A newly renovated addition to the town, Hoboken bar & grill is serving up a pleasant change to classic bar cuisine. Now being open for several months, it was time to check out this establishment, and what it offers to the mile square town with bar & grills out numbering people… so you would think. An appreciation for their courteous staff that was above satisfaction to me and my guests, our lunch fair was able to hang with the big boys. Dining on the patio area under the roof, it was a very nice setting to take in while enjoying our meal. Ordering the grilled chicken sandwich, and the breaded chicken Panini, both had good flavor and depth. In terms of flavor, these 2 sandwiches were amongst the best I have sampled at any bar & grill in Hoboken.
The grilled chicken sandwich was served on a warm chard rosemary ciabatta with a savory pesto mayonnaise, which paired very well with the moist marinated chicken breast. The breaded chicken panini was equally tender and moist with great complements of roasted red peppers, pesto, and oozy cheese piled onto crusty and dense bread pressed to perfection. Both were accompanied by battered French fries, which were delicious, however I have to speculate whether they were made in house. We enjoyed a pitcher of sangria with our meal which for $15 it was a refreshing alternative to our usual glass of wine. Red or White, it was good; I do have to say that in terms of how it was served, they put ice in the pitcher which by the end had diluted the beverage. Not too sweet, could have used a splash of triple sec, but none the less, it was nice to enjoy on a hot day.
I have not been here for their night life, but it looks to be a nice addition to the town, and if it can make it through the quiet Hoboken summer nights, this will be added to the Hoboken square for the bar crowds weekly rounds.
As always, Enjoy! ~ K
