Hoboken Resto Reccs Please - moved from Outer Boroughs board
We're all 30. There may be one chold under the age of 1 with us. We dont want anything stuffy or $$$, but good. We can deal with American type food or Italian. We also need a place that accepts reservations. Thanks!!!!!

I had a good meal at Elysian Cafe in Hoboken. This was a couple of years ago, but we thought the place was charming. Had a delicious asparagus soup.

I lived in Hoboken for a few years, and I am sorry to say, but I am really struggling to come up with a recco for you!
I was more than disappointed with the dining establishments of a city renowned for it's "Italian-ness"
Augustino's is meant to be the best Italian by far, but I have never tried it. (I popped in once to see a menu - the menu was bland and average, but it did smell REALLY good in there!) Decor was bla too.
We always enjoyed Madisons - pretty decent American food, very good drinks..Thier Brunch buffet is well above average.
Here are all of the Italian and American spots in Hoboken - if you have any questions - just ask.
Cheers

re: NellyNel
trust me, i would rather NOT go to Hoboken, but Im trying to accomodate my friends who think manhattan is a third world country...Ugh! :)
Madisons was my frist thought, but it seems we're having dinner the same day as the St Patt's Day Parade and they are NOT taking resies that day.-
re: italianagambino
If you are going to be here on March 7th, I would change the day you come to Hoboken. The town is a mess of nothing but 20 something drunks from all over coming in town to drink and throw up on the streets.
I would suggest Leo's Grandview for a group, the Italian is decent, but it's a fun place. Augustino's is really good, one of the better meals I have had in Hoboken.
Honestly, the food here is not that good, if I ever want a really good meal I do one of two things, take the PATH to NYC or go to the airport and fly home to New Orleans.

LOL
Sorry about that!
Where were you thinking of going in Weehawken or Edgewater?
We've been to Ruth Chris - which was really over-rated and VERY expensive (read: DON"T GO THERE!!)
and PF Changs - which my stepson LOVES.... but yuck on a Sat. night!
I know there are a few places but not too sure...???

Do you mean on the day that HOBOKEN has the St. Pats Parade?
Because If you do - you really need to reconsider your plans.
I would HIGHLY discourage you going anywhere near Hoboken that day.People start to line up at the bars by 9:00am, and by dinner time things will be UGLY.
The crowds spill onto the streets and you cannot avoid them.
It's almost a guarantee you will see someone puke and pee in the street.Unless this is your idea of entertainment - then change your plans - and especially if you'll have a child with your group.
Have you considered Jersey City?
