Zagat Selects Lorena's As One Of America's Top Restaurants 2008
Set "in the heart" of Maplewood, this French BYO is "a real gem, albeit a small one"; "sublime" food from chef Humberto Campos Jr., a "warm welcome" from his partner - the "courteous and efficient" host Lorena Perez - and "impeccable" service "make up for the inconvenience" of the "cramped" but "perfectly appointed oasis."
Restaurant Lorena's Reviewed as one of The 25 Best Restaurants 2009
Take one stove with six burners, and nine tables that seat 32. Add two lovers with a passion for modern French cuisine, and you get the 4-year-old love child of chef Humberto Campos Jr., and manager Lorena Perez Campos. His elegant, seasonal food has made most of his customers regulars. Summer offerings include a crepe encasing jumbo lump crabmeat and field mushrooms; black angus hanger steak au poivre with braised onions and potato puree; and skate wing enlivened with fennel, black olives, capers, and lobster-shellfish broth.Read More
