    Kevin and Alex Pemoulie are serving inventive and all-around delicious New American food in Jersey City right now. If you hop on the Path Train, you're guaranteed to be charmed. [Eater 38 Member]

    The tasting menu was well worth the cost. It was such a pleasure to not have to spend time picking out what to eat from a menu. When you make reservations tell them any dietary restrictions.

    Since the menu is seasonal and changes almost daily, nothing to say here except the ingredient pairings are very peculiar and the tastes often mix sweet with savory. All in all incredible.

    Order the meaty and tender dorade served on corn, summer peppers, gooseberries, pearl onions, & topped w/ basil. The fish is cooked just right and comes out mouthwatering.

    Wow, this place is legit. I can't tell you what to order because the menu's always changing, but we had a duck sausage gnocchi that I'll be dreaming about for weeks. Everything we had was outstanding.

    A regularly changing menu and daily specials ensure unique and seasonally-focused plates from former Momofuku Ko chefs. A spiced Beef Tartare and Spaghetti Nero were the standouts from the meal.

    Oysters on the half shell w/ beet cocktail sauce. These were from Barnstable. I prefer our local Blue Points better. Hints of horseradish in the cocktail sauce. Use as a chaser.

    Phenomenal from beginning to end. The fettuccine with veal sweetbreads and prawns was delicious. The scallops and steak were superb. You don't just eat food here. You experience a meal.

    Thirty Acres now solely offers a 5-course, $75 tasting menu. Adjustments can be made for vegetarians, and dishes like the 40-day aged Rib Eye and the Celery Root Cappelletti are superb.

    Amazing brunch and outstanding service! We got the kielbasa, cheddar & egg sandwich, fingerling potatoes with sour cream & chives, French toast, and side of bacon. Everything was SO delicious!

    Kevin Pemoulie (former chef de cuisine at Momofuku Noodle Bar and sous chef at Craft Bar) opened his own restaurant on Friday in Jersey City. The menu will be seasonal and "Jersey-focused." Read more

    Service is very good and attentive. Ask for recommendations from the wine list. They will let you sample if you can't decide between two.

    For a flavorful appetizer, try the spicy eggplants with tahini quark sauce, za'atar, pine nuts & parsley.

    Cool space, church pews for seating, cool crowd. Arctic char was divine. Desserts lemon bar & apple crisp were to-die-for. Just don't order the duck, tough and under-seasoned...

    Lemon. Bars. They are a must. Hamachi and Pork Neck are also great. But if you didn't have the lemon bar, you did it wrong.

    Want something light and sour? Try the dill cucumber pickles (vinegar pickles with dill, mustard seeds and garlic). We ordered 2nds.

    Don't forget to have Kevin's Mom's Lemon Bars for dessert. Nice crust. Lemony, but not too sweet.

    Loved the fluke, nugget potatoes and fried skate. I understand they just opened but wait for food was unbearable. Would not have minded if someone came to check in on us or apologized.
