Came as a larger group (10) - the service and experience was just totally chaotic. While our server and the staff were kind and trying, the system/logistics of the restaurant were to be frank, a mess. Things were coming out painfully slow (asking multiple times for the same thing), missing dishes, missing parts to the dishes, very frantic staff all over the place confused. Asking for drinks outside champagne seemed to be a total pain. Server needed more support and was managing (too) many tables at once. We literally had someone apologize to us “for the bad service today” without prompting it. The set up of sending every dish to the table and then choosing what you want more of (which you only get 10 mins to chose more items before the food is over)- is not good for any dietary restrictions or preferences. It really is a shame for a beautiful restaurant in a busy area with nice staff (it’s just their system that is completely broken)

The food and interior were excellent, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing—especially for a birthday reservation. The restaurant was overcrowded, leading to long wait times for service. Additionally, if all ingredients are not listed on the menu, the staff should ask about allergies to ensure guest safety. The music was excessively loud, making it difficult to have a conversation and creating an overwhelming atmosphere. What should have been a special celebration ended up feeling frustrating. Lowering the music volume and improving service efficiency would greatly enhance the dining experience.

First thing to know about the brunch and bubbles which is the unlimited small plates and mimosas for $49. They serve you the whole little plates menu FIRST and you cannot pick what to get first but after they serve you the 12 little plates in the order of the restaurant choosing and in the timing of their choosing, then you can order the things you like and prefer. The pros of this is that you can try everything but at lot of food goes to waste if it is not your taste.
Second disappointing aspect was the timing, the serving sizes are small they don’t require a lot of time to finish and each person gets one piece but the next small plates take a longer time to come out, this is because for brunch they try to get the same plates out to everyone in that brunch session and so everyone can clear out at almost the same time. They also have a two hour limit which is not a problem, for us we went to the 2pm brunch and at 3:30 we got the final notice that the kitchen was closing. I think I was disappointed in the timing most because it took a while for them to bring out the 12 small plates that had to be served before choosing the items we really wanted. So when it was time to order the things we liked we only had a few minutes to decide and order.
The food was not it. Most of the items we got were served cold or warm at best. We got 3 times that we’re actually hot and enjoyable. You can tell items were made ahead of time for easy and fast serving such as the winter squash salad, the salad was wilted and not fresh.
The food that I recommend everything else was meh and cold - shrimp and grits - challah French toast - lox plate
The espresso martini was really good but not included in the bubbles and brunch but was so worth it.

Wonderful gem on the waterfront! Windowed dining room with great views of the city. Somewhat limited menu but enough options to keep everyone happy. Pork chops were excellent, highly recommend. Prices were higher than expected, especially the wine list. Overall solid choice, would not hesitate to return.

Fabulous experience with great service and really good food for brunch! Endless food and mimosas was great for a girls catch up! Highly recommend, especially if you’re in the Hoboken area.

One of my favorite spots for birthdays and celebrations. Very chic and modern. Food is phenomenal and overall a real treat! It’s also child friendly.
I highly recommend going for the brunch special where they bring your group the all you can eat option. This is something you must reserve in advance (typically a week or two). It’s around $35 a person and $16 per child. Not sure if there’s a minimum or maximum amount of guest you must have in order to request this service.
Unfortunately, if you or your guests don’t finish the food you’re not allowed to take it home if you do the “all you can eat” brunch special. So much food can get wasted.

Note, there is no TV in the restaurant. About the food, fitta misto was well prepared blend of seafood - shrimp, calamari and fish, perfectly fried. Venison pappadelle was under seasoned but after several scoops of cheese, better. Desert was a bit confusing. However cocktails were top notch but limited beer choices.

I celebrated my Galentine's brunch party this weekend and honestly I wasn’t expecting such a great service. I did make a reservation so I didn’t have to wait. The food was delicious, the girls loved mostly everything and the mimosas were great. We loved the: mixed greens salad, veggies puff pastry, the fried chix was to die for, omg We just loved everything 😂😅Just keep in mind that the 2hrs are not going to be expanded unfortunately we got there around 2:30 and I thought it was 2hrs sitting since the time we sit but no; it was from 2-4 so after that they open dinner and the brunch area gets closed. So please keep that in mind for your visit in the future. Other than that is a great deal for brunch and very affordable. There’s no photos of out plates because we were not even into our phones. Also, there’s not much parking available but there is private parking on both sides and it was $20 for the 2-3 hrs

Honestly, one of the best meals I’ve had in Hoboken in several years.
I am a Celiac and they were very accommodating with figuring out if the choices I made were or could be made gluten free.
The espresso martini was very smooth. The smoked salmon & smoked trout were excellent. I was surprised and pleased when the smoked meat and cheese also came with some gluten free bread just for me. (If you’re gluten free, you know we almost never get bread at restaurants.)
The monkfish & risotto were very good. And the pavlova was adorable & so tasty!
Shout out to our waiter, Garegin, who was perfect and so polite. We will definitely come back.
Went here with family not too long ago. We didn't have a reservation and we were a bigger group on a sunday brunch and yet they were still able to accommodate us without waiting for too long. Some family members were visiting from out of state and it was the closest spot in the area.
The staff were so kind and helpful, something that really does elevate an experience and considering how the vibe of the place feels more like an upscale-ish restaurant. They were so accomdating and checks on our table periodically.
I unfortunately forgot to take photos because as soon as the food started slowly coming out, the appearance has been very appetizing that we had to dig in😅 We had their brunch special and all of them tasted to so good. Nice staff, good food and a chill, clean vibe definitely should get a good shout out for it.

Halifax is quite a gem! My husband and I stopped in for dinner. As we sat down, the view was exquisite- we saw the Empire State Building twinkling with lights. Our waitress, Hilda, was wonderful. She was knowledgeable of the menu and gave us great recommendations for our meal- the special, short rib raviolo, was delicious. We also ordered the dry aged steak 😋 and the fritters for dessert were mouth watering.
The service was impeccable, 5 stars- the manager, Angel, checked on us many times. I have a nut allergy, and the kitchen was great about making accommodations. The plates were cleared and silverware was replaced timely and efficiently. We were extremely impressed by the restaurant and highly recommend it!

Excellent brunch experience here. Bottomless Veuve champagne (with optional orange juice and strawberry puree) and small plates were excellent. The variety on the menu is excellent and I appreciate that you get to try everything by default. Service was friendly and attentive too.
