"Wow--this is a fancy restaurant! They keep bringing us more water and we didn't even ask for it!" --My 5.75 year-old niece, about Bread Bar

We usually go to Northside Trattoria when we are in the area, but we decided that we want to try something different. Any ideas??

Garlic Rose I love this place (North Ave. in Cranford)

The Crossroads Very casual cajun/creole with live entertainment (North Ave. in Garwood)

Theresa's Never been but heard great things (Westfield)

Not sure what kind of place you are looking for. I work in Cranford so have some insight into the area.

I've been to Theresa's a few times, and it's pretty good. Although, if you've been going to Northside Trattoria, Theresa's is also Italian. A bit fancier, though, I think (only been to Northside once). They do make all their pasta fresh.

Those are all great recomendations, but I think I'll save them for dining with my wife.  I know the Crossroads is less expensive, any other ideas in the vein of cheaper good eats?

There is a Portuguese BBQ place on Raritan Ave in Clark. (Called Clark BBQ). It's about a block north of Walnut Ave.

Novita at 425 South Elmer in Westfield (it's off South Ave, just East of Central), byob, and pricey but very good

Mona Lisa at 157 E. Westfield Ave in Roselle Park just reopened - there's a fine dining side and a more casual bbq pub food side. We've done the latter and the food was good (not byob)

Great burgers and such at the Cellar Grill in the Cranford Hotel on South Union ave in Cranford (not byob)

Thailand, in an old diner on Central Ave in Clark (about a half mile north of exit 135) byob

Haven't been there in a long time, but Pecos Grill on North Ave in GArwood wasn't bad (byob)
