The Restaurant Hackensack

anyone been? good, bad or too overpriced.  I heard the atmosphere is nice but what about the food?

I ate at the Restaurant after they were opened for a short while. The food was okay, but the service was terrible. The place is pricey. When we got the bill, we checked it over and found that they overcharged us for our steaks. When we brought it to the waiters attention, he told us it was a computer error. We ordered an Anniversary cake when we sat down and for dessert they gave us a Birthday cake, When I told them they made a mistake in the cake they gave us, I was told by the waiter, "everyone celebrates a birthday during the year:!. The manager of the restaurant never came over to us to apologize for any of the problems we had had. I will not go back to this restaurant again. For the prices they charged, it was not worth the aggrevation.

Has anyone eaten here recently ?

My coworkers went there just for drinks and light nosh, said it was good,  pricey and dark.

I 'm going tonight with a crowd of people, just wanted to know what to order or avoid. I don't even expect good service for our numbers.

Haven't been but I await your report. Friends who have gone have liked the upscale atmosphere and food but I really don't have any specifics to give you.

The food is very very good as longer as you don't order the Pasta dishes.  The salmon in puff pastry was wonderful, the short rib named "yadda dabba (do)" was reportly great and eaten to the bone ( there were no crumbs for those of us suffering with the bland saffron Fettucini with lobster and shrimp)The lamb dish was excellent.

The appetisers are amazing, we got 2 seafood towers- crab legs,  shrimp and oysters, clams on the half shell.

We also passed around a soft shell crab tempura with a ginger sauce- very tasty.

they have an excellent variety of breads -- you must try the pepper breadsticks.

The deserts are  wonderful- we got a sampler platter.

We are going back next saturday, I can't wait.

There's also a weird singles night life happening there. There's a big single thing happening at the bar with patrons in their's sixties and seventies dressed  as if they were in their 20's complete with frozen faces from facelift.

Other than  than, it's really a special nite out,  to relax, eat and drink.
