My husband and I used to come here often since it’s right next to our apartment building and the food is really good. After a few months, we went back tonight with some friends and the service was terrible. I literally wanted to leave and unfortunately I don’t know if I will go back.
We got there by 10.30 pm to grab a beer (they close at 12 am), we picked a table and someone, I don’t know if it was a manager, the owner, or who, yelled at us saying “you can’t sit there because the kitchen is closed, sit in this section”. He didn’t even say hi, he didn’t greet us or welcome us, he just said that with a really bad attitude.
Then when I asked the bartender about two cocktails they have listed on their menu (I wanted to know which one was sweeter) she cut me off and said they didn’t have the ingredients for one of them, and when I asked her if the other cocktail was sweet, she treated me really bad. I then asked her if there were any sweet cocktails and she literally said, I quote, “I don’t know what it is sweet and I won’t tell you. Can you just make a decision and tell me what are you ordering? It’s not that difficult, we are not a cocktails place so just pick something from the menu”. I can’t explain how rude and arrogant this person was. Never been treated like that at any restaurant, bar or any shop.
Back in summer, there was a kind and friendly waitress. I didn’t see her this time unfortunately.
I also read a recent review and I agree that this place changes by who you talk to.

Came here with a friend on the 22nd of October and was served by Stephan. Personally one of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve had in a while. He was extremely rude and made us very uncomfortable. I asked if they had lemonade and how much it was and he scuffed and rolled his eyes. We could see him talking about us in the corner. He genuinely treated us like trash while we watched him treat a group of business men sat next to us like actual human beings. Once I tried to get his attention because we wanted to order another meal and he gave the rudest hand gesture. We ended up leaving and going to a different restaurant just because of his attitude. We wrote on the check that he made us uncomfortable to which he thought was extremely funny. He really needs to check his attitude. I worked as a server/bartender for 8 years, that’s not how you treat a customer. In the last few years I don’t think there’s been a time in which I didn’t leave a tip till that day. We were very excited to try the food and actually like the little we ate but we will not be coming back.

Visited a few days back with my office colleagues for Happy Hour, and we had a pretty good experience. They have a good selection of Cocktails, and some decent options in their Happy Hour Menu, including $2 Oysters that was pretty fresh. We ordered a wide range of appetizers, and everything tasted good.

Service was quick enough, considering how busy they were. Staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was also pretty chill. Place wasn't too loud and was able to hold conversation without shouting over each other. Tables and Chairs were somewhat rickety though, hope they fix them up.

Charming spot with a classic bistro vibe. The tacos were tasty, and we tried the shrimp, fish, and chicken — the fish and chicken were definitely the winners. The shrimp was okay but needed a bit more punch. Overall, the dishes could use a little extra dressing or seasoning to really shine, but everything was fresh, especially the chicken.

The crème brûlée was smooth and not overly sweet, which was nice, but the cream could’ve had a bit more flavor, and the brûlée top needed a stronger caramelized crunch.

Lovely atmosphere and a nice place to enjoy a casual bistro meal.

Greene Hook’s a go-to spot after work. It’s close to my office, has a chill vibe, and the happy hour (Mon–Fri) hits just right with solid drink and appetizer deals. Perfect for unwinding or catching up with coworkers.

Our server was very unenthusiastic and just did the minimum. At the very end he eked out a tiny thank you. He spent most of the time on his phone. I did not tip well.

The food was okay. Not bad. The atmosphere was very nice. Unfortunately, the dartboard is located on the way to the men's room, and you have to wait for people at the dartboard to finish before you can go by.

A really great bar/restaurant in Jersey city. There’s a lot of outdoor seating which makes it a great pick for when it’s nice out, and the inside is also super big and spacious. It’s a pretty casual place but has more and better food options than your average bar. The nachos are great and come with lots of pickled jalapeños, and they let us swap in chicken instead of the beef. The vegetarian platter is a nice option as well and comes with falafel, hummus, pita, and some pickled onions and olives. I highly recommend the little chicken sandwich and little burger- they were very well seasoned and juicy. I haven’t gotten actual entrees from here yet, but the snacks and apps are great. They also have a nice selection of cocktails, and a happy hour if you can get there early enough.

Short wait to get seated, and greeted by friendly staff I ordered the Bucket Of Chicken it was served nicely but dry. But desert was good!
