    Nice staff, the happy hour pizza was delicious and the beers were nice too. Nice ambiance and decor as well. The Tuesdays happy hour are truly worth it.

    5 out of 5 Ambiance, Service and food all perfect…read more Came here with the girls! My second time here and a first for my friends We started with the crudo and the whipped ricotta and the carpaccio for me the whipped ricotta was amazing with the date syrup and the olive oil and the carrots gave it a perfect crunch I hope they never change it I had the Lumache omg what can I say but it was simply amazing so delicious my friend had the Mafaldine another amazing dish it had a smoky taste to it that was so yummy and my other friend had the special dish of the day which was the black bass fish she loved it We also tried the tiramisu which was a little dry for my taste but we also tried the Lemon Olive Oil Cake which in my opinion should be called Limoncello Cake because it has a very profound taste of lemon which reminds me of limoncello lol it was super moist and delicious a must try! Definitely will be coming back!

The scallion pancake was a bit small but it was super delicious. The chicken katsu had an interesting tangy flavor and was nice and crispy. Service (4/5): Top notch service with super friendly staff. Really friendly waitress who was helpful and great! Only issue we had was we were asked if we wanted a bread refill for the Whipped Ricotta and we didn't know it's cost $5 which surprised us a bit on the check. Ambiance (5/5): Nice interior ambiance and super well designed restaurant. We walked by many times and got drawn by the beautiful interior which is why we came. Classy and nice vibe.

The cornbread is just $6 and is so warm and soft. It is topped with cheese and a honey butter. Amazing flavor. Just one was not enough, but in the name of variety we also ordered the cellar fries. These are really good fries. They are thin crispy wedges with a cheese sauce and bacon. Decadent stuff. We were loving the food. For drinks, the painkiller is a tiki classic, and theirs is quite good. I went with the race to the heavens, an old fashioned riff with cinnamon flavors. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Boozy but still a nice hint of sweetness. A good choice if you like simple drinks on the rocks.

The food was delicious, and the drinks were generously sized and well worth it. For two people with drinks, the pricing was actually pretty reasonable for the quality and portions you get. Bill came out to $100. I prefer the Waygu bun burgers, the pitcher of rum, my friend got the wings and edamame. One thing to keep in mind: if you go during peak hours, expect a bit of a wait since it gets pretty packed. I'd recommend going during a less busy time if you want to avoid that. Overall, easy 5/5 for me. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

My prior reviews are under MP. When we first came into the Feathered Fox, the atmosphere appeared to have a much more sexy deeper color vibe, than previous years. Today, Damian was our wonderful server. Here it begins with Cocktails! 18.00 each: - Friend in the Meadow w/ Titos (Birdie glass with feathers). It had a lovely, welcoming and enjoyable sweetness. - Pineapple Grill with Casamigos Meczal. Tasted exactly like a mildly grilled sweet pineapple with suddenly a Kick! Entree Time! I ordered the Wagyu Steak and Scrambled Eggs $38.00. The steak was off the charts delicious. A side of lightly seasoned Foxy Fries accompanied the meal. All the items were prepared and seasoned beautifully. My Bf ordered the French Toast $19.00. It was made out of Chocolate Babka with maple infused syrup. He really enjoyed it. Dessert Finale! We shared a super delicious Lemon Olive Oil Cake $14.00. Toasted Meringue topped the cake. The cake was dense, but still moist and Very Lemony. Highly Recommend!!!! All throughout our meal, someone was coming around filling our water glasses. Definitely recommend The Feathered Fox! A large parking lot is available.

But I digress... - Little Gem Classic Caesar Salad: Even a run-of-the-mill commoner like this tasted noticeably crisper and fresher than many recent salads I've had. And the dressing wasn't loaded with cream, for a change. - Strigoli Seafood Pasta: Light, refreshing, seafood pasta tastiness with a small handful of scallops, crab and shrimp in a lemon-thyme reduction--I just could've used about 30% more of it to justify the $39 price point. This isn't the West Village..... - Classic Creamed Spinach: Too salty. Skip this. - Mashed Potato Rings: On the flip side, get this for one of the most unique and creative ways you can ever enjoy fried potato. Mmmm....I wasn't sure if I wanted to consume the starch or toss it onto a pole. - Passion Fruit Panna Cotta with Dulce de Leche: A spontaneous splurge, but we were well-rewarded with a tasty combination of bright gelatin, creamy dark sugar, refreshing lychee sorbet, and a smokey black sesame shortbread cookie to boot. Service was friendly and attentive despite the bust weekend dinner crowd and the fact that we were seated on the packed patio overlooking the lovely marina. The drinks we got were all lovely too, but sadly I can't remember what we got. The fresh salty air must've fogged my memory.

It has a warm, energetic feel that works just as well for a relaxed lunch as it does for a date or catching up with friends. The food was solid across the board and came out at a nice pace.

As Mexican fans, we were excited to support a Mexican restaurant while watching the Mexico match. Unfortunately, the experience didn't match what was advertised. The game started at 9:00 PM--the exact time the kitchen closed. The bar closed at 10:30 PM, before halftime, and the restaurant closed at 11:00 PM... at halftime. We were politely informed that we'd have to leave before the match was even over. I want to be very clear that this is not a reflection of the staff. Our servers, hosts, and bartenders were wonderful. They rushed our food and drink orders in before the kitchen and bar closed, checked on us throughout the evening, and handled an awkward situation with professionalism and kindness. They did everything they could within the limitations they were given. This falls on management and ownership. If you're going to actively advertise your restaurant as a destination to watch World Cup matches, your hours should actually allow people to... watch the World Cup matches. Otherwise, it feels misleading. Soccer games don't end at halftime, and anyone planning these promotions should know that. I genuinely hope this is something management reconsiders because the staff deserves better, and so do the customers who came expecting the experience that was advertised.

    As someone who loves a good rooftop moment, I had to check out Rooftop at Exchange Place during our…read moreJersey City trip, and visiting on Juneteenth turned out to be the perfect choice. The weather was absolutely ideal -- warm enough to enjoy being outside but still crisp, with very little humidity. Basically, rooftop weather perfection. The biggest draw here is, without question, the view. The space itself is beautiful, with a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating, but seeing the Manhattan skyline illuminated at night is what makes this place special. It's one of those views that reminds you why people romanticize New York and the surrounding area so much. They offer a full food menu, although it appeared to be available primarily for guests seated indoors. The outdoor area seemed to focus more on drinks and lighter bites. Just know before you go: this is definitely a splurge spot. Everything is priced at a premium, so prepare yourself accordingly. Unfortunately, the service experience got off to a rough start. Both the security staff and hostess came across as unwelcoming and not particularly friendly. Whether they were overwhelmed or simply having an off night, it didn't create the best first impression. My biggest disappointment, however, was the restroom situation. By around 9:30 p.m., the bathroom was already in pretty terrible condition. Honestly, it was hard to believe it had deteriorated that much in just a few hours, and it gave the impression that it may not have been properly cleaned earlier in the day. Overall, Rooftop at Exchange Place delivers exactly what most people come for: spectacular views, a beautiful atmosphere, and an unforgettable skyline backdrop. Just be prepared for premium prices, a potentially lukewarm welcome, and hope that someone has checked on the bathrooms before you arrive.

    Have been to this location for the 4th of July in the past and was beyond excited to go back again…read more I was deeply disappointed and angered by the way management managed the influx of reservations and walk ins. I had an 8:30 reservation and arrived 30 minutes prior (according to their strict directions via text). I waited in line for an hour and 15 minutes and only received a wristband as the fireworks were going off and after arguing with the manager Jude. He consistently let walk ins in before dealing with any reservations. We also paid 35 dollars in advance. Once I got up to the rooftop, I was informed I would have to wait longer as they were kicking people out of our table. I asked to speak with a manager and again was forced to wait 35 minutes and witnessed a hostess quit mid shift. I do want to note, while waiting in line, a kind security guard informed me that the manager was letting people in who were late to their reservation. For example, a couple came at 8:00 for their 7:15 reservation and were let in. This was a horrible experience and will never be back. I understand the craziness of the 4th of July but this could have been avoided. Do not spend your money here, there are plenty of amazing places in Jersey City. Check out District! We went there instead and it was 10/10.

The moment you walk in, the hospitality wraps around you the staff genuinely makes you feel like family. That kind of warmth is hard to fake and even harder to find.

Absolutely not to be skipped. The sauce has the right amount of heat, the shrimp were cooked perfectly, and every bite just made sense. I've been back multiple times and it never misses. If you haven't been, you're late...go fix that.

I had very high expectations going in, but unfortunately, this experience was a major letdown. The food was just not good. The pasta was bland and needed extra salt and pepper. The arancini balls tasted like they had been frozen and lacked flavor. The steak and fries were tough, and the only noticeable flavor was a strong peppery taste. The restaurant itself is cute, and I do recommend making a reservation. The open/close concept is a nice touch and adds to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service was also disappointing. Our server seemed confused, and another staff member had to step in when we mentioned the arancini. We were told they were supposed to be that way, but arancini should have a warm, cheesy pull -- not a frozen texture. I had high hopes because of Wing Bar, but this visit did not come close to that experience.
