These are unique tastes, and well prepared and presented. My only hesitation regarding the 5-stars is the price -- which seems a bit much.

Had an early Valentine's Day dinner with the wife the day before Valentine's Day. Brasserie Memere…read moreis an upscale French restaurant located in the Target plaza of Closter. The lighting is dim, the ambiance is intimate, and it looks romantic. I had made reservations so we were seated immediately. It's funny to note that the place settings were placed next to each other instead of across from each other at a four person table. We usually prefer to face each other, but when it's Valentine's day why not be cute? We ordered a few drinks during our dinner, the Sugar Plum Fairy, Memere 75, Avion en papier. My favorite was definitely the Avion en papier which had a slightly sweet, slightly bitter, citrusy taste. They had a pre fixe menu for Valentine's Day which unfortunately did not have the steak tartare i was interested in trying. But for $88, you get 3 courses: an appetizer, entree, and dessert. For our appetizers, we got the TARTARE DE THON (tuna tartare) and COCKTAIL DE CREVETTES GEANTES (shirmp cocktail). Between the two, i preferred the tuna tartare. The shrimp cocktail was good, but the only thing really special about it was the massive size of the shrimp and the freshly grated horseradish in the cocktail sauce. For our entrees, we got the CASSOULET DE CANARD and FILET MIGNON. The extremely tender duck leg confit was served with pancetta, white beans, toulouse sausage, and foie gras breadcrumb. It was rich, savory, fatty, and filling. All great words to describe food. The duck leg confit reminded me a little bit of a smoked turkey leg with the red coloring and shreddable texture. The filet mignon was served with pomme purée, wild mushrooms, and a bordelaise sauce. The filet was cooked medium rare as requested, but a bit under salted. The pomme purée aka mashed potatoes tasted like it was 50% butter so it was obviously delicious. Dessert was good, but my least favorite part of the meal. We got the TAHITIAN VANILLA CRÈME BRÛLÉE and the VALRHONA CHOCOLAT POT AU CRÈME. Both were very sweet. The brûlée crust did not shatter well, but it otherwise had a nice creamy texture. The chocolate pot was covered in flaky feuilletine which gave a nice contrast to the creamy chocolate, but my wife found the brandied cherries overpowering. The cherries made me think of German chocolate cake. Service was excellent. Staff was quick to refill water and checked on us constantly. Pace of the meal was relaxed and I'd even say they were slow to bring us the check since we had been dining for over 2 hours. My wife wants me to bring her back for their bottomless brunch on a Sunday so I will eventually be back.

Over the hill and under the bridge. My journeys... nay... my conquests took me to Schraalenburgh…read moreroad earlier this 2025. My writings took me elsewhere in between then and now but I close the year with a score for "The Hill." The hills were rolling with endless space for me and my constituents to graze. We stretched out for a late lunch / early dinner (depending what type of guy / gal / etc you are). Not sure what led us down this path, but it was obviously the less traveled. We ate solo. The attention of the staff was, as you could expect, grand... yet still a tad slow on the food. Questionable, but I didn't ask the question. Questions need answers, and if you want to stop questions you stuff someone's mouth. They stuff your mouth alright. The calamari is not only tasty, but plentiful. A plate overfilling with calama you wonder what lovely inland jersey pond they rescued this quantity from. We got a side of fries to share, same story, but carb based. Clearly no potato famine in the near future. We finished off our finishings with a steak, some rigatoni and the duck. I always order best so I can't fully judge the other dishes. Clearly, I ordered the duck - Man of class and integrity. The steak was apparently a 4.5/5. The pasta was apparently a 3.5/5. But the Duck was a 5/5. Beautifully cooked, wonderfully presented and just filling enough. So - for me - I had a five star midday experience. But everyday is a 5/5 for me. I'm happy. I'm charming. I'm brilliant. Linguini B is undoubtedly ready to run up The Hill again in the near future. Knees high, head down, on the balls of my feet... ready for whatever comes my way.

The prosciutto and melon was by far the best we've ever had. The beef carpaccio was melt-in-your-mouth amazing. The bolognese was heavenly, and the lava cake was sinfully delicious.

The buttermilk fried chicken breast was crispy and juicy, and the roasted peppers, poblano ranch, lettuce, and onions added great flavor without overpowering it.

The express lunch was a very reasonable price for 3 courses. Even before that, the complementary cheesy bread was an A+. In addition to that, the French onion soup was perfectly broiled cheese on the savory onion taste beneath. The lamb shank was a pretty special dish with a tasty blend of tender meet and orzo with just the right amount of feta cheese sprinkled on. It was enough for two meals and barely fit into their boxes. Because I was so full, I got the tiramisu to go, but maybe because it's not going to have the same presentation as in person, but it looked pretty smushed up when it came in the to go box when I got it (so not due to transportation). Only mediocre note of the night, but it still tasted good. The menu had a lot of options so there were many dishes that appealed to everyone. I never had an empty glass of water. Everything tasted high quality. Definitely a great lunch experience for everyone.
