“We came with a friend from the wine industry who raved about Chambers - and she was right, what an amazing dinner and WINE SERVICE!!! Pascaline was so kind to us and gave us a lot of attention, I learned a lot and am still buzzed from the experience. I can't wait to go back!“

“Approachable fine dining exceeds all expectations. Every aspect of the experience is top-notch, from the impeccable service to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Paul at the bar is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and his cocktails are beautifully balanced. We had a delightful conversation about gin and mezcal, and his expertise was evident.

Our table had a lovely view of the well-appointed and choreographed kitchen, adding to the overall ambiance. The service was impeccable, and there was no need to rush. We were given ample time to enjoy the food and the highest level of service.

When we made our selections, our server, Noelle, described each menu item in beautiful detail. The scallops in blood orange and romaine with green goddess were a standout dish, followed by bucatini for me and monkfish for him. The sommelier, Allie, paired the perfect wine for each course, enhancing the dining experience.

The attention to detail and the overall experience for laid back fine dining were truly exceptional. It was an honor to be their guest, and I highly recommend their offerings to anyone seeking a truly memorable dining experience. Don’t skip dessert Thank you Silvia for attention to detail.“

What really stood out was how clean and well-balanced the drinks were! The next day I had zero headache, which says everything about the quality of ingredients and preparation.

Our server Mads was incredibly kind, attentive, and took such good care of us the whole time. She was funny and kept making jokes with me and my cousin, which made the night feel even more fun and comfortable. She had such great energy and you can tell she really cares about her guests. We really appreciated her! Thank you Mads <3 !!!!!!“

“The pork chop was succulent and had the most amazing spice combination. The barbacoa was the best I have ever had. Not a fan of the mezcal, but I gave it a try. Other more common drinks looked great with a good pour. Good vibe and open late with a super friendly staff!“

“Popped in on a Sunday evening while visiting the city, was told this is a must see spot. The hospitality from Ayele and the rest of the staff was top tier. Fantastic drinks and great knowledgable conversation with the bar staff. Definitely a place you need to stop in.“

“Fun local bar. Great staff and patrons to hang with!“

“The focaccia topped with feta, honey, and Calabrian chilis is all I want as a bar snack—it's perfect. The Lion Skull and Distiller Coffee cocktails are two of the best in the city. The bar staff is wonderful; from manager Jacob to bartenders Justin, Matt, Matt 2, and bar backs Sammy and Danny, they all bring their own unique talents to the table and are wonderful human beings“

“Absolutely incredible experience!! Phenomenal handcrafted unique drinks and amazing staff- Val, Sam, and Jay! With the smaller space, everyone was extremely accommodating and made us feel comfortable. The atmosphere is chic and intimate. The music was perfectly curated. Only went for drinks, so we didn't get a chance to get food, but it looked delicious, and I will definitely be back! Highly recommend!!“

“Absolutely loved this place! Happened upon it while my daughter and I were looking for somewhere to have lunch while walking to see the Freedom Tower 9/11 Memorial. Friendly staff, awesome food!!“

“Top class place, friendly staff and great food and savage craic! Well worth a visit if you find your self in need of a pint and a shot!“

“Atmosphere was great, super chill and perfect for a casual night out. Callie, I hope I got her name right, did a wonderful job. She was working as both the bartender and our server and handled everything so smoothly. You could tell she was busy but still stayed friendly and attentive the whole time. The drinks were amazing too. Definitely a good spot for casual drinks with friends.

Unfortunately, the steak wasn’t our favorite. Me and my girls all ordered it and it was very hard to chew (cooked medium) and could have used more seasoning :/ That said, the fries that came with it were amazinggg.

Overall, I would definitely come back for the drinks and the vibe.“

“I stay at the Canopy every time I come to Jersey City. Their food has always been amazing and yet they continue to dazzle with a new menu with the same cravings and yummy additions. I cannot thank the team at The Studio enough for always taking care of me and making me feel at home when away from home. Shoutout to Chef Claude for THE BEST mussels I’ve had in too long a time. Thank you chef for the extra garlic!!“

“Great cocktails and a very classic bar feel. We came around 9:30 and waited about 15 minutes, which honestly wasn’t bad for a weekend. Drinks were pricey but well made. Service was efficient, not overly chatty, but attentive. Definitely more about the drinks than the food, but the vibe makes you want to stay for another round.“

“It was a divine brunch in every way ! The service was exceptional and attentive. The Caesar salad was delicious and unlike any I have had before. The Pappardelle was a culinary masterpiece, truly and the tiramisu was beautifully designed. It was pure ambrosia, except for the whole coffee beans embedded inside. I could have done without those. Thank you for making my Sunday an unforgettable one. It goes without saying, that inside and out, Locanda Verde is an extraordinary restaurant !“

“Great place had fun with friends. Good friendy staff an food looks really good. Even though I didn't actually order any myself this first visit. Also 2 for 1 shots all night definitely helped even more. They also have touch tunes jukebox. Recommend to all visit this establishment.“

“Tucked away on the second floor, this Jersey City gem is a true hidden treasure—you’d walk right past it if you weren't looking. While I visited with friends for some expertly crafted cocktails, the moody lighting and chic decor make it an absolute standout for date night. It’s the perfect atmospheric bridge between a nice dinner and a night out dancing.“

“Fantastic oysters in both quality and selection. Staff is casual and friendly. The kitchen is competent and there are good non shellfish items including a decent burger. However I found my strip steak lacking and though I was told it was a Pat LA Frieda steak, it was not the quality steak I've enjoyed from him before.“

“bartenders were all nice you can tell they enjoy what they do!“

“Very tasty food and our busser was so amazing. I didn't get his name, but he was SO attentive and kind. I hope he makes it up the ladder to a waiter, because he was excellent. He alone made the experience even better! The food was YUM and the place was COZY =)“

“What is it like to be in Manhattan's only Orient Express-themed bar? When I came here on a late Friday night, the place was fairly crowded. The main room is narrow, somewhat resembling a train car. I ordered two drinks: their "Hemmingway" and their "Not an Espresso Martini". I liked both of them. Overall it's a nice, upscale cocktail bar.“

“Amazing Restaurant! Good food, service and cocktails .. Sam the server was very informative about the restaurants daily events ( happy hour, brunch etc.) I will definitely return ..“

“Chris was our waiter today. We came in with my wife’s 100 year old grandfather and 99 year old Grandmother on her birthday. They are from Shanghai. Chris immediately knew to bring kids waters, 2 hot waters for the grandparents and 2 regular waters for myself and my wife. Service was fast and accurate. The food soup base was perfect and the food was very fresh with great portions. The ice cream for grandma’s 99th birthday was a great touch. We look forward to coming back again.“

“este incredibil , nu se compara.................“

“Had a wonderful time here for my birthday yesterday! Service and food were excellent, especially this tuna tar-tare Roxy-style with whipped avocado and caviar. The management also went out of their way to make my night, which I really appreciate. The Roxy continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in town!“

“Lovely atmosphere. The food was super tasty, fresh, and authentic. Staff was friendly and wonderful, and cocktails were top tier.(Loved the Terina Basil) From the food to the warm hospitality and the elegant designs. What really makes this elegant restaurant out is the service, and the owners/management came over to our table and introduced themselves and made us all feel welcomed. I will definitely be returning!“
