The menu has shriunk from the list on previous posts, but we liked everything we got: (Appetizers) Polenta-stuffed portobella mushroom Baked brie Veal Potstickers House salad - small, but with good greens and little cubes of pumpkin (or sweet potato?) (Main) Norwegian salmon w/ Indian spices served with dahl and cucumber pickle Scallops in a chipotle cream, fettucine w/ mushrooms in a hazelnut sauce Chicken and apple sausages on haluski (Yum!). We will all go back. However, as posted earlier, while the smoke smell was not very apparent in the restaurant, it was all over our clothes when we left (meaning dry-cleaning for the suited one among us). Hope they can move to nicers quarters someday. There weren't too many people, so I'd like some people to go, so it will be there when we are ready to return in a month or so. Here's the info: Maxine at Stacy J's 421 West Eighth Avenue West Homestead, PA 15120 412.464.9669 (fax) 412.464.1860 Christine (& Michael & Lynne & Jeff & Mary & Jerry)
