    Stopped by for a quick lunch and it did not disappoint. First impression means a lot when walking into a restaurant. The ambience was great. Service was quick, which I loved because usually the waiter takes forever to get to you. We started off with their cucumber mint mocktail. Super refreshing and light then I ordered their chicken street tacos topped with corn. Highly, highly, highly recommend. For main entrées, I got the Dhaka crunch burger (vegetarian). As well as Korean chicken bowl and masala bowl. Food was very flavorful and refreshing to eat. I love the fact that you don't feel bloated after eating here, considering we ate a lot. Will definitely be going back because they had a lot more on the menu that I want to try! Highly recommend this place give it a try if you want to make your taste buds dance!

    4 stars: Great service and atmosphere, with an uneven kitchen…read more Service was a 5 and food a 3, so I'm landing on 4. The front of house was warm and welcoming, and our server was one of the best we've had all year. I wish I'd gotten his name, because he's a true pro and they're lucky to have him. The mussels were excellent, and the old fashioned cocktail was very well made. The accompanying bread was a letdown, though. It didn't taste homemade as mentioned, or at least it wasn't their best work. The entrées were where things went further south. The crab mafaldi looked and tasted like it had five times the capers it should have, and their brine seemed to have made its way into the whole dish. We couldn't get past the first bite. The snapper was a nice piece of fresh fish with a good sear, but it was overcooked and dry inside, and it had no salt. Our server and the kitchen kindly obliged when we asked to swap the pasta for the Wagyu burger, and they made another thoughtful gesture for the inconvenience. The burger was delicious and well executed. The special hand-cut fries they treated us to, unfortunately, had no salt at all. I'd planned to try the corn cheesecake, but after the entrées I wasn't in the mood for dessert. Still, the atmosphere is lovely and the potential is obvious, so we'll definitely be back.

    Met a girlfriend here for a belated birthday dinner. Even though the restaurant opened about a year…read moreago, it was both of our first times here. We came on a Tuesday night, and the restaurant was very empty. Maybe it was the end of summer, the rainy weather, or simply a slower night, but there wasn't much of a crowd. It's also about five minutes away from all the restaurants on Newark Ave, so perhaps it doesn't get quite as much foot traffic. The restaurant itself is very pretty - neutral colors, high ceilings, and dim lighting make for a really charming atmosphere. Our server was friendly, thorough, and very chatty when walking us through the menu. I believe he was the only server for the entire restaurant, though, so it took quite a while for our drinks to arrive from the bar. Once we ordered our food, however, everything came out very quickly, almost so quickly that I wondered if some of the dishes had already been prepared and were simply waiting to be served. We decided to share four dishes. First was the ahi tuna aguachile. Our waiter described it as being similar to a tuna crudo, but it came out in small chunks, and I didn't really see or taste the mango. This was our least favorite dish of the night. The street corn croquettes were our second least favorite. They arrived lukewarm and didn't really deliver much in the way of street corn flavor. I think they could benefit from a drizzle of Mexican crema and a sprinkle of chili powder or Tajín to bring those flavors out more. Our favorite savory dish was the honey-miso ricotta toast. The flavors were really nice, although I wish the focaccia pieces were larger or that there were at least four instead of three. We also shared the gnocchetti sardi pasta which was just okay. It wasn't particularly flavorful and felt pretty average overall. At $27, I'd much rather have a homemade pasta at Corto. Our second favorite dish of the night was actually dessert. There were only three options, and we were initially on the fence about ordering anything, but I'm glad we went with the toasted marshmallow crème brûlée. It was delicious. Our server also generously comped the dessert after learning we were celebrating my birthday, which was a really nice and unexpected gesture. From the restaurant's website, it looks like the menu changes regularly, and I think there is a lot of potential here. The space is charming, the service was friendly, and there are some good ideas on the menu. Unfortunately, nothing we ate really wowed us, and there weren't any other dishes our waiter described that left us wishing we had ordered them. Overall, I'd give this place another try, especially if the menu continues to evolve. Hopefully we just caught them on a particularly slow night and the restaurant is doing better than the nearly empty dining room suggested. For now, though, this feels like a solid 3-star experience: great ambiance, friendly service, but food that was mostly just average.

The…read moreaesthetics of The Roxy is warm, welcoming, modern, and provided a comfortable dining experience for diners both at the bar and at the table. The Ricotta Gnocchi came after about 15 minutes and was deliciously creamy, and cooked perfectly where it was both tender and provided a chewy texture which we found enjoyable. The portion was on the smaller side which we were informed by our server. It also looked very pretty as well! The duck breast and the faroe island salmon both came after another 20 minutes, which took quite a while since they weren't really that busy at the time. The duck breast was tender with a crispy skin that was paired deliciously with its cherry jus, so I highly recommend getting that! However, the salmon was overcooked and quite bland compared to the other two, which was quite disappointing and left us feeling hungry despite spending over 100 for 3 dishes. Although we enjoyed some of their selections, the high price tag did not really justify both the ricotta gnocchi appetizer-like portion, and the underwhelming and bland faroe island salmon. The Roxy has potential of being amazing, so I hope they take into consideration this review to continue to improve and change up their menu. Their menu is ever evolving, so they're definitely worth a visit if their updated menu appeals to you! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

    Note: this review is simply for the ambiance and drinks. I did not order any food…read more Rooftop at Exchange has imo some of the better views of the Manhattan skyline. It could definitely be a bit hard to find initially, but there are signs on the sidewalk. It seems like they used to dress code, but have become more accommodating and have let many come in to enjoy the view. I was greeted very warmly by the bouncer, and felt welcomed. It was a bit hard to get the attention of the bartenders, but they were busy with several customers. Each cocktail was around $18, and mocktails around $13-$14. I am used to these city prices, but can admit if you're not from this area it can be quite steep. I'd say, join for the views and a once in a while splurge for a fun night out B^)

    Have been to this location for the 4th of July in the past and was beyond excited to go back again…read more I was deeply disappointed and angered by the way management managed the influx of reservations and walk ins. I had an 8:30 reservation and arrived 30 minutes prior (according to their strict directions via text). I waited in line for an hour and 15 minutes and only received a wristband as the fireworks were going off and after arguing with the manager Jude. He consistently let walk ins in before dealing with any reservations. We also paid 35 dollars in advance. Once I got up to the rooftop, I was informed I would have to wait longer as they were kicking people out of our table. I asked to speak with a manager and again was forced to wait 35 minutes and witnessed a hostess quit mid shift. I do want to note, while waiting in line, a kind security guard informed me that the manager was letting people in who were late to their reservation. For example, a couple came at 8:00 for their 7:15 reservation and were let in. This was a horrible experience and will never be back. I understand the craziness of the 4th of July but this could have been avoided. Do not spend your money here, there are plenty of amazing places in Jersey City. Check out District! We went there instead and it was 10/10.

We came at an off-time, so it wasn't busy at all.

We finally had the opportunity to do so on a quiet Easter Sunday. First, the interior looks pretty amazing. A lot of history behind all the architecture and they did a good job preserving it. Because it was raining and chilly, we couldn't see the rooftop, but I can see the appeal. To start, we got an assortment of small muffins for the table. That was a nice touch. They were good too. For brunch, we each ordered omelettes. I got the Jalapeño & Cheddar while my fiancée got the mushroom and spinach omelette. We ended up complementing the items quite well. I did end up enjoying her omelette well. The vegetables were definitely fresh and cooked quite well. My omelette was nice and cheesy, how I like it. The jalapeños didn't have a crazy kick, but enough to satisfy. The potatoes were good too. There's no real coffee menu here (which is a slight miss), but I did enjoy the freshly squeezed orange juice as a nice change. I will be back.

I just tell myself that my dewy glass skin reminds him of frying oil. Anyway, the last time we got together, he picked Skinner's Loft for brunch. I was ready to write the place off, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. Skinner's isn't going to win World's Best anything, but it's a solid neighborhood spot with big portions for decent prices. The Buttermilk Pancakes were large, fluffy and satisfying. My Croque Monsieur was perfectly crispy and loaded with delicious melted bechamel, gruyere and prosciutto. One of the tastiest Croque Monsieurs I've had, including the ones I enjoyed living in France, and certainly bigger than its Manhattan counterparts. The Crispy Shrimp & Bacon Sandwich was also a pleasant taste bomb of basil, dill & cucumber remoulade, tomatoes, and, of course, bacon. Bottom line: Skinner's offers a brunch that's tastier and more affordable than many NYC joints. When you're hungover on a Sat morning, this might be the best place for you.
