Came in for brunch on a Saturday and Liz was great! She recommended the quesabirria which was fantastic!

Liz the bartender was amazing, she's always paying attention if you're running dry and she's good vibes !

so good! yummy! also the food just was wow so good and delicious and wow what a little view!

I eat here virtually every time I stay at the Marriott. The food is consistent. Have tried pizza, oysters, burger, pasta... they do have fewer pizza options than before. It can get pretty loud, and busy especially on weekends, so I try to get in there early! Staff is friendly. read more

The window of opportunity is limited, but when warmer weather arrives, it means patrons get an urge to be outside, anywhere, at all times -- even if that only means eating a fast-casual lunch. But other moments call for a proper sit-down meal complete with sunset or waterfront views. Perfectly placed on the waterfront with "breathtaking views of NYC" and named after the historic 19th-century estate of New York banking magnate James Gore King, the Highwood is a restaurant, bar, and sports lounge situated at Port Imperial in Weehawken, where my partner and I decided on dinner yesterday. The reservation was easily done via OpenTable. Upon entering as first-timers, we were greeted by the host inside a rustic yet modern wood and metal design with a sophisticated vibe and a unique layout, making it perfect for dinners and watching live sports alike. We were seated on a high bar table in the main room, consisting of a large 10-foot TV wall behind one of the bars. Their crafted menu features a diverse array of dishes, ranging from classic salads, seafood, pizza, and more to balance comfort and creativity. We decided to share the Creamy Spinach which is always a great starter. For our main meal, we opted for the Delmonico and Steak Frites. We washed them down the Jam Slam and Dragon Fruit Spritz. The food was absolutely delicious using fresh ingredients. Every dish was prepared with great flavor and quality. The portions were satisfying, and everything came out well-paced, which added to the overall experience. The staff was fantastic, very friendly, and accommodating, especially our server, Taylor. This establishment remains a sought-after destination for locals and visitors alike. read more

We stopped in for lunch, the weather was so nice so we decided to dine outside. Our waiter was super attentive, and was able to answer our questions with ease. I ordered the salad, but didn't realize it had spinach, which I'm not really a fan of. But it didn't ruin the dish, I added shrimp and a side of fries and it was great. My bf ordered jalapeño poppers, which come in an actual jalapeño so just something to note, and the steak sandwich. I was so hungry I didn't get a pic of my salad but I did take one of my drink, which was super cute and delicious. I'd definitely come back to this spot if I'm in the area! Almost forgot, get the brussel sprouts, you WON'T be disappointed read more

A group of us decided to go to The Highwood to brunch last Saturday for a friend's birthday which also happened to be Kentucky Derby day. For the derby they had a really nice setup down by the bar area which included a rose wall to take pictures in front of. It was my first time here and I can tell you right now it absolutely will not be the last. Taylor was our waitress and she was truly amazing from start to finish. We started off with some cocktails and they were divine. I was able to try quite a few things a steak app, the cauliflower app and the Seafood tower. Every single thing they brought out was so fresh and incredible, every single person at the table couldn't stop talking about how amazing it was wall. We are already planning on visiting again soon! read more

Always good food. Always good drinks. Every server has been excellent. Love coming here for the vibe and energy. Great ambiance.

Came here for my month anniversary with my significant other he had the Lomo saltado and I had the skyline, which is a Wednesday special of sushi. Although I didn't try his lomo saltado, it did look very delicious. The skyline is definitely a great amount of sushi for a great price. I would definitely go back for this. There's two other options you can pick from. Our server Kim was attentive and kind. Great ambience definitely a place you can come and watch sports but also enjoy the water skyline. read more

I had been intrigued by The Highwood from the moment it had opened. While sports bars were not normally my go-to, that one had great reviews, an expansive space, and a stunning view. The other day, my social media feed was full of announcements of the restaurant's 5th anniversary party. The festivities were super hyped up and the promise of complementary passed hors d'œuvres and champagne for the first hour, immediately caught my attention. I made a reservation, and we hopped on the light rail, making it a very quick trip into Weehawken and a 2 minute walk to The Highwood. The energy of the place could be felt from a block away. We walked up to the red carpet and past the bouncer to enter the large bar. The hostess then walked us through the dining room, seating us at a table with a great view of their outdoor patio and the Hudson River just beyond that. Once we were seated, the passed appetizers started to appear in rapid fire, and I appreciated that they brought them to the diners at tables, not just the crowds at their two bars. I sampled the following bites, many of which were snack-sized portions of regular menu items: 1.) Ribeye Anticuchos (skewer of prime ribeye with anticuchera sauce and a single small potato with chimichurri) - Meat was tender and flavorful, but the sauce was very smoky and had an overpowering amount of cumin in it. The potato was enjoyable. 2.) Highwood Ceviche (catch of the day (snapper?), red onions, habanero, sweet potato, corn, cancha, rocoto-tiger milk) - Acidic, but fresh and bright 3.) Beef Sliders (patty with white cheddar cheese, fried onions, on a sweet bun) -Burger meat had a burnt taste, and the bun was dry and crumbly. 4.) Ricotta toast with red grapes (crunchy bread, topped with runny, sweet cheese and sliced, marinated grapes) - Dynamic bite of textures and flavors 5.) Crab Salad Tarts (crab salad in a small pastry crust, topped with fish eggs) - The crust was too delicate and broke easily, and the salad had way too much mayo. Since I had had those few extra tastes, I wanted to get a meal that was not too heavy, so I went with the Sweet & Spicy Poke Bowl. However, for $14, it was much larger than I had anticipated. The bowl started with sushi rice, which was then topped with teriyaki salmon, colossal crab meat, avocado, seaweed salad, cucumber, edamame, crispy onions, and furikake. Every ingredient was fresh and tasty, but the dish was dry. I requested a cup of ponzu sauce, which made the dish much more enjoyable. I paired the food with the One in a Melon cocktail, one of the few mixed drinks included in the $12 happy hour special. The potent blend included a hefty pour of Olmeca Altos Tequila Blanco, mixed with fresh watermelon. The happy hour also included select $5 drafts. In addition, I heard very good reviews about the Hickory Stick Old Fashioned. I also would be remis without mentioning the service, which was stellar! We were continually checked on by our server, other front of the house members, and even the manager, but in a positive way. You could tell the staff really cared about the patrons and were skilled at "touching tables" at the precise intervals to be attentive and not annoying. The vibe was a mix of a sports bar, with televisions covering almost all of the wall space, and night club with trendy dressers and DJ tunes. The drinks were creative, and the food offered something for everyone (burgers to salads to sushi, etc.). The Highwood really offered an uplifting experience that validated their five years of success. read more

Made a reservation at this place for a date night. Upon arrival found out the public parking lot near this place was $40. Upon entering the restaurant I realized it was a sports bar. And the place was packed with soccer fans as Real and Barca were playing Copa Del Rey final. There were TVs everywhere showing the game, really cool place to come with group of friends for game day. We got a table by the bar area. Another guest party was sharing the corner of our table. Just totally awkward!!! Since we were already committed, we ordered drinks and food. The salmon slider, sushi rolls and mussels were ordinary dishes. Branzino was cooked well but all other ingredients it came with in the plate, didn't suit the dish. The bartender who was also attending our table was a friendly person. She tried her best make our dinner better. She also mistakenly gave us the wrong check that we caught after paying. But she quickly refunded the wrong charge and brought us the right check. It wasn't the upscale dining spot that I thought it would be, but to watch a sport event with group of friends, I might consider this place. read more

We went for a date night and it was not how my husband pictured it. It was a sports bar and a soccer game going on. The crowd was rowdy. If I was there for the game, I probably would enjoy more. It was nice of them to sit away from the crowd in a lower section. We had mussel as appetizers, Bronzino, sushi and sliders. Mussels came with pasta(?), not sure why, flavor was not bad. Bronzino itself was good but the sides were confusing. I liked all ingredients by itself but all together was very overwhelming. Sushi 3/5 and sliders 3.5/5 were standard. No wow factor for me. The waitress was nice and friendly but gave us a wrong check. Good thing we checked before paying. Parking in garage at the hotel adjacent to it. There were other events going on. The parking fee was $40. Overall I think we were at the wrong place and the wrong time. Food was 3.5/5. Maybe it will be a better occasion gathering to watch a game in this restaurant than date night. read more

I've been here several times, mainly for happy hour. The sushi is solid, and the burgers and fries are good if you're looking for something simple. Takes a while to get the waiters attention. The atmosphere is nice, and it's a reliable neighborhood spot. While I've returned a few times, it's not somewhere I find myself craving or going out of my way to visit. Worth trying at least once, especially during happy hour. read more

If you're looking for a more upscale version of a sports bar, where you can watch sports on a bunch of large TVs around the bar and eat nachos from the comfort of a leather banquette, plus premium views of the city line, then the Highwood is for you. The menu ticks all the boxes - bar food like burgers and wings while also offering sushi rolls and nigiri and poke bowls (a bit of a side-eye from yours truly at a menu that covers so much ground). Because I'm easily influenced, I ordered the combo that I saw a recent reviewer got - sliders and ceviche. The salmon sliders were pretty good; I loved the combo of pickled onions and dill mayo but I would have picked another kind of bun. The ciabatta bread was a little too much bread for the salmon patty. The ceviche actually tasted quite similar to the amazing ceviche I had in Mexico. There was a good amount of seafood for the price, from some sort of white fish to shrimp to octopus, and I loved the generous amount of corn and corn nuts in it. For the price of a pretty substantial bowl of seafood ($22), I was pleasantly surprised. We came on the earlier side of a Saturday evening and food came out fast. Parking: I booked via SpotHero and had no issues with getting the ticket validated, the trickiest part was finding the parking office between the Envue and Dunkin Donuts. read more

Great view of the city, good food. The service however was pretty bad. After the waitress asked what type of water we wated we wanted it took her around 15 minutes to come back. I ordered a martini and it arrived VERY dirty, not what I wanted. Too bad, it seemed like a pretty cool spot. read more

This place has amazing TVs and two bars that look awesome. I came in expecting a great meal to match the atmosphere. Then the food happened. The waitress convinced me the steak fries were "the way to go." If bland had a mascot, those fries would be it. They were so flavorless I honestly wondered if seasoning was against company policy. To her credit, she took them back and recommended the Lomo Saltado. What... did... you just serve me? One bite. That's all I could do. I've had better meals from a gas station microwave. If you're coming here to watch the game and have a drink, you'll probably have a good time. If you're coming for the food, lower your expectations... way lower. I'd only recommend eating here if you are homeless and haven't eaten for a week and this is the first food you've seen. read more

Great views! And they just redid their outdoor area it's perfect for watching the game or any sporting event! The food was great and the service is awesome. Shoutout to ANGEL for the amazing service!! Some of my favorites from the menu: * Truffle Burrata & Grilled Peaches - Maplebrook farm burrata, grilled peaches, elderflower vinaigrette, sesame seeds, red radishes, basil oil, grilled sourdough bread * Highwood Ceviche - Catch of the day, red onions, habanero, sweet potato, corn, cancha, rocoto-tiger milk * Ocean Sushi Roll - Spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, scallions, torched salmon, eel sauce, spicy mayo * Lomo Saltado - Wok stir-fried beef tenderloin, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, red vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, native potatoes, chaufa rice * Delmonico - USDA prime Delmonico steak, garlic-herb compound butter, pommes aligot, crispy young beans, barolo sauce * Rigatoni Alla Vodka with Burrata - Spicy creamy pink sauce, rigatoni pasta, 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano, garlic bread crumbs, basil * Brussel 'n Cream - Blanched brussels, applewood smoked bacon, garlic, onions, nutmeg, chives read more

We had made a reservation for a 2 for a high top. They had 4 high top tables with a view and the rest were near the bar/ entry way. I asked if we could sit outside. I found that the outside tables were nicer it was also a nice day out! The host was so pleasant and sat my friend and I outside no problem! We made a reservations for 7 pm on a Tuesday night. Around 8 pm it started to get busy. Our waiter was great as well and not only our waiter but every staff member that walked by was willing to help us with anything. It seemed the staff had each others backs when waiting on tables. That's extremely nice! The food was great too. My friend said her Filet mignon was burnt. She said that usually happens when you ask for well done but it was still alright. The red sangria was delicious. GET THE CALAMARI. GET THE BURRATA. Parking was easy. We parked in the Marriot residence parking garage and it was only $10 each when we went to pay. After we walked along the water and the views were incredible. There's nothing like it. I would recommend this place but I wouldn't be in a rush to go. Def worth a try!! Actually we will be back for brunch because it seems that's their prime thing from reviews and advertisement. read more

We come here every now and then when we're passing by the ferry station and overall enjoyed each visit. This past time we came here for dinner without a reservation and were seated right away.

For our second dish, we had nachos this time and it was pretty good too. My favorite part of Highwood is the energy. It's always lively especially in the evenings and the overall ambiance is enjoyable - great place to come after work or something to relax and have a good time. read more

I've been here a few times for drinks and brunch. Nice wine and cocktail list, so many screens for all of your sports favorites. The bloody mary was a little bit disappointing, and they were out of the entree I picked for brunch. My back up choice of Eggs benedict was pretty tasty though. What was so incredibly frustrating was the parking situation. While there is a parking garage nearby, the parking for the particular Sunday I went was $40!!!!...it didn't matter if you were only dining at the restaurant for two hours. There has to be a better way for restaurant patrons to park and dine at this place...can't the restaurant provide parking validation? I will think twice before coming back here again. read more

This place seems to have an identity crisis - is it a disco as the over whelming music suggests? Is it a sports bar where patrons slam beers while shouting at their favorite game on one of the many giant tv screens? Or is it a restaurant for a nice family outing? The problem is... it tries to be all 3. We started with the owner trying to seat us at a high top table that basically was halfway in a major aisle. He seemed perturbed when we asked for a different table. Fortunately a young girl framed the menus and brought us to a much nicer table. She was bubbly, friendly and full of enthusiasm. We chose this spot for dinner because of its proximity to our hotel but had there been other options... The music was so loud my wife couldn't hear me without my shouting. Nether could our waitress. She told us it's always this loud and they struggle to hear customers. The food was good although prices were a bit high. Waited was attentive. Half way through our meal, it suddenly got quiet. Very weird. read more

This is my go-to spot & the one place I always recommend to people whenever they're near the Weehawken area. They always add new items on their menu and everything I ever tried has been delicious. Nothing about this place disappointments me, well, besides some of their cocktails. The mixed drinks are not the best. They definitely need a better bartender/ mixologists because there's been a few times I had to return cocktails for tasting gross. Aside from that, this place is really nice. It's close to the ferry, so you can grab dinner at Highwood and then head into the city right after. Even though I rave a lot of positivity about this place, I will suggest to make sure you keep a copy of your receipt. I have had 2 instances where I was overcharged $100 on tip. They need to fire whoever their servers are that are changing the tip amount. I had once tipped only $15, but when I checked my bank summary, I was charged $150 for the tip. That's really not cool and I had to call several times to get the situation fixed. That's so shady and honestly, writing this and remembering those moments is absolute triggering. Make sure you get Jenna as your server or bartender. She's the best one there. Hopefully she still works there. read more

Overall , it's a nice place with a lot of TVs but don't plan on getting a seat without a reservation on a busy game day. . I came by after talking to a manager the night before who gave me a special invite card . I show up on Sunday for the games and was told my card meant nothing and the guy who invited me works at night . Even worse, I was told there was a private party , so nothing was available for me despite the outside was clearly wide open . Unfortunately it's not a covered patio as you would think it would be as the biggest TV in the place is outside! Makes no sense. The layout is not managed well and they're not very friendly to strangers. Gave me attitude as well . Food is average. Too bad . I can't recommend it. read more
