Review 1 (2024-12-24 - Rating: 5)
OK, I think this place is underrated. Ive been there so far a total of three times And each time it gets better hopefully it continues to be that way. The view is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking from the moment that you walk in, youre greeted by a hostess, there is minimal to no weight if you need reservations, which is great. I chose to be seated at the indoor dining room, but I believe theres other areas. The place is surrounded by windows for the most part and you get a beautiful skyline view of the city. The food is absolutely amazing, especially if you like seafood appetizer, you cant miss out on any of them, but especially you love sweet and salty. You must try the whipped ricotta Oysters were some of their popular cocktails, especially the Lychee martini or the pepa bonafè. The trays are honestly really good, we have tried the halibut And the scallops and both were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Our waiter Nick was a GEM. Very attentive, he gave us some drinks to try, I wish I remembered the name, but it was a wine that was heated with a touch of cinnamon and it was so delicious. Definitely coming back and highly suggest. -

Went to Lokal this past weekend with my boyfriend and we had an amazing time. At first there was a hiccup as there was a miscommunication with them thinking that we left, but they made up for it! DJ was the perfect server and was an absolute pleasure to dine with. The food was delicious and the view was absolutely spectacular. We will definitely be coming back again! There is a garage and a parking lot right next to the restaurant for convenient parking!! -

We visited the Local Eatery and Bar recently and loved the food, drinks and ambience. The best part was the location of the restaurant with amazing night time views of downtown New York City! They have indoor and outdoor seating available. I had the lychee martini that tasted very good but they also had several of their own cocktails that sounded amazing. We shared 4 large plates amongst us - the sea bass, the brick chicken, cauliflower steak and mushroom fettuccine. Although the portion sizes were way smaller than we expected, the dishes were all very tasty. Service was friendly too. The prices are on the higher side but you would expect that from a riverside restaurant with great views in Jersey city. -

Wow! I can only say amazing things about Lokal! I had my wedding welcome party here and worked very closely with Mona, who was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I was so anxious leading up to the wedding and then adding a welcome party only made me more stressed. Mona helped me with everything and made the event planning process a breeze for me! My family and friends absolutely loved the restaurant and its views, but more importantly, they loved the food and the SERVICE! Please make sure everyone that worked this event 4.25.2024 is acknowledged for the great work they did. Lokal and Mona provided a wonderful way to kick off our wedding weekend and we will be forever grateful! -

The views of the NY skyline and nearby river are breathtaking, creating a memorable ambiance. The drinks were excellent, but I found the food portions a bit on the smaller side, considering the prices. Apart from that, everything else was top-notch, making it a solid dining experience -

What a fantastic experience! Everything about the evening was perfect from the atmosphere of the facility to the well-crafted cocktails to the delicious food to the stellar service. It was the perfect venue for getting together with old friends and reminiscing. We were lucky enough to arrive just before happy hour ended so grabbed some cocktails and olives as well as both the meat and cheese platters which were great. For the meal we shared several small plates of shishito peppers, duck rillettes, and lamb chops. Everything was executed perfectly and to say that the service went above and beyond is a massive understatement and I am extremely grateful for their care and concern for us. Will be visiting this place again and again -

Checked this place out for a birthday dinner my friend planned for me and had the best time! Ambiance was nice and chic-looking with the option of outdoor seating (we decided to sit indoor since it was a bit hot outside). Once we were all seated, our server was attentive and helpful in choosing our cocktails to start off with. I decided to try the Watermelon Sames, which tasted refreshing and perfect for the summer (comes with a watermelon ball)! We also ordered a bunch of appetizers such as the seafood tower, truffle fries, goat cheese croquettes, etc. followed by our entreé, where majority of us ordered the braised short ribs. All tasted amazing and cooked to perfection.Definitely recommend for a celebration! Would also come back to check out their happy hour. -

Just had a fantastic 20th anniversary dinner at Lokal, and will definitely be going back. The staff is so friendly and personable, starting with the hostess and our server, and especially the manager, Shannon, and executive chef, Juliette. The food, drinks, and ambience are top notch, the city views are incomparable. I would highly recommend for a special night out. -

The food was pretty good and they have l a wide range of small plates and sides. They had a great selection of cocktails. On the pricier side, but you’re paying for the view. They were able to accommodate us when we asked for a window seat.We weren’t there for happy hour but the deals looked really solid -

Local is a great addition to the Jersey City waterfront dining scene. It offers good food, stylish decor, and great views of New York City across the Hudson. We had a dinner there with another couple on a clear July night and very much enjoyed their comfortable outdoor seating. Great place to take your out-of-town friends to. -

Had a fantastic brunch with friends! Great food, awesome views, and good service. Limited gluten-free options though, which was surprising for such a nice spot. Still recommend, but be aware if you have dietary restrictions. -

Great place to come for brunch. Drinks were very delicious. Steak and eggs, chicken and waffles are a must try. The truffle mac and cheese was very tasty - add bacon to it for an even better taste. Desserts 1. Tiramisu and 2. Crème brûlée. Ended the brunch with a great cup of cappuccino. Will be returning for sure. Service was spectacular. Thank you -

Stunning views of NYC with the meal. The charred cauliflower, margherita flatbread, cheese board, and tossed vegetable rice were good vegetarian options. Tastefully done interiors. Great spot for a walk by the water. Free street parking after 7 pm, paid parking lot nearby too. Arrive early for a table of your choice. -
Review 20 (2024-11-02 - Rating: 4)
I live right by Lokal and I’d say my preferred way to dine there is for happy hour. They really have a stellar HH deal everyday- otherwise just know that you are paying for the view. It is Manhattan rooftop prices because you truly have a stunning panoramic Manhattan view in a trendy-feeling restaurant. The food and drink are totally acceptable but it’s $23 cocktail energy.Impressive place to bring friends or family - during summer they have awesome patio seating. Staff has always been friendly to our dogs who we’d bring frequently over summer. -

Came here for a Happy Hour and enjoyed the views with $1 Oysters. The oysters were pretty good and we got some apps that were 3 for $30. The Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes Bravas were actually really good with their aioli sauce. The Calamari was crispy and good but I wish I tried another dish since it was basic.The server wasn’t clear about the Happy Hour beer list so I ended up reserving an IPA that was full price. Overall tho good service and we sat on the patio section to enjoy an Incredible view!I will be back for sure and I recommend others to try their happy hour menu too. -

My friend and I came here this evening and have experienced wonderful service! Chef Juliet worked her magic in the kitchen, Shannon was beyond accommodating, and James has a great personality and makes (among other things) a fabulous lychee martini and margarita. Highly recommend this location! If you haven’t tried this restaurant…please rush in! -

Amazing views of New York! The service is great- I would definitely recommend this place for their happy hour, best deal in town. The oysters are very fresh. I would definitely recommend trying their cocktails, very unique. The owner is also very friendly and takes an interest in any customer issues. -

Trendy waterfront restaurant with a good atmosphere and tasty dishes!We went for dinner on a Friday night and booked ahead to guarantee a table of 4.The food and drinks are very well thought out and and aside from being very Instagrammable they all taste great!We had the fish cakes to start which come with a delicious sauce, and then we all had the dry aged burger as mains which were also delicious. To drink we had a variety of cocktails amongst our group of which all of them were well presented and tasted great!Bathrooms are clean and tidy and of course the view of the Freedom Tower is beautiful, especially at night.Dropping one star due to a wait of 15 minutes to be seated, but when we got inside it was around 60% full which didnt make sense to us and, unfortunately our server made us feel like we had to ask for everything and were very much a second thought, since he told us there were bigger tables they were serving at the same time.Otherwise for the vibe, food and drinks it was great! -

A friend of mine and I decided to meet up for brunch and I was looking forward to trying this restaurant. I made reservations for 1pm online. When we arrived I seen the restaurant was right off the water with a beautiful view. We walked in and gave the hostess my name and they sat us. I really liked the decor if the restaurant.Bobbi was our waitress and she was really nice and attentive. For drinks I got a ginger ale and my friend got a mimosa that was $12 by the way. For my entrée I got the lamb burger and my friend got the steak and eggs. The lamb burger looked great but wasnt great. The ketchup did help the taste a bit. My friend enjoyed the steak and eggs. They allowed us to stay a bit longer than the 90 minutes. I had a good experience minus the lamb burger so next time I have to come or dinner. -

Had an amazing time today at Lokal! Super busy, had to wait a little while, but we had some delicious drinks at the bar while we waited. The food came out fast once we were seated and the server was awesome. Didn’t even have to wait for refills of water. If you are looking for great service, ambiance and food, this place is worth the wait! YUMMMMMMMMMMYYYYY! -

Loved the food, the ambience and everything in between.Food - The Arancini, eggplant caponata and truffle hand cut fries were perfect and oh so yum! We also ordered the maitake mushrooms and crispy cauliflower. The mushrooms were a little bland for our taste and the cauliflower didnt feel like all the spices were well mixed. Nevertheless it wasnt bad.The cocktails that we had were good as well. I loved the espresso Martini though. Felt like drinking a cold version of the Irish coffee.We had the creme brulee for dessert and it was to die for 😋The service was excellent and everyone that attended to us were warm and welcoming.Special note to the lovely guy in the blue suit (manager maybe?) that came over to ask us twice if our food was okay - if youre reading this - I shouldve given you this feedback in person instead of cutting you off asking for the cheque 😬. Sorry about that! Well definitely be coming back again! 😊 -

This is a new place! Anyone ripping on it just has a negative mindset! It has a future but needs to get constructive feedback to make it work! I am giving them 4 stars as I find the most important element of a good new restaurant is their service and focus on feedback!Positives:Service- awesome but amount of times asking if everything is ok was a bit much. When they become busy it won’t be able to be so attentive!View- magnificent and when you can eat outside will even be better! I liked the view even better than charter house in weehawken!Ambience- nice and relaxing. Music was loud enough to enjoy and not loud enough to disrupt your conversation!Drinks: wine selection is good but not out of this world! The Bordeaux was pretty good but I’m really picky so I can’t say out of this world!Negatives:For my wife the beet salad was too cold but it worked for me!Octopus- was again pretty good but not prepared properlyMedallions- absolutely great especially the sauce that compliments it!desert- we had both the chocolate cake with flowers and tiramisu! Both were pretty good for me but too strong for my wife! This part is based on preference/taste buds!Price: 20% about too high for what you are getting as we could of ventured into NYC for actually cheaper! As a local business owner I understand the overhead so I didn’t blink especially with a good server! The price to quality & portion of food ratios however will disappoint the majority of frugal people!I’d recommend this place and we will be back to see how they are improving as they get it off the ground! -

Review 38 (2019-11-25 - Rating: 5)
Jersey City officially opened up one of the swankiest restaurants on their waterfront with magnificent views of Manhattan. Mona Panjwani is the proprietor and visionary of this establishment. After 12 days of having their doors opened, they have built a team of individuals who are personable, approachable and possess a strong sense of ownership. Literally a recipe for prosperity.With sufficient space, Lokal Eatery & Bar can comfortably sit up to 200 customers and is the perfect destination for a rehearsal dinner, trunk show, celebratory engagement and/or corporate gathering. Towards the rear, there’s a semi-private area with its own seating, lounge and sound system to drown out the clutter of what’s taken place in the main arena. “Lokal” murals, perfect for social engagement, are sprinkled throughout the spot which were constructed by a local commissioned artist. Adding an element of youth and elegance similar to its milieu. Overall the architecture and intent of this eclectic eatery have an industrial yet modern feel. Iron gates frame the bar and above the 30-foot island hangs a custom lighting installation.Nestled in the heart of a rising luxury neighborhood within JC, this venue is destined to become one of the area’s most popular draws. Executive Chef, Walter Donadio, has managed to fabricate a tantalizing menu of appetizers, small plates and entrees which are certain to keep you coming back. Some of his best infused tapas and items include succulent scallops, rock shrimp, sauteed mushroom bowls as well as a vegan surf and turf packed with savory lentils. Most of their components are locally sourced and fresh from the Garden State – right down to the blueberries featured in some of their signature drinks.Often times, you inflict a new place and the waitstaff is uncertain on what to recommend. That’s not the case for Lokal. Many of their squad members were well-informed on what they offer and even had ample recommendations for their handcrafted cocktails. Our favorites were their Elliott Stubb (reminiscent of an old fashioned) and Jerry Thomas – cucumber water iced cubes make this drink refreshing.The future is bright for Lokal Eatery & Bar. And, with a strong location, menu and bar, it’s set to be one of the most prestigious brunch/dinner spots for global foodies, making it a firm contender for three Michelin stars and a James Beard Award. Subsequently, it’s extremely apparent that Mona and her crew are meticulous and pay close attention to details.*Brunch is Saturday & Sunday from 11-3pm. Happy hour daily from 5-7pm. -

If you want to sell your friends on why Jersey City is great, bring them to Lokal.Lokal is the whole package - it has incredible views of the skyline, a great, open dining room, delicious food, great drinks, and beautiful art that matches the Jersey City vibe perfectly. Lokal is fun for anytime of the day and for any occasion, but I especially love their brunch.My brunch recommendation is to split two meals with a friend - one of you get the croque Monsieur, and the other gets shakshuka. Split the croque Monsieur and dip it in the shakshuka. It’s like a grilled cheese dipped in tomato soup but 100x better. -

After a stressful morning trying to get around a marathon and then driving into the city found myself back at the hotel ready to eat googled food near me and this amazing restaurant popped up was greeted at the door by 3 lovely ladies with welcoming smiles( I’m sure I wasn’t smiling after traffic) we was given the option of selecting a table with a view with out a pole blocking honestly anywhere in the restaurant is a sight to see. Ordered food and wine from the happy hour menu was pleasantly surprised how fast the food came out smelled great and hot one of the managers came over I believe her name was Shanon she gave me some encouraging words regarding my stroke which made the food taste even better my thoughts must have been on my forehead because I was feeling a tad bit defeated. Every server smelled amazing like an expensive fragrance. Odd thing to notice but every last one of the servers smelled amazing I was wondering if it was part of the uniform requirement apron pen fragrance. Even the bartender looked outstanding. The food was amazing Brussels sprouts 10/10 short riband mash 10/10 hummus 10/10 the fries 10/10 the rosé 10/10 this restaurant should be the blueprint for other restaurants great work management -

We ordered the poutine and seafood tacos. Both were excellent. The fries in the poutine were homemade and fresh (not frozen). Gravy in the poutine had a wonderful savory flavour with a hint of red wine sourness....delicious. The tacos were fresh and perfectly cooked. Service was a little slow, but not terrible.Would highly recommend this place. -

One of our favorite places for drinks and tapas with a gorgeous city few. We always go for the oysters, grilled octopus, tuna tartar, papas bravas. Drinks are very very good, lychee martini is one of my favorites. The place is modern, has great music and a great vibe overall. One thing that elevates the experience is the incredible view you get from any table -

We made a dinner reservation to celebrate our anniversary here and had a very pleasant experience, despite some of the negative reviews on here.We got seated right away and although they didnt give us the window seat that we requested online, the one we had made an even better view of the skyline (before other patrons got seated).The food was on point. We took advantage of the happy hour appetizers and everything was incredible. Brussel sprouts were crispy and packed with flavor. And the $1 oyster special was such a steal because they were super fresh. Not briny tasting at all. Lychee martini was also perfectly sweet and balanced.Main entrees consisted of the short ribs which was tender and flavorful. My husband ordered the steak which was prepare rare as requested. Only gripe is we wish they would offer other sides with that instead of French fries, which was a little disappointing.The service here is excellent - our waiters were super attentive and friendly. Always checking on us and refilling our waters. They even gave us a creme brulee on the house to celebrate our anniversary! So sweet.Overall excellent spot to enjoy a romantic evening dinner along with some gorgeous views of the Hudson. -

Overall, I would definitely come back. The food was delicious. The chamomile tea and mimosa were delicious as well, and I love that it was tea leaves. I had ordered huevos rancheros with a side of bacon and Im glad I got that bacon. Im not sure if its because of COVID or their plates are naturally that small, but I was still hungry after just the main meal. Ive gone to brunch places with bigger plates, so that was the only negative about the food.Decrease beautiful and music vibes were perfect for Sunday brunch. I love that it was by the water for the scenery. Another negative was that my party of 13 couldnt be seated together due to social distancing yet there were two tables that were back to back and they appeared to be a larger parry than ours. The birthday lady wasnt happy about that, nor was the rest of the party that had to sit away from her, including myself. -

Literally the most beautiful restaurant with breathtaking views and some seriously killer food!The drinks alone look like little works of art almost too beautiful to drink. But all the food here is delicious from the papas bravas to the shrimp, heck even the complimentary focaccia was good!For dinner my friend had the scallops & I had my favorite dish the short rib! Tender and moist I was beyond impressed ! But you must take a walk around to see the decor and stunning views ! -

I popped in for happy hour and was very pleasantly surprised. The hostess was welcoming and sat us right away. At least 5 different staff members including the manager touched our table (meaning they made sure our water glasses were full, dirty plates cleared, and checked on us a few times — of course this is expected service but I found the attention from staff to be pretty exceptional). I got a glass of the Malbec and we ordered the cheese plate and some appetizers to share. The papas bravas are delicious! They’re crispy with a little kick from the chili remoulade. Also tried the shishito peppers with garlic aioli, which were okay. I like the aioli they come with because otherwise they were pretty plain. The spiced chicken kebabs were tender and very well seasoned. My only minor complaint would be that the cheese plate should come with more crackers/bread. The view is fantastic, and the ambience is just right. I’ll definitely be back. -

They have a great variety of options to choose from, and everything we ordered tasted really good.Edit: 3rd time visiting Lokal, and they are just consistent with quality of food and service. Posting pics of some new items that we tried this time. -

Drinks and happy hour deal is AMAZING! It’s Definitely worth going out with your coworkers or a friend after work. They have a new chef and menu now which is excellent and delicious. I love their pasta, lychee martini, octopus, and new chicken dishes. The views are great and the staff are wonderful, especially the Bar staff they make your happy hour time very welcoming and fun. I came here for a date, with family, and for girls night and had equally wonderful experiences. -

Excellent spot for an amazing brunch with views of NYC skyline. Have been here multiple times and love the fact that they take reservations through Resy. Service was great and the food options were quite impressive. Oh the boozy brunch drinks were even better plus they have outdoor patio seating during summer which is nice. Love the vegetarian options on their brunch menu. However we were pleasantly surprised by their freshly made desserts for brunch! -

Ive visited Lokal with both family and friends, and it never disappoints! The food is consistently incredible, with a menu full of delicious options that always hit the mark. Pair that with the stunning NYC skyline views and the warm, inviting atmosphere, and its easy to see why its so amazing. I went for brunch this morning, I tried one of the best avocado toast and eggs Benedict Ive ever eaten—as a breakfast enthusiast, its safe to say that I will be coming back here again soon! If you are visiting Jersey City or NYC, this is a must-visit place 😁😋. -

Attended an alumni event at Lokal. Appetizers and drinks were very good. The wait staff was attentive but not intrusive. The highlight of the evening is the incredible view of Manhattan from the glass windows inside the restaurant. Terrific location with paid parking options. There was another event being held outside on the patio. The bar and restaurant were busy on a Tuesday evening. Will return again. -

Good apps, great happy hour on the water! $1 oysters is a hidden secret.Only bad thing I must mention-we had a waiter and they changed over and then we had another server…unfortunately we only were ordering off the happy hour menu for our entire check and the server failed to mention that the “draft beer” we were ordering (which is how it’s labeled on the menu-no notes nothing-no options) wasn’t apart of the happy hour menu when we received our check. We ordered about 6 beers total. When we mentioned this to our server she didn’t really do anything. Next time I feel you should mention or at least list the beers or tell customers! Other than that it’s a good spot with views. -

I was very impressed with Lokal. Took two friends to check out the newly opened eatery close to me for a late dinner over the weekend. (All three of us travel extensively and are total wine and food snobs :). To start, there was some excellent and unique wines on the list and we really enjoyed our choices.We all had late lunches so we stuck to the small plates. Again, very very tasty, and interesting choices which we thoroughly enjoyed. Also exceptionally well-priced compared to what youll find across the river in Manhattan.The service was great throughout. The lady at reception was friendly and welcoming and our server was professional, attentive and friendly throughout without being overbearing. We enjoyed the decor and of course the view is exceptional.Very happy to have Lokal open. Its a real asset to JC. -

Love the vibe here, view of the city is phenomenal! Came to dinner with a girlfriend on a Friday night, the staff are very welcoming from the door. The drink menu is great I wanted to try them all! Food had so much flavor the Brussel sprouts were delicious! Entree sizes are on the smaller side but paired with a side or appetizer you should be good. I do wish my server was a bit more attentive (I don’t blame him he did have a few other tables) but the other wait staff helped us with what we needed. Over all loved my dining experience and will be returning! -

Almost everything about this place is great. The atmosphere, the city view, the staff and decor is beautiful. The one downside is the portion size. I dont usually complain about this, if its delicious and pricy then its ok that its not a big portion.. but this is waaay tiny. The pricing is high and the flavor is regular good, but the portion is tiny, extremely tiny. So if you go, do it for appetizer size portions, drinks and the view. Make sure youre full before going... Otherwise great place. -

Truthfully I would only give the food 3 stars but our server was lovely and the atmosphere/ambiance is in incredible. I would come back just for the pleasure of sitting in such beauty. Yet my lamb was rather dry and not rich in gamey flavor at all. However, I loved the mint sauce, jelly, and harissa trio that really brought out the flavor of the lamb. And the Happy Hour appetizers that are 3 for $19 (while a great bargain)were just so-so. We tried the rock shrimp, fried oysters, and shishito peppers. The peppers were a little too oily and the fried oysters were a little hard. The rock shrimp were decent though...and by far my favourite selection. The raw oysters also lacked...they were a little slimy and not pleasant going down. But the Happy Hour drink prices are on point and I love the cava selection that is apart of that. I will try other things on the menu my next time around.
