I definitely recommend having a reservation as they were pretty busy on a Sunday morning. The Cappuccino was well-made, soothing, and gave me a much-needed caffeine kick. We got one sweet & one savory dish because that's the best way to brunch! The Steak & Eggs was surprisingly good! The hanger steak was juicy, tender, and well-seasoned. I had asked for the eggs to be soft scrambled and I felt like they were a touch overcooked but still enjoyable and paired well with the steak. The brunch potatoes could've been way crispier but I did enjoy the peppers & onions mixed it. The French Toast was fantastic. The coconut butter was a nice addition and it was the right sweetness level overall. Good try for brunch!

Their Frozen Baked Apple Marg has a great apple aftertaste (beware though, this thing was strong!). The crispy rice with spicy tuna was easily the favorite item on the menu. The sweet and sour chicken, and the meatball are also great appetizers options to split with a group. I got the shrimp and avocado salad which had a good portion of shrimp. It was light and refreshing to eat. The favorited dish of the night definitely had to be the short rib fried rice, everyone was picking on it at the table. The smashburger and steak sandwich are dishes you can't go wrong with either. Finally, good old fried oreos to end the night. They were delicious, yet airy to consume, which was a nice alternative versus being super doughy and greasy. Overall, delicious cocktails and food, beautiful decorum, and super friendly staff. Would most definitely return.

Chaotic mess in a way as this place was packed when we got there around 10PM. We made it all work out by congregating in a corner of the bar area. I really loved their Espresso Martini ($17) so much that this was the only drink I ordered for the entire duration of the night I was here. Must have ordered 3-5 of these. I also don't have a clue how the bartender heard my order as this place was loud. Must have been great at reading lips.

The menu we had was specific to the tasting even but all made by the same everyday chef. The first course was white asparagus with a hollandaise sauce and that was so tender and delicious but light enough that I wasn't full at all. The second course was halibut with risotto and crab and there was so much meatiness. It was my favorite place and the flavors went so well together. Next was grilled oysters and I've never liked oysters but these were amazing! The bacon and breadcrumbs that had a slight lemon flavor went so well with the oysters. Next was lamb loin with stewed white beans and carrots. The lamb was medium rare, I could have skipped the beans but that's me. Dessert was a strawberry Terrine which was full of fresh and authentic strawberry flavor. I would come back and try their normal menu and also do a tasting again as it was delicious and reasonably priced.

There was only one other family dining, and the space stayed empty the entire time. The service was genuinely great. Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and a really cute, cozy space. I especially loved the Christmas décor and overall vibe--it felt warm and inviting. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the prices. The house salad was $13 and honestly one of the most basic, smallest, and most boring salads I've ever had--very underwhelming for the cost. We also ordered quesadillas, a cheeseburger with fries, and grilled cheese with tomato soup. My son enjoyed the burger and fries, and the quesadillas were flavorful, generously filled with chicken and veggies, and came with sour cream, pico, and guac. The tomato soup was tasty, while the grilled cheese was just okay. One small but appreciated detail: canned soda. Cold, crisp, and not flat which is always a win. Lunch for 3 came in just under $100, which felt high given what we received. One frustration was being seated in a tight corner right next to the kitchen even though the dining room was completely empty. We were so close I could literally see into the kitchen and count items on the shelves. On top of that, the hostess repeatedly walked by calling out "corner," which became distracting and honestly a bit irritating. Overall, I liked the vibe, but the food-to-price ratio missed the mark for me. It wasn't bad--just alright.

Execution: The hot oil shrimp delivered a strong balance of…read moreheat and acidity, with toasted bread to absorb and carry the sauce. The hanger steak was cooked with precision. The organic chicken was executed cleanly, retaining moisture and natural flavor without drying out, which speaks to disciplined temperature control. The meal closed with a bread pudding that was rich and elevated by a caramel sauce that complemented rather than overwhelmed the dish. Flow: Service followed a structured and intentional cadence. Guests were asked to place the full order upfront, allowing the kitchen to control pacing. This resulted in smooth ticket firing and appropriate spacing between dishes, creating intervals to enjoy drinks without feeling rushed or delayed. Hospitality: Service was attentive and organized. The waiter demonstrated strong command of timing and communication, ensuring that each course arrived with purpose. Kitchen communication was clearly visible. Structure: The menu offers a range of composed plates that support both individual dining and shared experiences. A balance between seafood, meats, and desserts. Final Standard: An operation where kitchen communication, controlled execution, and structured service flow come together effectively. Antique Bar & Bakery delivers a composed dining experience with strong attention to timing, flavor balance, and guest pacing.

I've waited a long time to write this review to give antique bar and bakery a fair chance but…read moreunfortunately, they have missed the mark on several occasions. My first visit was for my birthday a few years ago where we ordered a steak dish that was so incredibly fatty that it was inedible. We told our server and they offered to bring us out another, which was also still SO fatty. The experience left a bitter taste in our mouths but we were comped the steak and offered a $100 gift card to use on a future visit. We were in no rush to return and it took almost a year for us to visit again. On this visit I don't recall anything being bad but nothing stood out. Our third and fourth visits ended up being yesterday (Valentine's Day) for last minute brunch and dinner reservations. We were appreciative that they were able to squeeze us in last minute. We weren't too keen on a pre fixe menu, but everywhere appears to have a set menu on the holiday. I ordered the shakshuka which lacked depth of flavor and was very disappointing. Probably the worst shakshuka I've ever had unfortunately. The salad and bread that came with it were both good. My husband ordered the steak sandwich (the other 2 entrees he wanted to try were both sold out). The sandwich was very flavorful but needed to be served on a crustier bread. The skillet pancake had good flavor but was so incredibly dense and could've used more bananas. Valentine's dinner was the straw that broke the camel's back. Out of everything that was offered, the only dish worth mentioning was the lobster pasta. It was spicy, pasta cooked al dente, and a fair amount of lobster chunks. We received our salad promptly but our pasta second course came out before the seafood starter course. We brought it to our server's attention and it still took a long time to receive it. Then we had another long wait for our main course. The steak was okay, mashed potatoes were good, but the peppercorn sauce absolutely ruined the meal. There were too many peppercorns in every bite. Also the Nutella flan they offered for dessert was a far cry from a flan. It wasn't good. I would've preferred their regular desserts as an offering. Service was very lackluster. Overall, I'm very disappointed. I really wanted to love antique given that it has been voted best restaurant in Hoboken, but the service and food are both subpar.
