About the restaurant

Jane Doe tops the list of the best Modern American Restaurants in Jersey City. We take pride in providing an exceptional dining experience in the heart of Jersey City. We have designed our menu to be a perfect blend of modern American cuisine with Asian fusion at our restaurant in Jersey City.

All of this amazing food pairs perfectly with our signature cocktails. The bar is the pride and glory of the Jane Doe experience. Each of our drinks is made by mixologists, not just bartenders looking for weekend work. This helps you taste every ounce of the passion and dedication we used to make these drinks perfect!

The warm and inviting atmosphere of our cocktail bar is accentuated by vinyl records playing throughout. We think this makes the perfect setting to enjoy our cocktails and makes both intimate dinners and lively gatherings complete.
Guests Ages 21+ Welcome
