    Beautiful interior
    Mark V.

    The BEST Latin American food omg!!! Get the tapas!! Get as many as you can eat! Insane drinks, and bar! This is a must try if you are in the Hoboken area! God, we love this place! I would suggest just ordering the tapas! These shareable small plates are to die for! We ordered the four most popular ones recommended by our waiter, the street corn, the loco fries with beef, the chicken tostones, and the mango shrimp Tostadas!!!!! I don't know where to start, but you must get the street corn. This is not something to even think about. My favorite dish was the mango shrimp tostadas! There were so many flavors going on here, absolutely delicious unlike anything I can remember! Let me say that if you must order theLoco fries! We got it with beef, but it also comes with chicken. First of all very hearty and filling dish, which is a good thing. Boy was this a delicious one, I'm still thinking about it now and it days after I ate there! I also want to call out how awesome this place is decorated and the atmosphere inside is second to none! Very festive, fun place! If you're not there by 6:30 you will not get a seat at the bar or even the tables near the bar. Looks like they were serving up lots of margaritas! We ate in the dining area, which filled up quickly after we got there. Highly recommended if you're in the Hoboken area. If you're looking for a place to eat, please look no further and just come here you won't regret it, you'll love it!

    Nice ambiance, perfect spot for date night or grabbing dinner & drinks with friends. This is a spot with a Latin American take on bar food and plenty of great options on the menu. Whatever you end up ordering, I really don't think you can go wrong. I ordered the garlic shrimp and the tostadas that came with it were delicious. We also ordered the lamo chicken fries which was so flavorful.

    Really cool, fun place with yummy eats and cocktails. Open window gives it a semi-outdoor patio feel which is brought to life with all the grass walls. Neon signs adds a sense of "whimsy" that just tells your sober self that fun is on da waaaayyyyy (hey-o). Only ordered 1 entrée (the seafood chaufa) and two caipirinhas. Food was delish and definitely a generous portion. It tasted authentic but not rustic, you know? Close to the Path/train station so definitely conveniently located to go back a few times and try all sorts of things on the menu and enjoy happy hour (they have one) items even more. Best part was the staff. I sat at the bar and had the chance to interact with two different bartenders-- really nice, welcoming, which, let's be honest, makes the experience so much better, no? Hel-lo summer at Panela ;-)

    Pretty place but inadequate experience by far. Visited for a last minute date night and the place was pretty empty on a Saturday night. We were seated quickly and the first waitress was very nice. She took our drink orders and we wanted to try the cocktails so we ordered the La Jefa and Agua Fresca. The La Jefa was pretty good but I really did not like the Agua Fresca. I didn't even bother to take a photo. The service kept taking very long when we were trying to see if I can get a different drink. The initial waitress didn't continue helping us but a new one. I tried asking for a new drink because I didn't like the one I have and she immediately seemed rude and said they don't do that there. Fair but I'd think they want to give customers a happy experience so they'd try to make something work. I wasn't sure what I wanted because I don't like tequila and that was most of the menu. I told her I needed time and she came back like a minute later and I still didn't know. She gave an attitude and didn't come back or make eye contact the rest of the time. I finally asked for the classic mojito and it was fine. After this we were just over how long it was taking and by that point it was after 10pm and our hunger went away. We decided to just get the app because we didn't even want to spend the money. The Taco Vampiro was tasty and flavorful. I'm glad we didn't spend too much. They had a DJ toward the end of our dining experience that was playing good r&b and reggaeton mix. We went to the bar to have some well drinks and dance a bit but the music style changed so we left. It wasn't really the best experience and I wouldn't return to dine.

    What an amazing ambiance. This place has really great food and drinks!!!! The dishes are literally to die for. So flavorful and plentiful. I came here for my birthday dinner and the dishes that everyone got were so delicious. I look forward to coming back. It's also at a great location and you can go for a nice stroll by the water after eating.

    I got together with one of my friends for brunch and a dance class. When I arrived I had to circle a couple of times to find parking. Eventually, I found something not too far. I walked in and was greeted by a nice hostess. The restaurant was super cute and they had an area for the dance class. Isabella was our server, and she was nice. The restaurant has bottomless mimosas until 3pm on Sundays and a small brunch menu and a dance class for $55. They have an additional menu for an additional charge. I ordered the chicken chaufa with the mimosa, and they gave a salad as well. In addition, I ordered the seafood macho. My friend ordered the shrimp tostones, and in addition, she got the shrimp tallarin saltado. When the food came out, it looked yummy! We dug in, and the food was very good. I really liked the chaufa the most. To finish, we got some signature cocktails that were great, along with taking the class. It was a good time!

    Nice tapas! Enjoyed all 4...tostones, tostada, street corn, and empanada. The flavored margaritas lacked...the flavor. Will come back for the food again!

    Went here for a friends birthday and was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere was great and the food came out quickly and was delicious. Highly recommend getting tapas to split. The only negative was that we couldn't go downstairs to the speakeasy because it was booked up so if you want to try that, be sure to make a reservation.

    Passion fruit margarita
    Natalie S.

    Popped in here with some friends after we went to the Feast on Sinatra Drive because we heard EXCELLENT music coming from this establishment. We were not disappointed. We opted for the bar because we popped in just for drinks. Bartenders are super nice, extremely attentive and got us our Passion fruit margaritas. Good vibe, great people, but they get a full 10/10 because of that DJ. There was not one song that wasn't great. I started to get hungry so I just ordered the nachos (you can get it topped with beef, chicken, or veggies). I chose the beef. LISTEN! I can't believe I'm over here raving about nachos, but they were different, refreshing, and addicting! They were served with cut up cucumber and other deliciousness, but please please please, just order the nachos as an appetizer. You won't be disappointed. Totally going back for a sit down dinner soon! Cheers to Panela!

    Amish chicken with tacu tacu fried rice Under cooked Maduros Steak and eggs
    Latoya L.

    Came here on friday night around 10pm after we did Tipsy tie dye around the corner. We didnt have reservations but was told it would be a 15 min wait for 2 people. I gave My name and phone number. We waited at the restaurant next door since they had an outdoor heater. After 15 min we went back to the hostest to see if our table were ready. They told us they had a table available but it would be a tight fit. We agreed to see it, and when we did, the table was crammed between 2 bigger parties. Everyone had to move their table for me to fit in the booth. I had to climb over someone to sit. It was a really tight fit but we delt with it. I ordered the Amish chicken and my friend ordered the steak with scrambled eggs. I also had the panela punch. The food too a really really long time to arrive. My friend wanted to leave but i was hungry. The punch was good but not worth $10 with no alcohol. The chicken was ok. It lacked a lot of flavor. It needed a sauce badly. The tacu tacu rice was too crunchy and dry for me but it had good flavor. My friend said his steak was good but they gave him powered eggs since he asked for scrambled eggs. The beans that came with his order wasnt good. It didnt go with the meal. I ordered a side of maduros thqt i sent back because they were under cooked. When i received them back, they were more well done which i liked. All in all, its an ok restaurant. I wouldn't drive over an hour to come here again. Parking is atrocious as well.

    The reception : People greet you with a smile when you walk in . I went in to take a peak and look at the menu , ended up going back same day . The decor : The decor is simply stunning .. loud , colorful and happy . Definitely a Party atmosphere . They have this wish tree painted on the wall but the leafs are sticky notes and you can write you own wish , a very cute touch to the place . The Bar : The bar is beautiful and our bartender Brandon was a pleasure the entire time we were there , always trying to be helpful and accommodating . The food : OMG :: they have this seasoned popcorn .. DO NOT EAT THAT .. HAHAHA you'll get addicted to it ( the best popcorn I ever had ) . We also ordered the Pulpo , Papa Rellena and Skewed Chicken . Everything as served nice and hot . In all the experience was very pleasant and we will definitely be back . The down side : The only down side os that the bathroom is extremely out of the way downstairs and some of the tequilas and beers we asked for they didn't have ( it's a bar, you shouldn't run out of alcohol ) if the item is on the menu you should have it available . So hopefully they will work on that . All and all a great place to visit conveniently located by the path .

    Entree. Seafood W/ Macho Sauce
    Martha T.

    Panela was one of those restaurants that I had in mind to visit. I had stumbled upon it on instagram and immediately said , " I wanna go"! I came here for a special burlesque show and dinner they had going on this week. So I was super excited to be there! My impression going in was like omg! It's beautiful in here! The decor, lighting, the whole place is just beautiful. Very instagram worthy. They also had Spanish music playing which I love, mainly salsa !! Everything looks upscale and modern but not too fancy to the point of a dress and tie, if that makes sense lol. Since the event was a ticket and dinner type thing, there was a pre fix dinner menu but you were also allowed to order from the regular menu. I order the salchi papa and the seafood with macho sauce or something like that. The salchi papa , had chorizo in this flavorful sauce like something my mom or grandma would make. So you know I enjoyed that. Instead of using fries , like most Latin Americans do with this dish. They totally made it their own with fingerling potatoes . It was delicious! The entree was ok. It came with white rice, beans and seafood in some kind of stew like sauce. I asked the server if the sauce that the dish came with , was spicy and I was told no, I was told that it's a garlic sauce. Well here is where my criticism comes in, it was spicy, for someone who doesn't like spice at all (like me) it was on the spicy side. The rice was good, shrimps were cooked perfect and so was the fish in the dish. But the sauce was too much for me. I really wish she would have been a bit more specific with her description of the sauce or just simply ask if she really didn't know. (This is the only reason I gave 4 stars) This place is very unique in a whole with their food and specially their drinks. I got a mock tail pina colada or something similar and it was delicious. Tasted like a smoothie. I then had a mojito which was alright. The burlesque show was amazing and although it was delayed, the manger gave us a complimentary dessert for the wait and inconvenience, which was very nice. I can't wait to come again and try something else that hopefully I'll enjoy a bit more. Things to know -Great Date night spot -Parking on the street (I found some fairly quick) -The Sinatra room is downstairs in the basement and is also a good little spot to hang. Also has another bar there. -Service was great - Great for family and or big groups - Reservations should be made if going on a weekend. ( I was there on a Wednesday night and it was pretty packed )

    Yummy! Authentic! Flavorful! Honestly I was pleasantly surprised by the food and the drinks. Let's be honest most places that have been hyped up by social media fall short. We had an array of dishes and desserts and drinks and nothing fell short. Our waitress was soft spoken but she was very attentive and let us know her opinion on items. The decor of this place is fun and funny. I would come back! 50% off a classic cocktail if you check in!! Very nice perk!

I got their espresso martinis (actually, I got a second one when I finished it cause why not), and my husband got their mule, which had a nice piece of candy, ginger, and a light in it. We were only here for drinks and apps as we had dinner a couple of hours later. We went with the tempura oyster mushroom tacos (they are very mini) and the everything Ttaokboitti.

About 10 minutes before opening on a Saturday night there were some people waiting for the doors to open. Once we asked for a table, we were asked to step to the side so reservations could be checked in first. Luckily in a few minutes we were offered seats at the bar since they had full reservations that night. The bar was comfortable and the bartenders were great. I loved watching the cocktails being made and speaking of cocktails, they are excellent. The Bool included tequila, pomegranate and jalapeño; the other cocktail was a spritz of sorts and both were fabulous. The menu is Korean tapas, so we ordered a bunch of items to try. As each dish was served the server described the dish and even provided some instructions on the best way to eat it, if applicable. Tuna Tartare was quite good, the knife cuts were a bit inconsistent which was surprising given the level of everything, but the dish was still enjoyable; citrusy with crispy sunchoke chips. Oyster Mushroom Tacos were incredible. It didn't even feel like I was eating mushrooms. The tacos were so falvorful and balanced. If they ask you if you want to add a 4th taco to the dish, definitely say yes. Berkshire Kimchi Fried Rice served with a beautifully runny egg brought the spice and the dish was both elegant and homey at the same time. Just wonderful Birria Mandu served in a bone marrow consume was spectacular. Fried Chicken Wings, we opted for the sweet and spicy version served with kimchi daikon were sublime and addictive. They also provided a wet towel with the dish so you can clean up afterwards. Those 5 dishes were a good amount of food to feel satisfied, but we couldn't stop there and needed to try dessert. Do not pass up the Black Sesame Bread pudding, it was sublime. Served in a sizzling cast iron pan with candied almond slices and ice cream. It was so unique and really really delicious. The whole experience from the hostess to the servers to the food was A+ and I can't wait to go back.

There were two-three fairly larger hunkers which we had to cut up but otherwise flavor was nice. Next came the top sirloin cooked to medium with a bed of roasted carrot purée and a salsa sauce. The sirloin was seasoned nicely and cooked to perfection- very tender! By far my favorite dish! The calamari was a bit of a disappointment. It was fried too crispy and lost the calamari taste.

DO NOT GET the queso - it's literally a couple thin slices of cheese, a tiny bowl of almonds, and some tomato mixture. You can add bread for like $7 on top of the original $16 price - actually ridiculous for what you get. The roasted duck breast was flavorful and tender, and the bavette steak was even better.

The tapas we tried were great. Patatas bravas were crispy on the outside, with a fluffy inside, and maybe a touch too much salt. The hamachi crudo was excellent, with a unique coconut and mango sauce that gave it a touch of sweet to go with the zest. And the pulpo was great, the octopus was well prepared and the sauce was hearty without dominating the taste. The half chicken was the most memorable dish; our server recommended it, and it's clear why. It was unbelievably juicy and tender, with plenty of lemon flavor in every bite. Lots of meat, don't expect a small plate like the other menu items! All in all a good experience in a nice atmosphere, definitely staying on the list for tapas in the future.

Their menu leans into fusion dishes with a nod to some of the classic home-style classics. Everything is presented with a refined, elevated touch. Here's what we ordered: ~ Tako Wasabi - 5/5 stars A fiery delight. This appetizer feartures chopped raw octopus marinated in wasabi. It has a lively zest from the wasabi and is topped with tobiko, which adds a pleasant contrast in texture. ~ Honey Makgeolli - 4/5 stars A traditional fermented Korean beverage that is light and pairs brilliantly with your meal. It is a cloudy alcholoic drink served in a metal teapot, and surprisingly, there is much more in that teapot than you would expect. It easily provides six to eight generous pours. The flavor is subtly sweet with a pleasant tang. ~ Temaki Set - 4/5 stars You can order a set of three by choosing from selections 1-17, or you can order a la carte at the listed prices. Some of the temaki stood out more than others. Our two sets included marinated salmon, bluefin tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy bluefin, and two dynamite temaki. ~ Spicky Pork Ssam Set - 5/5 stars Truly another standout entree that even surpassed my beloved grilled BBQ bossam. You received a generous basket of assorte greens, including romaine, kale, perilla leaves, dandelion leaves, nappa cabbage, and more. It is well worth the price and makes for a fun, interactive dining experience with your family and friends. There is also various banchan offered and this time, they were beyond kind enough to offer refills. The last time we were here, we ordered just as much food and they stated they normally did not offer refills, which I thought was very odd. With its casual bougie aesthetics, this spot has quickly become one of my favorite eateries in Fort Lee-lee, It beautifully blends Korean, Japanese, and American flavors in a way that feels both comforting and elevated. Needless to say, we will be back!

    What an amazing place. I made a reservation for 9pm and because of the snow, the driving was very…read moreslow. I found a spot 1/2 block and the restaurant called me and I told the hostess I was parking. The was nice they called to double check. I walked over and the place was packed. We waited maybe 6 mins and we're seated in the corner by front window. It was freezing and you can feel some chill everytime the door but it was manageable. We got a lychee martini and a montepulciano wine which were both very good. For appetizers we got the octopus salad, and the hummus. Both were delish and fresh!! For dinner, got the branzino which was amazing and my friend got the seafood pasta. The dinner and the hostess checked on us and I believe the manager; a yall guy who was very friendly. He asked us to return. We originally were going to Avra but I liked what I saw on the menu and I believe it was the best choice!! I certainly plan to return. I told me buddy Wil and he just booked Feb 14 at 930pm!!! I hope they treat him well like they did me!!!

    We popped in for a mid week dinner. We had a reservation but it didn't seem too busy but also not…read morequiet. The restaurant had a fun vibe with wine bottles and art on the walls. We shared a brunch of food, starting with the mezze dips. The chicken skewers were nice and moist and well seasoned. The burger was good but they charge extra for cheese which was a bit odd. The Dubai cheesecake for dessert was great.

    This place is extremely overrated.. definitely not worth the hype. You need a membership to dine…read morehere, and occasionally they open it to the public. The photos and videos that you see on instagram do not match what you see when you arrive. The restaurant itself feels gimmicky and thrown together. Sure, the holograph on the wall was interesting to look at for 30 seconds, but that's about it. Our server, Nicole, didn't seem like she wanted to be there. The drink selection (especially if you're a rum drinker) was limited. The rum cocktail that I settled on was awful. The manager/owner? stopped by our table and greeted my husband, shook his hand but completely ignored me.... Very strange. Not a big deal for us, but if you are not used to paying $10 for water, an included gratuity or an additional "service fee", get used to it while dining here. The reason for the three stars you ask? While the menu is limited, everything we tried tasted good. The macaroni and cheese balls were my favorite and the mussels, although just a few, were tasty. Besides our assigned server Nicole and the manager, the staff at Casa De Lobo that we interacted with seemed generally friendly and happy to serve us. The pizzeria that you enter into had delish slices (we grabbed a few when leaving) and it was a cool "speakeasy entrance". I came, I saw, I won't be back.

    mixed feelings about this place. i think it's a one and done for me, but i still enjoyed my time…read more first off, you need to make reservations and put down $25 on a CC, which you get taken off your bill. but there is an automatic 20% tip and $4 to $5 venue fee (WTF?). great service. sparkeling water is $10. small menu, not many options for veggie eaters. my friend and i split the cauliflower and although they looked weird, we loved these. the mussels in sauce were salty, but the broth were good. i think the amount of mussels is very small compared to the price. it comes with 2 pieces of bread, my fat ass requested more because the broth was pretty good. i didnt have a drink, but my friend loved her tequila drinks. dark decor, plenty of photo apps, big square bar and a lot of intimate tables. they do burlesque shows sat night, reservations highly suggested.
