Early-bird dinners

[marge201]

Looking for good Early-Bird Dinners in north Jersey.

3 of us have a rule for taking each other out for

birthdays: has to be an early-bird!

Any ideas in Fort Lee, Englewood, etc?

Amanda's in Hoboken has a 3 course dinner for $25 for 2 people.

China 46 in Ridgefield is now offereing an "early bird special" for 8.95 or so on weekdays. i'm not sure what it consists of, but the place has some brilliant food, and that's quite a deal.

Rosie,

Thanks for the Amanda early-bird reminder!

I was there only once, for brunch, and it was FANTASTIC.

Let me throw one in here:

Peter’s Grill & Restaurant, 613 Anderson Ave, Cliffside Park

941-6623 and 941-6668

Owner: Chef George (he's from Egypt) great food, great steak!

I've been there many times. The place is great. Chef George

cooks and serves, and does a great job.

I'm not positive tommy, but I think the C46 "Early Bird Menu" is filled with "Rich Tradition in America" items, which is C46 code talk for "the boring stuff".

Then again, its still probably pretty good.

I just took a look at the China 46 early-bird offering.

Looks just fine to me.

Thanks for the tip!!

jhlurie's point is very valid: china 46 shines when you're not ordering run-of-the-mill "chinese" stuff.

however, glancing quickly at the early bird menu, i think i can suggest Pork Chop Beijing Style and kong po chicken. do, however, try some other selections from their regular menu, if you can.

can i ask if this is a "financial" issue, or more of a "where can we eat at 4.30 or 5 o'clock" issue. that would help with recs.

Hi Tommy,

[[ can i ask if this is a "financial" issue, or more of a "where can we eat at 4.30 or 5 o'clock" issue. that would help with recs. ]]

We're cheap!!

Most early-birds end at 6:30 which is a problem sometimes getting

there on time.

Got more ideas for us?

I have a question. Peter’s Grill & Restaurant, 613 Anderson Ave, Cliffside Park

What kind of food? Is it BYO?

[Jason Perlow]

At Yamaguchi in Fort Lee, Sushi is 50 percent off on Friday nights.

At East Sushi in Bergenfield on Washington Street, Mondays is "tuna day". All their different tuna rolls are half price.

Also, Jingle Inn, another recently opened sushi place (which was quite good when we went recently) on Grand Avenue in Ridgefield also offers sushi discounts on certain days, but I don't remember exactly when.

Hi Rosie,

Yes, it's BYO.

The food is a little of everything, I guess. I'm not a steak eater but it looked so good, that the next time I was there and I had it. It

was fabulous. I've had fish there. You order what he's

got up on his little blackboard. Great salad I remember. I've enjoyed

everything there.

It's cute in there and very reasonable, and if it's convenient, ya gotta try it.

Yamaguchi is half price for sushi only on Fridays & Saturdays from 5:30-7:30, I'm 90% sure.

Jingle Inn's "Happy Hour" is Monday-Friday 5-7 PM, 30% off Sushi a la carte & rolls only.

Re: China 46 Eartly Bird...

Basil Chicken is VERY good.

[Rachel Perlow]

Marge, even with those discounts don't expect to get off cheap at Yamaguchi or the Jingle Inn.

[Rosie]

Marge--Have you ever been to Zio Michael which is near Peter's Grill? Any good?
