Some of the terms elude me as well. When in doubt, I order the number 7, and make sure it's not snails I'm ordering.
This restaurant seems fine to me. I just read the menu and some of the descriptions are rather intriguing even though I tend to be basic in my tastes. The paella dish stands out.
Eating out in my family is interesting as my wife's favorite is Italian, my younger son and I often prefer Chinese, and my older son lobbies for a steakhouse. My daughter, who's 9, is good with anything. We usually end up at the local bar/restaurant that has a pretty large menu, and they make outstanding wings. Plus, we always see friends and their families there too.
But, I digress.

Here you go, Miggie -- they made this for you!! Grassfed Beef Ribeye "Mignon" (Celery Root and Cabrales Puree, Haricot Vert, Rioja Reduction) Sheesh, let's see... Cabrales seems like a type of cheese... Haricot Vert are string beans (why they used a French term here, I have no clue)... and rioja is a Spanish wine... Well I guess I know what I'm gonna have. Who else is going to have me?

There's nothing like "real" Asian food -- up there with Italian! When I worked in Manhattan we'd sometimes go for Chinese and even better, Vietnamese -- I fell in love with Vietnamese food and sadly there aren't any anywhere near me.*  Hey DMC - Ever try Pho 99 in South Plainfield? *OMG, I just looked and found a Vietnamese/Thai restaurant about 30 minutes away!!  I never had real Thai food, but love the supermarket stuff -- I need to try that place!! 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

A very good place opened up near where I used to work, but I haven't been there after I changed jobs years ago. I used to get pretty good Vietnamese takeout at a "hole in the wall" place. But it's a little out of the way, and my kids, who ultimately outvote me, prefer basic Chinese - sesame chicken, pot stickers, fried rice and beef with broccoli.

There's a Chinese place on Chapman Avenue in the city of Orange (in California) called "Hong Kong Express" that serves the best Chinese food I've ever had. I think I've visted there six times the past 2 times I've been to California, and I've never been disappointed. I always get the spicy shredded pork, and chow mein. They throw it all in a BIG styrofoam container, and it's incredibly inexpensive. They fill half the container with the entrée(s), and the rest of it with the chow mein or fried rice (whatever you prefer...I happen to like noodles better.) If anyone finds themselves in Orange County anytime soon, take a trip down Chapman Avenue and try this place out. It's right across the street from the Crystal Cathedral. Ok...back on topic...

No, but their sister restaurant, The Hong Kong Gardens on Chauncy Street may.
Ahhh, the finest jernt in Greenpernt. We used to ask the waiter to bring us bread.... he'd say "We have no bread", but we'd argue we needed it to push the chow mein onto our forks.... He'd bring it! I think I know that place Thay had some great entertainment there Isham Jones, Ted Fiorito, Little Jack Little, Basil Fomeen, Johnny Messner and his toy piano

Well at least I understand the menu at Harold's Yeah, but you didn't understand the size of the items on the menu! Ok, then, what are these from Harold's Menu? : Kasha VarnishkesRugelachFried Kreplach  Don Cardi I don't know about varnishkes, but rugelach is a rich, filled pastry, my favorite of which is blueberry. Kreplachs, I'm pretty sure, are meat filled dumplings, similar to those found in wonton soup
