Rosie

I have information on Table Hopping With Rosie here: http://www.njmonthly.com/rosie/rnews.html Scroll down to the bottom.

I have not spoken with Carl yet but will let you know whatever I find out once I find it out!!! I also have a call into Dominick.

We were there recently. They haven't received their liquor license yet so BYO. Food was good enough that we would certainly try this restauant again. We especially liked the swordfish special and octopus salad. Desserts are made in house and there is one that is made with a thinnly sliced pound cake, whipped cream and berries that was scrumptious. Let us know what you think.

CONGRATULATIONS to Executive Chef, Mitchell Altholz on his EXCELLENT from the NY Times on 12/18/05.

Just a reminder to listen tomorrow.

Executive Chef Carl Ruiz is no longer at Cuban Pete's.

Marika Villik is no longer at Table 8.

Welcome to eGullet barb_b and let us know about other restaurants that you like to dine at.

In any case, Egan's is open for lunch.

I was at Table 8 for lunch a few weeks ago. Call and check to see if they have changed their hours. Trattoria Fresco in Caldwell is open for lunch also.

Lalazar Egan & Sons Greek Delights--booths only sit 4 Marc & Eric’s Kitchen Pantry and Catering, This is more of a take-out so call to see how many they can handle Palazzo

So sorry to hear this as Executive Chef Thomas Ciszak is very talented but poor service is a big turnoff.

Is this a new restaurant? Are they BYO?

In South Orange: Ariyoshi Japanese Restaurant 54-56 W South Orange Ave, South Orange (973-378-8818);.. Cafe Arugula 59 South Orange Ave South Orange 201-378-9099 Both BYO.

Can you give us the address?

When we were in Portland OR we dined at a restaurant called Family Supper that had started out as an underground dining restaurant. You could only get a reservation by invitation. But you asked about "dining groups" also and if you find any I certainly would be interested.

It's so exciting to watch the progress of Amazing Hot Dog.

I will be a guest on "Dining Today with Pat Tanner" on Saturday morning December 17 from 9 to 10 AM eastern time over Nassau Broadcasting's MoneyTalk station, WHWH (AM 1350). The broadcast can also be heard via computer at http://www.moneytalk1350.com/. If you wish to call with a question the toll free phone number is: 888-578-2428.

Welcome to eGullet forceten and be sure to give us reports on all the places you dine at.

You forgot to post my entree. I had a double serving of an appetizer: sake marinated salmon with tapioca , cucumbers and wasabi. I had this dish last week and loved it so much that I ordered it again. Ditto to the above comments. The dinner was extraordinary. Great food, wines and dining companions all came together for a truly epicurean feast.

Haven't been back yet.

30 Church Street in Montclair, between the new Raymond's and Taro free parking in the new Church Street garage Nice place, and their yellow lab retriever is quite playful ← The Church Street garage is free till Dec. 31 and only for the first four hours. Meters in Montclair will be free after Dec 12 to ? Probably till Christmas. Bought some very interesting inexpensive wines at Amanti Vino.

I thought the steaks at Frankie and Johnney's were very good but couldn't stand the noise or the smoke. Yes, we were in the non-smoking section and it was smokey.

Has anyone been to The Jefferson since Chef Michael Coury left?

The Cup Joint, 732 Jefferson St, Hoboken (201-222-2660); BYO. Info Here: http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showto...39&hl=Cup+Joint
