Patrick DuffyJune 27, 2014The menu had me somewhat concerned, but this place was a pleasant surprise. Great cocktails, wine and beer, and the food was very vibrant and flavorful. Nice decor, friendly staff and manhattan view
The Kale salad with candied walnuts and dried cherries and Caesar dressing infused with lemon zest and garlic, so good. Having Maria as your server, the BEST!!!
ArbellFebruary 16, 2013Oysters were super fresh and their burrata with pumpkin was delicious. Also, service was friendly and while slow at times, was actually perfect for a nice, intimate Friday night dinner.
Fred SullivanNovember 30, 2014Great selection of beers to have with American Classic with a foodie twists. For instance the eggs Florentine had a nice portobello mushroom. A squash soup was dress with garlic shoots.- Lucy MariaMay 2, 2021The lobster roll and fish and chips were delicious. Not you’re typical fish and chips. Really nice flavor. Nice ambiance, too!
Richard RevillaNovember 30, 2015Pretty great brunch and the place has a great feel and decor. Service was excellent. Thumbs up to the Light Horse worth a Sunday in Jersey City.
Brunch Benedicts are always good. Try the lobster one. For dinner, the beet salad is flavorful #. Pan-seared duck breast is a local favorite.
Different specials everyday. Come early on Thursday for Prime Rib because they tend to run out ...
HeenaMarch 1, 2015Went for post dinner drinks on vday. Great ambiance huge place. Decent selection of speciality cocktails. Good house wine.
- Rinna EscamillaAugust 5, 2013Eli at the bar makes a fantastic everything. Garlic shrimp, great. Mussels, fantastic. Octopus salad, good! Crispy pork ribs, amazing! Raw bar is superb.
Akanksha ChauhanSeptember 26, 2018The chocolate ganache with pomegranate and roasted walnuts is such a great pairing. Not too rich and just the perfect portion for one.
Great terrace for brunch, beautiful bar inside, food always great.
The Calamari withe the Spicy Yellow Tomato Ragout is outrageous. Do yourself a favor and. Order a double because everyone will be eating yours
Alexander KyleJune 12, 2014The Lobster Bucatini on Monday night was incredibly delicious. and the staff is top notch. Tops of the Jersey City after work scene
Bradly.January 6, 2011Brunch? Get an order of the pancakes. I don't really like pancakes but these slices of heaven are not your average pancakes. I got the banana & choc. So good. You can thank me later. You're welcome!
Sujay ShahApril 14, 2018Great location, nice ambience. Good place for brunch with reasonable prices. Ok service.
UNOlkerAugust 3, 2013The beer list is fairly extensive. Nice rotation on both draught and bottle. You will find something to compliment your meal.
Felipe P.April 12, 2015Steak & fries with a nice glass of Guinness! Great ambiance. A little expensive, but still great!
Randolph KahleAugust 14, 2013Light Horse Tavern does not disappoint. Beer selection is excellent. I've been there five times and the food has always been good to excellent.
One of my favorite places in the NYC area. Great food. Love the Blue Cheese Burger or the Smoked Salmon Benedict.
Bridget WoznicaAugust 21, 2016Huge place. Loved the romantic outdoor seating and the sea bass. Perfect for date night.
The food is great, but the table service is AWFUL. If you go, sit at the bar. The full menu is available, and the bar staff is friendlier/more attentive.
The French toast is killer. You can order anything and won't be disappointed though.
The bar menu has a dew different (and less expensive) selections. The hamburger (at the bar or at a table) is excellent!
Do brunch here; order a Bloody Mary or two. Best Bloody Mary in the JC!
Don't forget to order one of the homemade sodas. The lemon ginger soda is amazing.
Love their fish and chips! Probably the best in the neighborhood.
E DareMarch 23, 2012Fabulous food, great atmosphere. We love going to Light Horse. Bring back the blueberry crumble!
Great brunch menu. I love the ricotta pancakes! Smoked salmon bagel is very good too
Edward ORourkeAugust 23, 2010Extensive beer list. Hand made sodas used in their cocktails. Good wine list. Octopus salad is fantastic. Great cheese selection.
Ron LongeFebruary 12, 2012A wonderful place for brunch. The omelet with chorizo and Gruyer was delicious.
I really dislike the service in this place. But the burger is amazing.
Courtney WAugust 5, 2012Great brunch choices. The food is amazing and so is dessert!! Great beer choices too
Esther EstebanApril 23, 2017Despite the place is nice, you will waste your whole time waiting for food. This is probably the slower restaurant in Jersey City and they do not mind. Sadly, no coming back.
Living on the HudsonOctober 29, 2010Best beer & wine selection in downtown Jersey City! Enjoy the incredible atmosphere.
