Review
New Jersey Herald
| "STOCKHOLM --
Nostalgia and memories old and new combine with melt-in-your-mouth
beef to bring a favorite restaurant of yesteryear back to life again
for today's diners to enjoy further. On Feb.
2, Victoria and George Amoratis reopened a landmark dining
establishment at 2700 Route 23 North. The more than 100 year-old
former stagecoach inn known to generations as Jorgensen's has been
reborn as Victoria's Mountaln Inn.
Closed for the last few years, it has been
reopened as more than merely a warm and inviting place to enjoy
American-Continental cuisine.
Here, guests are said to be reliving past memories
amid an elegantly Old-World ambiance while building new memories
that are already incurring return visits to enjoy slow-roasted prime
rib, aged steaks, and varied dishes graciously prepared by talented
graduates of the Culinary Institute of America.
Victoria Amoratis said, "We wanted to create an
upscale restaurant for The Year 2000 that was distinctively
different from the norm. We wanted to have a rustic yet refined
atmosphere that people would find comfortable, but not fragile. We
wanted the place to be slower paced with an ambiance that holds
memories for returning guests and creates new memories for the
future. In our few short months here, we think we're well on the way
to achieving our goals."
It took Amoratis and former owner, Richard
Jorgensen, nearly two years to complete the sale of the restaurant.
"That's because it was a very emotional sale," said Amoratis.
"Richard had spent many, many happy years working in and building
his restaurant and to part with it was difficult for him.
Jorgensen's became a landmark where couples got engaged, had their
weddings, family birthdays, anniversaries, graduation parties, and
more.
"George and I hope to retrieve that following of
the many people who have an attachment here, and we'd. like to help
them build new memories. We want Victoria's to become the place
people look to first to have their most special affair. We don't
think everyone today wants the run-of-the-mill kind of catering hall
with the same kind of fragile chandeliers and flat walls. We think
they're really looking for an old-world-styled restaurant that can
offer them more of the personal touch. That's our goal, and that's
what we've already begun to build here."
While George Amoratis was "literally born into the
restaurant business," his wife's trade as an interior decorator has
helped rekindle the flavor of the former eatery that was once known
to house the area's first telephone.
"This building is in three parts and has a lot of
local history within its walls," said Amaratis, "and we're trying
very hard to keep as much of its originality as possible. We
remodeled the entry to create a center hall and more spacious lobby.
We also put in new carpets and draperies, but we've left the
wood-paneled walls, old brick accents, and many of the wonderful
copper pieces and antiques that Richard collected through the years.
The amoratises are also maintaining the working
fireplaces in the dining room and lounge and are keeping the rooms'
huge coach lights lit. And adding their own stately touch of
elegance, the linen-covered, candle-topped tables welcome their
guests with a large scripted "V." "The ambiance is what people talk
about when they first come back here," said its new owner." |
