Restaurant gift for Christmas

[Casey]

Each year, we get my parents a gift certificate to a nice restaurant for Christmas, the goal being to send them someplace they wouldn't spend the money for themselves. They live in Rockaway in Morris County, and so far we have sent them to Scalini Fedeli, L'Allegria, Grand Cafe, Blackforest Inn, American Grill, most recently Andre's (which they absolutely loved), and the italian place in Parsippany or Whippany that NJMonthly always has near the top of its poll (name escapes me). They have really enjoyed each one. Anyone have any thoughts on additional nice choices in that area?

Why not repeat Andre's? It's a treat to return to some

place that you've loved and won't be perceived as a

dull repetition,I suspect. Do see Rosie's note re;Scalini

getting its liquor license.

Speaking of Restaurant Serenade...

Hopefully by the end of the week (technology gods willing ), you'll be able to order a gift certificate to this restaurant online.

The website is www.restaurantserenade.com - but give it a few more days for the updated stuff to go live.

Another thought. Bernards Inn

Great thought, Rosie; I'd like to return

there myself. Santa, are you listening?
