Unfortunately, the star of the sandwich--the fish--was where it fell short. The Pollock had absolutely no flavor and appeared to have no seasoning at all. It was very disappointing. The atmosphere and presentation were promising, but the sandwich itself missed the mark. With better seasoning and more flavor in the fish, this could have been a much better experience.

Since I was in the neighborhood, it was the perfect chance to finally visit. I figured the Jersey City location would be slightly less crowded than some of the others, which seemed to be true. My party of two arrived around 7:00pm on a Saturday. Even with two small parties ahead of us, we were seated at the window bar within 5 minutes. Since we were planning to share several dishes, I was worried the window bar might be a bit tight, so I asked if we could move to a regular table once one opened up. The staff was accommodating and happy to move us. Here's what we ordered: 1. Guacamole & Chips: A decent, medium-sized portion that offered a nice, refreshing contrast to the more rich, flavorful tacos. While it was very creamy, I personally prefer a bit more texture and depth of flavor. It came with plenty of crispy tortillas, so we had lots of chips left over. 2. Gobernador Taco: Essentially a shrimp and cheese quesadilla and it was delicious! The shrimp was cut into perfect bite-sized pieces, and it tasted as good as it sounds. It's noticeably larger than their other tacos too. Because it's more rich and monotone, sharing one was ideal for me so it didn't feel too heavy, though I think almost everyone would happily enjoy a full one on their own. 3. Grilled Camarones (1 Dozen): Juicy and nicely, lightly seasoned, though quite a hassle to eat. Next time I'd downsize to a half dozen or skip them to try other items. 4. Craken Taco: Super delicious and the highlight for me! I was initially worried the octopus might be chewy or feel strange combined with cheese, but it worked very well. The octopus had a great texture and a mild flavor that paired perfectly with the avocado, cheese, and salsa macha. They use queso chihuahua, which is a very nice white semi-soft cow's milk cheese. I'm sensitive to spicy oil, so I dabbed a bit of the salsa macha off, which made the heat level perfect. I'd either ask for light salsa macha next time or just dab it off again myself to fully control the amount. I'm definitely eager to come back! Next time, I'd love to try the Delicioso taco (shrimp, cheese, and salsa macha), though I'm slightly confused by the photos where the shrimp is completely hidden under the cheese. The tuna tostada also is intriguing; but since I've read it's very spicy, I might have to ask for the salsa macha on the side. I'm also curious to try their aguachiles, ceviches, or ceviche tostadas to share. Even the classic fish taco sounds worth a try as a baseline, though less interesting than other options. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong here unless you overdo the spice!

The atmosphere and waterfront views are undeniably amazing, making it a fun setting for a celebration. The food exceeded expectations--the chips and guac were super fresh and flavorful, and the pizza was surprisingly delicious. Unfortunately, for a place that centers around being a lively bar, the drinks were terrible. Every cocktail we ordered across the group was poorly mixed, overly sweet, and tasted like cheap mixers with barely any quality to them. Given the prices, you expect at least a decent pour. Come for the views and grab a bite to eat, but stick to canned beer or wine--the cocktail program needs a serious overhaul.

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.

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.

At the best part, selection and offerings do not disappoint. A bright and welcoming space, the store is stocked with various prepackaged goods, including unique items, such as black cuttlefish gnocchi.

Stocked with multiple types of salmon, more obscure fish, such as whole snapper, and tons of different types of shellfish. prices are reasonable and in line with what is to be expected. The diamond in the rough in this place is downstairs, where they have a raw seafood bar. You can get anything from West Coast and East Coast oysters, hot or cold lobster rolls, and various dips. Best of all, it's BYOB. So pack your bubbles and head on over to visit Jesus downstairs who will shuck you an experience not to be matched anywhere in Hoboken. Welcome Angelos!

I was waiting patiently for this place to open because the area needs a good fish market. When I…read morearrived I realized that they had both a fish market and a raw bar downstairs to order to stay or to go. I have not tried the raw yet but surely will soon. This fish market is a great addition to the area and I was amazed by the variety of wild caught fresh fish they have. Their selection varies but for the most part I've been pleased. I've had the Dorado, Branzino, Faroe Island Salmon, the cod, and the monkfish. They have even had sardines which are my favorite. Fresh whole sardines are hard to come by. All of the fish that I had tasted good and was very fresh. The staff members are very friendly and are eager to help. They clean your fish and cut it however you like. Definitely a great experience if you're a fish lover like myself. I plan on going back to try their scallops and clams.

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.
