date night redux: two years later

Scallops at the Cassidy Bar and Kitchen | best NJ restaurants for date night | photo by jenn kosar at foodwithaview.com

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! … [Read more...]

Bowl of pasta and a glass of wine for lunch | Summit House restaurant in Summit, NJ | NJ restaurant reviews on foodwithaview.com

Summit House, in Summit, NJ, is one of the latest additions to the long-awaited restaurant overhaul so desperately needed in the area. I like to give new restaurants some space before jumping to form a view. Even the best sometimes need time to find their rhythm. Not needed here: from my first visit, I knew Summit House was different. Right from the start, the team delivered the delicious food and excellent service I have now come to enjoy time and again. Whether it is a casual lunch, date night, or a meal with friends, Summit House makes every meal feel special. … [Read more...]

September 24, 2017 foodwithaview 2 Comments

Two things I cannot say no to: pizza, and a good challenge. Nothing brings them together like a New Jersey food blog that seeks to bring readers a view on the best pizza in the area. Can you say you have tried all the family-owned neighborhood institutions in operation for decades? What about all the new artisanal, gourmet varieties? Have you ever tried to choose your favorite pizza place? I mean really, just one? … [Read more...]

Like a lot of people, when it comes to food, it has become more natural to think and shop local.  Food is fresher, tastes better, and there is the feel-good element of supporting local farmers and communities.  The farm-to-table movement may be becoming a bit of old news, but we have it to thank for elevated eating in so many of our local towns and around the country. … [Read more...]

wine preservation system taps behind the bar

BYO.  It's a term that stands for "Bring Your Own", in reference to "bottle", "booze", or "beer" -- and I am not sure was in my vocabulary until we moved to Maplewood.   These days, it's a way of life. … [Read more...]
