Overall the food was good, unfortunately we didn't have a great waitress. We purposely picked this restaurant to meet friends at because online it shows their menu has gluten free options. My fiancé has Celiac disease and he ordered the house chopped salad and informed the waitress he can't have gluten. The waitress said their dressing for that salad is a beer based dressing - the restaurant shouldn't be advertising it as gluten free if it has beer in it! She also got confused and said there was a vegan option of dressing she can do, which isn't helpful because that doesn't mean gluten free. Food allergies are something that if you're working in a restaurant, you need to know the difference between vegan and gluten free. We called a few days in advance to make a reservation and while we were there, the waitress wasn't giving us enough time to order, she came back three times and then finally told us that there is a party coming in later and they have the whole restaurant booked. We purposely called in advance for the reservation, the restaurant shouldn't have taken a reservation for when we asked if they were going to be pushy to rush us out. Lastly, this is just minor but we ran out of water very quickly (before our food came) and the waitress never came back once until our food was done. I know this is a long post and usually people complain just to complain. If you see my other reviews, most of them are 5 stars. Mainly I wanted to post this because I wouldn't want someone eating there and getting sick or having an allergic reaction.

I think this is one of the best restaurants in Hoboken. Not only is the staff immensely friendly and inclusive to every walk of life but the food caters to everyone’s food types as well including vegan and gluten free (meat options too!) Please ignore the negative reviews. People who choose to buy or rent above a commercial business should do their research and understand that retail outlets and restaurants will have noise associated with it. It is no reflection on how wonderful your experience will be there.
