    Good drinks and atmosphere, and the food was tasty but so small and overpriced. Don't expect to have a fulfilling dinner here, definitely better for just drinks

    The place was packed on a Friday night. Had to wait 15 minutes for a table to be ready with reservations. But the hosts were very nice. Service was excellent, food was great, the atmosphere was cozy, warm and relaxed.

    Some of the best cocktails in Jersey City, music/crowd are loud so service and detailed convos take a back seat.
