    Our third time to dine at Amerigo. The food has been consistently good and the wait staff is always very attentive. They take reservations seriously - our tables have been available when we arrived. We will definitely continue to dine at Amerigo.

    Fantastic vibe, beautifully decorated, great energy, gracious service. 2 loved the salmon, 1 adored the linguini with shrimp, we all devoured the Brussels sprouts and sauteed mushrooms. The owner Jeanie gave us a backstage tour, a huge roving band of Santas serenaded the room, HO HO HO we are hooked!

    Chez Catherine is our favorite fine dining restaurant in New Jersey. While there are many restaurants that have great food, none of them compare to the elegance and the experience of Chez Catherine. The current owner has restored Chez Catherine to its former status when Catherine owned the restaurant. It's a small restaurant located in a Best Western hotel, but don't let it fool you. The service is outstanding, as is the food. You can order a 3 or 4 course price fix menu. The wine list is large, varied, with outstanding vintages from both the US and Europe. My wife had the foie gras (a $20 supplement) and I had the risotto of the day (crumbled sausage, red cabbage, parmesan cheese). Both were outstanding. We both opted for the Duck Confit entree. It was delicious. For dessert, my wife ordered the Raspberry Souffle ($5 supplement) and I had the Chocolate Bread Pudding. They were delicious, and as we left we made reservations to return in January.
