Thanks for your detailed advice, kitchen concerns are my number one worry so I think Capital Grille is off the list, maybe if it wasn't a landmark birthday I'd give it a gamble.

I was thinking RPT in Edgewater but have concerns over parking. Husband just purchased a new car so we'd be nervous to park it on those busy roads.

Thanks for the suggested alternatives. I will look into those too.

No its's not the visibility of those restaurants at all - it's Zagat and friends recommendations. I hate chains and mall locations but people raving about them has made me think I don't want to miss out on a good steak just based on location prejudice.

Thanks for your suggestion I will look into Regina's (I had discounted it as I read a really bad review on Zagat recently but good to hear more input)

Best place for steak in Bergen County, NJ?

I want to treat my steak-loving husband for his 40th birthday. Somewhere upscale, just the 2 of us. Will be midweek. Money no object as it's a special occasion. Quality of steak is most important factor but somewhere that has good service and a quiet atmosphere (not a flashy "Real Housewives" type place) also key.

Would appreciate any help with making final choice. It's probably between the following, but also open to any other suggestions:

- River Palm (Fair Lawn or Englewood - which is better?)
- Capital Grille (Paramus)
- Mortons (Hackensack)
- DelMonico (Cedar Grove, outside Bergen I know but I've heard good things)

Thanks so much :)

Good restaurants near 27th & 7th Ave?

Hi all
Im looking for suggestions of a good not too expensive place to grab earylish (6-7pm) dinner near the Fashion Institute (27th & 7th Ave). Dont really know that area very well. Im meeting with a friend I havent seen in many years so somewhere not too loud would be great so we can catch up without having to shout. Cuisine not really an issue but something cosy and authentic would be great.
Thanks so much.

Best place for zhaliang (cruller rice noodle roll)?

Does anyone have reccommendations for where I can get good zhaliang?

So far Ive tried a few in Chinatown when Ive seen it (Mei Lai Wah, Chatham Sq, Golden Bridge) but the dough has been a bit greasy & heavy.

I like them with light and cripsy dough, sesame seeds, scallions and sweet soy sauce.

Thx for any advice!
