Supper Club Anyone?

Ahhh...to be back at work! The morning and evening commute down the lovely 91, the non-stop emails, being on the computer so much each day that honestly...just haven't been in the blogging mood lately. Well there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel and I am inspired-by food of course!

So I've been doing the whole Weight Watchers thing which means the man and I haven't been going out to dinner as often as we used to but seeing as how it was Mother's Day weekend, I decided to take advantage of the holiday and take a weekend OFF! That and the whole diet (well they claim it's not a diet but who are they kidding?) thing is actually working, so I decided I could treat myself. Anyway, we found ourselves at Manhattan Supper Club in Orange on Saturday night. I have to say I would go back-seriously....like every weekend if I could.

Opened by the same people who brought us Sutra, the decor is equally impressive PLUS you don't have to deal with the long line of people trying to get in. I think the interior was very Viceroy-esque, a little Rococo meets modern if you will. White walls with framed mirrors, fabulous chandeliers and plushly covered booths. Dimly-but not too dimly lit and perfect background music. All lent an equally helping hand to the already relaxing environment.

Although they were out of the pork chop I was REALLY looking forward to, my filet was perfect and came with I think about 8 choices of sauces-mmmm rich carmelized onions, sweet blueberry-merlot reduction, creamy blue cheese melt-all RIDICULOUS! We finished with the molten chocolate cake which is probably the only thing that has come even remotely close to the chocolate soufflee at 555, but don't get me started. Needless to say we had a great time. They also sell little cabinets where you can store your wine. I thought it was a nice kitschy little touch.

So-next time you're in downtown orange, check it out! Site and menu can be found here. We recently started doing a little supper club type deal with some friends and I'm thinking this will definitely be one of my picks...you should make it yours too!!!
