Lighthorse is always a comforting, old school Tavern with great food and drinks. The live music was the icing on the cake. We had a very relaxing evening. The dark wood decor adds to the calming atmosphere of a great Jersey City eatery.

Love everything about Little Owl. Every single thing on the menu looks amazing and the worst part of the night was having to decide what to order. Service was awesome too. Can't wait to come back!

I would describe the Cellar restaurant as avant-garde, fun and festive. The wait staff was excellent and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, the Korean fried wings with maple Chipotle and lobster tacos were my favorites.

The food was absolutely delicious! I’m so grateful for the wonderful experience I had on my birthday. A special thank you to the receptionist who welcomed us and made us feel so special. Everything was amazing, from the food to the service. The staff went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday experience. 1000/10 service! Thank you so much for making my day even more special.
