  • Barnegat scallops and Jersey corn | The Cassidy Bar + Kitchen | NJ Restaurant Reviews | foodwithaview.comEat and drink local at The Cassidy Bar + Kitchen
    The Cassidy Bar & Kitchen opened in Maplewood in fall 2018 in the Clarus Building, a controversial addition to the heart of downtown Maplewood. South Orange natives and Maplewood residents Tom and Jennifer Carlin set out to create a restaurant that would simultaneously serve the local need for a casual burger and a beer and attract food-forward diners craving something new.  Did they succeed? In my view, yes....
  • Greek mezze platter with pita breads | EVOO + Lemon restaurant review | foodwithaview.commediterranean memories at EVOO + Lemon
    We have always enjoyed Mediterranean food.  The food and wine adventure of summer 2018 catapulted our appreciation for the simple yet sublime flavors of Greek cuisine to new heights.  Characterized by so many of my favorite things, Greek cuisine features grassy olive oil, bright and citrusy lemon, fresh and flavorful herbs. Northern New Jersey is home to a number of restaurants serving authentic Greek cuisine alongside Greek-influenced dishes that feature the culinary delights of the entire Mediterranean....
  • Scallops at the Cassidy Bar and Kitchen | best NJ restaurants for date night | photo by jenn kosar at foodwithaview.comdate night redux: two years later
    Hard to believe, but it has been over two years since I posted one of my most-used restaurant lists and the inspiration behind food with a view. I rounded up my favorites and featured 100 Steps, which later grabbed top honor as my favorite restaurant.  Date nights are on my mind lately, as we celebrated 23 years of dining out together on April 12. Our shared love of a good meal is high on the list of reasons for the longevity of this particular love story! So what to do with all those anniversaries and milestones?  Update the list, of course!...
  • Chili Soy Edamame and Kung Pao Chicken Wings | Talde Jersey City | NJ restaurant reviews by foodwithaview.comfood, fun and fusion at Talde Jersey City
    Talde Jersey City (or “Talde JC”) offers unique pan-Asian dishes with broad appeal and a welcome thread of authenticity that food-diverse locals have come to expect. The signature dishes showcase Chef Dale Talde’s experience bringing high quality Asian-inspired fusion to American restaurants. Recent additions reflect the lighter touch of Chef Ruby Felix, expanding the range and palette of the Talde experience. Add up all the elements: creative dishes designed for sharing, vibrant, industrial-chic decor, plus drinks thoughtfully harmonized with the flavor-packed food, and you have yourself a delicious date night....
  • What to eat on a trip to Paris | Cheese cart in a Paris food market | Restaurants, cafes, food markets and more | Culinary adventures in Paris on foodwithaview.coma culinary adventure in Paris, part two
    Welcome back!  I hope you enjoyed part one of our culinary adventure through the city (and food!) of Paris. In part two, we will get to the good stuff — the restaurants. My full list of favorite places I have visited, from delicious croissants to start the day to that last glass of wine to end the evening. From cheap and cheerful to wallet-busting Michelin stars. And everything in between. ...
  • What to eat on a trip to Paris | Pretty pink chairs at a Paris sidewalk cafe | Restaurants, cafes, food markets and more | Culinary adventures in Paris on foodwithaview.coma culinary adventure in Paris, part one
    Paris may not be the first place that springs to mind for most of you when the topic of where to go for spring break comes up over dinner. But for Gary and I, springtime in Paris isn’t all that strange. Where else would two food lovers go on vacation? We have visited Paris multiple times, with a range of budgets and culinary sophistication — from newbies with no money to food writers with far more discretionary income. And of course, I took notes on every step of the journey. Well, at least on the food....
  • Eating brunch and reading the paper | Best brunch restaurants in northern NJ | foodwithaview.comcelebrate spring with brunch: my favorites in northern new jersey
    Loyal foodwithaview.com readers know, brunch is my favorite meal. Whether dining out to celebrate Mothers’ Day or a friend’s birthday, dining in on a lazy Sunday, or hosting a party, brunch hits the mark. It pleases everyone with a mix of sweet and savory flavors. This luxurious weekend meal encourages champagne consumption, mixed with fruit or straight up. In my view, there is no better way to celebrate the arrival of spring than brunch. Choose an outdoor spot and bask in the sun that has finally arrived. Updated for 2018, my list of favorite places for brunch in northern New Jersey (now with outdoor spots!)....
