The Feathered Fox — Restaurant in Livingston

A definite go to for upscale dining and the oenophiles. Even if you’re not a fan of the upscale food scene you will be pleasantly surprised at the relaxed atmosphere of The Feathered Fox.

Come as you are in your casual office attire and be prepared to leave extremely happy. Personally I came to try out their celebrated wine list and enjoy a nice pairing. I left with so much more.

Their staff is knowledgeable about food and beverages but to be thoroughly amazed you have to seek out Rob C. Among the cognoscenti Rob is the wine whisperer. Being schooled in wine myself I am often interested in others opinions of great pairings. This man is the TRUTH!

A quick bite of oysters and a glass of pretty flinty Gruner Veltliner, unexpectedly turned into a wonderful dining experience.

The Spanish octopus with crispy potatoes and a light amount of a slightly tart yet creamy dressing paired with a Bernard Griffin 2017 Chardonnay (yeah I am not Chard drinker but WHOA!) No heavy oak on this one so it goes down super easy.

Next up was the traditional steakhouse ala carte offering of Lamb Chops with a Miso Butter. I added Brussel sprouts. The dark char on the outside is a bit misleading. I requested medium rare.When you cut into the decadent chop tiny delicate rivulets of juice greet your plate and OMG the taste is almost celestial. The Brussel sprouts were roasted with a combination of honey and togarashi, there’s nothing like Brussel sprouts that are “extra fancy”! This was a tricky pairing for me but the Wine Whisperer recommended 2 choices. I went with them both.

Domaine La Ligiere 2019 Vacqueyras Classique for my sprouts and the Syrah Laurent Fayolle 2019 Hauterives Crozes-Hermitage Rouge for the oh so perfect Lamb. The nature and nuance of old vines never disappoint when paired with savory meats.

Dinner was perfect, but wait there’s more… can’t leave without dessert, it's simply uncivilized. I was introduced to my first Tokaj a nicely sweet Hungarian Aszu grape.

I’ve returned to the Feathered Fox on two other occasions each visit more satisfying than the last. Take a group of friends, take a date, take yourself and enjoy everything this lovely restaurant...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit Culinary Gem in Jersey City!

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at Jersey City’s newest hotspot during its soft opening night, and we’re still raving about the entire experience. With breathtaking views of the marina as the backdrop, this restaurant delivers not just on scenery but also on exceptional food, service, and atmosphere.

From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—special shoutout to our incredible waiter Johnathon, who was attentive, knowledgeable, and truly made our night memorable.

The cocktails were expertly crafted, each one perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor—clearly made by a team that takes pride in mixology.

Now onto the food, which was absolutely phenomenal. The sushi blew us away—each roll was a standout, but the Truffle Scallop Roll, The Feathered Roll, and The Foxy Roll were next-level in taste and presentation. Fresh, creative, and unforgettable.

We started with a gorgeous spread of appetizers including the Gulf White Shrimp, Daily East & West Coast Oysters, and Broiled Oysters, all impeccably fresh. The Beet Salad was a refreshing, earthy complement to the richness of the seafood.

The main dishes were equally outstanding. The Filet Mignon and Prime NY Strip were both cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The Peppercorn-Cognac sauce deserves its own spotlight—silky, rich, and the perfect pairing to the steaks.

The sides were a highlight all on their own: the Classic Creamed Spinach was comforting and creamy, the Duck Confit Mac and Cheese was decadent and unique, and the Mashed Potato Rings were a brilliant twist—crispy, creamy, and unforgettable.

To finish, the desserts were divine. We shared the Meringue Tart, Chocolate Cake, and a few others—each one was the perfect sweet ending to an extraordinary meal.

We honestly can’t wait to return, and without a doubt, this is now the best restaurant in Jersey City. Whether you’re going for a romantic evening, a night out with friends, or simply to indulge in top-tier cuisine, this place delivers in every way. Bravo to the...

You walk into The Feathered Fox not knowing exactly what to expect. A name like that? Could be a pretentious small plates joint with overpriced cocktails and waiters who look like they’re auditioning for a Wes Anderson flick. But no—this place has teeth. Swagger. And above all, soul.

The wait? Yeah, it’s long. But so is the line outside a Tokyo ramen stall at 2 a.m., or the crowd fighting for a stool at a Bangkok street vendor who’s been cooking the same dish for 50 years. You don’t measure these things in minutes. You measure them in bites.

And the bites here? Jesus.

First forkful in, and you realize this isn’t just food—it’s intent. It’s someone back there in the kitchen who gives a damn. A chef who’s not just plating, but storytelling. Maybe a little dark, maybe a little weird, definitely not phoning it in. The kind of food that doesn’t beg you to like it—it dares you not to.

Every dish is like a well-placed jab to the senses—crispy where it should be, unctuous where you hope it is, and plated with the kind of precision that says we’re serious, but not uptight. It’s that rare balance between indulgent and intelligent. You taste risk. You taste confidence.

And the room? It hums. Not in that sterile, corporate way, but like the kind of place where someone might propose at the bar—or start a fight. Both are appropriate.

The Feathered Fox doesn’t care if you Instagram your plate. It wants you to remember it the next morning, like a hangover from a great night—one you’ll tell stories about but won’t need to embellish.

Worth the wait? Hell,...
