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

Attentive staff and a good wine list. The menu was new for the restaurant and had a number of options for my wife that is Vegan and has a gluten allergy.

Our dining experience was terrific. The food was great. Our server - and the entire staff - were terrific. And the restaurant is elegant. We all hope to return for another meal soon. Given the challenging Parking situation in Jersey City, we also appreciated the discounted parking at a nearby lot provided by the restaurant.

This was our second time at 87 Sussexx. The food is absolutely delicious. The service is impeccable. And the ambience is just awesome. The first time, we went for our 28 year anniversary. Last night, we brought some friends with us. We will be back again for sure.
