City Bistro

Decent place for food and drinks a couple of blocks from the water

Had a private party. Servers and bartender went above and beyond for marissa and Anthony's engagement party! Thank you very much!

Came here a couple times, once for a brunch and more recently an event in a rented room. We had one bartender for 20 of us which worked out well. The drinks were poured heavy which was much appreciated. However, the appetizers were a bit lack luster. They were necessary but nothing I would go out of my way to order. We had full control of the music and the bathroom was close by. Overall it was a good time.

Went for brunch today and left today at (2:30pm. It was nice that they set us down quickly, however, the wait to have someone take our order was a lot but we understood since they seemed busy. Yet, it took almost a whole hour to get the food. No one came to touch with us, or offered more drink or at least reassure us the food was coming. We hoped the food was worth the wait (because of the reviews) but it was whatever. we were starving and needed to eat at this point. Huevos rancheros was more of melted cheese on a plate. My husband asked for a steak and eggs which he clearly said over easy but not only were the eggs sunny side up but it was raw. Mind you we couldn’t complaint because once our food came out no one came to do a table touch. We were lucky we still had water left to not chock on our food. Bussers were running around like loose chicken and waiters no where to be found . We also figured if we complained we were going to have to wait another 40min for properly cooked eggs. Once we started to eat and my husband finished plate they just picked up the empty plate and the host came and asked if everything was okay which I responded it alright, she didn’t even care to ask why or what happened and just ask if she can bring us the check, my husband was still eating the pancakes we order and I was still working on my breakfast and haven’t even touch my pancakes. Very uncalled for and disturbing. We understand there was a big group of people waiting for the table but it’s not our fault the kitchen took forever with our food. Horrible experience will never come back to waste our money at this place, even it was for free. For those who think this place has amazing there was way better restaurants in Hoboken and elsewhere.

Really nice spot for lunch, loved the chicken sandwich
