Dining room at Restaurant Nicholas, Red Bank, NJNicholas Harary and wife Melissa, who sharpened their restaurant skills at Manhattan eateries such as Jean Georges and Tabla, grace New Jersey with a very fine dining experience: a blend of sophisticated surroundings, professional service, and remarkable food. Dishes arrive in dramatic fashion, under silver domes removed in tandem with a flourish and a reminder of the innovative components: "Madam, your escargots with celery root purée and garlic velouté.” "Sir, your Nova Scotia lobster, foie gras emulsion and black truffle.” The menu is extensive but each offering carefully devised. Consider: bourbon-braised suckling pig paired with Parisienne apples and maple jus, or a veal chop with lemon spätzle. Menus are prix-fixe; choose a three-course menu, the four-course garden (vegetarian) menu, or the six-course chef's tasting menu. A chef’s table located in the kitchen accommodates four people. Small plates are available on the "bar menu." Desserts --- such as a peanut butter soufflé with pretzel ice cream --- are first-rate. From personalized, spot-on wine recommendations to the elegant farewell gift bag containing freshly baked banana bread, dining at Restaurant Nicholas is an unforgettable special occasion.
