Mexicali Rose- - - -
11/03/2006
I'm a fan of Mexican food and when I
first dined here years ago I was thrilled and re visit about 3X's a month.
BUT lately everytime I go I have been very disappointed.My last experience
was my final experience at Mexicali Rose. The smell was aweful in the
back dinning area (like mold). They were practically empty on the Friday
night I went yet service was still very slow and poor (very unusual). The
salsa for the chips does not taste as if it were homemade prepared anymore.
Taco shells I recieved were on the stale side and my lettuce was
brown(yuck)! That's an aweful lot of complaints for a place that I used to
love! Well I found Tinga Taqueria down the road in upper Montclair so I've
been going there since!
Thank You for your list of Dining the area! I'll be eating around!!!

Roots Steakhouse401 Springfield Ave. Summit NJ (908)273-0027. Central Jersey has been waiting patiently for a New York-style steakhouse to take root for years, and the Harvard Restaurant Group's latest fine-dining outpost has the menu, atmosphere and potential to fill the aching void. Bustling practically from day one, Roots Steakhouse imbues this upscale part of Jersey with class and elegance. Brilliant steaks are, of course, the headliner here, and both the N.Y. Strip and 8-ounce filet mignon arrived seconds from perfection. But a creative respect for seafood, especially fresh tuna and smooth lobster bisque, shows Roots has an eye on a holistic dining palate. One of our favorite litmus tests for a fine steak house is the attention and effort placed in producing a la carte side dishes, and garlic potatoes puree (a special on this particular day) and steamed broccoli both arrived fresh and expertly prepared, albeit in small portions. Like any eatery taking aim at the top-shelf diner, a robust wine list with daily specials (and Manhattan prices) has been carefully assembled. Roots showed a few growing pains with some minor service gaffes at its outset, but like its aged sirloin, time can only push it toward that top shelf. -- Greg Hazley (Photo: Greg Hazley)

Time to Move >Time To Move
As your life circumstance changes, your housing sometimes must accommodate that change. When your children leave for college or move out on their own, it may be time to re-evaluate your housing arrangements. It is useful to consult with a real estate agent who can help you decide whether it is time to move.
When it is time to sell your home or to purchase a new one, the first step is to contact a professional real estate agent to discuss your situation. What is your home worth? Would it be better to sell it now or to keep the house and rent it out? What cost effective cosmetic improvements should you make before marketing the property? If you are moving to a new city, how can you contact a real estate agent to introduce you to the community and help you find the perfect new home in a neighborhood that meets your needs? Real estate agents are professionals whose experience and expertise can make your transition as smooth as possible.
