Went to Mocha Bleu again last night. Made a reservation online easily - the place was almost empty. Some thoughts:
1) It was so cold again. Fortunately, others complained and they turned off the AC at some point. Apparently they also complained that it was too loud, and the music was turned off - fine with me!
2) We went in remembering the 20% mandatory tip, so the final price was more in line with what we were expecting. My wife and I had different prices in our menus. lolz

Food:
Poutine Fries were GREAT! The gravy and cheese reminded me a lot of french onion soup and having fries in it instead of soggy bread was YUM.
Mac n Cheese - good
Penne ala Vodka - classic and very good (ask for more parmesan when the first batch runs out )
Vanilla Bean Mocha Blend - gross. I mean just gross. Perhaps I don't know what this should taste like, but we were hoping for a vanilla frappuccino type of drink like you might get at Starbucks. This tasted like bitter milk. We asked them to put in more vanilla, and I think they remade the drink. It still had no flavor. $8 ugh.
Avoided desserts, despite how pretty they look.

We're going to keep going back - apps and pastas are good, will stick to milkshakes and smoothies. And will bring a winter coat next time or have the courage to ask them to lower the air.

I've heard Rabica has stepped up recently. I don't really go out for dairy in Teaneck except for causal at Sammy's but I would much sooner try Rabica than MB.

MB owner can be nasty at times. Service is hit or miss

My favorite place in Teaneck, but not as upscale as Nobos. Well priced menu and great service. Food is A+

Just updated the wiki, replaced Gotham Burger with Humble Toast. Currently one of my favorite places.

I agree that Estihana isn't at the top of the Teaneck food chain.

I'd pick etc, Nobo, humble toast, chickies, etc. before Estihana.

heard great reviews about humble toast . Chickies doesn't belong on this list as it is basically a takeout.
Estihana has a pretty versatile menu. Great Sushi, Wok or steaks.

Gotta be at least a year, I think. One of my favorite burger places of all time. I like the Cali - though I usually ask them to take out most of the hot peppers.
