Court Street Bar & Restaurant

Hoboken Foodie is happy to have returned to Court Street.

It has been over 10 years since I’ve dined at this restaurant and for that……..Shame on me!!

When we walked in it all started to come back to me. This place has it all going on, a great bar scene and in the rear a cozy and terrific dining room.

Upon arrival the hostess told us there would be a 40 minute wait (and she was pretty close) so we ordered some beverages at the bar. The bartender was a bit slow in getting to us but I have to cut him some slack as he was the only mixologist in the place.

The joint was humming!

We took our seats in the dining room and our server came by to welcome us and take a drink order. They brought out the bread and butter along with a tapenade that was as good as I remember it.

I started out with the Oysters Rockefeller that were good, not great but good. I followed with a ceasar salad that was also good. For my entree I had a shrimp and lobster dish that was served over papardelle. Now here’s where it gets very good, this meal was outstanding! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the lobster was as tender as tender could be.

They could have put my plate back on the shelf when I was done because it was licked clean!

For desert the table shared a chocolate banana cake that was very nice.
Our server was great with a very good sense of humor as we ribbed her a bit. She was proud to mention the fact that they serve Folgers coffee and I must admit even that was really good.

So in closing I must say that I will not wait nearly as long before I come back to this place.

And that’s all I have to say about that!
