The…read moreaesthetics of The Roxy is warm, welcoming, modern, and provided a comfortable dining experience for diners both at the bar and at the table. 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! (:

It definitely started getting pretty packed throughout the night.

My order was entirely different than last time and I think I got the perfect spread, if I do say so myself. We started with the Mixto Aguachiles Verde. It's a large portion great for sharing, with a generous amount of seafood, and super bright and moderately spicy. It's quite refreshing and such a good bite on a hot day. You eat it with the crispy tostada shells they provide. The Tostada La Consentida might have been my favorite bite. The tuna was super thin, clean, and fresh, the avocado was soft and creamy, and the macha salsa was actually spicy and had some crunchy bits. It was the perfect combination of good flavor, good texture, and uniqueness. You have to get Camarones Zarandeados A La Parilla while you're here. I inhaled these! The shrimp were grilled to perfection. The smokiness mixed with a squeeze of lime were to die for! The Craken Taco was also a good try and very satisfying with the chihuahua cheese. I was so surprised that the Costra Taco was might favorite of the three considering it's a seafood spot but don't sleep on the ribeye! All in all, this meal actually hit the spot and I left happy & satisfied.

Move over, Astoria--this unremarkable street block offers enough casual Arabic seafood spots to…read moremake any Queens resident take notice. 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.

Thank goodness the doors have finally opened. Angelo's seafood market is perhaps one of the most…read moreanticipated and needed store to open in the last several years. 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. There is also a variety of refrigerated and frozen food options, including what looks like some very tasty cheddar crab dip. The highlight obviously is the fresh fish counter. 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! We are so glad you are here.

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 Shrimp Etouffee was pretty good, but the giant bowl of Jambalaya was the real crowd pleaser--it was chock full of Andouille sausage, chicken and shrimp, with a portion size that would've made any momma proud.

We have had issues with them splitting checks as a group. Some of the sides like the cornbread and grit fries (both $8) are plenty for sharing. The mac & cheese appetizer was super cheesy with a crispy cheesy crust on top, but the shallow dish was more of a personal sized side ($10). Most entrees are around $30 and the portions are generous and filling. And of course you have to finish with the beignets!

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.

We recently moved into…read morethe neighborhood and really wanted to like this restaurant because our first visit was excellent. The last time we came, the young man serving us was extremely attentive and professional, which is exactly why we decided to return. Unfortunately, this second visit was very disappointing. The steak frites was excellent, but the service was lacking. The young lady serving our table seemed far more focused on her cellular phone than attending guests. It took quite a while for our order to be taken, forgot half our order, and we repeatedly had to ask for empty plates to be cleared as additional courses were brought to the table. A restaurant can have great food, but attentive service and proper management matter just as much. We hope management takes this feedback seriously because this place has a lovely atmosphere and we would genuinely like to keep supporting a local neighborhood restaurant.
