I stopped in with friends for breakfast before heading to the airport. The café opens before 9 a.m., but it seems to be run by just one person in the front and possibly one person in the kitchen. That said, the space itself is bright, clean, and charming—a cozy spot to sit and catch up with friends. We ordered several dishes to share: beignets, the plantain sandwich with fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and waffles with eggs and bacon. The beignets were the biggest disappointment—dense, small, and only two tiny pieces for the price. The plantain sandwich had good flavor, but the plantains used in place of bread were dense and tough, which didn’t pair well with the filling. The shrimp was sea...
For my main course, I enjoyed the Connecticut-style lobster roll, and it was nothing short of perfection—stuffed with generous amounts of fresh lobster and with just the right sweetness in the bread. Overall, I would rate my first meal here a perfect 10. My wife ordered the blackened fish served over a house salad, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. We relish discovering amazing places like this one. Even though it’s a small restaurant, it has so much to offer. I can't wait to return for another meal and experience everything fresh from the kitchen. This place is definitely worth a visit!
The only food I like here is their turno. There are a variety of filling from beef to vegetable. Everything else I had here was dry including the griot sandwich and monkey bread. The fresh squeezed orange juice is OK but tasted watered down and had no pulp. Also service is hit or miss sometimes friendly sometimes a little attitude. Pros: It is laptop friendly just mind the sound of the juicer. And kids are allowed Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $1–10 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5
Okay, I know this might upset some people… but I can definitely make the case that this is the best sea food in the JC/Hoboken area. You’ll get so much food for such a fair price. Weirdly enough, the Kale Caesar salad is a game changer with the shrimp. Something about that sauce is mildly addicting. Pro tip: don’t forget it’s BYOB! Bring some drinks and enjoy!

Low key, friendly vibe and excellent food. I've always ordered catch of the day, grilled, and have never been disappointed. Generous portions, nicely prepared and tasty. It's a seafood joint, but do not miss their fries--they are perfect! Its not my neighborhood, but I go out of my way to eat here. Highly recommended.
Very cozy space. Patrons were very corial. About 3 people came up to ask how we were enjoying our food including the chef Juan. What they lack as far as placing your order at the register and retrieving your own water they make up for with the presentation and taste of the food. I've never tasted fish so fresh!
The food and service were outstanding, but given the prices, I'm not entirely convinced. I might think about coming back, but it wouldn't be often—certainly not something I can do on a regular basis. Spending $35 for a fish platter and a canned soda seems excessive for this kind of dining experience.
