   Great food, beautiful space, very small portions and overpriced. Would go back but not often. If pricing was a bit more modest would go regularly.

   A must visit on the Hudson in Weehawken. Best restaurant by far. Great presentation of all dishes. Perfect servings sizes. Low salt. GREAT DRINKS! Over all welcoming with a good looking clientele. Will be back soon for sure!!!

   This spot has a trendy, awesome atmosphere that’s perfect for a night out. The craft cocktails are outstanding, and the food options are both diverse and exceptionally well-executed. When my partner didn’t enjoy his dish, the staff went above and beyond by comping it, showcasing their excellent customer service. Highly recommend for birthdays, date nights, or any special occasion!

   Food was excellent and the wait staff was great too! Only issue was the amount of time we waited for food to come out. If I had to be critical of anything else was that the scale of the booths and tables should have been bigger. Almost felt like high end diner booths. It felt tight sitting at a booth and very few tables would hold 5 people.

   On the pricey side, yes, but you get what you pay for. Everything was excellent. Menu, food, Preparation and presentation, Staff, service, cocktails. The Halibut was amazing and I 'm not a seafood lover. Definitely a go to rather than the other high end, unjustifiably over priced, copy paste restaurants in the Weehawken waterfront area. All I can say is that its THE new place to go for fine dining in that area.

    I came here for the first time for the New Year’s Eve experience. I was extremely excited about this. The valet team was lovely and kind and offered us an umbrella so we could walk into the restaurant. The staff at the front desk were very kind and took our coats and led us to a wonderful table. Once seated we were able to hear the live group that was performing and got to look around the beautiful establishment. My server was Natasha and she was absolutely fantastic! She was energetic and kind. She truly went out of her way to make this evening as wonderful as she could. Since this was the New Years Eve experience, there was a fee for the meal that was already set. The options on the prefix menu were marvelous. The Steak tartare was my favorite part of the entire meal but it took almost two hours to get. It seems as though the kitchen was overwhelmed. Our first dish took about an hour to come out and the second followed up about another hour later. We didn’t get our third course till almost 1:15. This is almost three hours after we had been seated. Although the food was delicious. The wait time affected our experience. Although I was disappointed with the food delivery, I still enjoyed myself overall and I would come back to dine here!
