Yes I returned!  Stop shaking your head.  I had a very good reason.  

After speaking to a couple of people about my visit on Sunday, March 21st, they decided that they wanted to go and one by the name of Faye made reservations for 3, which included me.  My nephew James and his wife were looking to go someplace to celebrate their 3rd wedding anniversary and decided to go but at a different time before I knew that I would be going.  Long story short Faye, William, James, Danielle and I ended up at Ruth Chris at the same time but at different tables right behind one another.  Picture that.  James and Danielle drove up from Essex County and Faye and William  drove in from Long Island.  I from Manhattan.

Let's start with Faye & William's dish, the T-bone steak.  Faye's was medium well and William and mines were well done.  After taking the first bite I heard Faye sighing and mumbling then I hear "oh this is so good".  Before taking is first bite, William orders steak sauce.  Then he takes a bite before the sauce arrives and says that "he doesn't need it" while shaking his head almost repeating what Faye just said.  I already knew, but the experience happened again after my first bite.  So so good and all of our steaks was cooked to perfection.  William wanted to know if we could get the recipe!  My steak was amazing.

Danielle's petite fillet & shrimp, well let's just say conversation cease for a pause.  This 4 oz. medallion fillet came with 6 large shrimps.  The shrimps were succulent and full of flavor as was the fillet.  James took his time savoring the flavors of his roasted double stuffed chicken breast with cheese, garlic, and lemon butter.   

Faye's house salad was made with iceberg lettuce, baby arugula and grape tomatoes was delicious as was Danielle's caesar salad with shaved parmesan, romano cheese, romaine hearts and creamy caesar dressing.  Fresh. Crispy.  Filling. 

The cream spinach was so good, that I didn't want to take it all so being the person that I am, I left some for William.  Gosh darn.  The garlic mashed potatoes was missing the zing that I experienced previously but still good.

Our waiter Lonny was so funny and was very good at making us laugh throughout the meal.  I spoke to Michael the Manager again just to let him know that I was back and brought others with me.  Which speaks volumes of how I enjoyed myself previously.  Owen was our server and he was quite efficient.  Spyder who is the Assistant General Manager came over and introduce himself and I must say the professionalism, courtesy and general overall demeanor at Ruth's Chris is huge.  From the entrance until you exit.  

Presentation means a lot.  Good service are reflections of tradition, culture and respect for the customers.  They know their menu inside and out.  

I'll leave you with these words.  Go and enjoy the food.  Go and enjoy the waitstaff.  Go and enjoy the ambience.  Just go.

Today was an absolutely beautiful day, temperatures in the high 50's so two of my daughters, Stacey and Brandy and I went to Ruth's Chris Steak House in Weehawken New Jersey with reservations in hand.  

After being seated we met our most competent and proactive waiter, Lucus.  Lucus approach was gentlemanly with a large sense of humor and very knowledgeable about the menu, flavors and portions.  Very important.

Now for the food!!  Can you sing one of your highest notes?  That's what I thought of when I had my first taste of my ribeye. The steak is broil and delivered on a hot sizzling 500 degree plate.  So you know that it wasn't just sitting under a warmer.  Tender, full of flavor, so you take your time and chew every delicious bite.  It is not to be rushed but enjoyed.  It was cooked exactly as Brandy and I ask. Then after I calmed down, I tasted the creamy, smooth, full of flavor, garlic mash potatoes.  Oh my.  Then came the lobster (fresh) mac and cheese.  Cooked to perfection.  The lobster added a delightful touch and taste.  I tried a piece of Stacey's stuff chicken breast with cheese was an unexpected surprise.  Juicy, tender, not dry, it was good.  

Michael the manager came over to see how we were enjoying the food was very pleasant and professional with a warm smile.  

This was a very enjoyable dining experience to be repeated many times over.  See if you can get seat by the window a view of the water.  If not, still go and have a very great time with wonderful customer service from beginning to end.

When you go, say hi to Lucus and Michael for me.  Or if you see me, come on over and say hi.

Avena Downtown - Ahh Italian in Greenwich Village

 Avena Downtown

Hours:

Margherita Pizza - $23.95

Take a look at this pizza box!!









Today's  temperature was 57 degree and everyone was out and about.  So I decided that I should be out and about as well and went right on down to the village for a Margherita pizza.  The lighting, the center table decorated with several  beautiful orchids and the tables are wonderfully spaced gives Avena Downtown a pleasant ambience.  

The pizza and all of its ingredients made the mozzarella that is sliced and placed on top, gave it a different and a personal touch.  Along with the freshness you can picture the person making the mozzarella which is called pasta filata, stretching and kneading it until smooth, and then form it into round balls after you take your first bite.

What I have noticed in eating Margherita pizza's and talking to the chef or the waiter, they all say that they use top quality tomatoes for the sauce.  This sauce had a sweet vibrant taste along with the fresh basil and garlic is a sophisticated version of the regular cheese pizza.  

The staff was so pleasant even though the Margherita pizza was not on the menu, the chef made it for me.  Can't beat that.  I felt so special.  

Avena offers a Terrzza Outdoor Cafe.

Will I be back?  Of course.
