POLL RESULTS: Top New Jersey Restaurants of 2010
The results are in!
We had 31 Chowhounders cast their votes for 199 Chowplaces in NJ over a 2+ week polling period. See: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/753090
Detailed results follow below.
Borrowing from the ninth annual running of the L.A. Chowhound poll, the concept here is simple: everyone was asked to list, in ranked order, your top restaurants in New Jersey that you would recommend to Chowhound friends or to Chowhound visitors from out-of-state. Since, at its most essential, this forum is about the food, your ranking should be based 75% on food and 25% on everything else.
Observations:
• 93 restaurants received votes from 31 voters in the “Over $25” category
• 109 restaurants received votes from 30 voters in the “$25 and Under” category
• 3 restaurants appear in both categories: Dish, Red Bank; Under the Moon, Bordentown; Yumi, Sea Bright.
• 10 restaurants received votes from 4 or more voters: Lorena’s, Maplewood [7]; Nicholas, Red Bank [6]; Kanji, Tinton Falls [6]; Bay Ave. Trattoria, Highlands [5]; Belford Bistro, Belford [5]; De Lorenzo’s Tomato Pies, multiple locations [5]; Blue Bottle Café, Hopewell [4]; CulinAriane, Montclair [4]; North of the Border, Red Bank [4]; Nemo, Keyport [4].
Notes
• Data normalization (getting names and towns exactly the same so the spreadsheet could consolidate and count votes) took quite a bit of manual effort. In particular, I exercised some executive judgment to combine various versions of “De Lorenzo’s” to mean “De Lorenzo’s Tomato Pies” specifically. Sorry if that was not your intent.
Well, this is the first time I’ve done this, and hopefully my various copying & pasting and spreadsheet references are correct! Below are the complete tallies, first in the “Over $25” category and then in the “$25 and Under” category.
Best wishes to all for great chow in 2011!

I simply can't understand how Kanji in Tinton Falls can be tied for 4th in the under $25 dollar range. I have never been able to have a dinner there for under $25. Last night I had just an appetizer and entree with hot green tea and the bill BEFORE tax & tip was $28. Maybe for lunch, but certainly not for dinner.

Great Job on the list! Thanks for putting in the time.
It is sad that there aren't more poster especially ones from Bergen. I had invited a few friends over but after reading some posts they didn't bother with registering or posting because of some of the comments made in some posts they read. They felt people can be a little harsh and judgemental about people's like and dislikes.
It is too bad. The posters the better. You get more topics and responses. -
Bergen County, with the largest population in the State, as well as upwards of 300+ restaurants, seems to have only 6 places on this extensive list. It seems, for whatever reason, that this list (and most of NJ Chowhound) is aimed for Newark and south. Not helpful for us Bergenites...

re: tommy
OK, did a hard count. (I was using a little hyperbole)
9 in the first list, and 7 in the second list. That's 16 out of 200 restaurants. Still not a good showing, nor representative of the population of the County and the # of restaurants in the county compared to the entire State...
