Amanda's - Hoboken

Went for the birthday dinner tonight- I think this was my favorite meal in Hoboken since moving here. Ambiance was just wonderful. Food was 11/10. Everything was just so fresh. They make their own pasta dough there everynight- we got the short rib (cooked to perfection and just a really wonderful flavor profile), empanadas (Beef was incredible, spinach wasn't my favorite), chopped salad, brussels, spinach ravioli, salmon, pork chop, and garlic spinach. This was a thoughtful menu that focused on the best ingredients and flavors. Got 3 appetizers, 4 entrees, and 4 soft drinks for all under 200, cannot recommend this place enough.

The place doesn’t assert walks ins, cash only and it’s hard to get sitting. This would be ok If the food matched its reputation but it does ok, instead of great. Some dishes are better than others. Their main one the pork chop was dry when I ate it and I wasn’t a super fan of the service, but it could have been the day

Excellent place! Excellent attention from everyone and especially from Juan and the entire team!! Live music ?? We hope to return!!

Dinner was absolutely phenomenal! We had the empanada's which were delicious! My For entrees, we had the braised short ribs and gnocchi's mouth watering! The ambience was outstanding from the decor, to their set up, to the piano player! Top notch customer service for sure! Highly recommend. Also, kid friendly! We brought our baby and she loved every minute of it as well.

Very disappointed with the waitstaff. After taking our order, never returned to see if we needed our drinks replenished, or wanted to order anything else. Never asked if everything came out as ordered. Just not the same Amanda's I remember where the staff was right on top of making the customer feel glad we chose Amanda's. Not this time!
