| Would like to treat folks to their 10th anniversary, and baptism of their first child.
Will be six of us. We do collect wines, but will probably NOT go BYOB & BYOS route. | | |

| Ryland is our favorite - absolutely wonderful. And they have a lower-priced bistro as well. You should also look at the Petite Chateau in Bernardsville. The wine list is phenomenal. Limestone has gone downhill. I've heard good things about Opah Grille, but never went there. | | | |

| Highly recommend Ixora, ojeffso's suggestion. It is excellent Japanese fusion. Bring a Riesling and order the Salt and Pepper Calamar. Off the charts!

| We go the Limestone Cafe with a friend who is a teacher at a nearby private school - she gets the best service during the breaks and summers when her students are working there!
Food is very good - calamari, lamb chops, crab cakes and mac&cheese (no, really) are our favorites.
Consistently good, but I would recommend you take your own glasses and decanter. (They have run out of decanters a couple of times).

Went sat evening.
Had 9 different wines, 2 ports.
Apered that everyone one had different appritzers, and entrees.
The Wine stewart matched each plate with a super wine.
Will return again. | | | |

| Glad to hear about Limestone. It's a great, homey place that we haven't been to in a while. Will try again soon. | | | |
