Everything I have ever had at this restaurant has been amazing. Try the Calimari or the fried gnocchi for a great appetizer! Leave a Comment

 Cafe Eclectic by kazander
I included their website but the pictures on it really don't do it justice.
They have great food, as well as great coffee. My favorite is the Chicken and Brie wrap with pistachios and cranberries. I always get the mocha infusion, it's the one that has the white chocolate/raspberry flavor .
11/05 I just recently returned to Cafe Eclectic, and I am sad to say that the food has gone downhill. My wrap was not nearly as tasty as it used to be, and they replaced the side salad with a macaroni salad. Yick. I missed the leafy greens. The cofee was still excellent, so you might just want to pop in for a drink instead of lunch. Next time I visit Montclair, I want to check out the Sangria resturant just a little bit down the block. I'll post a tip after I check it out! Leave a Comment

 Castle Tavern by kazander
UPDATE!!! 7/2007
The Castle tavern has fallen under new ownership and my, my what an improvement! The food is now excellent! Yippie! And they have redone the deck and docks to accommodate more people with much nicer seating and umbrellas.
On this most recent visit, Lou got the steamers and the ribs (which he said were amongst the best ribs he has ever had). I got the "hidden cheeseburger" which was ridiculously messy, but quite delish.

 tasty drinks by kazander
For drinks, Katey and I both had a "Blue Moon". Good, but strong. A sipping drink for sure. I forget what Lou ordered but apparently it was wonderful, I didn't try it because it had vodka in it. (long story) and Bobby had a Harp on tap.
For an appitizer, we order the Brie and shrimp dish. Everyone loved it. For dinner, I order the "petite filet" , Filet Mignon, with lovely whipped potatoes and glazed carrots. It was perfect.
Lou and Katey both ordered the Porcini mushroom ravioli which I had a taste of...also delicious. And Bobby ordered a burger, which I assume was tasty but I did not try. :) Leave a Comment Theme: AmericanPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 909 Parsippany Blvd, Parsippany , NJPhone: 973-402-8080Directions: In the Embassy Suites Hotel just off Rt 46 west

 Good Food Cafe by kazander
It is a very cute country restaurant with light wood interior and decorated for the holiday with lots of autumnal colors and leaves.
The menu is the main attraction, every kind on pancake you can imagine is served here. They are HUGE! But not to worry, you can order just one, or you can mix and match to try different flavors. Besides pancakes, they also serve "build your own" omelets, not to mention lots of combos, and don't forget to check the special board! Pumpkin Pecan pancakes were the special when we were there, unfortunately we didn't notice this until AFTER we had orderd. Oh well. Next time.
On your way out you may want to pick up a freshly baked loaf of bread, or a pie. I picked up an apple/blackberry pie, delicious!!!
UPDATE
sadly the good food cafe is no more:( it's now a motorcycle shop. I'll keep the tip for rememberance.
Fresh squeezed orange juice and banana chocolate chip pancakes.
I've learned with some follow up dining experiences that the banana waffles, pumpkin-raisin pancakes and apple-cranberry pancakes were all wonderful as well. I really don't think anything is less than delicious here.

 my "birthday" hat by kazander
If it's your birthday and someone spills the beans to the staff, look out! The servers all come out of nowhere singing loudly, while crowning you with a large, straw sombrero and taking a polaroid picture of you. It's part fun, part huge embarrassment!

 View from the Restaurant by kazander
Most of the menu is Seafood; Lobster, clams, fresh fish, ect... There is a small section for "landlubbers". If your not into fish, you better like steak, because your only other choice is lots of drinks from the bar...
Which are really quite tasty, besides the beer on tap they also have some "fancy" drinks like the Chocolate Covered Banana Daquiri which comes with a free pint glass Leave a Comment Theme: SeafoodPrice: US$31-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 2 Bay Avenue Highlands/Sandy Hook, New JerseyPhone: 732-872-1247Directions: Look on official webpage for directions from your area.Website: http://www.bahrs.com/jaycos2/

 Davy's by kazander
They serve Hot dogs with all kinds of fixin's as well as other "fast food" munchies. Our favorite is the Ice cream!
Davy's is one of the places where they serve Welsh Farms Ice Cream. My favorite! The best has got to be the Peanut butter ripple, AKA chocalate peanut butter. MMMMM another favorite is the soft serve. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveDirections: Off of Rt. 80, exit 30
