    I've written about Blue Eyes before and couldn't pass up the chance to do it again. if you haven't been here in a while, you should definitely make your way to Sinatra Drive. Between the happy hour, the karaoke nights, and the new decor and menu, it's a brand new place. The food remains outstanding, authentic and delicious. I only took two pictures today next time I'll photograph everything!

    Blue Eyes quickly became one of our favorite dining experiences during our trip to Hoboken. The staff is incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. My fiancé and I chose to dine here for lunch after it was recommended by our Airbnb hosts, and we're so glad we did. Since we had a full day of exploring ahead, we decided to eat something light and started with the insalata di mare--and wow, it was AMAZING. So fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Coming from Texas, we wanted to try something we don't normally eat, and this dish did not disappoint. After spending the afternoon walking along the waterfront and exploring Washington Street, we were deciding where to go for dinner and knew immediately that we had to come back to Blue Eyes. This time we sat at the bar and were waited on by Stefany, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had great conversation with her and the owner, who is such a kind and genuine man. He shared his background, his personal favorites from the menu, and even recommended other great food spots in the area--such a thoughtful touch. For dinner, we ordered the petto di pollo parmigiana, and it was truly to die for. From the perfectly breaded chicken to the rich red sauce on the pasta, it was a solid 10/10. We will be recommending Blue Eyes to anyone we meet who's coming to New Jersey. It will definitely be missed when we head back home to Houston--but that just gives us another reason to plan a return trip!

    I ordered the Salmon. It was fine, but nothing special. My companions ordered lasagna and pasta/shrimp. Again, it was all just "ok." Pros: 1) Great view right on the Hudson River overlooking the NYC skyline 2) Super convenient if visiting Stevens Institute of Technology 3) Delicious tiramisu for dessert 4) Service was ok -- fast delivery of food. They seemed a little overwhelmed because of a private party going on. Cons: 1) Food (except for tiramisu) was just "ok." 2) Food, for that price, should be better than "ok." 3) My tiny espresso cup was half-empty for $3.

    (Dined 07/08/2023 SA @ 6:00pm): I'm sure "Ol' Blues Eyes" would've appreciated this restaurant in his hometown with a view of New York City right across the Hudson River! On my last visit, a dear friend and I vowed to return to Blue Eyes Restaurant for a meal due to our love for Frank Sinatra. A modern Italian eatery located in a relaxing waterfront park along the Hudson River, this was a wonderful place for people-watching while you wasted the day away. As we kicked back and caught up with each other, did we swoon over Blue Eyes' cuisine!? PURCHASE Bread (COMP): Large slices served with homemade marinara sauce, this was a lovely way to start the meal. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=mIF7_ZokZ6aNPiH1yCppuA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw 2020 Gavi di Gavi Villa Sparina Piemonte White Wine 4floz Glass ($14.00): Crisp and refreshing with notes of lemongrass and tropical fruits. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1zEiXFDoBveJIWAzWZ1HKQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw 2020 Rosé Cote de Provence Jacourette Red Wine 4floz Glass ($13.00): Dry and light, easy drinking with notes of raspberry. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=iL-ClzyIhqKnr32PYljcwQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Polpetta di Granchio Maryland Style Crab Cake ($21.00): Served on a bed of spring mix and chipotle aioli, this was a meaty mound of breaded crab that was quickly devoured. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ciWxwo6N3VYuSSluotZIGw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Spignola Nera Cajun Style Black Bass ($36.00): Served on a bed of arugula salad with roasted potatoes topped with mango salsa, the bass had a nice subtle crunchy outside and a moist inside but wished it was a bigger piece of fish. The potatoes were lovely but seemed like an afterthought. And, I loved the mango salsa and wanted more. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=sekzHpQjuoKfbw_z1BDceQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Petto di Pollo alla Parmigiana ($26.00): Large breaded chicken cutlet topped with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce served with penne pasta, the chicken was moist and tender while the pasta was perfectly prepared. The bread paired well to scrape any remaining sauce. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=fNoVUrU8pxZYff-Sm4uIVg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Hazelnut Truffle Ice Cream ($8.00): A small scoop not nearly enough to share, it was good but disappointing. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=P6I0aQLaZjTCWWzqOdPRAA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw SERVICE We were eventually greeted by a young man once we walked up to the outdoor seating area. We easily grabbed one of several open tables and each handed a menu. We were quick to order drinks which came out minutes later, but we took forever to decide on what to eat which I'm sure annoyed our server. We finally placed our food order, got some water for the "lil' black beast", and slowly each dish arrived. As it got busier, the service suffered as it took awhile to get our empties cleared away and then get the check. Thankfully, it was a chillaxing time. PARKING (Street Only; N/A this instance) We walked from my friend's relatively nearby place. Otherwise, as was the case for much of Hoboken, there were limited spots along the main drag of Frank Sinatra Dr. and all surrounding streets unless you were lucky enough to find an empty spot, or you took public transportation which stopped nearby - nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Although there was a sizable brick & mortar with inside dining, we opted for the beauty of the outdoor patio https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-5lOa5bxo5zWzKDNQUvLKQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw which had plenty of tables and views all around. I mean... you had views of the New York City skyline and a Frank Sinatra bronze statue! As you'd imagine, there was plenty of natural lighting since we were outdoors while minimal electric and street lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs nor any background music (should've had some Sinatra at least). https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=aqpaHnqS0xgsHbPloWpCXw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL We probably enjoyed the surrounding atmosphere of Blue Eyes Restaurant more than the restaurant itself. Thankfully, they allowed our furry family member outside (he loved to be with his hoomans!), and the menu was extensive enough albeit I preferred less modern and more authentic dishes. I felt the prices were on the elevated side, the portions good, and the service too casual without immediacy. I found fairly good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $159.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 3.5 STARS

    Great food, service, and view! Went here for my anniversary and it did not disappoint. The servers were very attentive, the food was delicious, and the view of the pier was gorgeous.

    Incredible pizza & pasta, incredible view. Great spot to enjoy an evening in Hoboken. Minutes from the light rail / path/ right along the water.

    The view, the service, and the food was incredible! You have direct view of the skyline and are right by the water from almost anywhere that you sit in the restaurant. The owner is very Italian as is many of the servers who all make you feel so welcome and cared for. As for the pizzas - chefs kiss - loved it! It's simple, clean, and good. They have a brick oven where the pizzas come out nice and hot. We ordered Margarita and capricciosa. I'd order the capricciosa - it comes with two types of meat, mushrooms, olives, and artichokes - so good. The appetizers of frittura and burrata con prosciutto could have been done without - it wasn't mind-blowing and quantity was average, but taste still was good as expected. The pasta was average. Drinks are really good, I ordered a blue eyes - mango nectar with Prosecco.

    I have lived in Hoboken for many years and have not been here due to me not hearing fantastic things about it. I finally decided to take my family there yesterday and it lived up to its reputation - you go for the view and not the food. The service was not the best - we had about 3-4 different waiters/waitresses throughout the course of the meal and it came off very disorganized. The bread was not the best (this is Hoboken, there is no excuse to not have great bread at any Italian restaurant). As for drinks, they only serve wine and beer, and their selection is quite small. For an entree I had the chicken parm, which was cooked with absolutely no love. You can tell the cutlet is deep fried and not pan fried in olive oil. The sauce was very odd, it was a pink sauce and in my opinion I believe chicken parm is best served with marinara sauce. The "side" of pasta it came with was about 20 penne noodles. For the price you pay, you should absolutely be getting more food. After all was said and done, I now know I have not missed out on anything special by waiting this long to check out Blue Eyes and will not be returning.

    Is this byob?

    No they had a full bar.

    Is it possible to make a reservation for a party of 10?

    Hi! Yes, please call the restaurant!

    How is the parking situation -- is there a parking garage?

    street parking, which can be a pain especially on weekends.

    Is there usually a wait for outdoor seating on a Friday night around 7:30?

    I don't know for sure, but my guess would be that there would be a wait for outdoor seating at 7:30, especially on a Friday. The view is wonderful and if the weather is pleasant, Sinatra Park area is very popular with the locals.

    Bwè Kafe has saved my family one too many times when we needed to find a really quick and easy…read morecoffee shop for some caffeine. What I loved about this particular location was that it was just around the corner from our Airbnb on Willow Street, and they have a variety of non-dairy options, including almond, oat, macadamia, and pistachio milks. We usually ordered just coffees in the morning. I was hoping to make this our staple breakfast joint during our stay in Hoboken, though the kitchen is closed on Mondays + open Tuesday-Sunday at 8 AM. We DID try out their food one day when we arrived around 8:30 AM. I ordered the smoked salmon toast, which came with mixed greens, egg salad, and a hefty portion of smoked salmon on top of freshly baked white bread. I thought the food tasted great, and I was happy to have had leftovers for breakfast the next day. I appreciate the convenience that Bwè Kafe brought us when we stayed in Hoboken. I would happily recommend them to others.

    Ordered: Blueberry Iced Latte (~$6)…read moreLavender Iced Latte (~$6) Aya's take: This location of Bwè Kafe is more charming & cozy compared to their other location on Adams St. We decided to try the Blueberry Iced Latte and Lavender Iced Latte. They have these as specials with cold brew but we decided to get it with espresso. Both drinks didn't quite hit the same this time. The lavender and blueberry flavors were both good, added some sweetness, and fruity/floral elements but for some reason, the latte didn't feel as cohesive. The staff were very friendly and offered to remake it if I didn't like it. I think the syrup wasn't strong enough or could've been better layered with the milk & espresso. Decent try!

We were greeted warmly by whom I assume is the owner. Since I love pistachio, it was a no brainer for me. As one of my companions is trying to decide, I mumbled under my breath..."the Rose latte is really beautiful." He sighs and says to the barista...okay, I'll have the Rose latte, I'll let her have her picture. I tell the barista that I want it in one of those pretty cup and saucers. I was giddy as a little girl when I got the lattes. Soooo eye-pleasingly beautiful. Most of the Rose latte pics on Yelp has the leaf in white, mine was PINK. I am not a fan of any drinks that taste like a rose. Curious I did take a sip and I was wowed. The rose flavor was very subtle in a wonderful way with the perfect balance of the coffee. I loved my pistachio but decided to switch the rose latte with my companion. It was the best rose lattes I have ever had. They also have homemade treats. Their pistachio baklava is PERFECTION, not too overly sweet. I could eat a dozen of these in one sitting. Limited indoor seating with only 2 tables outside.
