My fiancée is often frustrated by my lack of adventure when it comes to trying new restaurants in New Jersey, especially BYOBs. My theory (and justification) is that when we find one that we love, we should stick with it. And we have a handful of places that are in our regular rotation, but getting me to try a new restaurant is often a chore. After stomping my feet for a bit, I obliged and agreed that we needed to try something new. We chose Basilico in Millburn.
We arrived a few minutes late (I am about to give in on buying a GPS, as well) and were seated promptly. I noticed that there was a bar area – I had never seen one in a BYOB before. Given a wobbly and slanted table along the wall, we were a bit cramped, but I thought it would be manageable. Our location in the restaurant was indeed manageable, but dinner was another story...

Although I am still not sure if it is the playing card themed table cloths, the surfboards and Christmas lights hanging from the ceiling or the delectably juicy quesadillas that come out of the kitchen screaming to be devoured as quickly as possible, but I feel right at home whenever I make it to Carlos O’Connor’s in Red Bank.
