The Highwood

Great! I would definitely return.

I made reservations through Open Table to celebrate my best friend’s birthday. The hostess was very accommodating when I made special requests and needed to push back my reservations. Upon arriving, I was checked in, greeted by three people, and escorted down to the downstairs bar to wait for my friends. Alejandro, my bartender, was amazing. He suggested drinks and appetizers as I waited. Being new to the nightlife in the area, he gave me the rundown of all that goes on at the restaurant and places to bar hop if we were interested. The drinks are A-Ma-Zing! Our waiter, Thiago, was excellent. He made sure we had everything we needed, including a birthday surprise for my bestie. Finally the GM, Joe, took our experience to the next level. He escorted us to the rooftop lounge within the same complex personally. While we dined, he circulated and spoke to guests. Top notch service. I will be returning again!

Had another great meal and experience! This is a great place to come during the week after work.

Mac and cheese was not good at, it was dry, no texture, barely any lobster, really bad. I could also taste the metal on the skillet. The pizza was really soggy and the wings were very bland. I always order wings because that’s one thing you can’t go wrong with but It wasn’t great. The server was really nice but chilis food is probably better, I spent over a 100 dollars and it was the worst money I’ve ever spent.

The food & service was great, I would highly recommend this place to anyone lookin to have a chill night served with great food and dope scenery

The food, drinks and ambiance was amazing. The service was great. I would definitely go back!

Always a great stop when we are in the area. The food and menu selection are great and the wait staff is always friendly and attentive!

It was my 31st birthday. Everything was nice . We had great seating with a beautiful view.

Overall it was very good we had a little misunderstanding when it was time to pay but the food was amazing.

Food is great but very small portions. Energetic and lively towards later in the evening. Great views and space.

This was our first visit to the Highwood and we were very impressed. We had an earlier dinner reservation so it wasn’t crowded or noisy but definitely picked up as it got later. We ordered 3 apps and entrees for 5 people. Everything was great! Our waitress was so nice and attentive. We live in Weehawken and are excited to have a new go-to place so close by!

We went here for my sons 23rd birthday. The vibe was perfect for a young crowd. Energetic, fun atmosphere and great music. The food was good. The waitress was great.

We normally enjoy The Highwood, but this last visit wewere disappointed in some of our food last night.

On a positive note, the spinach/artichoke dip as an appetizer was delicious and we enjoyed it very much.

It was our main course that was a disappointment. My husband's Rigatoni Bolognese had very little meat in it and was very dry; with extremely al dente noodles. This entree' has been very good in the past at The Highwood, so he was both surprised and disappointed.

For my order, there must have been confusion on my order of macaroni and cheese sans bacon. I mentioned that I am a vegetarian, but not vegan. When the dish arrived at the table it was rotini with a small amount of watery tomato sauce, mushrooms, broccolini, and diced squash. While I appreciate the effort to accommodate my vegetarian diet, I actually wanted macaroni and cheese, simply without the bacon listed on the menu.

It's possible that the confusion was because it was so hard for the server to hear me as our reservation was at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday and the music by that point at The Highwood is very loud, and the customers are even louder. The energy is good, we don't mind that at all, but it may have been the cause of confusion on what I would enjoy as an entree'.

The meal ended on a high note with delicious desserts. My husband's key lime pie/cheesecake was very good, and I very much enjoyed the chocolate lava cake.

The service was prompt and very friendly.

Awesome place

Nice place to have a good time with friends and to feast your self when you're hungry.

Service was slow, food came out before first round of drinks and the place was not even busy. Food was not that good especially for the price point. Sandwiches do not come with sides and they are small. Maybe we caught them on an off day

Great food

Great food, great service and the view was amazing

Very pretty place with beautiful view of the New York skyline. The burgers and pizzas are delicious. It was very busy. Our server was very attentive.

Everything was great, the ambience was nice and the food it was delicious . I really recommend this to a friend or anybody that wants good food or wants to be in a nice ambiance.

Excellent experience

Beautiful backdrop of the NYC skyline. I would describe it as an upscale sports bar. The salads are overpriced and not too many vegetarian options. But food was delicious. Especially their seafood. Next time we will order their seafood tower to try a sampling.

Great Burger (solid), had the Farro Salad ( excellent), Rigatoni (done right), perfect view of the city and lots of big screen TVs to watch the game. Youre going to have to pay for parking, but thats expected at the Ferry. I'll be back many more times.

Best place around to actually fully watch and enjoy the game. With a live DJ setting the ambiance, and the very loving and energetic staff. Really makes it the perfect place to spend your time eating with friends and family.

Love this place ! Service was great , food very good . DJ played great music I highly recommend this place to watch the Football games and have a great time

Disappointed. We made a birthday reservation for outdoor seating and had probably the worst table in the restaurant. The staff was nice, but they seemed to forget about us. The place is too overpriced for so-so service.

I would go back for the drinks and something besides the pretzel as it was extremely salty. The lobster pizza left a very fishy and unpleasant taste. Didn’t go for dessert after the fail with the app and meal. The salmon was perfect minus the ratatouille that it came with.

However, the ambiance, the music, the service was top notch so I would def give it another try and always return for drinks and some good QT with friends or if watching a game.

The food was great, location is awesome with great views. Cocktails taste good but feel like they don't put too much of a kick. The hostesses were ok, just a little slow and felt like I had to explain myself a few times. The waitress was very friendly.

The service was excellent! I would recommend going to The Highwood to all of my friends! Our server’s name was Korey and he was most attentive, sociable, helpful, patient, kind, and extremely thoughtful.

The experience was amazing! The food was bomb and the ambiance was great. Only thing i would change is making more menu selections. Other than that it was great!

Nice place. Beautiful. Great view. Very loud . Can't hear the person next to you. Great bar but not good for table service. Waiter was awesome

Great location, food is great. Perfect ambiance. 🥰

It was very loud but we enjoyed.

Great service, food and fun! Outside seating, pizza and wings all great

When I asked for a booth in my reservation I should of gotten it there was one clearly free that I asked for but they didn’t give to us so I was a little upset about that

The photographer asking for money made us very uncomfortable.

This place is very loud and very busy on a Saturday night. No parking for the restaurant, must use municipal lot around corner. I have to say that all in our party said their food was delicious!
Lots of TV everywhere. Giving it a sports bar vibe as well as a club vibe due to music being played.

Our server Irina was exceptional and very attentive. Will be back for the scampi pizza and the one in a melon drink!

Our second time dining here and was just as good if not better than the last time. Our server was extremely polite and courteous. He took care of all our needs. The food was tasty and delicious. Portion sizes were perfect. The entertainment was fantastic with TV’s playing football games and baseball as well as a DJ with a live saxophone player. Needless to say it was great and I look forward to going back.

Great view, food, and service.
