they have a slim menu but everything i had was superb. The basic concept is you only pay for a entree, you get as much bread salads and soda for free, any thing you want to add is a modest $5 IIRC, such as desserts or appetizers. Basically if you want a cheaper shorter alternative to the standard dinner in a steakhouse, but want fine dining, you will love entree

I think you missed the idea, unless you want to get extras, you can have a full meal from beginning to end for the cost of just the appetizers

I'm looking for an 2BR apartment in Lakewood for after Pesach. If you can help me, I would very much appreciate it :D

What websites, agencies or lists do you think I should look at?
What's the normal price for a decent apartment now?
How much of a difference in price would it be for an apt in/near the center of Lakewood vs. a little bit farther?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Not interested in Westgate or communities that far.

Which place would be recommended to go out to dinner with my wife. Not looking to pay tons, but some decent food in a nice atmosphere? Want to stay in Lakewood proper, to to limited babysitting time for the kids.
