Salt - a gastropub - Byram NJ
We went there today after a visit to the Sterling Zinc Mine Museum (great place!!). Wow - loved it! They have a great beer selection (both American craft beers and imports) and the food was excellent. We had the candied bacon - sounds gross but it's really yummy - and the roasted asparagus - terrific - to start. We all ended up with burgers which have interesting condiments, the Guiness onions were the best. Too bad we live an hour away, or we would be regulars!

Forgot to add Bistro En, French & Asian fusion, really outstanding, very hip and very elegant, expensive. Next door, same owners, is Lounge Zen, with live music on weekends. From the outside it looks odd and a bit frumpy, but go inside and it's like crossing the Hudson.
In Teaneck on DeGraw just off Queen Ann (near Glenpointe).

There's also an excellent Indian place we just ate at, I believe it's called Tandoor Chef, but I'm not positive. As good, but cheaper, than Maharani (below)
Indian in Fort Lee, Maharani http://www.maharani.ws/ -- unusual in that it has both south indian and north indian food. Everyone likes this place.
Middle Eastern (Egyptian) Club Alladin

This place has belly dancing and is a real night club -- a big presence on the Egyptian music circuit (bet you didn't even know there was such a thing!). Excellent food, too.
