Certainly a hidden gem! We spent an incredible Christmas Eve dinner at Chez Catherine. The food was spectacular and the maître made great suggestions. The risotto was superb. We are definitely coming back soon!

The carbonara is my favorite pasta on the menu it did not disappoint. Had a chicken special which was also good. Regrettably it was really hot upstairs, and they don’t seem to be able to do anything about that. And I mean 79 degrees if the thermostat is to be believed. On a 20 degree night. Seems it is all one zone heat/AC.

As a long time fan of White Castle, the idea of a special Valentine’s Day sit down dinner with menus and table service is really fun. Such a break from other pretentious restaurants that overcharge on Valentine’s Day with limited menus. The Green Brook staff is to be commended. Will return each year! Thank you.
