City Bistro

Found myself at City Bistro late on a Thursday night. Went to the bar and asked for a Laphroiag neat (scotch). The bartender put it on the rocks. Im not sure how you screw that up. Should be one of the basics of bartending.. Either way, this place is just OK... nothing special.

City Bistro has never let me down. Always great service, great food and a great time. They have good specials all week from the food to drinks to happy hours and is just an overall great restaurant. They also have the best pizza in Hoboken. I highly recommend this place.

Didn't have any problems when I ate here a while back. Food was okay and service was fine

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I apologize in advance for the length of this review, but I felt the need to explain in detail. I went there today (Tuesday) to celebrate my brother's 21st birthday. I asked the waiter what the happy hour specials were, and he said that all drinks and appetizers were half off after 4pm. There's also a box on the bottom left hand corner of the lunch menu that says "drinks and apps half price after 4pm." I ordered a beer and my brother ordered two "specialty" drinks. We also ordered one appetizer in addition to our main courses. While all of this was happening, we switched to a female waiter because the male waiter's shift ended. When we received the bill, we realized that they charged us full price for the two speciality drinks and the appetizer. We approached our female waitress, and she said only beers and wines are half off- not specially drinks or apps. My brother and I asked her to honor what the first waiter told us and have this be reflected in an updated bill, and she said she would have to speak to the manager. A few minutes later, a woman (who did not introduce herself by name or position) came up to us and said there was nothing she could do. When we asked her who she was, she said her name was Gina and that she was the manager. She was immediately very rude and unhelpful. We told her that her menus clearly state the "drinks and apps are half off after 4pm" and she proceeded to tell us we were wrong. I asked her to bring me over a menu and I showed her and then she said "oh... I don't know why it says that... That's wrong." So instead of honoring what her menu says, she stuck to the original bill. We were asking her some questions and then she said "UGH I can't deal with people like this, you can deal with them" (speaking to our waitress). She then proceeded to walk away from my brother and I while we were speaking, and left the restaurant to walk around the block. I have never experienced anyone, let alone a manager, speak to me like this at a restaurant and then storm off like a child. The experience was completely horrific and I would never go back. The waitress even came over and apologized and said "I'm so sorry, I've been a waitress for over 15 years and I've never seen a manager act like this." When Gina returned from her walk, my brother asked who works above her so we could speak to them in regards to her poor attitude and work ethic. She replied "there's no one but me. My brother owns the place, so good luck." Honestly, I was beyond horrified. I actually began crying at one point because I've never been treated so poorly. It got so bad that one of the bartenders actually came out and apologized for everything as well. Truly an awful experience and I would never return. Ruined my brother's 21st birthday celebrations as well. The place definitely needs a new manager with a far better people skills. She is single-handedly responsible for the loss of a future customer.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC SERVICE! Gina was very courteous and attentive I HIGHLY recommend the place! The food is great the atmosphere is cute trendy the staff is well trained and efficient the best part is how affordable it is! Sunday brunch was amazing!!!
