Reviews for Battello in Jersey City, NJ
Highly recommended. Great ambience and staff service. Awesome dining experience with a great table view of the Hudson River and... New York skyline. The food off the lunch menu was delicious. Recommend the lobster roll. For dessert the brioche donut. EmmyJames lavender-infused cocktail drink is a must. Read more
This place is spacious and has great views if NYC. I was really bummed that the espresso machine was not ready when we arrived... for brunch. We were told that it was too hot and it was taking longer than expected to get started. Hopefully they get thatfigured out for future brunches! The brunch menu is limited, but we lived everything that we ordered. The meringue dessert wasespecially good! Read more

A Battello is a small boat often tied to larger boats and used to bring people back and forth from the shore. I’m not sure why... this name was chosen and a lot of times I’ve passed their statue with the name under it and wondered what it was. I found outthat it’s a real jewel on the Hudson in Jersey city. The first thing you’ll notice is that while the building itself lookssmall, the establishment is incredibly spacious, and well thought out. Very very clean. The staff is very courteous andprofessional. While sitting at the bar having a coffee I listen to the bar keep and a host discuss the wine, making sure it waschilled properly etc. very thoughtful. I liked that the customer doesn’t know that they’re working behind the scenes to makethe moment nice. The view outside of Manhattan is incredible also and worth the visit if just to look at the skyline whilehaving a Manhattan from the bar. It also looks like the beginning of some construction on a adjacent bit of land of which I’mhopeful it won’t obstruct the view. This is how a restaurant should be and I’ll write more when I have time to eat there. Read more
I traveled from Canada to New York to visit my friends. Asked them to take me somewhere special and they introduced me here. Not... disappointed at all. The location and view is amazing. I visited on a rainy day, but I am sure the sunny day view will bestunning. My favorite is salmon tartare from the seafood tower. Also the lamb chop and the grilled octopus. Very good place asfor fine dining. Read more
Was there for a corporate dinner. They were very responsive via email for coordinating our event on what we knew is probably... going to be a busy night for most restaurants. We selcted a 4 course prix fix menu. The shrimp with celery 3 ways, pasta, andsea bass with caviar were great. The bourbon ice cream on the peach tart was a nice touch. Everyone seemed to enjoy theirdrinks. Location and views were amazing! Loved the love music too. I think "Hotel California" might have even sounded betterwith acoustic. Service however missed a few things. The food was taking quite some time to come so we asked for bread. It'sunderstandable that we were a large party so things can take awhile. I was just confused why the bread plates didn't come beforethe bread. It was amazing bread though that was olive oil infused so need for butter. I'd go again since the food and atmospherewas so good.

We came here for a birthday dinner. The regular menu and vegan options were delicious! They were accommodating to my dairy... allergy. My husband LOVED his homemade pasta dish. He still talks about it. The staff was very friendly. We definitely recommendit for an evening out. You can’t beat the skyline views & fun atmosphere. It gets extremely busy so I would definitely makesure to have a reservation for a sit down table. Read more
