Murphy’s in Rumson has just switched over effective today. 3.5%. Its coming, folks. Give it a year and every restaurant will have adopted this.

Not only restaurants. In Alfonso’s they have the same sign and fee.

Just saw this article. I wasn’t a fan but my in-laws really liked temple:

Yes, Temple is coming back, but under new ownership. Imho, that was always the problem there.
Wasn’t previous ownership a team that own a very successful spot in manalapan who’s name escapes me at moment? Odd they couldn’t get a good spot together here. A higher end Chinese spot is a void locally. A liquor license would help as wel
You’re thinking of the more successful side of the family who run Peking Pavillion. This guy was a real loser from the start.

Good luck to chef. Never root against any spot, but the food being terrible was one of my many issues with the spot.

I don’t recall the food being “bad” as so much as the price(s) for the ordinary Chinese food was the problem for me.

My one experience was capital B BAD. Enough that I’d never go back. Signal worst experience I’ve had in the area by far
Maybe others had different experiences to be fair

I used to eat at Temple about once a month. The food was always good but overpriced.
Then, one time, the food was horrible. I was curious and found out that the regular chef was out that day and the owner was cooking.
Time will tell at the new Temple.

I’m gonna guess that was my deal. I would have been thrilled for average but overpriced. But sounds like I ran into spot you described above.

Same. But my son was there over the weekend and said it was still pretty poor.

I’ll wait till I hear from you or a couple others who have tried it before I venture back. Between Little Szechuan and House of Chong I’m pretty happy with my Chinese situation.
