This was just posed online.

"The new Inness Hotel restaurant menu (on line) took me quite a while to decipher. Maybe I'm very under-educated, but I had to look up miche, vadouvan aioli, nigella, buratta. That's just the "starters." One of the salads is made of gem. Hum. Under "Pasta" I looked up reginette, bottarga, mezze maniche, merguez ragu. I recognized the word "mint." Under "Mains" there is Kilcoyne burger. Turns out Kilcoyne is not a kind of meat but the name of a farm (I think). How about some coulotte? It's only $46. Or chicken with sauce tarator? A pizza has a tartufuta topping. Google tells me that there's no such thing, but suggests tartufata instead, which also needed looking up. It was such a relief to find in the dessert section: "dark chocolate cake" for $11. Not to mention panna cotta with fennel pollen. Busy bees!"

Jerry, I suggest sending your comments to the owner, they are probably wondering why business is down!

If I were you Jerry, I would have asked for a ham and cheese sandwich just in case

Something tells me that the server will not be inquiring, "You want fries with that?".

Actually someone replied that she and her husband ate there, and it was delicious.

Do you mean "Pommes de terre tranchées frites dans de l'extrait de canola"?

I just got back from a week in Paris (France). We ate in a lot of restaurants. They all had French Fries on the menu, spelled exactly that way.

Maybe we have to learn to eat in fancier restaurants?

I think I could find something more tasty in some southern road side dive for one tenth the price.

I always figured that dermatologists used really long Latin terms to describe conditions so that they could look smarter and charge more. I guess the same thing goes for restaurants..... Maybe they need to be like many Chinese and Thai restaurants and have photos of the dishes!

Jerry, just go to Pete's in Rhinebeck, easy to read the menu and things are good, Bob.

Yes, I know. My son goes there all the time. Is that the place that's owned by Paul Rudd and another actor?
