I've heard a lot of hype about this place so I was excited to go check it out. Now I can't wait to go back! The food was phenomenal and the DJ was such a fun touch. We ended up walking in with no reservation and we're able to order at the bar.

Food was extremely good. One of the best NJ brunches/lunches I had. The crispy chicken was very juicy and had great flavor combinations. Not pictured, the mussels were great as well, especially the sauce for dipping bread. One thing that would've made the experience better would've been if we were seated at a table instead of the bar. Not sure why we couldn't sit at a table since there were many empty tables when we arrived and again when we left. We were a party of 2 with no reservation so not sure what their seating policy is, but do appreciate it when places still can accommodate the customer.

10/10 bread pudding. 0/10 service. The food I've had is phenomenal, but they do terrible business in terms of pricing and service. First time I got an Italian baguette it was $2 and they charged $1 extra to pay with card though. Next time they said their baguettes are $3.75 each for cash and card. Their other restaurant, Antique at 112, charged $4.50! For brunch, the spaghetti squash carbonara was $15 and the bread pudding $17. I ordered the bread pudding for dinner one day and was charged $20. These inconsistent pricing practices discourage me from wanting to patronize them despite the fantastic food. Stop taking advantage of your customers. The bread itself is firm yet soft and not crusty. It has perfect consistency and smoothness. Excellent baguette bread perfect for sandwiches. The spaghetti squash was a hefty portion for the price and had squash shaped like spaghetti, a rich delicious carbonara sauce, salty delicious pancetta, and a breaded hard boiled egg. Absolutely fantastic dish. The bread pudding was masterfully made with their great bread, a rich moisture, especially at the bottom, and an ultra sweet caramel sauce on the side. The bread pudding is among the best I've had and perfect except for the too sweet caramel sauce.

I loved this place! Great bar area with great music and the tables were spacious and comfortable. The service was good and quick but we didn't didn't feel rushed at all. All dishes were brought out at a good time - not too many dishes on the table at once, which I love. All of the food was amazing and I would get everything again, especially the hot oil shrimp and the spaghetti squash carbonara....both delish! Everything else was also so flavorful and tasty.

Antique Antique was one of my favorite places we went to in all of Hoboken. We went immediately at 5pm because we didn't have a reservation and wanted to catch a show in midtown. We were seated quickly and discussed what to get. We split a pasta dish (I forgot the name but it was amazing) and had the famous bread pudding. Let me start by saying the atmosphere of this restaurant is exactly what you want from a NJ / NY bar dinner. It is sexy and bustling, old yet upscale. I ateeee this up. The food was beyond incredible. The pasta dish we had was 11/10. Just so flavorful, creamy and comforting for that December night. The bread pudding can not be missed. It is what they're known for and it seriously is the best you'll ever have. It is physically massive so you can share this with 4 people easily. Overall - a perfect night out with the best food and company. Can not wait to be back!!

Very very good food. The place is small and cramped and dimly lit. We had to use our phone light to see the menu. The music at times was so loud I was yelling over it to talk. The bathrooms are small and kind of dirty, there was no holder for the toilet paper and I found it behind the toilet which is gross. The wait staff felt very chill. Our waiter was nice, he forgot my friends drink and then brought it out and didn't charge for it so that's good. In order to eat at a decent time you need to book a reservation way in advance. I had to keep my eye on it when the new reservations would open online so I can get the time slot I wanted which was 7:30. I booked like 2 weeks in advance. We ended up getting there at 7:45 and it was no issue. We had a to wait a bit for the host to arrive at the front to seat us. There were some people trying to get in without a reservation and it seemed the staff was nice to them and tried but I don't think it happened. I got the burger $26. Big filling burger. The flavor was like no other burger. The crisp/ char on the outside tasted so unique. Perhaps because it was cooked in the 100 year old oven. The fries where cooked perfectly. I loved the addition of the pickle on the side and the pickles on top of the burger! I love pickles. My friend got the Mezzi Rigatoni and the sauce was delicious, also never tasted a sauce like that before. She really enjoyed it. All big portions. And we had to get the bread pudding the size of a head for dessert! $25. Best bread pudding I ever had!! It's crispy on the outside but hot and steamy and puddingy on the inside. The cocktail I got was "grow a pear" $16 and it was very good. Sweet and bubble but not too sweet and had a delicate fruity flavor. Despite its flaws I would definitely come back just because the food is so good. The prices are spot on for the portions and quality of food you are getting. Come try this place!

If your overthinking about giving this place a chance I'm here to tell you don't and just go! Food was simply amazing ! Everything was delicious and made fresh! Nothing tasted over seasoned at all. I had the priest strangler and it was so delicious and had a unique taste to it . I took a few bites of the artichoke salad and was seriously impressed! Drinks were also very good and refreshing. Service was great, our server was honest about food taking a bit to cook. The serve gave us history to the place which made it even a more pleasant experience. Ambiance: this place is for everyone! Simply amazing I am eagerly waiting to go back!!

Wow! My mouth is watering just thinking about the food! Our server was Matt, he took the time to introduce himself, give us history and ran down the menu. I can truly say I will be back! This restaurant has gone viral on social media and with good reason. The food is great, The drinks are amazing, the dessert out of this world! My only criticism would be the steak although deliciously flavored was chewy. Please visit and get The bread pudding!

WOW! I'm already day dreaming about the next time I visit. The century-old institution also features a 30-ton coal oven and the restaurant still looks like a historic spot in some areas. So cool! We ordered the spaghetti squash carbonara, butternut squash rice balls, and priest stranglers with spicy sausage. We could really taste the sage coming through in the dishes, the portion were plentiful, and everything was so delicious and tasty. The pasta dishes had enough for us to take home because we couldn't finish it. Nonetheless, we saved some space for the Bread Pudding which I had been dying to try and boy it did not disappoint! It was the perfect amount of sweet without being overpowering. You bet we took that home as well! The service was great, we really enjoyed our waitress and our drinks were fantastic. You won't regret getting anything on this menu.
