anything with ground meat must be

    well done. The ground beef harbors bacteria!
