Highland Place

One from Column A and one from Column B
We are all in search of great places to eat on a Saturday night that's enjoyable for the adults and fun for the kids. A friend of mine recently found such a place in the Maplewood Village and invited me to come check it out with her. So we brought both sets of our twin girls and our husbands to try it out.
The food is delicious. There's a big selection of appetizers including crab cakes, Kobe sliders, nachos and spinach artichoke dip. And you can choose from a variety of salads like beet or caesar.
The grill entrees include steaks, pork chops, fish, seafood, chicken and pasta. They have burgers (including a veggie burger) and you can pick the toppings. I had the chicken paillard with a red potato goat cheese napoleon. My friends each had the salmon with roasted potatoes, butternut squash and mustard thyme sauce.
The kid's menu has the typical chicken fingers, talapia fingers, grilled cheese, burgers and penne, but here's the part we and the kids both loved -- the kids choose a side order from Column A which is carrots, applesauce or broccoli and one from Column B which has mac & cheese or french fries. They're happy to be in charge of their orders and we're happy because at least one choice is healthy.
