Faubourg Weehawken — Restaurant in Weehawken

2nd time here… We love everything the first time we came, so we decided to bring our friends in, turns out to be a huge disappointment.

Food tastes … just bland, nothing close to the first time we were here. The fries look floppy, looks like leftover from noon.

I had high hopes for the beef duo, but it just tasted significantly worse than the first time, seems like they forgot about the sauce, it lacks flavor. Idk, attaching two pictures of the same dish from the two times we were here.

Well, later when we looked inside the kitchen, we found out that the chef we saw here the first time, wasn’t here — I guess that explains everything, when we asked one of the waiter how many chefs they have, he simply answered he didn’t know.. ok..

I seem to understand now why some chefs on the shows are particularly picky about things — because you can obviously tell the difference lol. My highest respect goes to the chef here. And my sincere advice is to better train your team, so that you can deliver food consistently up to your standard, even if you are absent. It’s a Friday night, everyone is going to expect a higher standard.

If you value dining atmosphere and din’t care about the food, then this place is a good choice, it’s at a nice, chilled location near river. Sadly for us, we let our friends down miserably for bring them here this time.. Not to mention, the table behind us seemed to have 80% of the plates unfinished 👀, pretty sad customers I would say. If you want to succeed in this business you’ll have to do better and make some...

A disappointing experience. We went on a Wednesday evening and sat outside. The service felt stiff and rushed. We started with the avocado and beet salad, which looked nice but lacked freshness and flavor: something that unfortunately became a theme for the evening.

For the main course, we ordered the beef bourguignon and the fish with ratatouille. The beef tasted slightly stale, and both dishes lacked flavor. While the presentation of the food was appealing, the taste fell far short of expectations.

What made the experience even worse was the constant swarm of fruit flies and mosquitoes over our food. Between regretting our meal choices and repeatedly shooing away bugs, we just wanted to leave. When we mentioned this to our server, the response was a shrug and “it’s because of the plants.” While I understand that outdoor dining has its challenges, a restaurant at this level should make some effort, such as table fans or outdoor bug deterrents to ensure a comfortable dining experience.

For a place that charges fine dining prices, the food, service, and overall experience fell well below standard. Unfortunately, I would not recommend...

Our experience started with a warm greeting from Nikki and Liza as we entered the restaurant. It was honestly nothing short of those ladies being happy that we were dining with them. Shortly we had our drinks in hand and were perusing the menu. Foie gras (not officially on the menu but you may be able to order when making reservation), flambé (topped with duck prosciutto!) and beautiful raw oysters started our meal. We quite often order from the Day’s specials menu when dining out, although everything on their regular menu looks ‘special’, we feasted on a short rib entree that was simply spectacular in taste and presentation. We sat at a table that offered a bird’s eye view of Chef Marco creating these dishes…….what a treat! He is truly an expert. Do not order wine. Just let their amazing sommelier, Nicolas, know what you are having for dinner and he will match a perfect wine to complement your meal. Madeline’s, macaroons and a cheesecake like none other that I ever had finished this delightful evening. Faubourg Weehawken is chic, lively and yet warm and inviting…….you will have a...
