Hey Paul,

I’ve heard a lot of positive stuff about R&R. The seven course tasting menu throws me off, but they are now doing a prix fixe menu where you can choose your own dishes on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s. May have to try that.

Let me know what you think if you try the prix fixe.

Has anyone tried Bistro d’Azur in Maplewood? It came up in my FB feed

South Orange. I’ve been twice now and both times it was excellent!

Same as Ian. I think we’ve been three times. My only complaint is the menu rarely changes. The lobster crepe is my favorite dish.

Don’t even know if it was BYO or not. But The Fox & Falcon by David Burke in South Orange closed in recent months. Never went.

Another local failure, Village Hall Restaurant, closed and is relauching (or has) as Felina Steak South Orange (both operated by Landmark Hospitality Group). Have to assume it will be another dismally overpriced failure. With a FEW notable exceptions, SOMA (or MAPSO to the other side of town) really isn’t a fine dining mecca. Fine by me. I’d rather head to some obscure dosa place in Edison. Us and another couple did this about two months ago, whipped out the wine, glasses, and our own utensils (all they have are plastic). Food was fantastic, service fine. Could sit there as long as we liked. Suffice it to say we were the only people “like us” and most everyone got a kick out of our presence. Exotic!

Isn’t Felina a chain?

Pretty sure it is since there is a Felina close to us in Ridgewood and there is a similarly logoed place at EWR terminal A
