I was recently at The Frog and the Peach and it was outstanding. See if they have any openings. For something more casual go to Seven Hills of Istanbul in Highland Park. And certainly give us a report--about your dinner that is!

Binh Duong -- in the East West Shopping Plaza 61 1/2 Belleville Ave Bloomfield NJ 07003 Phone 973-680-8440/8441 Actually, we ate there recently and were disappointed. We kept saying--we must have orderred the wrong things. We do much better when Jason or Rachel order! Had the spring roll which tasted like dry hamburger meat; crispy squid which was as tender as a rubber band; a sweet/sour shrimp soup which was too sweet;and sauteed shrimp with ginger and scallions which was boring.

Actually, Lady S you can start a new topic if you wish--NJ Restaurants For Singles. Be sure to give us a report on The Ryland Inn.

I've never been to Martini's. The seafood lasagna (see menu on their page) looks good. Have you been there before? Be sure to give us a report and let me know if it is worth a trip. Also, is it BYO?

Ghostrider--We have 38 pages on the NJ board so feel free to scroll through them all and resurrect any topic you find interesting.

Are you going out? Where? Or are you staying home and cooking for your loved one? If you still haven't made a reservation there are restaurants listed on Table Hopping With Rosie at http://www.njmonthly.com/rosie/rnews.html

FYI-- Amanda's is nearly full for Sat.Feb.14 (only 10:00 and 10:30 available). However, they are offering a Valentine's Wine Dinner on Weds. Feb. 11 at 7:30. The 5-course, 5-wine dinner is priced at $75. per person. The menu can be viewed at their website www.amandasrestaurant.com.

Info on the chef has been on Table Hopping With Rosie since January. Chefs on the Move--Ed Soto is the chef at La Spezia, 338 South Ave E, Westfield (908-233-5334); BYO. So sorry that you had such a horrific experience.

I'm good with food.

Just checked. They have omakase-house special OMAKASE FOR TWO $52.50 OMAKASE FOR FOUR $99.95

They have good chocolate covered grahm crackers also.

Sorry--you know more about sushi than me so you are in charge. I think they have a "tasting" menu. But as soon as we are firmed up on the #'s you can call them. I'm bringing wine to drink. They are in Summit across the street from Adagio. Best to call or use map quest. Summit can be gotten to via Rt 24.

I called the restaurant and the answering machine stated the days they were open. Perhaps they were closed for vacation.
