We used to buy fish from Citarella in Manhattan, but now we're glad to have a local store that sells top-quality fish. We often buy their salmon to make oven-baked salmon with red bell peppers and onions over jasmine rice. Their salmon is always incredibly fresh, moist, and tasty. I also love their oyster po' boy and 'fish of the day' sandwiches. I highly recommend Scale's fish to anyone who lives in or visits Jersey City.

The catch of the day was solid but could be more flavorful. The fries weren't my favorite as you couldn't really taste the truffle. I also generally prefer thin cut fries. Service (4/5): The staff were nice and friendly. The place was very busy when we went on Sunday late afternoon around 530pm. Some of the items like the fish and chips weren't available because the shop was short staffed. The food took around 25 min to come out due to the short staff. Ambiance (5/5): Chill fish shop ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating. Nice relaxing music playing and cool fishing decor. Tables inside are a bit cramped while outdoor tables have more space. Spot is pretty busy.

We walked to The Roxy from Bela apartments in Jersey City. The staff were so warm and welcoming to…read morethe 4 of us. Leo was our waiter and the service was great. He enjoyed explaining the various menu selections and details of some special drinks. The cocktails were wonderful and our food was beautifully plated, hot and cooked perfectly. We had the Caesar salad, a chicken and a pork entree. The lemon cake and the raspberry sorbet with a nice pairing of chocolate were both luscious. Justin, the owner, came by our table and we really enjoyed learning about The Roxy, which is a fairly new restaurant ( less than 2 years old). Justin comes up with all kinds of new cocktail creations and entree ideas, so the menu is interesting. The design of the restaurant is fresh and new, but also comfortable. They took our coats as soon as we entered the door practically. Go try "The Roxy". Our family highly recommends and we will visit The Roxy again soon. Great developing location, nice safe area that has so many new apartments and shops being established. Near Liberty State Park and not very far from Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. Enjoy great food without big crowds

Mariacos Submarino was great and my favorite Mexican spot in JC…read more The food tasted genuinely authentic from BCS or Sinaloa with strong flavors, and seasoning. Everything we ordered was excellent. The drinks were strong and well crafted. The vibe was also very authentic Mexican (not fancy or anything but casual like a beach town taqueria) with loud banda music, a casual setup, and bright overhead fluorescent lights. Waiters were attentive and had good suggestions, nothing fancy or formal but a great casual experience and service from them

Came back here after a while and it feels like the place got busier, but the quality has gone down…read more Seafood wasn't as good as before and the seasoning was weaker. The grilled shrimp was the most obvious issue -- flavor was okay, but not fresh. The texture was soft and a bit mushy, not firm, and hard to take the meat out cleanly. Other dishes were just average, nothing really stood out. Overall, it feels like the food quality has declined compared to before.

Was here for an event, not a sit-down dinner and the food was pre-ordered for a large quantity, so…read moreI didn't have a say in what was ordered. It was mostly trays fried food, hardly any gluten-free-friendly options, but again I didn't have a say in that. The hot food was just fine. Chicken fingers, fried spring rolls, pulled pork sliders, raw veg platters, etc. I assume the food here is better when not prepared in such a large quantity and sitting in trays. The location is nice but it was a hot and humid evening and there weren't any fans (if there are, they weren't in our area). I appreciate that there was a lot of seating and tables, plus multiple bars, but the offerings at the different bars was inconsistent. First bar had grey goose but said no ginger beer for a mule. Did NOT mention that the next bar over may have ginger beer! Eventually for next drink at the next bar over, they didn't have grey goose but had ginger beer. (I settled for a tito's mule.)

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.

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.

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.

Cute, casual neighborhood spot with all the Cajun classics one could ask for…read more We shared the Crawfish Calas, which were tasty but could've used more crawfish. 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. Round it out with a generous helping of turkey bacon-drenched collard greens, and you've got yourself a pretty soulful dinner.

On the happy hour, we started with the oysters - they were good, enjoyed them we got a second round. We got 3 apps for under $30. The crab cake was okay we thought we would get more than one (3 of us). We got the eggplant, we absolutely loved that! Lastly, the calamari was great. I love the type of breading they do for them. We wanted to try more food but we ran out of time. I would come back to try more. We mainly did the happy hour menu and they have great prices! Really cute place. .

We visited on Thursday and sat outside since it was such a beautiful day. 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.

The atmosphere is also a bit different. The lobster garage is more casual, serving food in baskets and paper serving plates with plastic utensils. It's very dog friendly with outdoor seating.
