Jason: New bar in the Grove Street area, good for groups and drinks... If you don't mind a loud scene
Scott Pender: Pizza decent, service friendly. Venue as a whole is terrible. Loud dance party on Sun. night, 15 min to get a beer, no customizations at a pizza place (wth?!), and menu that doesnt say if red or white
Amanda Nanawa: The pizza selections are all really good. Ordered the Night King (GoT theme) & it was amazing. Even better, affogato & desserts.

Arthur: Very nice... food is good, read the menu (fish taco came with habanero relish! :). Good, attentive service. A bit loud but it was a busy Friday nite... crowded is good. Welcome to the neighborhood!
James Gash: Good food, a little pricey, AND TOO LOUD!!!
Sunaina: Great ambience. The tacos are delicious... Both the tuna tartrate and the chicken ones were amazing. Get the diff flavors of guacamole for the table. You can't go wrong with that.

K Don: cute place, but a bit overpriced for hot tea. good music but often loud environment for working
Avneesh Kohli: The coffee here is great (they serve Intelligensia!) but the backyard is the real gem. Such an oasis and perfect hangout spot in a sunny day.
Matt 🐹: Japanese style (iced) coffee is fantastic. Slightly stronger than regular iced coffee! Also, the backyard is awesome!
NJ.com: Crowded, loud, and Teutonic, Zeppelin Hall is arguably Downtown's most popular bar
Preeti Macker: Always have a good time here. It's loud and fun especially in a group. Grub is okay. Good selection of beers on tap with pretzels and sausages #joy
Santosh: Great time, many german beers on tap and fantastic german food options. Best in the summer when you can sit outside.

Marcela Duron: Pros: Montgomery roll is good. Sashimi and sushi is fresh. Cons: music is too loud, feels like u r @ a club
Sam H: My favorite is the sushi platter for 2! Very much worth the value. Get the soba noodles, not the ramen if u want something warm!
Ace: do yourself a favor, order the spicy tuna tartar. your nights' done...SMILE

Jeff H: Loud atmosphere. Semi friendly staff. Half Chicken dish was dry. Reese's peanut butter cup dessert good, but expensive at $7. A lot of friendly locals to talk to. Tables very close together.
Nicole Veronica: Love their bar pies, nachos, blackened salmon tacos, basically everything here. Definitely come on on Wednesdays for $6 entrees and their Sunday brunch is my favorite out of Hoboken/JC
James Vande Woude: If you can't find white star its the place w/o the sign on it

Italian Restaurant · Harsimus · 105 tips and reviews
John Butt: French toast is awesome. Fair warning it can get uncomfortably loud inside. Music is too loud, every surface is hard, and the server station is in the dining room.
Isaac Maleh: Didn't love it at first, but it's amazing now! Try the meatballs, and the home made pasta is great
Vanessa W: You have to get the Mama's homemade Sour Cream cookie to end your meal - simply spectacular!
Eli Sherer: Thursday night is jazz night. Sitting outside is great, not too loud (of course the weather needs to cooperate). Pizza is great, come hungry!
NJ.com: Razza's margherita pizza is a model of its kind — uber-fresh cheese, crisp crust, perfect char. Also recommended: the ricotta crostini and fire-roasted meatballs.
Larry Fish: Everything is wonderful . Cheese and bread are executed with perfection! Nothing extra to hide flavor, just the delicious food

Tasha Aoaeh: Nice rooms @Westin Jersey City. Spacious. I'm a sucker for a pretty bathroom w/a nice shower. BUT, avoid the rooms across from VB3 restaurant/club on Washington Blvd. It's 1 AM & the music is loud.
Gadling: Definitely get in a run with the Running Concierge, Mr. Dawn Waters. He's really great and adapts to your running style, you'll get a tour of Jersey City and you'll see amazing views of NYC.
Danté Pestaño: Patrick at the bar is the best bartender, makes the best drinks and makes sitting at the bar so, much fun, always a great conversation.
