What other diner's gonna hit ya with a Tuscanesque patio to enjoy your bruncheon, luncheon or dinner? As the competition grows in the diner game, no longer can you just serve the basics well. Can you Benny? Can you create? Can you... innovate? ~ Innovation. Unfortunately, at an all time high yet at an all time halt for most of us. High quantity but in isolation. As I personally explored the electromagnetic waves that built up my now educationally legally binding master of a mind, I traversed into the igloo known as innovation. Detached yet still insulated, the modern man wants to but can't. The days of novelty have escaped us. With the AI introduction and the false sense of monetary province - the true creatives will be too distracted and cautious. The fools will fool the smarts. Smarts are too stupid to succeed, especially today. Unfortunately my humble and controversial upbringing led me to weigh my risks with safety more than others. My parents, whom were both wolves (as some of you know), were much smarter than humans. They chained me up, but they argued it was for my own good. I didn't understand it at first, but of course, as always, the "big bad wolves" were right. Shoutout Alexander T. Wolf. Painted a villain, but just needed some amoxicillin. ~ Anyways, Northvale is pure class. Once upon a time on a 100 degree day I pulled out the sticks with a few of the lads and rip some golf stick ball at some subpar course nearby (being kind). They had run out of carts. We walked. Undergarments a swampin', backs bombed with sweat, bodies drenched with stench. Calories over multiple of thousands burned, as said my smart watch. We followed it up with Three Boys, Northvale Classic and DQ. What a day. What a trio. More recently, I've introduced this institution to some unsophisticated New Yorkers and Connecticutians who know not a thing about real diners. Of course, their minds have been blown. Short rib grilled cheese? Chicken Sicilian Sandwich? Paninis? Dozens of deluxe burgers? And all done legitimately well? Yesssssir. Their Benny game is stronggggg... crab cake and short rib are show stoppers. Listen here you Linguini loyals, you cannot go wrong here. Pancakes. French toast. Omelettes. Tacos...Don't wanna be right? Too bad, you're still gonna be right. Don't get so caught up in your layers, onion boy. Sometimes you gotta self peel - show me what you got BJ Raji. Skip me with the discount and hit me with the double check, money doesn't maketh the man. Broke, obliging, and eternally happy... I do so appreciate a classic in Bergen - LB

The inside of the restaurant also pretty, all seemed so new, must have been renovated recently. Their menu was huge, had so many different types of breakfast, lunch and regular entree dishes. I ordered the Ruben with pastrami. It came with salad (replacing fries for extra charge) and coleslaw. I liked the sandwich, pastrami was good. But the coleslaw was awful, I could just taste the cabbage. I got to try salmon as well. It was a much better dish. Very nicely grilled and had excellent flavor as well. The fresh squeezed orange juice was good too. The staff were friendly. Even though the restaurant wasn't busy, it took them about 20 minutes to serve our meals. Wasn't sure it took that long because of the salmon. But overall was a good calm place for lunch.

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.
