"Good food, comfortable drink" is the mission, but at Alice's, it's about much more than that. With a broad deck that overlooks the main stretch of Lake Hopatcong, fresh produce from nearby Halsey Island, and a naturally simple (but rustic ) decor, Alice's is a place that celebrates lake living and good company. Lake Hopatcong resident Alice Szigethy opened Alice's in June 2009 to expand the selection of lake destinations. In this reinvention of a building that has been a series of eateries over several decades, the space features vaulted ceilings, reclaimed-barn-wood walls, comfy booths, and a full bar that extends from the airy interior to the breezy desk. A mahogany seating bar runs the length of the deck so guests can sit and enjoy a clear panorama of the water, and an austere mental awning gives outdoor diners a shady place to enjoy the view, the breeze, and, of course, the food. The fare has evolved into a mix of healthy dishes and comfort food, with a regular selection of innovative specials. A mainstay of the menu is produce picked fresh from just a few hundred yards away on the Szigethys' Halsey Island farm: tomatoes, corn, and other items are literally taken off the boat everyday to be freshly prepared. Altogether, the final product is Alice's: a place where couples, families, and friends can dock ( or drive) and be a few steps away from an exquisite meal in a charming and casual setting, seven days a week. With low lighting, walls upholstered with leather and lined with natural beadboard, weathered mirrors, leather seating, and a marble bar, the Big Fish Lounge has the feel of going below deck in a luxury yacht. A swanky-but-comfortable counterpoint to the casual scene upstairs, the lounge is a place to relax, to tell stories, and to enjoy a drink and good company.

We had always passed by this place with the bright yellow signboards each time we go to Alexandra[...]
Sunway Restaurant on No 3 Road, Richmond531
No sooner had I lamented that Richmond does not have a worthy Taiwanese Beef Noodle restaurant, we found one right at the Empire Square. Winnie was the one who alerted us to the place. [Thanks Winnie!]

Torarenbo Japanese Restaurant on Park Road, Richmond531
Hmmm … come to think of it, I hardly ever go to a Japanese restaurants. I mean, I do but it’s just that its not on my list of to-try restaurants. Most of the time I ever go to one is for Nanzaro and Arkensen. Both of them love sushi.[...]
