Linden Tavern

12 February, 2008 | Family Restaurant, German, Traditional / American | By: Mr Z

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I saw the outside of this place.  It was located in a small strip center and looked like it had been there for many years.  Inside it was somewhat dark and “tavern-y” looking, but the service was prompt and friendly and you could tell that most of the […]

Contempo Cuisine

27 November, 2007 | Family Restaurant, Kosher, Traditional / American | By: Mrs Z

A very interesting, but very good totally kosher menu.  Everything was 100% kosher – no exceptions.  Fortunately this did nothing to affect the tastiness of the food.  I’m not sure what exactly we expected, but I guess we thought cooking “kosher” meant without flavor and were both pleasantly surprised to find this assumption to be way off.  While the dishes were […]

Parker’s New American Bistro

20 November, 2007 | Traditional / American | By: Mr Z

This was a pretty interesting menu.  Everything sounded normal, but each description emphasized “locally-grown” and “completely organic” and while we didn’t expect this to have a drastic change on the dishes, nothing had much flavor.  Whether this was due to the organic preparation, etc. or whether they just didn’t believe in seasoning we never figured […]

Austin’s Grille

22 October, 2007 | Steak / Seafood, Traditional / American | By: Mrs Z

I’m not even sure what category this belongs in.  This was just a ‘nice’ neighborhood restaurant.  Maybe just a steak / burger / salad place.  The atmosphere was somewhat sterile feeling, but very nice.  Our server was prompt and attentive, but not overly friendly and our food was ‘okl’ – not great!  I’m sure that […]

Falls Crossing

24 July, 2007 | Bistro, Steak / Seafood, Traditional / American | By: Mrs Z

Very neat looking place and while the menu was impressive, it was just okay.  We were the only ones in there and could almost understand why.  Very pricey entrees and the quality just wasn’t there.

James Dominick’s

10 July, 2007 | Bar, sandwiches / soups / salads, Traditional / American | By: Mrs Z

Big disappointment since we’d heard so much about it and it had been around such a long time.  The service was terrible and the food was barely edible.  We were just amazed that this could be the same place that we’d heard so many good things about! UPDATE – much to our surprise, shortly after […]

Grille Above the Valley

29 May, 2007 | Traditional / American | By: Mrs Z

Oh my….another one of those places that had no business being open for business.  The night we were there, the service was so bad that had we not been so hungry, we’d have walked out (even without a second choice), but we decided to hang in and by the time we ordered our drinks we […]
