Jacob David: One of the best dinners of my life. Octopus w/ popcorn was an unconventional revelation, xtremely tender. Salmon w/ artichoke & lime sauce was sophisticated and balanced. Must go in JC/NYC area.
Flora Cheng: Everything was amazing! Zucchini fries were skinny and crisp. Salmon with artichoke was superbly flavorful.
Bella Wess: Great experience! We got zuccini fries, steak, the moroccan chicken and two desserts. Loved the mains and desserts! Fries are a bit greasy.

A. Del Sole: V for Vegan is great. Artichoke is yum and soy cheese was a nice surprise
Nicole: V for Vegan slice is the best use of soy cheese and artichokes I have ever seen.
Amy Johnson Cook: V for vegan still my go to even now that there are three vegan options. Love the Daiya cheese, onion, artichoke and the pesto sauce drizzle on top.
Jassy Ahluwalia: Artichoke hearts for an app, filet for an entree, Brussels sprouts / creamed spinach for sides and amazing flourless chocolate cake for dessert!

Nina Paparatto: Bar downstairs is my go-to. All of the food is awesome! Rooftop was great when they first opened but gets pretty packed in the summer.
Joe Blossom: The pizza menu seems to get better each time we visit. The beer selection is great, too. It does feel a little Hoboken late in the weekend evenings (club, etc).
Ryan Haigh: The atmosphere, bar life, and pizzas of course.
Jarelle Marshall: Great service, great people, amazing food. Try the Pork chop, melts in your mouth.
Jarrett 🌈 Nolan: Porterhouse Steak = Food Porn
