“First of all, let me make sure you guys understand that I’m a 29 year Brooklyn native. Not knowing anything about southern cuisine I strolled into Krewe as I explored Jersey City. Before even getting through the doors I’m greeted by calming music leading me into an eye catching environment filled with tasteful art along with festive decorations.Smiles all around taking me to my seat as my stomach began to growl with anticipation. I’m a heavy eater of chicken so I went with the Chicken Po Boy….didn’t regret a thing. The south cut up chicken thigh overflowing out of my sandwich was a sight to see and the juiciness left my tastebuds back flipping. Water for my beverage as I’m a simple man. On a reccomendation I tried the Grit Fries - never knowing what grits truly were. To my surprise the delicious crispy crunchy outer layer was nothing compared to the soft warm cloud in the middle. I was sold, sandwich so flavorful along with a side of deep fried heaven - what more can I ask for from my new lunch spot.Service was amazing as people were warm and friendly. Cooks did an amazing job and the food was complimented by a very clean and vibrant environment. You’ll definitely catch me there again!“

“As we were greeted as soon as we came in by a very lovely lady at the front counter, we were immediately seated with the waiter, coming out very promptly and taking care of every knee. As soon as something was finished it was removed as soon as you needed something they were right there some of the best service I’ve ever had in my life. It’s hard to find and the food is absolutely amazing. Is one of the best nights I’ve had out at dinner and well over a year year.“

“The start was quite bumpy. But first of all, the ambience. Everything is very nicely done, but you have the feeling of sitting in a large ballroom. A lot could be done better with appropriate interior design.Our waiter was very polite but still very inexperienced. Our order of wine was a bit overwhelming for the young gentleman, as was the question of a sommelier. By the way, this is a real weak point of the restaurant: there is no sommelier. There is also a relatively simple wine list that only differentiates according to grape variety. It becomes a bit difficult as a wine connoisseur if all you see in the blends is the name of the winery and the wine. Very weak, especially when you also have wines worth over $500 on the menu. Nobody could really help. So thanks to the manager we tried the open wines. But a sommelier would actually be mandatory in a restaurant like this.So it took over 30 minutes before we were able to order something. And to be honest, we thought about leaving without eating here.The food came out of the kitchen quickly. And it was worth staying here. The salad as well as the raviolo for starters were excellent. The two steaks afterwards were perfectly prepared and tasted very good. Perfectly balanced roasted flavors without overpowering the meat taste. The cooking level was perfect. The dessert was just as good as everything before it.Would I go again? To be honest, I'm torn about this. On the one hand, the food was excellent, but on the other hand, the service still needs to be worked on until it is at the level it should be. Plus the missing sommelier. I also like to drink expensive red wine with my steak, but that is simply not possible here because there is no one who can really give good advice. And if I'm lucky, I don't want to order a bottle of wine for $200 plus.“

“The food is delicious and customer service is AMAZING! They always go the extra mile - in the two times I’ve ordered I’ve received some free appetizers/sides. For Valentine’s Day they included a heart-shaped balloon and a rose! The personal touch is much appreciated, and it’s the cherry on top of the food that was already super tasty.“

Will be back soon to try the other dishes (like the orata fish!)! Thank you so much! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!“

“I came for brunch but ordered off of the dinner menu. I had the bluepoint oysters, the octopus, ribeye steak with spinach, and my friend had the steak salad off of the brunch menu. The place was okay. I did enjoy my lavender lemon drop martini. We had Tira misu and cheesecake for dessert. There was nothing extraordinary about the food. It was tasty, and I think it's a cute brunch maybe lunch spot, but there was nothing amazing that stood out.“

“Awesome, awesome spot. Food from apps to entrees (I had chicken parm) are generous portions and VERY good. We went here with a group of 12 for my birthday and not only was service good, the staff were so nice & fun. We kept adding music to the jukebox and when it was clear the rest of the restaurant patrons were also enjoying it, they turned it up a bit we all sang and the staff were soaking it up. We loved them (even the cooks were enjoying it!). All in all, quaint spot, but if you go with friends and want to shut the place down on a weekend night, they're happy to give you an unforgettable night.Highly recommended and we will be back!!“

“In the middle of winter I was craving for a coastal summer vibe. So, I ordered the shrimp basket from Lobster Garage and a bottle of rose from the nearby liquor store (I'm proudly basic). I ordered to go by the way. The venue is styled as an ocean front pub. Picture Cape Cod or even Isla Morada. It's gotta be great in the summer because they have outdoor seating. The place is very welcoming. Great staff, great location conveniently located few steps from the Path train. The friend shrimps are coated in a thick batter, and they are big pieces. It comes with ketchup, Cole slaw, and tartar sauce. Dipped in tartar sauce, they are divine. They come with a generous side of skinnt fries that are not soggy and seasoned just right. The portion of the basket is good and as corny as it sounds, it accompanied the rosè very well.“
