as i recall, david echoed one of my problems with the place: plates are too busy with gratuitous garnish. however, it's very un-ridgewood in attitude, which i appreciate. and the soup i had was outrageous. (other dishes were decent enough). desserts aren't made on premises as far as i understand, but are very good.

no indian steak curry. indians.

sounds like a typo to me .

is anyone doing mustards? is there a list? i'd be curious to see what's going down.

i fergit the name (kumo perhaps?), but one thing it has going for it is it's *huge*. this tells me that you can walk in a get a table without waiting 1/2 hour or whatever the waits are at sakura bana, wasabi, et al. please report back if you try it.

i really don't get it, aside from my possible ubiquity, for there are far more interesting people on egullet every day. cuter and more charming, probably not, but more interesting, clearly.

it's one of the most popular sushi places in ridgewood (out of what seems to be 20). i've ordered take-out several times, and find the fish very fresh and food good overall. however, it ain't cheap.

filet mignon over wild mushrooms. with "french fries." every time i go back to filet, i think "why didn't i cook ribeye?"

i love "datar."

i was just about to suggest that the "jersey" accent that you hear/hear about in the media and whatnot more closely resembles that of people who live in staten island, long island, brooklyn and queens. on a related note, my brother in law is from queens. i'm, however, from straight parents.

osso buco. wild mushroom risotto. broccoli rabe with anchovy and garlic.

You know, I'm reading this, over and over and thinking.....is there some new cool phrase that I don't know about here?....until I realize retail=retain............duh if i could bottle my anonymity i'd surely sell it.

i'm guessing that everyone at dinner will know who they are at that time. the point, however, is that the rest of the world won't know where they will be and when they will be there. or perhaps a should have said "a point," as i'm only suggesting one scenerio, clearly of many, where people might want to retain some level of anonymity.

why is this so strange? can you not come up with even one scenario that might make sense?

they tend to stick together when i use them. make sure your filling isn't cold, as it doesn't have long to heat up since the wontons cook in less than a minute.

perhaps they have a new approach. but in my discussions with her and her husband and her staff, i don't think that's the case. did you like the upscale atmosphere of janice?

agreed that it's really a bad idea, especially with the availability of "fresh" pasta. there are some threads on this, and it might be helpful so search on "ravioli". for me, i stopped using wontons and have never looked back.

and i find myself, yet again, being 1) informed 2) perceptive 2) correct 3) brilliant 4) unable to number correctly. is it really a surprise to you folk? oy.

janice bistro is well-known, in the celiac circles. janice has a separate menu. in my eyes, they "cater" to this. janice has several relatives with celiac, and is the most informed person i've come across regarding this issue (at least in restaurant circles, and then in my limited experience of inquiring). although i appreciate your commentary, there's probably no way that you would know janice's policy on this unless you have inquired of the disorder. bottom line, as ngatti has suggested, is if you have an allergy that might send you to the hostpital or kill you, it's up to you to figure it out. to do otherwise could be considered ignorant, or deadly.

you are either lying or completely misinformed. in fact, i'm not sure what you're suggesting. sorry either way. what's your point?

agreed. there are websites and a whole network of people that list restaurants that go to great measures to cater to this allergy. to think that any restaurant would be able to accommodate celiac upon walking in unannounced might be a little on the presumptuous side.

and you're not wearing an egullet t-shirt? for shame.

janice bistro, in ho-ho-kus, caters to gluten intolerant people. what's the name of that disorder again?

oh man, if 40 bottles walk through that door, ain't nobody walkin out!! quite a sight that would be.

no cheese. steak.
