Your family's first time to mindlessly wander all around Hoboken on a Sunday afternoon (your kids…read moreabsolutely sick of hearing their dad - me! - boring them with endless tales of "back in the day..." from when I was their age and up to no good in this wee little town) and now we were on the hunt for a place to eat. The Brass Rail won out (sorry, Jersey Mike's that we passed on a random side street!) and it was spectacular. Very classy - dark décor, cool lighting, interesting and engaging artwork. A great varied menu (the beer-and-wine list looked impressive, the food options were all over the place - in a good way). The waiter (an aspiring model/actor/bouncer, for sure!) was top-notch. The complimentary focaccia starter - delicious. When our meals arrived even my kids (teens are never impressed) said they were worthy of being photographed. (And they tasted even better.) One kid went with the pork chop and the way he devoured the Brussel sprout-bacon-apple side I think he forgot that he doesn't even like green vegetables. His brother dug the sliders but wasn't blown away (and if we're nitpicking... my clam-pasta dish could've used a wee bit less lemon juice, but maybe that's just me). Cool staff. Pricing wasn't as outrageous as we feared. It was a total fluke that we found a (free) parking spot when/where we did, don't think we'll ever be that lucky again or we'd definitely come back here again.

The cornbread is just $6 and is so warm and soft. It is topped with cheese and a honey butter. Amazing flavor. Just one was not enough, but in the name of variety we also ordered the cellar fries. These are really good fries. They are thin crispy wedges with a cheese sauce and bacon. Decadent stuff. We were loving the food. For drinks, the painkiller is a tiki classic, and theirs is quite good. I went with the race to the heavens, an old fashioned riff with cinnamon flavors. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Boozy but still a nice hint of sweetness. A good choice if you like simple drinks on the rocks.

The food was delicious, and the drinks were generously sized and well worth it. For two people with drinks, the pricing was actually pretty reasonable for the quality and portions you get. Bill came out to $100. I prefer the Waygu bun burgers, the pitcher of rum, my friend got the wings and edamame. One thing to keep in mind: if you go during peak hours, expect a bit of a wait since it gets pretty packed. I'd recommend going during a less busy time if you want to avoid that. Overall, easy 5/5 for me. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

The bartender was very sweet and apologetic. The mozzarella sticks were delicious, and they actually give you a great amount of sauce for them! The wings, I wish they were crispy and spicier, but the chicken was good quality and juicy. Service: It's definitely a bar spot with its regulars, so I felt they were focused on catching up on life and photos rather than any new patrons. As someone who spent a lot of time in nightlife & in customer service, i definitely get it-- but raising my hand to order and being walked by multiple times gets a little frustrating; especially when you're kind of feeling rushed with a specific menu and a time frame. Ambiance: They had tvs with things one, there weren't captions on all of them, but they had music going. The music wasn't super loud, so it's a great spot to come catch up with people or even have a date, then walk along the water. 4.5/5, I'd most certainly go again and again! I hope they have oysters next time, because before they were delicious

I saw a billboard highway ad for Americano while driving home from work and didn't realize it was nearby, so decided to give it a try. Street parking was available. I'll preface this by saying I came on a weekday around 5 PM after work, so it wasn't particularly busy when I entered there were like 2 people dining inside tops. There didn't seem to be a dedicated host or hostess at the entrance, but a staff member eventually led me to the bar area and took my order. They didn't seem too enthusiastic but maybe it was a long day, who knows.. I ordered a salad, seafood, alcoholic drink, and dessert; I was a little surprised that the salmon didn't come with any sides. When I asked, I was told that sides had to be ordered separately. So I had to wait for my mashed potatoes to come in and by then my seafood had cooled off. That's fine, but I would've appreciated a heads-up when ordering rather than finding out once the entree arrived. The ambiance is very nice. I really liked the classic movie-star decor, the music fit the setting well, and I appreciated that the staff were appropriately dressed for the atmosphere. I'm a James Bond fan so it was nice seeing Sean Connery and Daniel Craig up on the wall. Those details gave the restaurant a polished feel for sure. The pricing, however, felt high for what you get, particularly for Bayonne... it was closer to what I'd expect to pay in Manhattan. I was also surprised by the automatic 20% gratuity that caught me blindsided. On top of that, the receipt still gives you the option to leave an "additional tip," which could easily lead someone who doesn't notice the automatic gratuity to tip twice. So I actually tipped twice unknowingly lol. I think the 20% charge should be made very clear to guests when the check is presented.. Overall, I would still recommend Americano, but I'd caution others to expect a relatively expensive dining experience for what it's worth. One final small detail.. I would've appreciated a simple "thank you" or "goodbye" on the way out. The staff seemed preoccupied, so I didn't make much of it, but at around $150 per person (see my receipt) you'd naturally expect the service to match the premium pricing. I'm also comparing this to local premium fine dining areas in the NJ area like Felina Restaurant, The Feathered Fox, The Maddy Rose, 87 Sussex, Sofia's Fine Italian Cuisine, etc, so as you can see there's a lot of competition that offers similar value, and I'd say what separates each are vibes and customer service since that's what you're paying extra for. It's the little details that count. Again, it's got great atmosphere, great potential, and it's a promising restaurant, but the service and value could be a little more polished for the price point.

The atmosphere was exactly what I wanted: relaxed, low-key, and welcoming. I sat at the bar and was lucky enough to meet a fantastic bartender. Super friendly, gave honest recommendations, and really added to the experience. I got there around 9-ish and my food came out fast--boom. Even though it wasn't crowded, the vibe was still great. Chill, comfortable, and no rush. Food-wise: The clams were tasty, though I'm usually more of a mussels person. The garlic wine sauce was flavorful and paired nicely. The stuffed snapper? Beautifully done. Well-seasoned, tender, and the seafood stuffing was a great touch. Definitely the standout. By the end, I was happily stuffed. Excellent service, great food, and a relaxed environment--I'll definitely be coming back

We visited Joia solely based on its proximity to the Red Bulls game…read more Parking: Due to the game, I can't speak to how street parking would be. We parked in a parking deck a few blocks away. Service: I made a reservation but didn't end up needing it for 6pm before the 7:30pm game (Wednesday). We were seated right away and that same host took our drink order. A waiter came to take our food order soon after. Our waiter noticed the sun was in our eyes so he pulled the window shade down for us. Both staff members were kind. Drinks: My husband originally wanted a Blue Moon draft but then was told there were no draft drinks available. He opted for a Peroni. I got the white sangria and was not impressed at all. It was basically orange juice with alcohol. Really disappointing. Food: Not the most extensive menu. Since we didn't want any leftovers being we were headed into the game, we both opted for the cheeseburger cooked medium which came with fries. I think the patty was a bit overdone and my cheese was not well melted and still held its shape quite well. Flavors were fine but not $17 worth. They only gave us half full little plastic containers of ketchup which was not enough to put on both my burger and fries. The waiter never came back around for me to ask for more unfortunately. Of note, there is a 4% credit card service charge so I would recommend bringing cash. Overall, it was okay and again, I appreciated its proximity to the stadium. The staff was nice enough but food and drinks were nothing special.
