Best Family Style Restaurants in Hoboken

The food is amazing and the service is great. My love and I enjoyed our time there.

All around wonderful experience. We had a reservation at 8:00 but found our schedule changed a bit and we hoped to eat earlier. We stopped by the restaurant at 6:30 to see if they could seat us sooner, and they prepared a table for us right away. At the same time, I heard another guest ask the host how soon they could be seated without a reservation, and she was told the wait was 90 minutes! We felt like VIPs! The service, the food, and the ambience were all incredible. Our water glasses were never empty. Our food was delivered in the ideal time. Everything was delicious. We love the family-style menu that let all of us share and taste several entrees. The Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve had. We look forward to returning!

Having moved from London, we were unsure how Hawksmoor NYC could live up to a traditional English roast. In truth, it didn’t just live up up to it. It exceeded it. Relaxed atmosphere and excellent service made us feel at home. Only area they could improve on; the people running the bar out front have some work to do on making people feel welcome. They could learn a lot from the restaurant staff.

Great service overall, except the gentleman on water duty was constantly refilling glasses even when you had only taken one sip. It was a little too much. Also, there was a screw up using a gift card that some how got added to my cc slip, but was corrected. The lighting is far too low. Looks pretty, but not functional for diners. When you move the table lap to make room for the food, you cannot see the food, especially when you have the duck on a three tier stand. I saw many patrons using their flashlights to read the menu. Bathroom sink was not working, so had to use another to wash hands. Our server and sommelier were great at their jobs and she really knew her menu and explained things well and made excellent recommendations. Food was presented wonderfully and tasted great.

The waiters were so sweet very attractive very kind. The small plates were fine nothing out of this world, but still good. The paella was honestly a little sad. The rice didn’t have any flavor to be honest.
