Poor quality food choices, need to improve the quality of the ingredients and style of cooking. Ok environment pub style.

Amazing Irish spot. 1) The place is very cozy. It is a warm cozy spot on a rainy day. They also have couches, which is very nice. But, getting the couches is tough. There is always someone stilling there. Also, near some seats are changing stations, which is really nice if your phone charge is running low. 2) I will highly recommend the pasties, it is meat filled pastry with gravy. Unbelievable! 3) Their Shepard's Pie was great. But, ask for their gravy on the side. It makes the Shepard's pie go from a 7/10 to a solid 9/10

The food at this restaurant is great. They offer the best wings that I’ve had in the area and the southwestern chicken rolls are really good as well. Even the chicken cesar is good if your looking for something healthier.

Dined here last night on a total whim to meet friends. Arrived around 5. Our main waiter (but also like three people waited on our table) was slow but we were not in a hurry, so no big deal. First, why are the water glasses so small? It’s like serving water for ants. Ordered drinks, then food, wings were good, soup was good, fish and chips were soggy, not great. Ordering drinks along the way, this girl picks up our soup while we are still eating it! Then she ask us if we want to box two wings at least 3 times. Then we get two more drinks and she comes over and is like “there is a reservation for this table, it’s a Saturday night” so, now it’s maybe 6:00? So we have full beers and a timeline. Anyway, we still probably waited another 20 minutes for someone to bring the check. It was such a weird vibe between our waiter and this other rude girl. I just won’t go back, but there’s like a billion places to go in Hoboken.

Carpe Diem in Hoboken NJ offers a delightful experience with a cozy atmosphere and friendly service. The steamed mussels, and the chili wings were well-cooked. Looking forward to returning for more delectable dishes and perhaps trying the Irish breakfast. The ambiance, complete with a fireplace and TVs, added to the enjoyable dining experience. Always a great time at Carpe Diem! Also the bartender is super friendly and welcoming!!

What an amazing and convenient location. Maybe if I drank more and sat at the bar and could bar fare regularly this would be my jam. But I'm in the back, the parent section...those of us holding onto dreams of yesteryear when we had lives before bringing our kids to the local pub's parent section. I want to love this cutely decorated neighborhood favorite but after a few visits, I think I'm tapped out. Service is 0. We went a weeknight and the young lady server that night was helpful in ordering and kind but once she took my order was nowhere to be found. Literally. I had to ask 4 other people for everything from water to the check and everything in between. Today was even more abysmal. Asked dude for brunch reccs and he said he doesn't eat breakfast so he can't really help. He took my order and one entire order was missing. At no point was he present or came back to ask how the food was or he'd have seen one person's meal didn't come. An meh "apology" came when he brought the check that I waited 15 minutes for and even longer for him to bring the change. The pancakes were solid and OK. Chicken stir fry from dinner was bland and came in a soupy mess. It was like rice in a soup. Think gumbo w/o the gumbo flavor. I don't think that was the intention. Omelette needed salt or pepper or both. Southwest egg rolls were OK. Wings were dry and unseasoned meat w 0 taste without the sauce. I'm not a bar fly anymore so maybe the rave reviews are for the bar. I don't know but I cannot spend an hour and 15 minutes waiting for food, only to have a fraction of our order arrive, 0 water refills, 0 fs given from the waiters and horrific attitude from the curly haired guy today... I don't get it how he was so miserable at such an early point in his day. I wish I could come here daily bc it's close and right there, but I gets no love from this place. Wishing them the best.

Perfect Irish pub for a late night drink with locals vibes. The staff here is excellent and the Guinness is top notch. We are big fans of their wings and it's a great spot to catch the Yankees or NHL/NBA. I haven't been here for a football Sunday, their bar room is a bit small and limited tvs so probably would only get the local games. This is the best spot uptown for a nightcap after dinner!

I rarely leave yelp reviews, but Carpe is absolutely deserving of all 5 stars. Nick, the main bartender, is incredible at his job; very welcoming and courteous the second you walk into the bar. The staff around him is always hustling to ensure quality and efficient service. The atmosphere is quite cozy and has the 'small town bar' feel. Great spot to have some wings, pound a Guinness, and watch any sports game.
