Caitlin McglynnJune 16, 2014Had almost everything on brunch/lunch menu and it's all amazing. The wine flights with cheese at the bar is a great deal! One of my fav JC spots
Maite AcostaAugust 31, 2013French toast by far rules this place! I tried the huevos rancheros. They were good. Lots of flavor but I couldn't stop thinking about the French toast from our last visit!!!
AMAZING! Best Cosmo I've ever had, quinoa in the seasoned vegetables (nice!), chicken sandwich to die for! No need to go through the Holland Tunnel, one of NJ's best kept secrets!
Lisa CataldiJanuary 8, 2012Excellent squash entree, duck entree, & mac n cheese! Great wood high chairs w/ trays... Yay for trays! Best in any restaurant. Ambiance is lovely & food here is a taste explosion in your mouth!!! ; )
Found out today that there is an upstairs that you can have private parties in (<30) and that they sometimes have overflow in. Never seen this magical place though.
Kyle ByeFebruary 1, 2016My go-to for brunch is huevos rancheros with aged Spanish chorizo. Delicious and filling!
Christine de la GarzaOctober 25, 2011I love this place. Ambiance is laid back but has a rustic sophistication. Cocktails r superb. Ttapas or pinchos are wonderful. Small quaint space but nit cramped. Perfect place to go alone or with.
Brunch is killer here! I get the Ham & Eggs (with shaved Manchego) every time! And the steak for dinner is a swell cut of meat.- Pam & JayDecember 24, 2016Stopped in to say hi to folks that always took great care of me when I lived in JC. Great food, casual vibe.
- cheryl luseNovember 13, 2011For wine lovers - one of the few places that has Sancerre by the glass. Fun, fun place. Try the baby lamb chops, roasted corn, and for brunch the eggs and chorizo.
Caroline LeFebruary 4, 2016awesome quaint spot near Grove St. the steak salad was the bomb! perfectly cooked, seasoned and balanced- Djaniella D.February 1, 2016For brunch, I'd recommend the chorizo omelette or the huevos rancheros (w/ chorizo)!
Erika NielsenApril 30, 2014The goat cheese flatbread was so good we had to order a second! They also have a great Chardonnay here ~ deliciously oaky.
The food is good, the service slow, the place itself quite inviting. We keep coming back here for brunch. Huevos rancheros are a good brunch bet.
Sundays grab a spot at the bar and say hello to Mitch. He's great! Oh. And order the morning bun!
Best Mac n' Cheese in Jersey City! Large order, bottle of wine, and a portion meal split between 2 people is a great date night
If you like cheese and bacon (and who doesn't), get the Mac and cheese. Seriously. Just do it. Really, that amazing...
Aniruddha MandkeMay 17, 2015Do reserve your seating. Great quality food. Comparatively less options for vegetarians. Ambience pretty good.
Thomas TaylorNovember 13, 2014Neighborhood gem! I followed the various tips and ordered the Mac 'n' cheese, and believe me, you should too!
Amanda Petrocelli McLeanMarch 31, 2015Mac and cheese = heaven in your mouth. Must try! Is just as amazing with takeout.
Everything on the menu is amazing. Try it for brunch. You can't go wrong. Cool vibe and good service.
Jeffrey VargasJanuary 16, 2010It's hard to beat the French toast - made with croissants! - and berries. Pair it with the eggs or bacon or spicy chorizo and you will be in heaven. I also loved the Framboise Lambic Raspberry beer.
Poached eggs w/country bread & wild mushroom is hearty & not heavy. The Mac & Cheese is the best in neighborhood.
Shrikant ShanbhagFebruary 15, 2015Sunday afternoon call ahead to get seating for more than 2 people or else be prepared to wait.
John PerezNovember 25, 2012Huevos Rancheros were good...just the right amount of spice. The Ham & Eggs were delicious on crossiant!
Just once, I wish the guy with hair bigger than his entire body would acknowledge we have been coming here for a year. Kinda done with this place.
If the bouillabaisse burger is on the menu, get it. Lobster, scallop and shrimp with ginger ketchup. Amazing.
I'm a believer. The mac&cheese is both savory and an updated version of "comfort food". Add that to my faves: chorizo&eggs and the croissant french toast!
The bacon is serious and the egg dishes and bread are amazing. Best brunch in jersey city
Christopher C.March 23, 2014Awesome hostess on Sunday, leave your number and she'll call when tables ready.
Tracey BuschMarch 21, 2014The roasted acorn squash concoction here is incredible.... And I rarely like vegetables....- Greg WhitescarverJanuary 29, 2012Very cute place. Good music and a genuine European atmosphere. Chimay on tap. Try mac & cheese.
- Eric HoMarch 1, 2015Shh ... there's a living room upstairs that you can reserve for a private event!
Joseph SedoApril 25, 2013Went on a date with my girlfriend during the week...food was really good BUT when my girlfriend tried to order a second glass of wine they said sorry we already had last call. It was 10:45PM! WTF!!!!
I'm gonna have to add to the chorus and say the croissant French toast is amazing.
Scroll down…do you see a recurring theme? Yes-you cannot come here without trying the croissant french toast! And while you're at it, order the Chorizo and eggs!
Sooo good! Eggs and toast are great but not at all what you'd expect. It's very savory and feels more like a dinner entree than breakfast but I love it.
Joanna FlammAugust 22, 2014Treat yourself: sit at the bar and order a glass of rose and the garlic shrimp.
- Priya RavishankarAugust 4, 20162nd disappointing dinner in the last few years: 20-min wait for drinks, another 30+ minutes for incomplete orders. Do wine flights and mac & cheese at the bar.
- Each time I come for brunch, I enjoy the food and vibes. Gotta come back for dinner, sometime.
Get the grilled corn! Comes with 2 ears spiced to perfection with cheese sprinkled on top... yum
