The best reuben ever. We've had lunch there many times. Never disappointed. The food is served well, delicious and consistent. I also had the lobster bisque today. Lobster meat was presented in the bowl and the bisque was poured over. Very unique and very good. But, if you like corned beef, you must have the reuben. You can also opt for a half sandwich and cup of soup. I really can't eat a whole sandwich, so that's perfect.

Great restaurant for brunch. We went as a family, but have been as just a couple as well. The decor is warm and inviting. The food is dependably good and the kids all loved their meals.

Came here for a first date and I was able to hear my date and the food, drinks, service, and ambiance were good. The steak sandwich and espresso martini were good and the prices were decent. They have a bogo entree night on Monday too! And the date went well!

Our go to restaurant when visiting friends in Hoboken. Food is always good. Salads are large enough for 4 to share. Ordered the gnocchi with bolognese sauce which was absolutely delicious. Huge portion that I didn’t think I’d finish, but too good not to. Friendly atmosphere, good service, nice bar.

Loved our dinner at Elysian Cafe. Food great, it was 2 for 1 entrees so a great deal! Packed so noisy, but food delish! Service was a little lacking but I think that was because they were so busy.
