Mandeville's Flair a Big Hit in New Jersey

Mandeville's Debuts with Flair


By Allison Skeete

Orange, NJ: – Wondering what to do this weekend... want to try something new… Mandeville Restaurant may be just what you need; Mandeville is a contemporary, Caribbean-style eatery with a relaxed, warm and sophisticated atmosphere.

Having opened this past Summer in Orange, New Jersey; Mandeville’s quickly built a loyal following of patrons who come out to hear the likes of such noted musicians as Bradford Hayes and Tony Smith for Thursday Night Jazz or to enjoy Sunday Brunch. Other featured artists who’ve performed on Jazz Night include saxophonist Greg Tardy who’s worked with Roberta Flack at her music school; he also performs with Joel Weiskopf in a Quartet that’s making a last 2009 appearance on December 17 at Mandeville.

Planning to celebrate… it's just the place; intimate and with a nice flair. Renowned Jamaican National Derek Williams, one of the Dance Theatre of Harlem’s founding members (seen at left)… enjoyed the venue at such an event. Williams, who is currently running the Dance Program at Germany’s Janusphere Dance Company was pleased to note that the food and ambience were a wonderful compliment to the service and evening he enjoyed there. Williams is planning to return to the U.S. once his commitment in Germany concludes.

Mandeville features a menu that showcases at least one dish in honor of the countries of the Caribbean Diaspora. Try the Jerk, Spanishtown Salmon, Maracas Bay Chicken, or Garlic Pork or the Codfish fritters and Demerara Shrimp... Sunday Brunch is also another reason to come enjoy Mandeville and they cater too.

Getting there is easy, don't want to drive, no problem… take NJ Transit to the Orange Station and its just steps from the stations' parking lot... or take 280 W to exit 11B, ample street parking is available as well as at the train station’s parking lot.
