    I would not recommend this place. I was lucky enough to have a very nice waitress who was doing her best under her work conditions. Because the overall ambiance of this place sucked. From the rude manager to other rude customers snatching sauces and forks out of the waiters hands. The food was really below mediocre. My medium steak I ordered came back dead dry. There was only one A1 sauce on its last leg going around the restaurant, so obviously their inventory wasn’t together. The mimosas were okay but the pitchers were impossible to pour so it ended up all over the table. Just 10/10, don’t recommend. Please just go anywhere else.

    Everything was well organized and spacious. Still had the opportunity to sit outside if you liked (heaters are present). Service was excellent.

    Had high hopes for this place after looking at the menu. The Jalapeño Margarita had no Jalapeño at all, it was a rail cocktail. Meat and cheese board, meatballs, onion soup and beet salad were good apps. The main courses were subpar. The veal parmigiana was very chewy and steak frites was over cooked while fries were undercooked. The meatball linguini was good. The service was subpar. The server hadn’t tried any of the food herself so recommendations weren’t helpful. The manager needed to come back to the table after we ordered food because the server didn’t write the order down. I think this place has a lot of potential but wouldn’t go back after the experience.

    The "steak frites" were disappointing.. Steak was overcooked and instead of FRESH, crisp thin fries, these fries were the fat, frozen type you get at a school cafeteria. I ordered a pinot noir. After several minutes I was told that tonight they only have malbec, cab or merlot. I chose malbec as a substitute. She returned shortly and apologized again: no malbec either! This place has a nice location but the food is not good. I will not return nor recommend this restaurant.

    I'm giving it 2 stars because the location is awesome. Everything else...? Not so much. Food is absolutely awful! I had a beet salad with grilled shrimp- beets and shrimp were from a can. Service was equally bad. So many places to choose from in JC, this will not be a repeat for me!

    Went to Jersey City to visit our son. Saw this place when we were walking back from the path and decided it looked inviting with outdoor eating area. We were not disappointed. The boys had beer and I had a margarita that was declicous, especially on a warm evening. We each got an appetizer and then split a pizza. Pizza was delicious. Our waiter, Will was very helpful in recommendations on the pizzas and very attentive. With it being happy hour the prices were awesome. We will definetly be back and will ask for Will again.
