We had another outstanding dinner at Cafe Panache in Ramsey, NJ. They moved to fully indoor dining this week at 25% capacity. They were being charged about $7,000.00 a month to rent a tent, and it just wasn’t worth it to invest any more money for any sort of heating for another week or two before it became too cold to dine outdoors.
We enjoyed an excellent eggplant tomato timbale with seared shrimp in chive oil; escargot; pumpkin ricotta moon shaped pasta; awesome venison chops, perfectly charred on the outside and medium rare on the inside, with hen of the woods mushrooms in a juniper sauce; panko crusted halibut with wasabi sake coconut milk. We enjoyed the delicious coconut cake with caramel sauce for dessert. It all went great with an excellent Chateauneuf Du Pape.
