Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Jersey City

Friendly and accommodating waitress. Comprehensive lunch menu. Not rushed to leave. Really enjoyed the historical insight from the museum exhibits. Look forward to coming again another time.

We may have gotten lucky because we went to Rock Center and had a reservation New Years Day. But our party of 6 was sat immediately upon checking in even though restaurant was busy. Good menu choices. Waiter attentive enough. Gave water right away but took awhile to come back to take order. Food came prompt, portions were good size and mostly delicious. Drink special was delightful and nice size. Def enjoyed our time there!

The burgers were on the spot. All freshly made to order. Staff was great and accommodating. Made a resevation to sit down a bit faster, so only had to wait a few minutes. The staff made the visit a great experience. Fully recommend this burger spot!

Outstanding dining experience shared with out of town family who were guests for the holiday season. The River Cafe did not disappoint. The menu offered a dazzling array of options for each course and given the large selection, we were a bit concerned about their ability to deliver… we were extremely happy and quite frankly blown away by each course. The food was of the best quality, presented beautifully and tasted absolutely DELICIOUS. Our only disappointment was the water service - it seems so silly but we had to ask NUMEROUS times for water and wait and wait for our glasses to be refilled. This seems like a minor detail but a major annoyance that can be readily corrected. One other troubling detail that surprised us was the lack of toilet tissue in the Ladies Room- it appeared that no staff attended to the bathroom during our three hour meal. We raise these two points in support of The River Cafe’s commitment to excellence. A warm thanks to the Chef and their team for a wonderful meal and lovey dining experience.

Gorgeous setting. We had river views in summer there are outside tables. A stylish restaurant with a central bar area. The food was fast and delicious and had a great vegetarian selection. About 5mins walk from York Street. Really can’t recommend this place enough.
