Food was good. Unfortunately, the staff was rather inattentive (had to ask for refills, forgot spoons for our soup, tried to flag down the waitress for the check for a while). We made a reservation so assumed we would be in the dining room but were sat in the bar, so it was understandably a bit noisy. The children at the table sat behind us were pushing on our chairs and being incredibly disruptive but staff (and their parents) said nothing. Food unfortunately was not good enough...
Elysian is a few blocks away. Eugene, the original owner, spent an enormous amount of $ on restoring the old shipyard blue collar bar into the most beautiful dining space in Hoboken. If you go, look at the ceiling and walls, especially in the back room. The food was the usual high quality as was the service. The noise level was less than usual because it was a slow night between 6 and 730. But as we left, tables were filling up.
For a brunch, the foods were well made and fresh, but nothing very special about their flavors to me personally. Typical types of brunch menu I felt. I certainly enjoyed it from my one-off visit along with the restaurant’s uniquely cute interior design so it was worth trying, but not sure if I’d undoubtedly want to revisit this place.
