    Our group of five had an excellent experience at FiNNBAR--also known as one of Frenchtown's…read moretrendiest new spots. It's a must-try if you're visiting the area. The food/drinks, ambiance, and service are all top-notch! We were seated at the back of the restaurant in a private room, which elevated our entire experience. Our server, Jeff, provided exceptional service and made us feel right at home throughout our meal. He answered our flurry of menu-related questions and explained each dish with thoughtful care. We were excited to hear that the restaurant changes its menu daily. FiNNBAR offers an eclectic selection of international wines. We chose a bottle of white wine from Austria, which was excellent. Our group split a few appetizers: focaccia with beet spread, fennel salad, and a crunchy vegetable salad, all of which went quickly! Onto the entrees: I ordered a pork ragu with fried polenta and asparagus. Absolutely phenomenal. Cooked to perfection. Others in our party ordered the homemade casarecce with mushrooms, which also got rave reviews. Some of the best pasta they've ever eaten! All of the portions we received were generous and filling. Props to the entire FiNNBAR staff for their efforts in giving us a great Memorial Day weekend meal. We will certainly be back!

    This was an interesting experience. My OG chums and I stopped by here impulsively last night for an…read moreearly dinner. All of us grew up in this area (I was making a humble cameo return) and were thus enormously pleased that the meh weather prevented a lot of the tourists from jamming up the sidewalks on a Saturday afternoon. That extended to the restaurant; it looked like the bar area to the right of the entrance was hopping a bit, but the dining sections to the left were empty or close to it. After jokingly mentioning that we were natives of the Kingdom of Hunterdon, the hostess good-naturedly seated us at the "locals booth," in the corner of the backroom. Only the best for this crew. Given how bougie this daily menu is, I was pretty impressed at the competitive price points; if I'm uncertain what 40% of the ingredients in my dish are, I'm expecting to pay probably twice what I actually did. In true hipster fashion, the menu had a stamp at the top (akin to a ye olde library card) with the day's date, if you needed explicit confirmation that this menu changes every day. It's a limited menu for sure, but that made it easier to narrow down the choices. Very The Bear, if you've recently watched that (disclaimer - it takes a bit of a step back in Season 3). I ordered a Red Hook ($14), which was basically a Manhattan. Pretty tasty - definitely a boozier cocktail but I thought the vermouth they used, coupled with the cherry, gave it kind of a subtle cola vibe. I personally have to be in a very specific mood for this kind of drink but I'd theoretically get it again. We split the fried squash with mint raita, which was the high point for me. I thought it was delicious, and the flavor profile was pretty much perfect. The mint gave it a nice subtle nip without being overwhelming, and the squash was lightly fried and not remotely heavy. A delight. We ended up almost strategically ordering different entrees and thus ended up testing out 75% of that section of the menu. My heart was with the meatballs but I figured you could get meatballs pretty much anywhere, and went with a very edgy pasta dish, Torchio Pasta alla Palina. It was good but in hindsight I should have gone with my heart - it was just not my jam, palate-wise. I'm primarily a texture-based eater so the crunchier aspects were not the selling points I'm sure they are for others. And I'm sure this is a very specific, intentional decision based on the type of pasta dish, but it seemed a touch dry, like it needed some kind of sauce to moisten the pasta overall. It WAS a little better in that regard when I stirred in the wetter bottom more. A unique taste for sure, and I do want to make it clear this was a decent dish but just a better fit for someone else. The service was interesting. We ended up getting assigned the general manager as our primary waiter (one or two others made quick cameo appearances as well). When the GM initially came to our table, he seemed almost startled, like he'd recognized one of us but didn't want to bring that up, or wasn't sure where he knew the person. All of us picked up on it. And that skittery demeanor pervaded the meal; it was almost like having a cat for a waiter, who looked like they might bolt out the room at the first sign of a bird in the window. I really don't know how else to describe it, but he was PERFECTLY nice to us and turnaround times and communication were very solid. Maybe something else was going on behind the scenes or we should have picked up on something, but it certainly made the meal more memorable. Overall, this was very pleasant. Most places in Frenchtown and the surrounding river towns are either very obviously catering to the out-of-towners or are going hardcore local but this is a rare one that I think does navigate the two worlds pretty deftly.

    Twice we have been to this liquor store and been treated very rudely. Not sure why - the first time…read morewe simply asked if they had a certain product in stock, and the second time I had not brought my ID (also I'm 36 and haven't been carded in years). Both times the cashier was rude and rolled his eyes at us. I get not being able to sell to us if I don't have my ID, but it's not necessary to be rude about it. I'm not sure if he's just generally rude or maybe homophobic? Anyway, not ever shopping here again.

    When I first moved in nearly 14 years ago, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of variety for…read moresuch a small store. The staff at the time was very friendly. The only negative I observed back during that time was the owner was kind of of know it all. Others Have said to me that they like him, so maybe it's just me. For the most part, Holland Liquors was a good place to go with nice staff up to two years ago. (I should also add that there have been times I've purchased items that were expired). My last visit was this year. I won't be back. There is a new cashier that always seems to stare down customers. He is not friendly. I asked this cashier if everything was ok and he immediately did a 180. I appreciate that he changed his attitude, but something is off. The owner sat frozen at his computer with his back turned toward me. Exactly what I'd expect from him. I'm sure this establishment will stay in business and prosper and I wish them continued success. It's just not my vibe.
