    Food was decent. We were visiting in Jersey for an expo and craving Italian food, didn't really live up to the best Italian food but was decent enough. Not sure I would recommend but if you're in the area and hungry, it would get the job done. The soup lacked ALOT of flavor. The penne ala vodka was good. The fettuccinie frutii di mare was okay, could've used more flavor and sauce.

    Came here for a team dinner since the reviews were pretty good. Ended up disappointing. Took forever for our food. The service was decent. The food is mediocre. If we waited that long we were hoping it would have been worth the wait. But it was not.

    We came here as a group for a pre-birthday celebration. The owner and staff were very gracious and made us feel at home. Yubi has a quaint vibe and is tastefully decorated. The owner/chef has an extensive culinary background, having worked at some top NYC restaurants. We had a variety of appetizers- all delicious. I would definitely return for dinner. This is a true gem in the heart of JC.

    Love, love, love this spot!! We hope this restaurant stays in business for years to come -- they have the perfect selection of appetizers and entrees and it's a cute little place you'd never expect to pop up on the block with so many places closing We had the meatballs and calamari appetizers and they were delish! The right serving sizes and the sauce is really good! Not too sweet or tart. Everything tastes really fresh! They had a special lobster ravioli which I recommend - it's not an overwhelming fishy flavor and they served it in a mild white sauce that was really comforting. The wait staff is really great - attentive and always replenishes your drinks and accommodates your needs and your party. I would only want this eatery to get a liquor license so they can serve drinks - so it's BYOB but sometimes you don't want to walk around with booze on you just to go out to dinner lol Totally recommend bringing the family here and a pack of friends. You won't be disappointed!

    My partner and I walked past this place on my usual route and realized a new restaurant had opened up on Newark Ave! At first impression, the interior was very cozy and comfortable. It's dimly lit but not too dark, and there are screens with fireplace images replaying throughout the restaurant. Every table has a small candle so it's a nice place for date night and a candle lit dinner. Service was great, and the servers were very attentive. We were given a choice of red or white wine as complimentary drinks for opening week- they also gave us refills! Garlic bread with marinara dip was also served complimentary at the start of the meal. We ordered calamari as an appetizer which was crunchy and good without too much batter. I just wish it were a tad bit hotter when it came out, but I could just be nit picking. We then got the seafood pasta and the carbonara. Flavor was very good, but the pasta was not al dente and seemed a bit too soft for my usual liking. If they fixed that, it would taste a lot better! Portions are not on the big side, but the carbonara is pretty heavy on the cream so it'll fill you up quick. Overall, I had a good experience here and I'd come again. This was only opening week, so I have high hopes for how they'll improve in the near future. I'm excited to have a cute and nice Italian dine in restaurant in this area now, and happy to support!

    I came here with a friend for her birthday. It was great we had a wonderful time. The staff here is amazing ready to cater to all your needs. Before you even need anything they are coming to check on you, clearing the table before the next part of the meal. It was wonderful service from the whole team. The food was amazing. It was honestly great pasta the grilled chicken on the salad was great. Everything was made to perfection. It's a small intimate BYOB place. I would recommend for a girls night or a date night. I would say it's better for smaller groups 4 or less and great for couples. I will definitely be back.

    Great Italian food for a good price. The staff here is so friendly and welcoming. Sandwiches are $10 and come with fries. Pasta dishes range from $12-18. Absolutely worth it. Also byob. Highly recommend!

He enjoyed explaining the various menu selections and details of some special drinks. The cocktails were wonderful and our food was beautifully plated, hot and cooked perfectly. We had the Caesar salad, a chicken and a pork entree. The lemon cake and the raspberry sorbet with a nice pairing of chocolate were both luscious. Justin, the owner, came by our table and we really enjoyed learning about The Roxy, which is a fairly new restaurant ( less than 2 years old). Justin comes up with all kinds of new cocktail creations and entree ideas, so the menu is interesting. The design of the restaurant is fresh and new, but also comfortable. They took our coats as soon as we entered the door practically. Go try "The Roxy". Our family highly recommends and we will visit The Roxy again soon. Great developing location, nice safe area that has so many new apartments and shops being established. Near Liberty State Park and not very far from Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. Enjoy great food without big crowds

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! (:

And as a bonus, it has not yet been "discovered" by the Yelp Elite / food influencer crowd (besides yours truly). The Alexandrian Style Shrimp was huge and delicious, but the Grilled Branzino (and really, any whole grilled fish) is the big, belting diva of the menu and one you should not miss. Whole, ground spices are packed into every bite care of lovely marinade, and your teeth will rejoice at how tender the meat is. Entrees all come with generous, complimentary portions of salad, tahini and pita, as well as lots of fluffy rice, so you can't walk away hungry. The prices are on the higher side, sadly--it seems nowhere is immune to inflation these days--but at least you'll get a ton of bang for your buck.

    A Little Unassuming Gem for Alexandrian Food in JC…read more I found this place on a Eater Jersey City list and wasn't expecting much but the food was surprisingly delicious. The space is small, about 8 tables, with dated, seventies decor, complete with plastic on the tables. Only one woman in the kitchen. We had the grilled Orata, which came with rice, salad, babaganoush and tahini sauce, side of eggplants with peppers in tomato sauce and the Alexandria style shrimp. Everything was fresh, the fish grilled to perfection and the shrimp well-seasoned. There is also a sandwich menu, but it was not available that day. This place as all of the elements I love in small businesses; no pretention, no gimmicks and no "fusion"...just authentic, simple, home made food, from kitchen straight to my stomach with no orchestra and fireworks. My only gripe is that the prices are high but given that food costs have risen so quickly in the last few years, I completely understand.

On the happy hour, we started with the oysters - they were good, enjoyed them we got a second round. We got 3 apps for under $30. The crab cake was okay we thought we would get more than one (3 of us). We got the eggplant, we absolutely loved that! Lastly, the calamari was great. I love the type of breading they do for them. We wanted to try more food but we ran out of time. I would come back to try more. We mainly did the happy hour menu and they have great prices! Really cute place. .

We didn't have a reservation, and walked in. Luckily we were able to grab a table. But the issue was that it was extremely hot and humid inside. it was like their AC was broken or simply wasn't turned on. The service was also pretty bad, the waiters forgot orders and or took a while to stop by our table. The biggest reason i gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars is the price of food, vs the quality and or quantity.... again, i didn't pay, but i ended up getting a lobster roll with some chips for $35 bucks, and the lobster roll was severely lacking. It was small, and i didn't get a lot of lobster meat on the roll. If i had to pay for it, i'd be pissed. i will have to say, the views are nice, if you are able to sit outside.
