I visited 87 Sussex for my birthday with my wife to grab dessert. We had a great experience! Pablo our server was very attentive and had great recommendations. The turtle chocolate cake was amazing! We had some sorbet, cappuccino, and wine as well. The atmosphere, service, and food was perfect. We can’t wait to come back for dinner!

87 Sussex is a notable restaurant in Jersey City known for its exceptional dining experience. The service is top-notch, with a professional and friendly staff that creates a welcoming atmosphere. The menu features a variety of delicious dishes, including the cornflake-encrusted French toast, bluefin tuna, crispy rice, and unique Asian-influenced Italian fusions. Guests have enjoyed special items like the wasabi-taste lamb and escargot wontons, which add a creative touch to the menu. The presentation of the food is impressive, and the atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, making it a perfect spot for celebrations or casual outings.
The restaurant has received glowing reviews from customers who describe the food as "phenomenal" and "incredible," comparable to some of the best restaurants in the city. Diners have enjoyed a variety of dishes, including blacktie scallops, fall forest fricasee, butternut agnolotti, braised short rib, and the crab cake. Guests have also praised the quail egg ravioli with white truffle and pulled oxtail as one of the most delectable bites they’ve had. The desserts, like the chocolate turtle cake, are light and flavorful, leaving diners with a memorable experience.
Despite its high-quality offerings, 87 Sussex can be surprisingly quiet during peak hours, leading some to believe it might be "ahead of the curve for the neighborhood." However, the delicious food, creative dishes, and attentive service make it a hidden gem worth discovering. Reservations are recommended as the place tends to fill up quickly.
