During my brief stay in Ramsey, New Jersey, I came across Brady's At the Station at the train tracks. The Restaurant was very inviting so I decided to go in. The hostess greeted me with a big smile but I opted for the bar as I was unsure whether to eat or not. Bob the bartender greeted me in a smooth professional manner, asked if I was eating, and quickly set up my drink.\r

I decided to have an appetizer for the late afternoon out on the patio. I placed our order indoors with Bob and proceeded outdoors. While enjoying the local atmosphere I noticed a group of individuals enjoying a few beers together. I quickly found out that it was John Brady, the owner, treating a few friends to a drink. He was always getting up and opening doors for his patrons and talking and mingling with everyone making sure everything was okay.\r

I ordered the mussels in marinara sauce with a glass of wine. I also ordered garlic toast. Which was not on the menu, but the kitchen staff promptly made. Amy, my waitress and a 5 year member, was gracious and exuberant in her duties. She was very attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of. I had a brief conversation with John Brady and he stated that great customer service and consistently good food are the main strengths of his establishment. Imagine my surprise when I saw him paying for his own table with his American Express card. You don't see that very often if at all!\r
