Really great vibe . Super tight space . Cocktails menu was really creative . The Appetizers were pretty good . We liked the Polenta special . The crispy mushrooms were not that crispy . We really liked the Pork Katsu. The grouper was just OK as this particular cut of the fish is difficult to cut. Really good service . Loved the room and ambiance .

Lovely restaurant with interesting takes on cocktails and food. A bit expensive for what you get but overall a good experience.

Our meal was perfectly cooked. Fast, professional service. We celebrated our anniversary and was overall a great experience. Will come back!

We were going to a show at White Eagle Eagle Hall. It is literally two doors away and was fabulous. The cocktails were delicious, the food was amazing and the ambience was fun and inviting. We would definitely recommend Jane Doe and hope to come back again soon.

For a place meant to be higher end, the fact that they still make you use QR codes and digital menu is really frustrating, especially bevause the user interface on their site is not the best and is tacky/ugly doesn't match the ambience. the descriptions on the menu leave you with no idea of what you are going to get. Though the food was delicious

What else could I say but we will be making Jane Doe one of go to for dinner and thank you to our waitress Sharon for making it a great night!

Haven't been here in a year. Not the same food quality. Ricotta appetizer was the best. The taggilone with bone marrow too greasy and the pasta was stuck together. The grouper was a bit overcooked. The drinks were very good. We won't be returning for awhile.

The restaurant was incredible, we ate our way through the entire appetizer menu so didn't get too much of the entrees but everything we ordered was delicious.

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Jersey City. I’ve brought many friends and family here. But on Sunday at 5 p.m. I called ahead to confirm availability, was told they had space, and then walked in with my brother and niece only to be turned away because of a 21+ policy.
The restaurant was completely empty. The manager asked if we had a reservation (we didn’t) and then refused to seat us. I’ve never encountered a restaurant, not a bar or club, that enforces a 21+ rule, especially this early in the evening. It felt arbitrary and unwelcoming.
The manager’s attitude and lack of customer service were very disappointing, and unfortunately this experience… I won’t be returning.
Good ambience, terrible service - I was served chicken in my dish after specifically asking for a vegetarian version without the chicken. 🤮
I am a vegetarian and I specifically asked for a vegetarian alternative for the pasta. The server confirmed that they can make it without chicken. The pasta was served and after 3-4 bites of pasta I found a piece of chicken in the dish. After looking further I noticed multiple pieces of chicken in the pasta - luckily I didn’t eat one but I was still disgusted at the fact that I ate a dish cooked with chicken. When I called the server and showed her the chicken she simply called it a kitchen mistake and replaced it with a new dish - no apologies at all. Totally non-chalant behavior. Even when the new dish was served, and bill presented, none of the wait staff apologised or even acknowledged the graveness of their mistake. I understand that in a busy kitchen mishaps can happen — but the staff should be humane enough to apologise and acknowledge how much of an inconvenience it is to feed chicken to a vegetarian person.
Not coming here again, and sad as I type this since the ambience seemed great - but I just can’t stand to see that server or manager after their ignorance of such a bad mistake!

I had reservations and I was running late and the restaurant kindly accommodated us. The food came out the fastest I've ever seen, literally felt like minutes. Even with the speedy service, the food was excellent! Can't wait to go back, Truly a great experience, thank you Jane Doe!

Had an amazing experience here, the staff, food and drinks were all phenomenal. Really could not have had a better experience and the environment is beautiful and so fun. We got the whipped ricotta, linguine, and steak. Loved it

This is a really cool spot, pretty under the radar, but with that name, I guess that makes sense. The food was very good, it's an interesting concept that combines Japanese and Italian cooking, but the dishes we got all tasted very good.

Really just blown away..From the taste, preparation, service, ambiance - everything was just perfect. Highly recommend! Perhaps one of my favorite restaurants yet!
