JP'S Steakhouse - American Fare with a Musical Flair!














Heeeeere's Johnny!

Longtime CPA - (Certified Public Accountant) John Pettoni has reinvented his popular Rhythms of the Night nightclub with the addition of another interest, great food! He's named it JP's Steakhouse.

The BCA Financial Services gang visited the roomy "club" on Thursday last. JP has added a salad bar to compliment his amply-sized steaks. The salad bar, while a great addition, should not lull you into not scouting out the appetizers. My previous time I had a wonderful hot antipasto. While not vegans, we ordered the recommended "JP's Ribeye Steak" (watch his website for special pricing nights!) with optional mushrooms and onions. It arrived quickly smothered in the aforementioned mushrooms and onions-mmmm. A perfect hot and smooth baked potato and carrot and green bean combo rounded out the plate. The steak was cooked to perfection and not easily finishable-but we did!

Mr. Pettoni shouldn't expect to sell many desserts with this hearty American fare. He's only open from Tuesdays through Saturday but that's plenty of time to go grab the best, good old fashioned "comfort food". Enjoy JP's musical theme atmosphere while your steak is in the kitchen sizzling. By the bye, as you can imagine, there's fish, pasta, burgers and some pretty good cold-tap lagers.

It appears there is a wide range of ages of folks in JP's (and Mr. Pettoni welcomes all as we've heard he's entertained many hundreds on a special evening of "The Big Orange Cone") but it's particularly welcoming on a day-by-day basis for the 35 and up crowd. Musical surroundings that recall a bygone era (what young person has even seen an Accordion up close, or god-forbid--record albums!) will jog the memories of this lively demographic. Here's something at JP's Steakhouse the Pre-GenXers may not have put a dime in: --->

This food blog (on a collection agency blog) has made me hungry. If you live in Somerset, or surrounding Middlesex or drive from Essex (as we did) JP's won't disappoint.
