Everyone tries to imitate New York City - sometimes they succeed - sometimes its "a good try" - Edgewater's (NJ) - River Palm Terrace - comes close - but can't quite light the cigar -
- Oysters were fresh - $14.95 for a 6 pc. sampler - I'm spoiled by New Orleans -
- Chopped Salad left me wanting - although - everyone gets one -
- Mussels appeared to be a hit -
- Tuna Tartar was different - too chopped for me - but the spiciness was exciting - two votes against the seaweed which had a slight "fishy" taste -
- Thick Sliced Smoked Bacon - with BBQ sauce - two pieces - very bacony taste - texture of end cut ham - interesting but I would not revisit this app - although I've heard its become a "steakhouse standard" -
- Steaks are good - prime but not aged - the prices are definitely Manhattan - $37 for Filet Mgnon - $84 for Porterhouse for Two - most at the table ordered Sunday's Special - Rib-Eye topped with Sauteed Onions
- Double Loin Lamb Chops - excellent -
- Veal Chop - good - not electrifying - should have been for the dollars charged -
- Creamed Spinach - good but lacks the extra seasoning that would give it personality -
- Hashed Browns are excellent - a sizable portion - perfect crispness -
- Sauteed Spinach satisfied those who ordered it - though no one went for the leftover -
- Baked Potato ($6.95 for one) was a baked potato -
- They're gone big into Sushi - we didn't go there -
- The Wine List shows depth - wide range of prices - quickly spikes upwards in price -
- Bourbon selection is excellent - I went with Baker's -
Final vote - its great for NJ - but the bucks are too steep for the product delivered - its not The Palm - never will be - but if you don't want to spend $8.00 to cross the bridge - its a good meal with a lively crowd and excellent service - you will enjoy -
