Best burger in jersey city by a mile. Believe me - I have tried pretty much every place in downtown.

Super friendly staff. Will be back - can’t believe it took me so long to try this place!

We went for the valentines préfixe menu tonight and it was amazing!! We had 2 apps, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts and what a treat! The filet was incredible. Scallops 10/10. Definitely coming back.

Highly recomemd. The drinks were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We started by sharing a shrimp Thai salad and shared a delicata squash with chickpeas, both offering a delightful variety of flavors and textures. The service was outstanding—exceptionally friendly and attentive. A fantastic dining experience overall!
