“The silk city pop up event is the most adorable event with beautiful decorations and fun drinks in the cutest cups. You also get to see the barrels because they are in view so that's interesting as well. The drinks were out of this world. Totally recommend“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“Been here 2xs, food, service and atmosphere are excellent. Seasonal cocktails. A stranger , i will call Joy, bought us a drink. Thank you!“

“Not even exaggerating: this was one of my favorite dining experiences to date! Had a surprise birthday party for a friend in one of the private back rooms, and the staff was so accomodating, helpful, and friendly. Our waiter, Chris, was especially awesome: he was super sociable and patient with any questions we had about the food, the hotpot process, and splitting the check. The energy of this place was so warm and inviting- anyone looking to host a night out with friends: rest assured, you will have a great time and memorable experience here. I haven't even started talking about the food.

The wagyu beef is absolutely worth the cost. There are more affordable items on the menu and they are also yummy but guess what? Everything felt priced so accordingly that it is 100% worth spending that extra money on those special menu items. The thin wagyu melts so perfectly into the delicious broths, the thought of it will keep me up at night. Treat yourself and get that meat!!

And my god. The broths. Holy cow. I got the spicy broth, and it was the perfect level of heat* that, combined with the huge selection of sauces, made the proteins and noodles DIVINE... THE RICE CAKES TOO omg.. The tofu, fish balls, and mushrooms were all also really well sourced, just really premium products priced very modestly for how quality they all were. *note: be ready for the peppers that have the slightly numbing/tingling effect- not on a Szechuan level, but a nice and perfect build that makes each ingredient have a beautiful taste profile.

We had the table with personal pots/induction stoves, so all the proteins/veggies we shared, but we would also pass along samples of the other broths to each other, and I wish I had ordered my own bowl of the seasonal vietnamese pho broth too because the one small bowl I sampled was heavenly.

I will definitely be back again to try the drinks, they looked fantastic and the ambience of the bar felt so nice.

Also, just realized I was too engulfed by the good food and fun with friends that I forgot to take pics. It was that good man“

“Fun local bar. Great staff and patrons to hang with!“

“Excellent ambiance, amazing drinks, and the best customer service !“

“Absolutely incredible experience!! Phenomenal handcrafted unique drinks and amazing staff- Val, Sam, and Jay! With the smaller space, everyone was extremely accommodating and made us feel comfortable. The atmosphere is chic and intimate. The music was perfectly curated. Only went for drinks, so we didn't get a chance to get food, but it looked delicious, and I will definitely be back! Highly recommend!!“

“Just got home from our 1st visit. The meal was spectacular. My wife had foie gra mousse and I had the beet salad both were great, entree black bass and duck breast both cooked to perfection the dessert was wonders. Great attentive service. Had the pleasure of meeting the chef, Sadie and the gen. Manager Melanie, they could not have been more accommodating. I highly recommend, parking might be hard to find. I will return and soon, they are going to offer the foo gra in puff pastry, I go just for that. I found it reasonably priced. My wife enjoyed her 70th birthday meal as much as I did.“

“We had our wedding after party at the Waiting Room, for ~50 guests.

I cannot recommend them enough! Service was impeccable from start to finish and pricing was competitive with downtown Hoboken.

The event coordinator, Avery was prompt and incredible helpful in getting all of the details right. Mike was attentive and delivered on every ask on the night of. Jessie was a gem behind the bar and was wonderful in the planning phases to help me nail down the drink package! Ryan showed incredible range with his DJing and kept the dancefloor lively all night.

Cocktail menu is fantastic as well!

I plan on coming back regularly“

“Had a lovely brunch here with friends. We ordered the cauliflower and bao buns to share which was really good! I ended up dipping my fries into the sauce. I liked the cauliflower better than the bao bun.

For our entree, we split the cheesesteak, lemon ricotta pancakes and the steak. My favorite was the cheesesteak. Overall the food was good and the staff were all attentive. Our server recommended and made a good mocktail for my friend which she really enjoyed. Martha’s is a great brunch spot in Hoboken.“

“Great meal - drinks extraordinary. Definitely coming back.“

“Very friendly, neat and clean place. Beyond words delicious food. The atmosphere noisy could not found sound absorber wall covers.“

“Vibes and more vibes def recommended“

“This is my favorite place ever. The best sushi, the best ramen, the best edamame. I’ve never had better than in here. Every time the food comes quick and it’s absolutely amazing. The servers are also so nice. I’m always happy to come in. Thank you Kinya!“

“Gorgeous restaurant, diverse menu, and perfect service! You get a hearty serving of olives, olive oil and rosemary fluffy focaccia to start. I got the arancini which had the meltiest cheese inside, the branzino which was so flavorful and the tiramisu which was oh so creamy! I got a red wine but the cocktail menu looked delicious. Would def come back to try everything!“

“Sharron is a VIBE! Not only is she BEAUTIFUL but one of the most attentive and personable bartenders I’ve ever had. She ran a full bar basically by herself with ease! I came back to the Hive just because of her!! Definitely will be the new spot!“

“La Boheme is a great restaurant, and my friend and I love coming here. The food is delicious, and the service is wonderful. Veronica always helps us with our reservations and anything we need. She is so kind and friendly. We have had JJ as our server numerous times, and he is always so positive and kind. He has such great energy and is always putting smiles on everyone's faces. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's always a great time!“

“We discovered Mathew's just yesterday and enjoyed a great lunch with their extremely pleasant staff. We'll be back.“

“Junto is one of me and my partners favorite spots in Jersey City, The quality of the cocktails and service exceeds expectations. Johnathan and Sam are exceptional; always very friendly and helpful when choosing your cocktail. Sam’s Devil’s Margarita is a must-try! This team really puts their all into their service and cocktail program. I’ll continue to come back!“

“Awesome venue with great service and live music. Definitely check it out“

“Nice Place“

“Sushi by Bou at the W Hotel in Hoboken is an absolute gem of an omakase experience. The 90s hip-hop vibe, graffiti art, and vinyl records set the most unexpected and fun atmosphere — it's cool, intimate, and totally unique. Every course was carefully crafted with incredibly fresh fish, and the chef walked us through each piece with passion and detail. The cocktails and sake selection paired perfectly with the meal. Whether it's a date night, birthday, or just a special evening out, this place delivers on every level. Highly recommend the Bougie upgrade — worth every bite!“

“The Calamari is amazing, so fresh and tender. The chicken Milanese is also great. Their Red Sangria is also good!“

“A friend’s daughter recommended this place, and I’m so glad she did. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by a very sweet, attentive staff member. The space itself is beautiful, with a calm and relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel welcome right away. And the drinks are fire!“

“There must be something in the water here, because this spot has some of the best bartenders I’ve encountered! My friend and I were visiting from Vermont and stayed at the W Hotel. We stopped by The Living Room one evening before we headed out to Brooklyn for some exploration. Jose and Peter were such amazing bartenders, it was difficult for us to leave! Incredible drinks, great atmosphere and conversation. The drinks were easily some of the best drinks we have had. Jose and Peter are both magicians when it comes to mixology. Definitely a highlight of our trip and we cannot wait to visit again. THANK YOU JOSE AND PETER!!“

“Great food and service was excellent“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“Food is very good and staff very attentive though menu limited. It's too loud! Music is fine but not when you can't carry on a conversation or hear the servers. I don't understand why anyone thinks that's a good thing.“

“Fantastic oysters in both quality and selection. Staff is casual and friendly. The kitchen is competent and there are good non shellfish items including a decent burger. However I found my strip steak lacking and though I was told it was a Pat LA Frieda steak, it was not the quality steak I've enjoyed from him before.“

“Would highly recommend attending a tasting here! As soon as you arrive for your tasting you are given a delicious welcome drink. Our host was Adam and not only was he knowledgeable, he was very friendly, welcomed questions and accommodating to everyone's taste buds. We even purchased two bottles of whiskey. Too bad the distillery is no longer open as a regular bar or else we go there to hang out!“

“Been to this place quite a few times and we are big fans now! The two items I would say are absolute must have are the steamed veggie momos and the paneer tikka tacos!

Those tacos are genuinely so so so tasty! And the momos here are our absolute favorites in JC / NYC. I don’t think anyone makes better momos than them - and if you disagree, we are happy to do a taste test haha. We have tried the fried momos and steamed momos and while both are great, we are partial to the steamed ones!

The owner, Mr Rana, is super friendly. He accommodated us on a busy night on Karwa Chauth, he is always super friendly when we walk in with our baby in her car seat or stroller and helps us make space and get her situated very comfortably.

Definitely check this spot out!“

“Great service good food 👍🥝“
