Barth's in new providence

popped by to get a valentines menu yesterday, WHAT HAPPENED? everything about the menu and staff is different. sorry about my posting yesterday, it happened erroneously. It's a little far to go for me, but Zagat has a few member reviews here: http://www.zagat.com/verticals/PropertyDet...?VID=8&R=114542 It must be new, because there are just a few reviews and Zagat still has questions marks under "Food Decor Service Cost" ← some recent information from this board in october http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showto...&hl=meyersville ← My wife and I stopped by there about two months ago for drinks, we had a nice time, great wines by the glass and looked at the menu. It was interesting and the bartender, whom, I think, may have been new gave a great schtick about the chef and menu. We went back a few weeks ago and ate at the bar, just a few appetizers, crab cake, a fried squid dish, and a chanterelle soup. All were different from what we expected, bonus, they were great. Wish I had remembered to post earlier, but I've been busy and this thread jogged my memory. ← ←

My wife and I stopped by the Meyersville Inn, in the great swamp, for a drink this past weekend. They had a great wine list, and wines by the glass, we had already eaten but the menu looked really interesting. has anybody been there recently for dinner?

Check out the Meyersville Inn in Gillette.

mixed bag of reviews for Mohawk House in Sparta, but I've heard they made some radical changes (i.e. new menu and kitchen staff) and that things have made a turn for the better.

I have only been there once, and had a very GOOD meal. But the prices don't seem to be in context with the food and unless the wine list has been largely over hauled, there were not many, if any, selections under $120.00. The wine list however is indeed fantastic except for that one over sight.

Congratulations to Humberto at Lorena's and Peter at Terra. I wish you both continued success.

and right across the street, Terra, got a 3 1/2 star review in the star ledger same day.

definately Louis Latour Grande Ardeche @$9.00 and change

Maybe you should call chef Ben Del Coro at the Mohawk House in Lake Mohawk, I heard that they are adding a new kitchen in the not so distant future and they may be interested in doing something along those lines.

I have been away for awhile, Europe mostly, and now it seems as tho our favorite places, for different reasons, in Maplewood have been sold or closed. Has anyone heard anything aboutn American Fare, Celebrated foods or Jocelynnes?

kosher as in legal. health codes, insurance issuses etc.

chris and ellen are actually working out of another unamed restaurants kitchen, to do it out of their house would not be exactly kosher. their catering business just got so huge that it was more profitable to drop the ala carte aspect of their cuisine.

We don't get out often, but, half the time we go to byo's. when we have a special occasion and want to open our really gooood wines I will always call ahead and speak to the chef or dining room manager, get some idea's about what will match with his/her menu and guive them the heads up that we will be bringing something that may reguire special handling ie. decanting or breathing, specific glasses etc. I have had our wines handled very well when we take the time to call, and when that happens I wil tip most graciously. I have not been let down yet
