It's been over a decade since I dined at this restaurant, just too expensive for frequent visits. Intimate setting, nice ambiance, quiet without being stuffy. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, the wine service was impeccable as four of us celebrating a birthday drank our way through three bottles. You have to appreciate the very limited menu choices as a tradeoff for quality to enjoy dining here. The 2-savory, 1-sweet prix fixe was definitely enough food, and I can recommend the fried artichoke and the crab cake; my friends also raved about the duck, the sirloin, and the tuna; each dish had many other side tastes and different items to accompany them. Food was original, and there were bursts of several tastes and flavors and textures on every plate, but curiously, the presentation of each was the same, a pile of circles in the middle of the plate. Both the duck and the crab cake had an onion ring circling the main protein. The server not only did not know which diner had ordered which dish, he could not identify which dish was which, making for confusion. At this price point, I expect the sang-froid and precision of a seasoned diner waitress, at least. I applaud that no one tried to remove a plate until all of us had finished, halleluljah someone still trains servers for that. Then we ordered coffee, and one of us asked that hers not be served until after dessert, the French custom, and that it be served hot. That request was honored, but no one asked when the rest of us wanted ours; I expected my coffee to arrive with dessert and was disappointed it wasn't. Worse was that having chosen a $9 hazelnut cappuccino, I was expecting unsweetened hazelnut-flavored coffee; instead it was clearly flavored with a hazelnut syrup that was sickeningly sweet. A bit of a disappointment to end a festive occasion. Call me a prickly fuss budget, but at over $100 per person, I want perfect everything. We were pre-disposed to have a great time, and we did, but it was carried more by our celebratory mood than by the experience, at least for me.The 10% cash discount was an unexpected plus.

Stopped in and we both ordered from their "Hooked on Tuesday" special which included choice of : 1.Salad, 2.Entree, 3.Dessert.
We were promptly shown to our table, served a loaf of bread with oil to dip in.
My wife had the Classic Caesar Salad, Atlantic Salmon* 8 oz.which includes 2 sides & Jen’s Jamaican Coconut Pie. ($18.90)
I had the Bonefish House Salad, Pecan Parmesan Crusted Rainbow Trout also includes 2 sides & the Macadamia Nut Brownie. ($21.90)
Everything that we ordered was excellent, the server attentive and the atmosphere was very nice. (the only complaint I had was the music was turned up a bit too high)
We had a great dining experience here, I would certainly return. Thanks.

We came here for dinner and had a good experience overall. Food was good, service was okay. For appetizers we ordered fried calamari, which was very good and mushrooms stuffed with crab and lobster, also very tasty. I had the chicken francese with spinach ravioli as an entree. Ravioli was excellent. Chicken was decent. It's a small establishment and has an old school feel. Service could have been better in all honesty.
6. Chart House
Overall Ratings

This restaurant is all about the view. When you mention Chart House to someone their first response is "They have such a gorgeous view of NYC!" If you strip away the view and "fine dining" facade, the food is really just average, especially for the price. The grouper last week was inedible. My mother ordered it sauteed and my sister in law ordered it grilled. Both came out deep fried (the piece was also microscopic for each of them). The "corrected" dishes weren't much better. We weren't charged for those dishes and the manager was very friendly. Our server during our most recent visit was friendly and attentive, although she insisted I wear plastic gloves she brought to the table for me to cut the cake (my family still hasn't stopped laughing).
Basically, this place is great for some appetizers, drinks, and/or dessert to admire the view. The dinner is decent but the quality doesn't justify the prices.
7. Levain Bakery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3 reviews
Nestled in New York City's Upper West Side, Levain headquarters is a cozy neighborhood bakery where locals are greeted by name. A steady stream of loyal regulars stand side by side with tourists, eager to sample the legendary baked goods. From an inventive array of rustic breads to the world-famous six-ounce chocolate chip walnut cookie, everything is baked on-site, fresh every day from the finest natural ingredients. What doesn't sell that day goes to help feed the hungry-a mission that has been solidly in place since the beginning. The bakery was founded in 1994 by friends Connie McDonald and Pam Weekes. At the time, Connie was in banking and Pam in Fashion. The two, both competitive swimmers, trained together for the Ironman and-not surprisingly, as their tireless workouts left them feeling starved for great food- they began a passionate dialog about creating the world's greatest chocolate chip cookie. Within just a few years, Levain Bakery had become a neighborhood institution and a destination for epicurious travelers from around the world. Demand continued to grow. In 2000, to satisfy their regular clientele summering in the Hamptons, the two opened a second bakery in the village of Wainscott on Long Island's East End. And today, through their website, they now ship their world-famous cookies to happy fans around the globe.

I got the chocolate chip and walnut cookie and the dark chocolate and peanut butter cookie.
While both cookies were wonderfully warm, fresh, and gooey (and remained remarkably so even after a 20-minute walk/subway ride to our hotel), I didn't find them significantly better than other fresh-baked cookies I've eaten-- at least, not better enough to be worth the line and price.

Located on the route 3 East Service Road in Secaucus New Jersey, borrelli is the best fine dining Secaucus has to offer.
The restaurant offers intimate dining with comfortable chairs and a well-appointed dining room. Service was impeccable, and the food was excellent.
I would put this restaurant in the category of one I would go to for special occasions. It's not cheap -
entrees range from the mid-twenties to $60. Entrees include only a vegetable. Salads and appetizers are additional.
The small lounge offers excellent drinks. The attached photo shoes their presentation of a bloody Mary.

We had a brunch in this restaurant. I had a crab slider as an appetizer and flan stake as a main course. Slider was good. Nothing special, but not bad. The flan stake was totally different experience. First, I asked for sunny side up eggs. But I got scrambled ones. Second, dish looked and tested like one you can get in the diner somewhere in the middle of nowhere. And the stake was very chewy. I can’t believe I can have it in the Hoboken…
