planning a dinner for my birthday and would like to do it in bergen county. seems that oceanos and varka get good reviews (though pricey). any other possibilities that are cheaper and if not, which is preferable?

Loved Sutters- went to the one in the Village in the 60's and 70's till it closed down. I remember the crossaints, mocha layer cake with apricot in between, nut cake with raspberry jam - I'll never forget the smell as soon as you walked in! There are still some great bakeries (ie Balthazar in Englewood) but the good ones are usual small with less selection - nothing compares to Sutters!
