Yes. And it's The Fat Kat. I'll fix the topic title. Antonio R. Goodman former chef at Citrus Grille and sous chef at Cafe Panache is the owner of Fat Kat, 201 Main St, Little Ferry; BYO. The menu listed crispy vegetable spring rolls with peanut dressing, spicy Chinese mustard and dim sum dipping sauce. The spring rolls were soggy served over greens with a spicy dressing. There wasn't any dipping sauce or Chinese mustard on my plate. The other appetizer was a warm goat cheese fritter salad with apple-honey thyme vinaigrette. There was nothing special to differentiate this salad from other salads although the presentation was very pretty with a fan of sliced apples decorating the plate. One entrée was a special of tilapia wrapped with zuccchini and stuffed with crabmeat, eggplant and pesto accompanied by a potato pancake and medley of fresh vegetables. It was very good and the fish was moist. The sliced hanger steak would have been much better without the fricassee of mushrooms, onion, peppers and homemade steak sauce. The sauce drowned the steak. We shared a homemade peanut butter ice cream which I can recommend. With tax and tip the bill was about $72. Phone: 201-814-0234.

They are BYO. Bring all your good stuff!!! Lowell and I are in.

OK--someone needs to take charge. How is Feb 12 or Feb 19 for lunch.?

Hate to say it but from Wayne we're 20 minutes if that. Probably the same distance to Montclair. Tell the boys from Facino we're coming. Most likely after Valentine's day. Tommy, Rock, Ganz, Rail, Rosie, etc. I think we're due for another dinner. I'll bring some wine. Rock's goota drive though. If the boys from Facino have been up by me I wish I'd known. As we all know, egulleteers always introduce themselves after dining. Right Suzy I'm in.

I'm not a big fan of rodizo as I find the food to be too salty. But here are some places that you might try. Never tried rodizo at these places but maybe someone else can give you more info. Brasilia 132-A Ferry St. Newark 973-465-1227 Iberia Tavern and Restaurant 82 Ferry ST. Newark 973-344-7603 Seabra’s 21 1034 Mc Carter Highway Newark 201-622-6221

Get there!! It's worth the drive and you can always sleep at Fascino's!!

bp1123 is planning this party for a Sunday. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Fascino is closed on Sundays? Fascino will open for a private party on Sundays.

In New Brunswick you could try Stage Left.

Corso 98, Montclair Fascino, Montclair Osteria Giotto, Montclair Cosmos, Bloomfield ALL BYO.

Haven't been but how about Lateral Wine Bar, 547 Franklin Ave, Nutley?? Anyone been?

Lunch menu was small but ok. Never been for dinner.

Was at Cafe Abracci about a month ago and was disappointed in the food and decor which needs a good sprucing up.

The Cornerstone in Metuchen used to have jazz. Give them a call.

Lunch was ok. Have you been there for dinner?

French Bisto with a full bar. Open two weeks.

I was just at City Bisto in Hoboken for lunch and didn't see anything. Next time tell me before I am in that area!

Helena--WHAT WONDERFUL NEWS ABOUT KEN. THANKS FOR SHARING. And be sure to give us a report about Stage House.
