I have been unimpressed by Legal in NJ Boston Legals seem better

in this mall-opolis

qn. is if Saigon Repub is great why go elsewhere unless you live in "UPPER" MONTCLAIR

why go to Nutley if you have Saigon Republic or Saigon Grill. What makes Little Saigon so good

within 20 miles Saigon Grill UPper east side also good

have not been

[hard-on] quite the contrary.

Thai Chef - branch just opened in Riverside Square although it is primarily Japanese menu Englewood - on the rise, Montclair falling

also increasing # of places in Westwood

while these towns lack "good" upscale restuarants I do see a trend in increasin upscale restaurants in these high end real estate areas. (atleast in summit, Montclair, Ridgewood

reason for the note that homes overpriced. When housing prices go up in certain towns (Montclair, Ridgewood) more restaurants show up. With the added restaurants perhaps more people see the town as attractive creating a positive vibe or allure that further increases housing prices. As the housing prices increase, more seemingly upscale restaurants pop up.

[Have you ever been hungry? Truly, painfully hungry?The kind of hunger that sears through your belly, making you feel hot and cold and weak, that takes over your brain so there seems to be nothing in the world to think about except your need to eat. ] - Luckily not. HAVE YOU MSP. I hope you are not on the fundraising committee.

decent restaurants, overpriced homes for such a bad school system, good train system IS IT WORTH THE trip for a Meal anymore. I used to frequent Thai Chef frequently when it was small. Now with expansion and slow service and food not as good. Overall has the rest of NJ caught up with Montclair.

I did leave out Epernay which is good and other places as well but is the dining experience in Montclair less than it once was??

what is so great about Montclair Thai Chef - a zoo, worse than before Blue Sky - bye bye Corso 98- very good Deja Vu - horrible service barbeque place in Montclair- why not just go to Finks 28 - have not been. Taro - pretty good but portions somewhat lacking DaiKiChi (Uppr Montclair) - pretty good have had better - Have left others out but is this town Losing its luster

place has grease pit written all over it.

Chicken Ginger worthy of take out - nice people

I have seen lobsters go anywhere from 10 dollars a pound to 25 a pound. See Morton's prices

A group of us were interested in going to EL CId. we were curious on pricing of the lobsters and were told that price cannot be disclosed on the phone. A lady there told us this. The other day we call and a guy answers and says at 4:45 he does not know the price for the lobsters and hangs up on us. As we were looking for a place for a decent sized work group, we wanted to make sure the price was within a certain range and we could not and chose to not go to El Cid. We wound up at M&S ($30 for app and dinner for most w/o wine) and I was totally disappointed. -new place Ohashis also in Riverside by the Thai Chef people (they are trying to pawn overpriced presliced sushi served by teenagers) - they also have some of the noodle dishes from Thai Chef.

looks like a total dive.

EL CID - is this place anygood or should we just skip it. went to McCormick and Schmick last week and totally uninspired perhaps ordered wrong. The tuna entree was in very small pieces like a tuna tataki but smallish portion and bad spice mixture. mussels app very small sauce not good -Pimaan -Chicken Ginger tried 2 times hottest chick ginger you will try due to the use of veru hot peppers! shrimp dumplings skip these.
