UH Hoboken #thenewuh — Restaurant in Hoboken

Came in one Saturday afternoon for brunch with a reservation at 12:45 for a party of four. The place was pretty empty for prime brunch time (and didn't really fill up as we were eating either).

We all decided to do the prix fixe menu, where you get 4 small plates, 1 large drink (with a refill) for $24 per person. For the drink, they come in a HUGE mason jar, and you get a choice of mimosas, bloody marys, or the UH brunch punch. I had asked our waiter if we would be able to try a bit of the brunch punch before we committed to it. He said we couldn't because they make a batch directly into the large mason jar. Ok fine. So I get the bloody mary, which is not bad but there's very little alcohol in it. Plus, bloody mary's are pretty filling for me and I can only drink so much of it, so I wanted to switch to a mimosa. When I asked if I could switch, our waiter said we couldn't because they make the drinks in huge batches and just refill it into your cup. So which is it? Because it sounds to me like the liar was just too lazy to accommodate the customers. Bad drinks aside, some of the food is pretty good.

1st plate (choose from a selection of toasts) - I had the smoked salmon toast. This was good but the the edges of my toast were a little bit burnt. 2nd plate (choose from breakfast tacos, chicken waffle dogs, and a few other items I can't remember) - I really liked the chicken waffle dog. The chicken was a nice change. It's also the perfect size because I think if it was any bigger, I probably would have gotten sick of it. 3rd plate (choose from a selection of salads or a slider duo) - I went with the slide duo, which was some gyro sammie, and a mini lobster roll. The gyro was great, while the lobster was just okay. It came topped with these fried onion straws, which didn't seem to go with it. 4th plate (choose from two flatbreads, or chilaquiles skillet) - I picked the chilaquiles but I wish I hadn't. It was soggy and cold.

It seems that their menu is a mix of meh items and pretty good items. If you are coming for brunch, I would recommend just ordering a la carte, and getting a beer instead of one of their...

My new favorite burger in Hoboken! Super laid back outdoor dining in a beer hall setting facing the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline. I had a wonderful experience here on the 4th of July. My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to grab dinner before the fireworks and came over to Union Hall. Dave, one of the owners immediately came over to greet us and personally seat us along with the hostess outside at the table of our choice. Dave also returned when we were ordering to personally see if we were looking for any recommendations. We were immediately served by a very friendly waiter named Elijah who took great care of us. The shrimp cocktail was superb with an incredibly delicious and uniquely flavored, chili salt served around the rim of the glass. The tomato flatbread was very fresh and very tasty. The French Punch was a very very good, served in a generous portion and had a great fruity taste with a clean finish (great on a hot night). The 902 Hell or Hoboken IPA is a classic IPA with a strong flavor profile which was part of an incredible beer list. The big highlight for me, however, was the burger. The Kobe beef burger was Off. The. Charts. Good. A very simply prepared, classic burger with an incredible special sauce that was cooked to a PERFECT medium rare. I have had burgers all over Hoboken and Manhattan and this burger is my favorite by Far. My hat is off to this new restaurant and I cannot wait till I come back and would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Great outdoor date spot or lounging with friends under the lights on Sinatra, you cannot miss with the restaurant. Great work and good luck with...

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit a restaurant with my wife, and unfortunately, our experience fell far short of expectations. We arrived with hearty appetites, having only had a light breakfast earlier in the day. With high hopes, we ordered the short ribs and a ribeye, expecting a satisfying and flavorful meal.

To start, my dish, despite being one of the most expensive on the menu, was disappointingly small. The portion of meat barely reached 150 grams, and the mushrooms—only two pieces—left much to be desired. The flavor was underwhelming, with the seasoning leaning towards the heavy side. The accompanying polenta was bland, lacking any distinct taste, and had the texture of stale bread.

My wife ordered the ribeye, which came with a side of chimichurri. Fortunately, we requested the sauce on the side, as its sour and overly spicy taste was far from pleasant. The dish also included spinach, which was clearly overcooked, detracting from its natural flavors.

As for the drinks, the piña colada tasted like a simple pineapple juice—nothing special at all. The mezcal cocktail was equally disappointing, with a mix of flavors that did nothing to complement each other; the only thing that stood out was the taste of sour lemon.

The only redeeming aspect of our meal was the Zaragoza soda, which was refreshing and well-balanced. It's clear that this restaurant has potential, but there are significant improvements needed, particularly in the quality and execution of their dishes. I sincerely hope the owner sees this review and considers making some much-needed changes...
