I went out with friends for valentine’s day and at the end of the night we all payed in seperate checks. I paid with an $100 on a $31 bill. I. was suppose to get $69 in change and my waitress who barely checked up on us gave me only $65 back. When I told her I’m missing $4 she said they didn’t have any singles and I told her I was planning to tip with the change. Then she said to wait and she went off and found 4 singles. So they did have singles and she most likely thought since I was a teenager I wouldn’t notice. I also thought it was extremely rude she didn’t even mention to me she was missing the $4, so I don’t know what she was actually doing with the missing money. But other than that the restaurant was beautiful and the food was delicious.

My friends liked their food, but I got the ricotta gnocchi and it was probably the most disappointing meal I've gotten in hoboken. Service was good, and the venue was nice.

I'm an event planner who just helped with my husband's holiday party at City Bistro and I am so happy with the outcome! Ashleigh was super easy to communicate with during pre-planning. Fast replies to emails, easy to understand next steps etc. And when I arrived onsite this past Friday I was so happy to see our private room. We were 14 in a cozy space on the 2nd fl. It had one long table and a large built in bar. The holiday decorations made everything festive. Perfect setting. And I can't say enough about, Sebastian, our bartender / server that night. He was so personable, accommodating and efficient. He really made our night. Finally the food was perfect. Plentiful, delicious, well presented etc. I highly recommend this restaurant!

HOBOKEN: City Bistro Restaurant Lounge Bar is the perfect uptown spot to dine, sip, people-watch, and best of all, leashed and friendly pups are welcome at their outdoor seating! The patio has plenty of charm, with a canopy and string lights overhead, flower boxes adding pops of color, and tables to settle in with elevated American fare and carefully crafted cocktails. We loved that we could still soak up the indoor vibe while sitting near the open doors, plus we even had a view of the game on TV. The staff was incredibly attentive, making sure we felt right at home from start to finish.

automatically included 20% gratuity = worst service ever. never refilled water or checked on us. my friends food took over an hour to come out by the time the rest of us finished eating because it kept getting forgotten. food was not good, overly salty. they charged $30 to cut a little cake.

Our server blew her nose in front of us and tried to serve us our food without washing her hands. Absolutely disgusting. I will never come back here. We asked to speak to a manager and the front hosts advised us that no managers were available.
Probably the worst restaurant I've been to in Hoboken. No joke... my beer and my burger were both served lukewarm. The patio is definitely cool, however.

I held my engagement party at City Bistro and was amazed with the food, drinks and service! The pricing was also very reasonable compared to some other quotes and I highly recommend for any large group events.

I really wanted to like this place — the menu looked promising, with a good variety of burgers and pizza. But unfortunately, my experience was disappointing.
The food took a while, and when it finally arrived, I found a hair in my meal. Accidents happen, but it definitely ruined my appetite. The staff was polite when I brought it up, but there wasn’t much effort to make it right beyond a quick apology.
Atmosphere is nice and the menu has potential, but hygiene and attention to detail need serious improvement. Probably won’t be returning anytime soon.
