It’s a late post but since we had a pow-wow breakfast meeting at Brownstone Diner this morning figured I’d post in case no one saw it. It was featured in Spring 2008 on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives” with Guy Fieri.
Summer Hudson Restaurant Week begins today with nearly 30 participating restaurants in Hoboken & Jersey City. Pre-fixed lunches start at $13 and dinners at only $23. Try a new restaurant or visit your favority neighborhood establishment. New to the list are John’s Pizza, The Embankment and Madame Claude! The list also include two restaurants from NJ Monthly’s Top 25, Edwards Steakhouse and Ox!
THE SPACE A deceptively ambitious restaurant in a modest neighborhood setting. Fully wheelchair accessible.
THE CROWD Hip urban professionals.
THE STAFF Young and equally hip, but unencumbered by attitude.
THE BAR A large and companionable space that spills over onto two communal tables at the rear of the restaurant. Short, well-chosen wine list, with intriguing bottles in the $20s and $30s (and by the glass).
THE BILL Brunch entrees, $6 to $16. Dinner entrees, $14 to $23. All major credit cards accepted.
WHAT WE LIKE Oxtail, white bean salad, Tuscan kale-and-ricotta pie, tomato soup, steamed mussels; poached sea bass, miso-glazed monkfish, cornmeal-crusted skate, grilled flat-iron steak, roasted guinea hen; chocolate torte, mango-anise crème brûlée, chestnut crepes, apple-almond tart.
IF YOU GO Closed Monday. Dinner: Tuesday to Saturday, 5:30 to 11 p.m.; Sunday, 5:30 to 10 p.m. Brunch: Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Reservations recommended (necessary on weekends). The restaurant is on a rather scruffy block 200 yards west of the Grove Street PATH station; metered parking is available on the street and in a municipal lot next door.
