We have lived in Jersey City for nearly 15 years. Truly the best food we have had to date -- white table cloths, pretty plates and even better food. I am so happy to have finally found 87 Sussex

Overall Beautiful restaurant + fine dining experience. Very Good food beautifully presented. Desserts took just a bit too much time. Although we were celebrating a Birthday; they came w flaming cannolis. Prices were high but for the overall experience quality + delicious food + nice cocktails well worth it!

Interesting menu, well executed. Nice ambiance. Good vibe with a buzz but easy enough to still enjoy dinner conversation. A nice option for fine dining in Jersey City
