    Their first cooking with Chef Walters experience and by all metrics it was a resounding success. Walters is an engaging personality, who is clearly enthusiastic about his craft and restaurant. The 4 course meal he prepared was exceptional, from the dressed oysters to the crepe suzette..we chose to pair each course with wine and cocktails, perfectly matched. The bronzino was a masterpiece, perhaps the best preparation I've ever experienced. The pasta, with a bolonese and bechmel sauce left us clamoring for more. We've dined at 87 perhaps a dozen times, and have never been disappointed, even on "holidays " when many restaurants falter. If you haven't dined here yet, you are missing perhaps the best restaurant in North Jersey. They more than hold their own against the venues we've experienced in NY.
